Gold daily chart, July 28, 2017

Gold markets went sideways initially during the day on Thursday, and then fell rather significantly in a sudden downdraft. This looks a lot like profit-taking, so we will have to see what happens next. I believe there is plenty of support down to at least the $1250 level, so as soon as we get a supportive candle or a bounce, I am willing to buy. It’s not until we break down below the $1240 level that I would be willing to start selling. Yes, I recognize that there is a lot of negativity in the market suddenly, but at the end of the day it is yet a blip on the radar of the overall uptrend.

Buying dips

I need to see a supportive candle underneath to start buying again, but that is my plan right now, to buy dips as they occur. I believe that the gold markets will probably go towards the $1275 level over the longer term, and then eventually the $1300 level after that. I have no interest in shorting until we break down below the previously mentioned $1240 level, so now it’s a simple waiting game for me when it comes to the gold market. I believe that the US dollar rallied has been a major contributor to the massive pullback that we have seen, but at this point I think that it’s only a matter of time before traders start shorting the US dollar again, and picking up gold. Patients will be needed, but that apparent trade should show itself yet again.
