Gold Prices December 17, 2012, Technical Analysis

Gold markets did very little during the session on Friday as we continue to tread water around the $7000 level. Just below, we see quite a bit of significant support all the way down to the $1680 level, and as such we would be looking for some type of supportive candle like a hammer or a green one to start buying this market presently.

A long-term trend is far too bullish for us to start selling, and as you know by now we hold physical and ETF forms of gold also. Because of this, we are never actually “short” the market, and will only buy these futures contracts on signs of support or strength. We presently believe that we are in an area that could very well provide a supportive candle, and are simply waiting to see that in order to start buying.
