GCJ23 – April Gold (Last:1854.60)

Last week’s subdued bounce created a bullish outside bar on the weekly chart, implying the uptrend will continue. However, if it reaches the green line (x=1925) that lies $70 above, that would trigger an appealing ‘mechanical’ short, stop 1976. That doesn’t necessarily mean the futures would recede back into the bowels of hell, only that the short would be a good bet to return a one-level profit with a drop to the red line (p=1874.90) before the larger uptrend resumes. The 1774.50 downside target will remain theoretically valid nonetheless until such time as C=1975.20 is exceeded.
