GCJ26 – April Gold (Last:4988.60)

Gold is showing rather more pluck than Silver at the moment, having failed correctively to even reach the midpoint Hidden Pivot at 4586.20, let alone decisively exceed it as Silver has. The latter’s more punitive correction is undoubtedly related to its singular nuttiness in recent years. The seeming divergence will almost surely be resolved in the week ahead, and I lean toward a bullish outcome. The point ‘C’ high at 5113.90 does not look capable of putting up a fight, and gold showed every sign on Friday of its eagerness to test C’s mettle. The only hint of trouble is that the B-C leg of this pattern did not generate a fresh impulse leg with the 5113.90 top.  In any event, we’ll need to wait and see how things play out over the next couple of days before assuming new record highs are coming.
