Gold is way over bought..............
BUT BUT..my 2 cents below
There is a gap at the 1650ish area in the cash market. They could fill that gap in a NY min, turn around and run higher.
It also could easily consolidate (go side ways) in the 1650 to 1800 area and
unwind the over bought situation. This would be really good for the technicals on the charts as it would reduce the volatility / price swings as well.
Lot of folks holding the physical are buying puts on gld...thunder has this trade on..... This is a bullish indication as a lot of long time holders are protected to the down side.
Sideways action will get the talking heads on TV to chatter about something else. They could chatter about...
Is their intelligent life behind the java streamers constantly blinking
red and
green...

...lol
I personally would prefer a nice steady linear trending buildup in a new channel to about 2K to 2.4K by Feb / mar 2011 may be even into next summer and then go with a Full Throttle Lift Off....

.......

Happy trading.
