Gold Hourly Chart

What Next?
The trends remain down in gold at the moment. The Bernanke speech on Wednesday should be the event of this week. Odds favor one more attempt lower this week. A close above last week’s high would have us re-looking at the short term situation. Even a close above 1244 would allow potential for a move towards 1280-1300. For now we think gold should not have much upside until the Bernanke speech on Wednesday.
Bottom Line
Until things stabilize we have to keep favoring the downside. But we’ll be the first to admit a bottom in this July timeframe would play with the seasonal trends we usually see. Lets see what Ben has to say on Wednesday.
The short term trends are turning from down to a sideways action with the yellow trend line near 1244 as the first resistance area to watch along with the green 200 hour moving average. Gold has been erratic as the channel lines were broken on 6/28 only to get a reversal a day later and then again last week on the jobs report and only to get a reversal back up today. Note how resistance is the green 200 hour moving average and the yellow channel line putting resistance at 1235-1245 going into Tuesday. A close above the yellow channel line would open the door to the next line above 1280. For the moment the odds favor that gold could take one test lower this week during the Bernanke speech on Wednesday. We’ll be watching the action to see if there are any hints of a turn-around. Our best take at the moment is gold’s upside should be limited until the Bernanke testimony. While he’ll most likely be trying to calm the bond market, this crazy market is capable of anything. A close above the yellow resistance line would give the short term the edge. Until then, consider it resistance. Support lies at 1212-1222 and 1188-1198.
