It was impressive that gold could rally while stocks ran up almost 200 points.  Gold prices ended the U.S. day session with good gains and hit a more-than-three-month high Tuesday. The market was boosted by the increasingly bullish near-term technical posture of gold, and by non-threatening comments made by Fed chief Janet Yellen. April gold was last up $15.80 at $1,290.40 an ounce. Spot gold was last quoted up $15.40 at $1291.00. March Comex silver last traded up $0.068 at $20.18 an ounce.
The highlight during U.S. trading hours Tuesday was Yellen’s inaugural testimony on monetary policy to the Congress. Traders and investors examined closely her morning remarks and prepared text. The market place’s “take-away” from Yellen’s comments was that she appears to be following closely in the footsteps of former Fed chairman Ben Bernanke, which is not surprising and does favor the dovish monetary policy camp. Yellens remarks were deemed a bit friendly for the gold market and other raw commodity markets Tuesday, even though it was not breaking news.
News reports overnight said demand for physical gold from China is on the rise, following that country’s Lunar New Year holiday.
The London P.M. gold fix is $1,282.00 versus the P.M. fixing of $1,277.00.
Technically, April gold futures prices closed nearer the session high and hit a more-than three-month high Tuesday. A six-week-old uptrend is in place on the daily bar chart. Bulls are gaining good upside near-term technical momentum and are now on a level near-term technical playing field with the bullsundefinedfor the first time in months. The gold bulls’ next upside near-term price breakout objective is to produce a close above solid technical resistance at $1,300.00. Bears' next near-term downside breakout price objective is closing prices below solid technical support at $1,250.00. First resistance is seen at Tuesday’s high of $1,294.40 and then at $1,300.00. First support is seen at $1,280.00 and then at Tuesday’s low of $1,273.50. Wyckoff’s Market Rating: 5.0
The House of Representatives voted to suspend the U.S. debt limit until March 2015, giving a win to President Barack Obama and Democrats in Congress who insisted that the ceiling be lifted without conditions.
China’s exports exceeded estimates in January while import growth unexpectedly accelerated, defying signs the world’s second-largest economy is losing momentum amid efforts to tame credit.

 Gold Short Term
Gold reached 1294 and just a bit shy of the 2nd blue line which is not at 1302.    This is definitely a spot where a short term peak can take place. But its also near where a lot of short positions would get nervous should price get much higher.  The other side of course is that a lot of players who were on the sidelines all of a sudden are interested and wondering if they should buy the breakout?   The 1st target for the week has been met and resistance should be high in this area.  What we have to watch out for is if the shorts run for cover and at the same time a lot of folks have been on the sideline and they are now getting antsy to get in. IF we get another up day it will make it even worse for both sides.   The chart has tested 34 hour moving average  and now we find out if re get back above the channel line or not.  It’s possible that a pullback is underway.  (See next chart short term cycles).
Support on a CLOSING basis is first at 1248-1255. Resistance is 1292-1302 and then 1313-1323. Everything was up on Tuesday.

 What Next?
The trend accelerated past some channel line in gold stocks and everyone piled on.  A breakout above 1270 has a lot of players now wanting to get in worried they might miss the ride.  Mid Week Wednesday is here ----- do we make the high for the week or pullback into Thursday?    Resistance will be 1292-1302 on Wednesday and support 1263-1273 and then 1255.
