Gold Price Quickie

With prospects for a better global economy for 2014 having improved, it has seemed
reasonable to expect a cyclical style bounce up in price for gold. However, there has been
a strict caution in place -- no long side trades until gold moves up and through the now
very powerful downtrend resistance line in place since Q 3 '12. That line is now around
$1250 oz. and gold failed over the past two days to take out the trend at $1250. So, it
could tank again as it has with each past failure, but today's negative action was not severe
enough to drop interest in the situation yet. Gold Price Chart
