Looks like a setup for a cool uptrend. It would make sense since gold has been dropping. Eventually people are gonna buy the dips.
Gold has been in a holding pattern for 18 months now. It's setting up for a big move one way or the other, IMO. I'm guessing it heads north, as central banks have signaled they are printing to solve the world's debt crisis.
============== Probably going north, since thats what most of the trends are-UP; not a prediction 10 year, 1 year candlecharts are uptrending also.
LOL!..nice setup my boloxinger bands..weekly timeframe...why don`t search thru the yearly,to find a setup for you?
price the straddle relative to what you consider to be the magnitude of the break out... i think asym triangles are very good indicators of impending breakouts.. thats from reading and experience..
