OPTIONS PLAY: Comex Gold Futures Hold Above $1300/Ounce

With still so much uncertainty about the economy and sovereign debt issues Comex Gold prices are holding firm above $1300/ounce.

MY ANALYSIS

Fundamentally,  in my opinion, there are a number of reasons why COMEX GOLD FUTURES could continue on this amazing unprecedented bull run including a weaker U.S. Dollar Index, Quantitative Easing, Debt Monetization, and a general fear of unstable Global Currencies.

Technically, I see COMEX GOLD FUTURES in a SUPER-TREND higher which I define as a market that holds above both the 9 period and the 20 period Moving Averages as the MA’s point higher. Although this market could be over bought and due for a correction, the trend up should continue. See daily chart below.

All known news and events have already been factored into the price of the underlying commodities discussed. The limited risk characteristic of options refers to long options only; and refers to the amount of the loss, which is defined as premium paid on the option(s) plus commissions.
