On The Same Day Both Gold And The U.S. Dollar Index Made New Highs For The Year.
MY ANALYSIS
Fundamentally, GOLD held on to those gains while the U.S. DOLLAR INDEX didn’t. I believe GOLD prices will continue to climb upward for 3 basic reasons:
1. U.S. DOLLAR INDEX weakness
2. Safe Haven Or Flight To Quality Buying
3. EU or CHINA buying GOLD
Technically, the GOLD market is in a SUPER-TREND higher on the daily indicated by the market holding above the 2 MA’s that are both pointing higher.
