OPTIONS PLAY: Comex Gold Is At It Again
This article will focus on buying bull call spreads in Comex Gold.
MY ANALYSIS
Fundamentally, In my opinon it is a good time to buy bull call spreads in COMEX GOLD futures for 3 basic reasons.
1. Sovereign Debt Issues
2. Weaker USD
3. Fear Over A Double Dip Recession
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. See daily chart below. Additional charts and studies can be found at http://www.markethead.com/.
