Gold 4h

Gold is messy right now.
The old downtrend channel (brown) was broken.
There may be new uptrend and may have a triangle here - yellow.
The long term support (pink) is @ ~ $937.

Gold 4h

The development of gold price was very unexpected. The price "cut" the 3 resistanses (blue and grey lines) and stopped in the middle of nowhere ;) . From there the price began correction and it will be very important where this correction will end.

Now the price may find support at the blue lines (objective $987) or may fell back in grey channel (only upper line is shown, objective $937, then $922).

Gold 4h and 1h

Gold 4h chart:

Gold 1h chart:Basically these are one and same chart. Gold found support at the $935 blue line, thats parallel to the previous channel. Grey lines shows the downtrend. Formal support act as resistance now and the price have difficulties to go tru $946 level.

One possibility is over time, the blue lines will raise, and the gray line will drop. Then they will "meet" at let say $948 where the the gold price will hit the immediate term peak.

Gold 4h

Unfortunately, the downtrend I spotted on Gold chart was developed and gold fell to the downtrend channel bottom (grey lines), and in same time to general daily support (pink). Note the pink line is estimated, because chart we use is 4 hours.

The low risk enter point in gold is probably now. Now gold must raise, but only to $955.

After that we may expect a correction, but it will be very difficult to predict it at this point, because the price will be inside the blue channel once again.

EUR/ZAR

EUR/ZAR 1 dayHere price pretty much go in range (canal) between 10.80 and 11.65. At the moment the price is at the range top and we may expect the price to fall to 10.80 again.

EUR/ZAR 4hHere on 4h chart we can see the supports - 11.30, 11.20, ~11.10 (brown line), 10.90, 10.80 (range bottom).

Conclusion, in the short term, the rand will go up against the EURo. In medium term we may expect the price to stay in the range.

Gold 4h, EUR/USD 8h and USD/ZAR 4h

Gold 4hGold correcting and we may already saw the low point - $ 940.54. It is not on the exact bottom (I miss the trade with $1 too). Now trend must be up to $980 area.

Grey line is probable down trend, and *must* be ignored for the moment.

EUR/USD 8hEURo already corrected, and now going up to $1.45. Note unlike the gold chart, this chart is 8h.

USD/ZAR 4hA reader requested me for EUR/ZAR analysis. I did USD/ZAR instead, but will look at EUR/ZAR later as well. Imortant here is that higher values means higher USD, lower values means higher rand.

Similar to other charts, there are USD-rising channel. The brown line probably forms a wedge, but it is already broken. Now we may see fall to ~8 rands, or fall may continue to 7.8 rands.

This means USD will go lower, and the ZAR will go up, at least in short term.
In long term ZAR may go down against the USD and probably against the EUR.

Gold 4h and EUR/USD 8h

Gold 4hGold going down to ~937, there must be some support at current levels. After decline to the lower boundary of the channel, gold must raise to 975-980.

EUR 8hEUR/USD picture is similar to the Gold, but timeframe is "double" - 8 hours. EUR already declined to lower boundary and any moment now must go up.

Gold 4h

Blue channel = in tact.
Brown channel (shown only upper boundary) = broken.
The pink line may or may not act as support.

2009-08-06

Gold 4h and 1h

Gold 4hThe blue channel is still in tact. The wedge from previous post (brown top and pink bottom) was broken, but support was found before what may be parallel channel (brown).
Now prices are near blue channel top, and price must go down at least to brown channel bottom ($956), but I dont think is good entry because the price may fall to blue channel bottom ($935).

Gold 1hHere we see the probable channel (brown).
There must be selling around $970 (even it was broken for a while).
