See on the daily bar chart for June gold futures that prices are in a fledgling uptrend from the March low, after having penetrated on the upside and negated a steep downtrend line drawn from the March contract and all-time high. See, too, that the shorter-term moving averages I follow (9- and 18-day) have just produced a bullish line crossover signal, whereby the 9-day crossed above the 18-day moving average. See on the daily bar chart for June gold that the previous two bullish moving average line crossover signals did see prices rally sharply shortly after those signals were produced. Importantly, gold is benefiting this week from a weaker U.S. dollar versus the other major currencies. More weakness in the greenback will continue to provide upside fuel for the gold market bulls. Any sustained recovery in the value of the U.S. dollar would very likely find gold futures prices on the defensive. See the key technical support and resistance levels on the chart.
Jim has an EXCELLENT daily newsletter where he reviews different markets, alerts you for potential trades and much more. Included is his great bi-weekly newsletter with charts and a little longer term outlook. We recommend checking out his website, educational CDROM, and services at JimWyckoff.com
by Jonathan Day, Senior Broker with Cannon Trading Co., Inc.
Trading with support and resistance numbers takes patience, but it can provide valuable assistance in making your trading decisions.
In this article, Senior Broker Jonathan Day will walk you through three steps that can help you harness the full potential of these common but often underutilized numbers.
Using a chart of the 30-year June 2008 Bond (ZBM8), Jonathan will show you how to identify pivots and trends and help you see how professional traders view support and resistance numbers and attempt to profit regularly from them.
As with all trading, you should always have a gameplan in mind to manage your risk threshold and profit potential for each trade you execute.
