Intraday 1:30pm
It is good that gold is finally breaking high, makes the heart ticks up a beat, but depends on the close again. Note that the threads have a few space up hill before reaching peak. and by then, we have to see how momentum goes (closing above 50 is key). Since the daily wind is blowing up, it s good to buy at a dip, but not too deep for it might slips off a cliff.
This 9am move (when asia opened) is lucky for gold, as most went almost crashing. In one hit, $5 flush changed the game. Data coming out of Japan (GDP) and China (Trade Balance) might have been the spurts, but who knows.
1242 should not be touched, if gold wants to maintain current momentum. It is in overbought and divergence condition. But then again, for it to valid, it must break 1242. hourly candle close below 1247.5 should give a premature warning. we have to note gold is trading at upper range, with 1251.8 guarding the fence.
