Introduction - As anticipated overnight, bulls didn't put enough fight in at 2365 and ferocious bears took out the 43-year trend line. While it's not even obvious they are finished yet - because Binary Forecasting Service's trend engine still see 2323-27 as possible Monday targets before rebounding - I have strong conviction that gold is getting ready to nowhere again. Complete mean reversion may take 50-60 hours, but I have little doubt that price will retrace into "THE BOX" and tag 2382 by sometime this Wednesday. This box, that I adjusted to 2355-2400 limits on Saturday, will continue to trap price to AND THROUGH May 1st FOMC. At time of publishing, this analyst thinks maybe even May 2nd and May 3rd.
Details - Continuing from DRAFT 9-2, gold ignored "consensus expectations to hold gray line". Absent more missile attacks between Israel/Iran, bears took this opportunity to push price under 43-year trend line. With price at 2335.xx at 11:53 AM as I type, bears have little to nothing left in the tank. In last notes of 9-2, I stated that bulls should tag 2367 before NY AFTERMARKET CLOSE (5 hours from now). This is still base case RIGHT NOW but I may have to update this view within the next hour.
Warning - This is a "continuously updating" forecast for FX:IDC/ICE XAUUSD spot gold ticker, limited only by the time I have to continuously update it. In my humbled opinion, price action acts like a girl you are dating that is three marks above your pay grade. She's just too good looking for you and knowing that demands all your time and attention. It's been well said that vanity is a deception that few heroes can avoid. Should you make the mistake of doing something else with your life, you'll find her doing nasty things behind your back and stab you in the back while she's doing it. The moral to the story is, should you find price action moving 0.2% in the opposite direction of the continuous forecast, don't be a victim, trade defensively, EXIT FIRST AND ASK QUESTIONS LATER. At least in trading, stops are easy to make, so be aware!
