The gold market continues to see a lot of upward pressure, as we continue to build a bullish flag. This flag could kick off a bigger move over the longer term, and short term pullbacks will continue to be buying opportunities.
The Gold market has rallied quite nicely during the early hours on Tuesday, as we continue to threaten the top of the bullish flag that we have been forming. If we can break above the $2,933 level, then I think there’s a real shot that gold takes off towards the $3,000 level. I don’t have any interest in shorting this market even if we do pull back because quite frankly, there are far too many reasons for gold to pull back for a longer term move. In fact, all of the fundamental reasons are still there. There are concerns about tariff wars.
There are concerns about geopolitical conflict. There are concerns about recession. With all of that being said, and the fact that the US dollar has been shrinking, it does make a certain amount of sense that gold continues to see some interest. If we can break above the $2,933 level, then 3,000 gets targeted, and then eventually we see gold really take off, perhaps even aiming for the measured move from the bullish flag, which suggests $3,300.
While I don’t think that happens easily, I do think that happens. So, I anticipate a lot of buy on the dip behavior every time we drop. And I am very bullish on gold from the medium term standpoint. Short term, it’s probably volatile and choppy, but anytime we drop, you have to be thinking along the lines of getting a little bit of a bargain.
