Gold Trying To Break Out

After Wednesday's ugly trade,gold spiked on Thursday, testing the $1,240 level once again. Although goldbroke down through $1,220, trading as low as $1,215, it immediately bouncedback to the $1,240 resistance level.

Gold looks poised to make a bigup move and push through $1,240 resistance sooner rather than later. Gold'srally may have been sparked by the weaker dollar; however, gold has beengaining strength with the stronger dollar.

Our expectations are for gold tobreak out to the upside and test the $1,275 level. Gold can churn here whilebuilding a solid base. The $1,220-$1,230 levels should hold as support, andit's only a matter of time until gold pushes through $1,240 on its way to $1,275.
