Goldhas been struggling formonths. Every rally attempt was met by sellers who unmercifully sold. Whenmarkets trend lower, there is always the hope of a dead-cat bounce as traderstry to figure where it will bounce from. Gold has failed at every post and thedead-cat bounce attempts failed.
Here we are once again at apivotal spot for gold and we are seeing a bounce, but can it hold? There is onething we know about markets -- they never announce themselves and trend changescan happen at any time. As traders and investors, all we can do is watch themarket footprint and look for entries and exits.
For gold, the trend is lower andugly. There appears to be more work to do on the downside. Our target remains$1,180 but our expectations of a dead-cat bounce are getting higher. Marketsare about probabilities; today they favor a bounce in gold. There is still roomon the downside but a bounce from here would be no surprise. Traders shouldlook to take advantage of this move, while investors should be patient whileobserving.
