Gold price tries again to break through $1,360 resistance

Image
Mama Yellen spake to the Senate Banking Committee, and her remarks are the reason cited by the media for stocks rise today. As usual, I couldn't tease anything so optimistic out of her remarks, but observed she has adopted the Greenspan Technique of saying nothing in a lot of words. But if stocks were willing to rise on a speech like that, they were rising anyway. Coming week probably put the cap on gold prices for a little while. Stocks are laboring to rise, but not convincingly. Of course, I might have it all wrong and this might prove no more than a short breath-catcher before the gold price tries again to break through $1,360 resistance.

Gold Chart - Stochastic indicator that is flashing a warning

The Gold Price very nearly broke upward through its since-August-2013 downtrend line this week, the chart shows a double bottom, other indicators are floating upward, and it has broken through its 20 week moving average. The daily chart is just too beautiful to miss. Look here, The gold price hath climbed straight up from an upside-down head and shoulders up through the neckline, broken through old resistance from $1,290 - $1,300, and today closed above its 200 DMA for the first time since February a year ago. Only problem with this picture is that it can leave us so giddy that we overlook that stochastic indicator that is flashing a warning. I don't think this rally has ended, but around $1,350 - $1,360 it will likely begin losing altitude. This rally has run since 31 December 2013.
