Most analysts and investors spend time debating about this or that "fundamental," which did (or maybe didn't) push the price of gold higher (or lower). But there is a more objective way to analyze precious metals: technical analysis.
Editor of EWI's intensive Metals Specialty Service Mike Drakulich employs Elliott waves -- which rely on a defined, objective set of rules and guidelines -- as well as other technical indicators.
One of them is trendlines.
Trending markets tend to stay within trend channels. There is no "fundamental" explanation for it, but it is a fact. Moreover, when the price touches the lower or upper line of the trend channel, it tends to reverse.
Which brings us to gold. In his latest Metals Specialty Service daily forecast, Mike Drakulich shows subscribers this gold chart:
Notice that when gold touched the upper trendline on at least the previous two occasions, prices reversed. Will it happen again?
