Gold Report, 4/3/2010



The situation with Gold could be hotting up. So I thought it opportune to update you on the GOLD ETF traded on the Australian Stock Market.

The first chart is a relative strength chart of Gold:XAO. (This is Gold in Ozzie Dollars – investable through the ETF Gold on the Australian Stock Exchange.) For several days Gold has been traveling between the key 55-Day Moving Average and the down trend line from May09. The chart is also showing very little volatility – usually a sign that a big move is coming.

The Gold ETF (second chart) has basically been traveling sideways and this consolidation is now in a clear symmetrical triangle pattern. This can break either way. It is, however, close to a break upwards.

The third chart is a short term chart showing Gold with technical analysis indicators. The stock is above the 150-Day SMA; the MACD is above the Zero line.

The following are all positives for Gold:

  • · A break above the 55-Day MA on the Gold/XAO ratio chart,
  • · A move by the MACD above the Zero line,
  • · Williams %R above its mid-line,
  • · RSI above its mid-line.


All I need now is a break above that symmetrical triangle. (This would also constitute a “sell” signal for the XAO.)

Remember – anything can happen in the stock market. Two of my guiding principles are:

  • Let your winners run.
  • Cut losers quickly.
