Gold Futures

Gold futures in New York this week were slightly higher settling at 1,288 after rallying $20 in yesterday’s trade as renewed optimism about the Federal Reserve continuing its quantitative easing for years to come pushing prices sharply higher after hitting a 5 week low down at 1,260 earlier in the week still continuing its downtrend in my opinion. The next major support is at 1,251 and if that level is broken you would have to think that prices will go down & retest the June lows of 1,180 but this market has been resilient when it looks its worst it has a tremendous rally & when it looks really good it has a tremendous sell off so at this point I would advise sitting on the sidelines and wait for a breakout to occur below 1,251 before entering to the downside as demand has hit a 4 year low as investors continue to pour money into the stock market and continues to sell gold and the precious metals and that is why you see the divergence between the S&P 500 and gold prices. Gold is trading far below its 20 and 100 day moving average which tells you that the trend in the short term is lower but this market has been very choppy for quite some time so look at some other commodities like the S&P 500 because a trendy market is much easier to make money then a choppy market.
TREND: LOWER
CHART STRUCTURE: EXCELLENT

Exxon Mobil - The Surprising Big Chart Picture

While viewing my energy portfolio this morning, I stopped and looked at the chart for Exxon Mobile (NYSE:XOM). I immediately noticed major resistance coming in at the $95 level. Can Exxon break through this major resistance level and take off to the upside?

If I measure from the resistance at $95 all the way down to the low in July of 2010, the difference is around $35. If I then add $35 to the breakout point, it takes us to my target zone of $130 per share for Exxon. Now remember, the market must move over the $95 level for this to happen.

Let's take a look at what we can see on the chart. Continue reading "Exxon Mobil - The Surprising Big Chart Picture"
