Reversal alert

Last week, gold prices continued moving up from the “double bottom” formation that signaled a coming reversal. A “weaker right shoulder” is now forming that could be the last downward push before the gold trend turns up.  Prices closed the week at $1,644.80 per ounce.

The good news is the confirmation of this gold price reversal that we were looking for was a breakdown in the U.S. dollar, which has just happened.

This trend reversal in gold prices is now set with the breaking of the “weaker right shoulder” formation. Such a reversal after a three-month downtrend could be the start of a move up to the high set in August, or even extending further to the all-time high set previously this year. Investors may want to be ready to add gold to their portfolios if this buying opportunity happens.
