Gold Gaps Up Into Weekend: Biggest Weekly Gain Since July 2006

Woh.

But… Hmm. Thin holiday volume…

Decent chance for an ascending triangle long play setting up on the daily interval… or is it a short squeeze??? We’re range bound again, roughly between $772 and $845. The weekly stochastic oscillator is still perilously high (mid 80s), from a long perspective. It’s going to take a serious grunt to break above $845.

Ahh, feels good not to be trading this.

Via: Bloomberg:

Gold jumped 3.3 percent, capping the biggest weekly gain since July 2006, as the dollar’s decline to a record against the euro and climbing energy costs sparked demand for the metal as a hedge against inflation.

The price of gold has surged 29 percent this year, and the dollar is down 10 percent to the lowest ever against a basket of six currencies, including the euro and the yen. Crude oil closed above $98 a barrel, and heating oil climbed to a record.
