I have a long bias on this precious metal. I have open positions @ 1305 and 1315. If this breaks below 1330 this week (break of IB), it may go down to base at 1299 - 1302 as the last kiss goodbye and fly off from there.

Trade with care

Comment:
Been getting a lot of private messages whether to short Gold. The idea is not to short Gold from this AB=CD model (at the start of the C Leg). Just like any harmonic patterns, confirm entries at the completion of pattern.

Gold is in a tight squeeze at the moment as highlighted in the grey box of the chart. It is also in a bull flag pattern. Breaks out north, will be a great rally and I will add upon confirmation on lower TF. Breaks down south, will be a slow movement.

PS. Still holding on to my 1305 and 1315 long positions - from previous published chart

Apologise to those who wanted to short, but have warned them against in doing so. Gold was in a triangle and a day of rally can be fast and swift. Since I have 3 long positions, I had to hedge to minimise losses. Now Gold has broken 1300 with a "Big Shadow", would be hard to recover from here. All in all, profits are intact and closing this trade now @ 1271.61
