FX_IDC:XAUUSD   Gold Spot / U.S. Dollar
Technically: Strong
Gold looking good on most time frames (D/W/M).
Nearing previous mid-term resistance at 1747.74.
Broke yesterday out of a high symmetrical, ascending triangle.

Fundamentally: Strong
USD at a high, momentarily holding back dollar-denominated assets.
QE and rates down should weigh on dollar over the next few quarters.
Futures already pricing negative rates in the US…

Trading action: Buy
Long gold for the medium/long term.
Stop loss at the 1640 support, slightly < SMA50.
Staggered entry means position size increase > 1750.
For added kick, buy gold miners which will bring you a leveraged play on the commodity.
