The gold trade I’ve been discussing with you for quite some time is broken.  Gold lost the $1288 price level falling 2+% today and is now clinging to $1661 support.   You may be asking why don’t we hold on to shares of GLD or the delta 70 calls that may have 40+ days left to expiry.  We could wait for a bounce and then sell, but ask yourself this simple question.  Which door is open most at the moment in gold?  Is the door to higher prices open or lower prices open the widest. Lower prices win the day for the moment.

What’s Next?

This $1261 price level is key.  If $1261 can’t hold then $1250, $1235 and $1218 are in the cards.  Will we get a bounce?  We’ll most likely bounce at some point, but when is the huge question.  I’ve found that my first opportunity to sell and take a small loss is usually my best opportunity.  Remember, we can always revisit this idea when prices firm up.
