add to present gold positions at this time?"
My coment - I
could justify leveraging up on my gold (weekly
& daily) position now that it has
reached a new high for the year, reaffirming the overall upward trend. However,
in bull markets I prefer to buy gold and other investments or trades following
setbacks towards their rising 200-day moving averages within those trends, as
I did when purchasing a position in the April contract at $1338 on the 1st of
February.
Gold has now risen for five consecutive weeks to reach a new high, so it is
temporarily a little overbought. I would prefer to see a brief consolidation
of those gains near or a little above the previous highs, using that pause or
an additional upward break following it, to increase the position. However,
gold may not pause because it has a big following and some of those people will
have reduced positions during the mean reversion correction. If they pile back
in, bullion could move steadily higher, as we have seen following some previous
breakouts.
