Gold set a new record high last week and appears strong over night in Asian Market trading.  As the dollar is showing weakness of late, main markets holding strong and moving up, I expect Barrick Gold Corporation (NYSE:ABX) to possibly see some strength heading into this week.

Even though this stock has struggled a bit of late, it has been basing higher and is still near its 52 week high of $48.02 achieved back on 12/02/09.  I think this recent pullback was a nice buying opportunity.  I think this stock should stay over the $45.20 area this week, and I would be bearish if it broke this line.  This stock should test higher this week.  Looking at the chart we can see rising 20, 50, and 200 day moving averages, which is bullish.  The 5 is also crossing above the 20 day moving average line, which is also considered bullish.  The MACD line is also, as show, is attempting to bullish cross as well.  Stochastic are also showing an already achieved bullish crossover on that indicator. 

Last week I mentioned it might be a good time to buy Motorola Inc. (NYSE:MOT) and that it could hit around $8.40 a share.  Last week Motorola began the week at $7.92 and ended the week at $8.38,going as high as $8.49.9.  From close on Friday to close on Friday was a gain of around 5%.  Not a bad trade especially considering an even higher sell was available.

Gold Breakout Comes Early (NYSE:GLD, NYSE:AUY, NYSE:GDX, NYSE:ABX)

SPDR Gold Shares (NYSE:GLD) in the last two trading days had climbed almost 3%, to $118.27 (this reflects a spot price equivalent of around $1,182.70 an ounce) at close on Friday.  Fears of a European financial meltdown brought on by weakness with their smaller members such as Greece, Spain, and Portugal combined with a falling stock market, drove buyers into gold last week.  Even after the GLD closed trading, a late day surge saw spot gold go from around 1,180 dollars an ounce to a near record high of 1,208 dollars an ounce, at the time New York COMEX ceased trading on Friday.

Last month I wrote an article predicting a sizeable breakout in gold to happen around the 20th of May.  It seems the gold breakout came early on Greece news, creating fear buying.  On my Chart 1, I showed the coming together of two long term trend lines around the 20th of May.  As you can see from the circled breakout from early September on Chart 1, that move also had an early breakout, so this should not be surprising, as May 20th was more of a deadline for this move, rather than a prediction on the exact day of its occurrence.  A strong qualification of a valid resistance break is that it occurs on high volume.  As indicated on Chart 2 this break does indeed have higher than usual volume.

Bottom in for Gold

Spot Gold has climbed steadily since 22 December 2009 low of $1075/oz. Gold had declined about $150 since the early December peak at $1225/oz. The decline was due to fear of Dubai debt and profit taking as a correction was due. As mentioned in my previous article, Abu Dhabi stepped into rescue and provided Dubai with a huge $10 bln bailout.

Now moving over to Gold’s technical outlook, little has changed since my last update. My buy zone of 1100-1125 was very decent considering the bottom being $25 away. So now what is the big questionon everyones mind? It is obviously confusing if we look at technical patterns and compare it with seasonal patterns. Technically the current pattern is supposed to be bearish – A sharp dip followed by a fake rally with another down move.

However, seasonal patterns show us the complete opposite. Historically the month of January has been a very sideways month for Gold with February and March being extremely bullish. Considering this pattern to occur again Gold could easily surpass $1200 and challenge $1300 by March.

The seasonal pattern has the bias over technical pattern because fundamentals are more stronger than technicals. Also, after the great performance of Gold last year and gaining popularity as the next bull market, there would be many huge portfolios being adjusted with more weight given to Gold.

Looking at the Chart now, Wave IV met its end at $1075 on 22 December last year. We are now in the early stages of wave V and the rally should be accelerating next week or early February. Those who are in buy from my suggested buy zone should move their stops to 1100 since any move below 1100 could open up the way to the previous all time high of 1030. Another interesting fact here is that the length of wave A) is equal to wave C) which increases the confidence in this count.

Summing up, Gold is bullish above 1100 and we are in the early stages of a massive Wave V. Moving above 1180 would certainly bring momentum back in this market and Gold will shine yet again.
