Yesterday gold was anticipating a stronger policy response coming out of the upcoming meeting in Brussels dealing with the sovereign debt crisis in the Eurozone. That brought buying back into a host of markets as well with equities rallying and the risk trades back on in full force. Today? Well, that was yesterday.
Once current ECB President Draghi basically squashed the idea of large bond purchases by the ECB, the market promptly threw away everything it put on yesterday totally reversing the risk trades as disappointment that the liquidity punch bowl was not going to be spiked as strongly as most were expecting took hold.
This madness will continue as long as uncertainty remains with traders seizing on every single bit of news to cram gobs of money into the markets or yank those same gobs back out again.
At some point it will resolve itself one way or the other but until it does, up and down is the order of the day. Perhaps something will come out of that meeting in Brussels tomorrow but who knows at this point.
As it now stands, gold remains mired in its coiling pattern. Notice how the downtrending upper resistance line is holding rallies in check.
