Thread: April 16 gold price

  1. #1
    In early trading for April 16, gold prices have moved back up to near $1380 an ounce. While the liquidation of gold will continue it is not unreasonable to think that the sell-off of Friday and Monday were "overdone" and now gold will have a bounce before selling will resume.

    There will be some optimists who will try to do some bargain basement shopping, but we won't know for several weeks if indeed $1340 an ounce was the basement for gold.

    Further declines are still possible. But so is a bounce back to $1400 or even higher in the next few days. This might be called a dead cat bounce. The expression comes from the horrid thought that if a cat fell from the top of a skyscraper it would bounce after hitting the sidewalk. (Sorry if that offends anybody.)

    I would approach the market with caution. I also wouldn't do any buying, and if you thought about selling, I would sell on any short term rally because those rally's might turn out to be a false or fake-out rally or a suckers rally.

    That is an excellent analogy. And when you have this type of volatility there is an opportunity fast trading profits, but also the danger of quick losses.
