This type of trading range, as it squeezes tighter, has to break out one direction or the other.
I think gold has to break up, but I have said that before and gotten creamed in massive sell offs in the last five years.
The other markets don't seem to be helping much anymore as the manipulation by bullion banks, PPT, and guv'mint in general are moving these markets. One day soon they won't be able to suppress gold anymore and will all end up in jail or hanging from the cherry trees in D.C.
