Re: Gold Technicals? I appreciate the commentary on this site (at least, those postings greater than two words!). Are there any technicians in the crowd? My trading tools are a small set of patterns (I live for the wedge!), 60-minute MACD, 9-bar EMA (multiple timeframes) for trend I.D., 20-bar EMA (5, 15, 45, 135-minute) for support/resistance. And the usual suspects (200-day SMA, oscillators, and the like). Two questions for this erudite group: 1. What technical tools work for gold, XAU, and gold stocks? Each market has it's idiosyncracies, what are gold's? The COMEX delivery cycle seems important, of course. 2. How excited ought I be about the downward wedge in the weekly COMEX chart (goes back to late 1999). This pattern is quite bullish.

<I am keying on the A$ & the SA rand> Interesting post, russwinter. Could you walk me through the forex effect again? Am I right in inferring that if these currencies rise against the dollar, there will be less hedging and hence the POG would rise? I thought that because of their increased costs (measured against US$ denominated revenue) hedging would become more necessary not less.
