The price of Gold has been fairly firm these recent weeks, and rightly so given global goings-on. So it seems rather out-of-sorts to cite that Gold just put in its worst week of the last 13 (stretching all the back to that ending 08...
So how did January work out for ya? In a mere month the killer coronavirus has taken (at this writing) over 300 lives with sadly more in the offing given reports of some 14,000 folks being infected ... the global negative economic effect...
A mere week has passed since we penned "Gold Looking Lower Near-Term" such that we instead find its price +0.9% higher in settling yesterday at 1571, Friday's low-to-high run alone being +1.3%. That stated, must we nix our near-term notion...
To date in 2020, Gold has been up as much as 6.1% (to 1613) from last year's close (of 1520), the brief spike coming on "nuthin' but GEOPEEE, baby!", such universally-now-known "sell the news" axiom in turn finding Gold now up only 2.5%...

Our five most recent missives have been championing Gold to: 1) not only stay buoyed by the 1454-1434 "support shelf" as we've seen, but moreover 2) rise into year-end, typically as it has done in the prior three per the above Scoreboard.
History doesn't already repeat itself -- and traders who blindly expect it to so do (i.e. sans subjective review) are oft flushed down the loo -- but 'tis the season to be jolly. For in looking per the above Scoreboard at Gold's weekly...
Following Gold's fall from the 1500s back on 05 November, our missives these past several weeks have found us fairly bulled-up throughout. Trusting the 1454-1434 "support shelf" as a pricing base has thus far been Gold's saving grace.
