Gold is in the second phase of a Bump-and-Run Reversal Top pattern, which typically occurs when excessive speculation drives prices up steeply, and is now at a critical juncture where substantially lower prices could be realized. Let me explain.
So says Nu Yu (fx5186.wordpress.com) in an article which Lorimer Wilson, editor of MunKNEE.com, has reformatted and edited [...] below for the sake of clarity and brevity to ensure a fast and easy read.
Dr. Yu goes on to say:
According to Thomas Bulkowski, the Bump-and-Run Reversal Top pattern (read here for details) consists of three main phases:
A lead-in phase in which a lead-in trend line connecting the lows has a slope angle of about 30 degrees. Prices move in an orderly manner and the range of price oscillation defines the lead-in height between the lead-in trend line and the warning line which is parallel to the lead-in trend line.
A bump phase where, after prices cross above the warning line, excessive speculation kicks in and the bump phase starts with fast rising prices following a sharp trend line slope with 45 degrees or more until prices reach a bump height with at least twice the lead-in height. Once the second parallel line gets crossed over, it serves as a sell line.
A run phase in which prices break support from the lead-in trend line in a downhill run.
As the chart above shows the price of gold has breached the Sell Line at $1,830 so we can expect to see a big sell-off with downside price targets for support as follows:
