Now, what's been behind everything is the drop in the dollar. The drop in the dollar is probably in part, responsible for the stock market rally. Certainly, for the support, the goal of seeing in the $1960s. Silver hasn't yet come alive. The copper market got good news this morning, out of China...
When we take a look at the gold market, we can see how it stayed over the 18-week moving average of closes, keeping the bias to the upside. When we look at the daily action, the market's gone into something of a trading range. The pattern has been one of lower highs and lower lows, which would change if the market were to get over the $1996.40 area.

Ira began in the futures markets in 1969. Over the years he worked his way up, starting from the ground up as a "floor runner" culminating with his becoming a Floor Trader. In the mid 1970s Ira decided to make a career shift within the industry to develop both retail and commercial based clientele. His customer base grew to the point whereby in 1984 he founded "Ira Epstein & Company", a trading firm specializing in retail, commercial and self-directed discount futures trading. Along the way Ira became a leader in trading technology out of necessity, due to increased small lot trade volume. He was among the first to embrace the Internet, which as you know has dramatically changed both the way information is delivered and how trading takes place today.
One of the ways Ira, along with his brokers showcase their talents is through e-mails of market information and Ira's "Futures Videos", which can be viewed on our website, through Market Center, Linn-IraChart Software and on YouTube.
