When you look at the gold market, you see, you got all the way up here and on a monthly close. We're looking at weekly charts, this is a new high close. That's powerful, you're up 6%. So far for the month, that's only two weeks gone in this month. So far on a weekly basis: Gold added another 1.3 percent, not the stellar peak you hit today. Gold got up to $2429 and then gave that up, but forget that. The trend is up still – there's nothing here that isn't up higher lows, higher highs. It's well over the 18-week average of closes, which by the way, is moving to the tune each week of about $20.
So let's call it $20 because it's another up week. It'll be $18 to $20 at least on the moving average but that's still going to be well under the last break low...

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.
