How do you deny that the gold market's on a tear? It's up 3.63%, $80 for the week as I said it began a vertical run and once it began if you weren't in and positioned, you missed this swing of the play. No getting away from that.
You're over key moving averages. You're one, two, three, four days in a row over the upper [Bollinger] Band. As I pointed out, once you get going like this, five's typically the amount but you're up so much that you know, [it] takes a lot to even get under that lower Bollinger Band. But I expect it to happen and you're remaining overbought basically.
So you've carried a market that's overbought. It has to prove it can embed – embedding gives you a more sustained move than these vertical moves without it doesn't mean that you can't move both ways.

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.
