As you can see, you've got a mixed bag on the reopening of the market and the stocks.
When I look at the gold market, I have to think to myself. I was listening to Loretta Mester today (the Cleveland Fed President), she was on a CNBC interview with Steve Liesman, and she had it right, you know, inflation is still sticky, it's not collapsing.
The Fed has a ways to go as well, with falling interest rates and a lower US dollar. Isn't that the world for gold? It just might be that that could be the things that make gold look good. As long as it stays over $1933.5.
I started looking at the chart action and I can tell you the ETF chart looks a lot better than the futures, but in looking at what you have right here, you have a market that's still lower highs and lower lows - that's still a bearish configuration.

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.
