In the gold, you've been selling off – you're down 0.7% at this point. For the month, you're down about $18, you can see the market is just sort of hanging in here on a weekly basis not doing an awful lot. You can see the prices are stable. I think that's the best way you can say it. Getting back through that, high will be a difficult task in the near term. I don't see anything to do it.
I see a higher, high lower low scenario, there's nothing there that would excite me, but look, where the market is stopped. It has stopped at the 18-day average of closes. Should it break a lot from here? Well, I think reaching for $2189 would be a dream, I don't think that would happen.
Maybe you could get down to the lower Bollinger Band of $2530.

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.
