HEADER - It's 1840.55 as I type this and 12:03 PM on the east coast. Gold really needs a strong close to keep this realistic. Final draft because gold is running out of time to make a new May high. I'm running out to time to prove this process worthwhile to some important people, and they don't seem to be too interested. Sigh... May 25th is FOMC minutes, May 30th is new moon, June 1st is ADP and June 3rd is NFP.
SUMMARY - So 250 pts in the next 6 trading days. Is it realistic? I have many doubts, too. Like they say in the south, you gotta dance with the one who brung ya. This move doesn't show up in the volume of any of the multiple spot ticker with the exception of IDC's XAUUSD ticker where it is just a maybe. It doesn't show up in GLD or GC1! (gold futures). It's not realistic from a trading point of view. It shows up only in IRL price mapping with cross proofing, which is pretty much the core of my methodology. What it does do is keep the gold bull market in rally position for the foresee-able future. That is to say that the other option would be back down to 1720. Price regressions say that that going there would be problematic for "gold bull thesis" in general that a minimum of 6 months of sideways would follow before anything else interesting would happen. Is there an in-betweener? The current position of all the waves put together has only produced 2 scenarios as far as I have seen. For the record, I've been told I needed to see more.
DETAILS - Links to 20H drafts 1-2-3-4 are below. This should really be called 20H DRAFT 2 UPDATE, bc it' using the same 5 sets that DRAFT 2 used.
NOTES -
1. the blue arrow is FED minutes release after noon on Wed 5/25
2. the black arrow is where the folowing 100 point move down should stop
3. the two bold lines at the bottom is where the current down-trend-line meets the current up-trend-line
4. so obviously it is an inflection point
5. the bold line at the top is last down-trend-line resistance
