Meanwhile, our downtrend line is gradually converging with our 2nd tire uptrend line, implying gold may wake from its consolidative slumber soon.  Fortunately for bulls, gold continues to set higher lows while hinting at a topside preference by continually resisting a noteworthy retreat below the highly psychological $1050\/oz level.  All eyes remain on the Dollar, particularly the Euro and Aussie crosses.  Gold has seemed to follow the EUR\/USD and AUD\/USD more closely than the GBP\/USD and USD\/JPY due to the erratic behaviors of the BoE and BoJ, respectively.  Therefore, investors should eye the EUR\/USD\u2019s ability to move higher and create some space between present price and the currency pair\u2019s psychological 1.50 level.  We notice a similar consolidative pattern in the AUD\/USD, so investors should watch to see if the currency pair can break above its own October highs.  A breakout in either major cross could result in a similar movement in gold.<\/p>\n<p>Meanwhile, the S&amp;P futures are in a topside battle of their own.  The S&amp;P has had a lot of trouble breaking through its psychological 1100 level.  A large movement above 1100 in the S&amp;P would likely come with a broad-based depreciation of the Dollar, thereby pushing gold higher due to correlative forces.  As a result, investors should pay attention to the S&amp;P\u2019s reaction to upcoming Q3 earnings reports and econ data releases, most notably tomorrow\u2019s CB and HPI data along with Wednesday\u2019s Advance GDP and Durable Goods numbers.  That being said, the presence of key econ and earnings releases among key psychological levels across the board presents the opportunity for high volatility should results steam in either highly positive or negative.<\/p>\n<p>In terms of technicals, the topside barriers remain our makeshift downtrend line along with previous 2009 highs and the psychological $1075\/oz and $1100\/oz levels.  As for the downside, the psychological $1050\/oz level continues to serve as an important technical cushion along with our 1st and 2nd tier uptrend lines.<\/p>\n<p>Present Price: $1058.50\/oz<\/p>\n<p>Resistances: $1058.75\/oz, $1061.40\/oz, $1065.15\/oz, $1068.06\/oz, $1070.66\/oz<\/p>\n<p>Supports: $1055.46\/oz, $1051.91\/oz, $1048.62\/oz, $1045.32\/oz, $1042.96\/oz<\/p>\n<p>Psychological: $1050\/oz, $1075\/oz, $1100\/oz<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/fastbrokers.net\/news\/image\/oct26gold.gif\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone\" src=\"http:\/\/fastbrokers.net\/news\/image\/oct26gold.gif\" alt=\"\" width=\"595\" height=\"328\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: Verdana,Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: 11px; line-height: 18px;\"> <\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"border-width: 0px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px 0px 15px; text-align: left; font-size: 12px; line-height: 18px;\"><em style=\"border-width: 0px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;\"><strong style=\"border-width: 0px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;\">Market Commentary<\/strong><\/em><span> <\/span>provided by<span> <\/span><a style=\"border-width: 0px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; color: #000000; text-decoration: none;\" href=\"http:\/\/www.fastbrokers.com\/index.php?CP001\" target=\"_blank\"><span style=\"border-width: 0px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; text-decoration: underline;\"><span style=\"border-width: 0px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; text-decoration: underline;\"><strong style=\"border-width: 0px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;\">Fast Brokers<\/strong><\/span><\/span>.<\/a><\/p>\n<p style=\"border-width: 0px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px 0px 15px; text-align: left; font-size: 12px; line-height: 18px;\"><strong style=\"border-width: 0px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;\">Disclaimer:<\/strong><span> <\/span>FastBrokers\u2019 market commentary is provided for information purposes only and under no circumstances should be regardedneither as an investment advice nor as a solicitation or an offer to sell\/buy any financial product.
