We are in the first week of September and the bullish seasonal trend seems to be continuing with Gold. Even through Friday was a down day, the price is still above the last break low of $1232.40. Slow Stochastics are still 'embedded' or 'locked in', pullbacks in Gold can present a buying opportunity. Gold's all time high was produced on June 21st at $1266.50 and at it's current price, it is only 16.70 away from reaching that level. With this trend continuing, Gold should have a new high produced within the near future.
Above is a chart of last years (2009) bull run from Sept 2nd $952 to Dec 2nd $1217. It is speculated that fund managers want to lock in their profits and sold their Gold related assets in December. Why? Because they publish their profit percentage the next year and want to show maximum profits for their fund. Will it happen again this year? Nothing is certain except for death and taxes, but on every pullback since 2002, Gold has come back and has reached new highs.
