More importantly, we should see the potential for long term Gold and equity market trend changes as symbiotic. Equity market weakness and Gold relative strength are inextricably linked.

It has been a nice run of late for gold here in the latter part of this Daily Cycle. Gold has closed above the 10 day moving average for 13 straight sessions, which is the type of bullish, Right Translated Cycle behavior we’ve been longing for.
