Heading into the debt ceiling disaster and fiscal drama, the treasury almost out of cash, the stock market at all time highs, and more military and at home spending (ironically) there will be plenty of momentum to move gold up. I do NOT believe the market is headed for a crash at this moment but a nice correction should propel gold up. Add to that the technicals here and we're looking pretty good. Consolidation about to break a major downtrend resistence, a 100 dma about to cross the 200 dma, and a reverse head and shoulders to boot. This is going to be a pass or fail event for the short to medium term. Either way will be longer term bullish on gold; any severe breakdown would be an excellent time to begin to aggressively accumulate.
