1200 ->1150 (March interim seasonal low) -> 1220 -1230 ->1100 (June seasonal low, brief as a lot of drawing lines on charts people have convinced themselves this is a magic number) - 1200 (Sept/July Aug), October (1275 start of seasonal bull for gold), Nov (1300), Dec/Jan(1350-1375 seasonal high)
And price prediction is just magic eight balling via gonad rubbing. E.g. one little war in the right place changes everything.
Full disclosure
I just bought some silver and gold for less than spot again. If you are sitting waiting for a magic spot price on gold before you buy - you are doing it wrong.

It's going in reverse!

Caput Lupinum said:Fair bit of volatility at the moment. There's swings in currencies, bonds and commodities. I think markets are getting a general sense that any rate hike won't happen until after June if there is one so it's putting pressure on the USD but not enough to see a dramatic rise in gold. If we get past the September FOMC and there is still no rate hike and Fed are still just talking up the idea of hiking then markets may call the Feds bluff.

.I still think seasonality is the no.1 stable recurrent metric in short and medium gold price movement. Gold is not unique in this as a commodity wheat is naturally even more seasonal. I was not surprised to see gold rally coming to the end of March. I expect it to wobble up to 1230-50 before plummeting in June 1100 (a little sky is falling when it looses a 100 bucks) and will recover to 1200+ and stay flat for June July September from there to 1300+ by year end..
That was my finest gonad rubbing.

By last Tuesday, large speculators made a wrong bet on FOMC meeting result by purchasing ~20,000 gold short contracts. Commercials took the opposite position of adding 25,000 gold long contracts.
Apparently, Commercials won the bet. And then there has been a short-squeezing going on. Gold might go back 1200+ but won't last long before another down attempt for 1,100 test.

If it hits 1100 in June it will be 1300+ by next January.
