Since the December 2009 highs, it has been my view from a technical standpoint that the long-term bull market in gold was not over. This was in part due to the confirmation of the highs by the long-term OBV analysis, and in late April, the new highs in the daily OBV suggested a sharper rally. In our January Trading Lesson, I commented that “We now have targets at $1252 and $1262 with additional targets at $1352-$1362”. The chart looks bullish, so this is more likely the start—not the end—of the rally phase.
