What is the relation of Cyprus with Gold? So far I have seen it's relation with EU.
Also, how EU will be affected by Cyprus news can you explain a bit?
Thanks
Logic is simple - your money is not safe look for alternative, part of money likely to flow into precious metals. Also the uncertainty and volatility this will cause should be beneficial for gold. Another possibility is that people will panic, withdraw their cash and want to either spend it or invest it and it may cause an uptick in inflation due to increase in velocity of money which is also beneficial for gold (a bit of a long stretch at the moment though)

Thanks. So, Gold may act like Safe Haven for people from Cyprus now?
And what may be the short term effect on EU if they don't pass Bailout or Cyprus leave the EURO Zone?

Eu has to calm things down.
Votes will determine which way Cyprus will go. Delay will cause eu to drop. Any good news from eurizone then we go up

there was strong buying at 1602/03, looks like buyers get excited when price gets down close to 1600.

So here is an example. I don't know how it will play out buy I see buyers stepping in , although not very massively , around 1602 a scan be seen from spikes in volumes and green candle closes. The biggest volume candle was red but then followed by a green one with closely matched volume indicating that perhaps buyers are absorbing the sellers.

hi guys,

I was trading gold for 2 years. A lot of ppl been telling me that I should focus on buy for gold since buy is the major trend most of the time. So after the research I found this is not entirely true as last year gold drop from 1800 down up to this year.

Based of this research I as well backtest a strategy where I dont get much trades every month mainly average once a month. But what I like bout this strategy is very rare for losses probably after 8 to 10 trades will have one loss. Due to this I could SL 50% and TP 25%. SO this becomes a 2:1 risk reward ratio. So far for two years it has been quite well done with only 2 trades loss.

This is based on the break out strategy of the highest and lowest of yesterday with an indicator of 86 SMA to determine the trend.
