 Here we go again. As gold reached new highs yet again this week we must ask again, “Has Gold finally topped out?”. After reaching a new high yesterday of $1153.90, the precious metal has pulled back some, albeit slightly so far. The last few days have basically been in a sideways trading channel but prior to this, has been on such an optimistic rise that sooner or later a decline will ensue. Right? If you took a look at a gold chart without knowing it was gold, it would look similar to previous market tops that were followed by a crash. Take a look at a housing price index chart, the 1999-200 Tech Bubble, the recent financial bubble or even an Oil chart when it was at $140.00 not too long ago. I know what others are saying, that as long as the U.S. Fed keeps printing money, the value of the U.S. dollar will keep going down and people will continue to buy Gold. That may be, but I’m adding this post for those of you thinking things may just be getting to overly optimistic right now in Gold. Just imagine looking at charts in a few months only to see that the U.S Dollar made a major bottom which just happened to coincide with a major S&P 500, DJIA and NASDAQ top, and Gold and other commodities made major tops as well. I wonder what all those Meredith Whitney bashers would say then? Probably nothing at all. You wouldn’t hear a word from them then.

Here’s a chart to look over: 
Looking at the chart of DZZ above, you can see several observations I noted: 1) the RSI above the main cahrt area has been oversold for about a week now and appears to be turning up. 2) The MACD on the bottom of the chart is in the perfect position to begin a reversal move higher. 3) The share price itself has dropped below the recent confining channel and has the potential to move back into this channel up towards the 50 day MA as it has on prior moves off the lower channel trend line. What made me take a look at a potential trade to profit from a decline in Gold was that earlier this week Bob Pisani was shown on CNBC with a single Gold Bar that I believe was mentioned to be worth about $450,000. When something like this appears on mainstream television my friends, the end is quite possibly in sight. This is not always the case though. The last time I mentioned I was concerned about any further upside in Gold was when I read that Gold was appearing in Vending Machines in Europe. That was back in June and we had a trade-able decline following that, but then Gold resumed its ascent. At the least, some sort of pullback may be in the cards near term.
