Previously in my Gold update of the 18 October I assumed a rule break the spike low, and incorrectly scaled a pivot!! Also I have found yearly pivots 0, 1 and 2 which confirms that last Septembers high is Q3.

The recent action has highlighted that the user is wrong - me, and this was not a rule break and the revised count is shown below based on the MAP Wave Analysis rules!

Essentially we need another high a minimum of 1795.84 and maximum 1802.92 before gold can continue forming a base for when confidence in the governments ability to deal with the sovereign debt crisis reaches its tipping point (pivot) Q5 on Y3. The timing is pointing to as early as next year to as late as March 2015.

My previous user rule break assumption from last report.

I am changing yet again the report format so that you can see the wave formation on the wave scales that I use so starting with yearly pivots.

We clearly have not had a a bubble finish yet! You will also see the incorrectly scaled pivots which give the final target area of Q4.

On a monthly pivot scale.

You can see the final "bubble top" of wave 5 following the yearly ML test, retest break and support followed by the monthly MLU test, retest and support before breaking clear to the yearly MLU!

On a weekly pivot scale

Here you can again see the test, and retest of the Q123ML, which will be followed by the break and retest, all of which is typical price behaviour around these cycle forks!

Zooming in on the daily pivot scale

As I stated in the introduction, we need to complete M-4. The window is tight and to stay within MAP Wave Analysis rules this means a final high between 1795.84 and 1802.92, before the break of the M123ML can succeed. This is projected to occur in December, and once D3 is in then a better time frame can be given, and once D4 is in then it can be further refined. This is unlikely to be a spike, but a roll over top.

In the immediate future below is what MAP WAVE Analysis is projecting.

Due to a lack of understanding of the fact that support and resistance ARE NOT horizontal, but time related and depending on the fractal wave scale you are trading that there is NO MAGIC time and price target. This fundamental simplicity just does not exist! MAP WAVE Analysis gives clear validity criteria, as shown above on the 4H scale. These can be applied to whatever your trading pivot scale is.

MAP Wave Analysis, unlike Elliot Wave and Andrews Pitchforks are a systematic methodical rule based approach, details of which can be found either on my blog or here on The Market Oracle and data is archived and updated in a format that is traceable as shown in this SPX update, so that the system can be improved and used as a learning model. Additionally investors can evaluate its effectiveness when making investment decisions.

maphorn 27 Nov 12, 16:53	Gold - Expect low around 1730 We should get a bit of a bounce around 1740, with the final low around 1730 to set the Christmas challenge to see if it hits the projected target area of a minimum of 1795.84 and maximum 1802.92 Marc
maphorn 28 Nov 12, 02:55	Gold - First bounce! One more low needed! This bounce was a bit lower than the ideal wave! It should revert its 4H downtrend around ideal wave - 1743, extreme wave 1750. Once in this pivot will be the 4H wave scale confirmation and then final projection for low can be made, but must be between 1718 and 1736 to meet MAP Wave rules. The higher this bounce the lower the D wave scale low will be!
maphorn 28 Nov 12, 03:51	Gold - Break above 1750 confirms bottom In I forgot to add that a break above 1750 will confirm the pivot I am expecting is in - then it is the moment of truth - Marc
maphorn 28 Nov 12, 09:33	GOLD - time to panic? For explanation and latest update just posted http://mapportunity.wordpress.com/2012/11/28/gold-the-importance-of-rules-what-went-wrong-and-does-it-matter/ Marc
maphorn 30 Nov 12, 08:55	Gold Retest lows today or Monday! Expect a retest of the 28 November low - if it holds a break above today's highs keeps it on track as described in the updated report http://mapportunity.wordpress.com/2012/11/28/gold-the-importance-of-rules-what-went-wrong-and-does-it-matter/
maphorn 04 Dec 12, 08:49	Gold bugs to be disappointed! Todays break led to yet another reanalysis as per my update emailed to my blog followers, which means the retest is a few years way. New lows first! My mistake can easily be seen retrospectively on the weekly chart above where pivots D3 and D4 are in fact W3 and W4, hence W3 shown is M-4. for full details and hourly reanalysis see http://mapportunity.wordpress.com/2012/12/04/gold-long-term-downtrend-to-new-lows-before-retest/
maphorn 26 Jan 13, 20:26	Gold Summer target $1400 Gold has been continuing its trend as projected. For updated analysis see latest blog post http://mapportunity.wordpress.com/2013/01/26/gold-update-24-january-2013/ Marc
