You can tell the market is backed off, it's down for the week so far at this point at least 1.45%, $43. You can see how the market peaked out a week ago and came down as it's getting this break right now and stepped out of the uptrend. The market is under the 18-week average of closes...
Now, as I look at the market it's oversold – I'm not bearish gold. The trend can easily be down into the lower Bollinger Band, that'd be fine. It either embeds – an embedding requires the blue and the red lines get under 20, goes sideways together and stay that way. They didn't even make it there. They haven't made it at all. I have no reason to believe that gold's going to do that. I think gold will be the beneficiary of inflation that all this causes.

Ira began in the futures markets in 1969. Over the years he worked his way up, starting from the ground up as a "floor runner" culminating with his becoming a Floor Trader. In the mid 1970s Ira decided to make a career shift within the industry to develop both retail and commercial based clientele. His customer base grew to the point whereby in 1984 he founded "Ira Epstein & Company", a trading firm specializing in retail, commercial and self-directed discount futures trading. Along the way Ira became a leader in trading technology out of necessity, due to increased small lot trade volume. He was among the first to embrace the Internet, which as you know has dramatically changed both the way information is delivered and how trading takes place today.
One of the ways Ira, along with his brokers showcase their talents is through e-mails of market information and Ira's "Futures Videos", which can be viewed on our website, through Market Center, Linn-IraChart Software and on YouTube.
