New highs for the gold price (in euros)

Tuesday, March 23, 2010

As usual, when the gold price languishes for a while, it tends to get bashed by those who don't understand it and think that, surely, after ten years and a 300+ percent gain, there can't be even higher prices in store. But, as shown below in the Kitco Gold Index, that feeling is a distinctly American one recently as new highs in terms of other currencies were seen as recently as two weeks ago.

The potentially very good news for American gold investors is that there appears to be a nice little "wedge" pattern developing over the last few months and these formations usually result in a big move up or down when they're complete.
