No change in Gold as the yellow metal continues to trade in a relatively tight

range. Price has most recently pulled away from the bear channel top drawn off

the Sep 4 high that intersects at $1501.9 today. This maintains a near-term

bearish bias with attention on $1473.9, Oct 11 low. A break would open $1459.0.

The condition for a stronger recovery to extend the rally off the Oct low is

unchanged and remains a channel breakout. This would open $1535.8 and $1557.3.
