I'm glad to see you're finally seeing what I've been saying to you. Obviously, charts can change in an instant...but the trend reversal signs have been there for well over a week now. Just need them to fully confirm (which involves much of what you stated in your post). It's been a bit of a slow process and if it becomes too slow, it turns into failure.
I will be very curious to see where Gold is in the morning...as it does appear that it may be breaking upward out of a bull flag on the intraday (per my posts on NUGT board today). Has to break AND HOLD 1180-1181 though.
