SP futures failed at overhead resistance, but still have not yet taken out support, and the important pivot, to the downside.
Still it was a low volume weak ending to the month of July.
Gold held the all important support and came roaring back today, rallying as the selling for the option expiry and Comex contract rollover are done.
It is hanging around the important 1180 level, but taking out 1200 and sticking it is quite important.
So in summary, a very nice rally for the beleaguered bulls, but it is too soon to write home to mother about it.

Bull market but the trend is wider allowing for greater beta and a wilder ride.
“A nation can survive its fools, and even the ambitious. But it cannot survive treason from within. For the traitor appears not a traitor; he wears their face and their arguments, he appeals to the baseness that lies deep in the hearts of all men. He rots the soul of a nation, he works secretly and unknown in the night to undermine the pillars of the city, he infects the body politic so that it can no longer resist. A murderer is less to fear. The traitor is the plague.” Marcus Tullius Cicero
