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.
"The problem with movies and books is they make evil look glamorous, exciting, when it's no such thing. It's boring and it's depressing and it's stupid. Criminals are all after cheap thrills and easy money, and when they get them, all they want is more of the same, over and over. They're shallow, empty, boring people who couldn't give you five minutes of interesting conversation. Maybe some can be monkey-clever, some of the time, but they aren't hardly ever smart."
