    August gold futures closed down $20.60 at $908.50 yesterday. Prices closed near the session low yesterday and hit a fresh two-month low. Price action yesterday also saw a bearish downside “breakout” from a recent trading range. Gold was pressured yesterday by a firmer U.S. dollar and sharply lower crude oil prices. Bears have gained fresh downside technical momentum. Prices are in a five-week-old downtrend on the daily chart. Bears’ next downside price objective is closing prices below psychological support at $900.00. Gold bulls’ next upside price objective is to push and close prices above solid technical resistanceat $940.00. First resistance is seen at $913.20 and then at $920.00.

    Trading futures, foreign exchange, and options on margin carries a high level of risk and may not be suitable for all investors. The high degree of leverage can work against you as well as for you. Before deciding to trade futures, foreign exchange, or options you should carefully consider your investment objectives, level of experience and risk tolerance. The possibility exists that you could sustain a loss of some or all of your initial investment and therefore you should not invest money that you cannot afford to lose. You should be aware of all the risks associated with futures, foreign exchange and options  trading and you could lose more than your original investment.
