Anyway GOLD. Not doing a whole lot on open but we really don't want it to. If gold accelerated past $2471 then it would hit the 80% RSI and start setting off alarm bells that people should be selling. The current price is pretty much at the 70% RSI (Relative Strength Index) of $2380. A rating above 70 means a stock/commodity is overbought and might be in line for a correction. The higher the number goes, the more likely a correction becomes
So we chill at this price level comfortably above £1900/$2300 for a while until we consolidate our gains before the next leg up. There was a discussion about this a few pages back between @SovereignBishop and @SidS that covered most of it. As stackers and long-term holders we definitely want the price to go up but we don't want massive volatility, that doesn't suit us at all, high volatility suits traders and the ultra wealthy. Our ideal scenario is to be the turtle, slow but steadily accumulation in a sustainable fashion. Booms and busts make buying physical gold riskier as failure to time the market (timing the market is theoretically impossible) may lead to losses if you happen to be unlucky when making a large purchase.
We want things to be easy and for our decisions to buy gold, DCA or large purchases, to be straight forward. You buy, hold, number goes up, great, job done. We can see the recent volatility has had a negative effect on sales and premiums, depending on your POV. A slow, steady rise with steady premiums suits the dealers/sellers and the buyers
