Change   with weak Bids going into the close.  9.0000 (0.56%) prices closed higher than they opened. 


A long upper shadow occurred.  This is typically a bearish signal (particularly when it occurs near a high price level, at resistance level, or when the security is overbought).


     MARKET SENTIMENT
  
PulseScan Swing Vix


PulseScan:     38.97
Swing Vix:     39.66


The Market Pulse is positive since it is trading above its zero signal line.The PulseScan crossed below the Swing Vix creating a DOWN Trend Channel as of    3 period(s) ago. However, the Swing Vix just crossed below 39 from a topping formation.  This is a bearish sign.  
A buy or sell signal is generated when the Swing Vix moves out of an overbought/oversold area.  


*The last signal was a Over-Bought Sell  0 period(s) Ago.
The Swing Vix does not currently show any Failure Swings.The security price has set a new 14-period high while the Swing Vix has not.  This is a bearish divergence. Since the PulseScan leads the market 3-5 days out we will wait to see if downside pressure develops.
      
  *Since the last Swing Vix signal, GOLD FUTURES's price has increased 0.85% , and has ranged from a high of 1,624.30 to a low of 1,581.10.
