POINT & FIGURE
Yen-Denominated Gold Breakout

Gold priced in US dollars has been and remains in a strong bull market. However, gold priced in Japanese yen only recently has broken resistance to continue its bull run.
Position: Buy
| Figure 1 is a classic point & figure. Each box (X or O) represents 200 yen, and a three-box reversal is required to change directions. |
| As this chart shows, gold/yen met resistance around 45500 in February 2003, January 2004, and May 04 (red arrows). This resistance zone represents overhead supply that prevented gold/yen from moving higher. Each breakout attempt was met with selling pressure and pushed back down. |

| Despite the failures at resistance, buying pressure remained strong on each dip; note the higher lows extending back over the past year and a half (green arrows). This shows buying pressure coming in at higher and higher levels. |
| The overall pattern is a large ascending triangle. These are typically bullish continuation patterns and the September break above the resistance zone confirms the pattern. This is a clear victory by demand over supply and argues for higher prices over the coming months. |
