Well, although I had seen the possibility that would gold would not rally to the highs before going lower, I didn't give it enough of a probability.
Gold, in fact, has slid lower and is not showing much life and so I've reassessed the wave count to this W-X-Y.
Three waves down (W), then a sideways triangle (X), and now we're in the midst of (Y).
Y will likely be an a-b-c and its possible that we're just completing wave a. Expect a bounce back in the coming week or so but it will be choppy and not impulsive. Then we go down again for the final push down before bottoming.
