Gold eclipsed by eurodollars 

INTERMARKET ANALYSIS: Yesterday's advice holds. Gold is churning. Eurodollars are trending higher. Choice one: Be in gold and get whipsawed as a swing trader. Choice two: Be in cash (long Eurodollars) and wait for a breakout in gold.
 
11-DAY LINEAR REGRESSION CHART: The 11-day channel for gold is neutral (0).
 
6-MONTH CHART: Gold is range trading between its descending 20-period moving average and its June 2009 lows.
