Mary Ann Bartel of BofA is Now Bullish on Gold

Mary Ann Bartel is one of the technicians I follow and respect. Bartel is the Head of Technical and Market Analysis for Bank of America Merrill Lynch and recently came out with a note expecting gold to bottom soon and head up to $2,300.  

From Barron’s:  

“In our view, gold remains in a secular bull market,” Bartels writes today in a research note co-authored with Stephen Suttmeier and Jue Xiong. “The pullback off the August/September 2011 highs is just a consolidation of this secular bull trend,” she writes.

The metal is set up for a rally to “downtrend resistance” near $1,700 and chart resistances in the $1,800 and $1,900-$1,925 areas, she writes. And higher still: “Longer-term, we expect gold to move to new highs with projected resistance in the 2100-2300 area.”
