It just made it back up to where it was two months ago. And, it&rsquo;s still down about 7% for the year so far.<\/p>\n<p>But, for the first time in several months, gold outpaced the gains in the S&amp;P 500. And, it beat out the gains in bitcoin as well.<\/p>\n<p>That&rsquo;s important because, for the past several months, gold has underperformed the stock market and the cryptocurrency market. Last week&rsquo;s outperformance likely signals that gold is finally ready to play &ldquo;catch up.&rdquo;<\/p>\n<p>Take a look at this chart&hellip;<\/p>\n<p align=\"center\"><img decoding=\"async\" alt=\"\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.jeffclarktrader.com\/JMU\/images\/202104\/20210419-mm-01.png\" width=\"700\" style=\"width:100%; max-width:700px; margin: 0 auto;\"\/><\/p>\n<p>Last week&rsquo;s rally pushed gold above all of its various moving average lines.

Now, they&rsquo;ll serve as <a href=\"https:\/\/www.jeffclarktrader.com\/glossary\/#support\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">support<\/a> on any declines.<\/p>\n<p>More importantly, the red shorter-term 9-day, and green 20-day, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.jeffclarktrader.com\/glossary\/#ema\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">exponential moving averages<\/a> (EMA) appear ready to cross above the blue longer-term 50-day <a href=\"https:\/\/www.jeffclarktrader.com\/glossary\/#movingaverage\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">moving average<\/a> (MA).<\/p>\n<p>This sort of &ldquo;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.jeffclarktrader.com\/glossary\/#bullish\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">bullish<\/a> cross&rdquo; often marks the start of an intermediate-term rally phase. Gold just needs to hold above its 50-day MA &ndash; at about $1750 &ndash; for a few days to do the trick.<\/p>\n<table bgcolor=\"#eeeeee\" border=\"0\" cellpadding=\"10\" cellspacing=\"0\" width=\"100%\" style=\"border: 1px solid #D7D7D7; margin-bottom:20px;\">\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<td style=\"padding-left: 15px;padding-right: 15px; padding-top: 10px; font-family: Arial,sans-serif;font-size:17px; line-height:24px;\">\n<p align=\"center\" style=\"-ms-text-size-adjust: none; -webkit-text-size-adjust: none; margin-bottom: 20px; font-size: 18px;\"><strong>Free Trading Resources<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Have you checked out Jeff&#8217;s free trading resources on his website?

So, it wouldn&rsquo;t surprise me at all to see gold dip a bit early this week &ndash; if only to relieve those overbought conditions.<\/p>\n<p>But, any decline in gold is likely to find support near the cluster of moving averages at about $1750. Traders should use any drop towards that level as a chance to get aggressive on the long side.<\/p>\n<p>Gold has started its &ldquo;catch-up&rdquo; rally.
