Short
Gold all time high
Gold futures are trading at all time highs. Gold is up +25% YTD. Based on this GOL 4hr chart uptrend channel, I am planning a short gold trade. As you can see we are getting close to the short entry zone (or take profit if you're still long). Gold is ranked #1 asset by market cap of $17.5 Trillion. So I wouldn't want to step in front of this train prematurely. Especially if the reversal signal is a blow off top. However, based on US cumulative inflation, gold is overextended as an inflation hedge.
