Technicals:
Looking at this chart reminds me greatly of Bitcoin’s top in 2021. After a 5-wave move down there was an ABC to new ATHs just overshooting wave 5, before a massive C wave. I have this as a grand supercycle wave 4 correction. It is setting up to be an expanded flat correction with a deep C wave. So my target for my C-wave is the 1.618 fib level of wave A.
After the 5-wave move (Primary green) down from the ATH reached in 2011 red supercycle wave A was completed. What followed was a clear 5-wave move in a leading diagonal, creating wave A of red supercycle wave B. An ABC correction followed, and then an impulsive 5-wave move to complete red supercycle wave A. Since the completion of the red supercycle wave A, there has been a wave 1 and an expanded flat correction retracing nearly 100% of wave 1. And now we are beginning the third wave of this red supercycle wave C which will be the most bearish.
My Target for gold is 763.769
If price breaks above 2075.282 This wave count is invalidated.
Fundamentals:
According to Truflation, the real rate of inflation is now at 3%. This number is updated daily. The government number is believed to be lagging behind Truflation’s number by about 3-4 months. So if this is the case, the very crowned gold long trade will become unattractive as we reach the Fed’s target of 2%. Of course, the repercussions of their rapid rate hikes will continue to increase disinflation until it crosses the line to disinflation.
My assessment is shorting gold is likely the best trade out there at the moment. There is a 6 to 1 risk reward ratio.
