DXY pops on wage growth data while BTC continues to range.Good Friday morning, traders. We have made it to Friday and Bitcoin continues to move sideways after the shakeout almost two days ago. Price is not consolidating in this area, however volume is dropping, suggesting that accumulation may be taking place. As pointed out a day ago, and has become clearer at this time, price may be printing a checkmate pattern. This is noticeable as a strong drop with wider-spread candles, followed by an abrupt stop and sideways movement with much smaller-spread candles and dojis, and then culminates with a strong thrust back up. Price has been increasing slightly within in a channel while in this range creating a possible bear flag with a target of $5200. On the 15 minute TF, we can see a potential shorter target of $5650. This $5200-$5650 range is right inline with the $5460-$5250 area I spoke about months ago if we have a terminal shakeout. So traders should be using caution and strong risk management if trading this current price range.
What I find most compelling on the 1D chart is OBV which has been in a descending channel since January 2018, but has been rounding the bottom creating a descending wedge that it is near possibly breaking out of to the upside, which will also take OBV out of that channel. This is happening while price is nearing the end of its own descending wedge that it's been in since February. If we do see OBV pop to the topside, then we should expect price to follow, but it could take until the end of this month to see it happen. This is playing out differently than in 2014 when OBV continued in a descending channel until it finally popped out in September 2015 culminating in the end of that year's accumulation cycle. This may be signalling that BTC is nearing the end of its own current accumulation, which is staunchly in opposition to the CT which believes price MUST fall to $3000 and remain in a bear market for another year or two.
We can see that price is having trouble pushing through the pivot on the smaller TF, but if successful then I expect it to target the $6650-$6705 area as mentioned last night. This would also put price right under the R1 pivot. I have seen some over-leveraged shorts getting liquidated on tucsky.github.io this morning and expect there are many more within the next $500 up. A strong push in price should result in a domino effect squeezing shorts, currently sitting just under their ATH, into the upper level of shorts that remain at $7200-$7600. While in no way guaranteed, this is the alternative scenario I am watching in addition to the possible continued drop.
The DXY popped this morning after the government's employment report showed exceptionally strong wage growth - fastest since the June 2009. What this means is that the when the Federal Reserve meets later this month, they have more fuel to raise interest rates as they may see this wage growth indicating that inflation is increasing. If the interest rate rises, the DXY will likely also rise. This may not bode too well for Bitcoin as it tends to move in opposition to the DXY, in much the same manner as gold does.
The S&P and DJI remain near their ATHs at this time. As mentioned before, I believe they may currently be in distribution, with DJI's OBV showing this likelihood greater than the S&P's. While the S&P recently marked a new ATH at $2916.50 at the end of August, the DJI is nearing its ATH from January of this year at $26435.34. At the very least, the DJI is expected to hit $26439.48 so that it fills the down gap that printed right after January's ATH. A stock market correction would not be a surprise as that market has had ten years of growth without one after the 2008 financial crisis and the growth of which was precipitated by QE.
XAU/USD is about to hit overbought once more on the weekly suggesting an appreciation in value is likely to occur sooner rather than later. Daily OBV has been in a downtrend since June of this year, but recently saw a bounce on August 16th which it has been continuing to extend. Is this the start of a new uptrend in OBV or is it merely a dead cat bounce leading to further devaluation of gold? I would like to see gold breach $1220 in the near-term to suggest possible continued appreciation. Remember, gold diverges from DXY, as does Bitcoin, so we will continue to watch how all these markets play out to get a better picture of Bitcoin's direction.
I will be discussing all of this during our live streams today at 10 a.m. and 9 p.m. CST.
GOLD SELL: ENTRY AT 200EMA, TARGET AT 382 FIB RETRACEMENTGC is currently bullish while DXY is bearish, so if sentiments remain intact, then Gold will rally but in the short term, my technicals are flashing red as clearly seen on the chart. I am therefore placing my pending order at the 200EMA which is seating at a previous support zone currently acting as resistance. I see price shooting to the 200EMA and then retracing to the 382 fib level before making a final decision as to whether it will rally or continue the downtrend. Also my RSI is comfortably seating above the 50 level (bullish) but was overbought(85) on Friday at the 1hr TF.
Hence, I am a bear in the short term. I may throw in a small size entry at market price with the same target, just in case price decides to drop from here henceforth.
Cheers!
Short Gold, Harmonic Pattern + confluence with resistanceGold has made some interesting harmonic movements on the daily. Nearly 3 perfect harmonic movements (A-->B Retracement just barely passed the .61 level). We are overextended on the hourly, with declining volume, and approaching daily resistance levels. Short gold to .38 and .61 levels (C--->D retracement). TVC:GOLD
short term gold (auxusd) predictionsJust based off chart analysis i believe the trend will stay within the drawn out channel and could face a few points of support and resistance within it but in the case that a break out is made i believe it will have a strong resistance around the 1330 range due to the fact that historically it has tested and retested that range over and over before going above or below it.
let me know what you think!
Gold is running out of Steam... The Winter is coming Gold and Silver tend to follow seasonal patterns. If you have been in this market long you know this is a painful time of year for stackers and longs. Although I am a long term bull, a healthy pull back to 1260-1250 is eminent. We might climb to 1300... but we will come down. Down below if 1250 does not hold gold will fall straight through to 1235-1205. It is important to bear in mind that gold and silver are heavily shorted. There is a lot of downward pressure on precious metals. The charts can be deceiving but the trend is your friend
Gold outperforms the Yen in 2017The central banks essentially have unlimited power to prop up the stock and bond markets. In the past, Stanley Druckenmiller found that the loss of liquidity caused stock market crashes. The central banks learned from this and just keep injecting more liquidity to prop up the markets in the face of insurmountable debt loads. The Bank of Japan buys both bonds (quantitative easing = QE) and stocks. The European Central Bank buys bonds. The US has stopped buying bonds for now. Not only are the bonds and stocks in a bubble, the central bank balance sheets are also in a bubble. Mr. Druckenmiller sold all of his gold the night of president Trump's election in November, 2016, and reentered gold in February, 2017 (source Forbes). Many economists and traders predict inflation (gold rising) while Harry Dent predicts deflation (everything falling including gold). I am long GDX.
