Gold's RoadmapGold (June) / Silver (May) Gold, yesterday’s close: Settled at 2383.0, up 8.9 Silver, yesterday’s close: Settled at 28.717, up 0.387 Gold futures traded above $2400 and Silver above $29 early in the session but did see a wave of profit taking through the thick of European hours, but are attempting to stabilize ahead of the U.S. bell. The construction off Friday’s sharp reversal is fairly remarkable, and another favorable close today would help to neutralize the negative sentiment produced by that reversal. Gold is the leader this morning and has responded to major three-star support at 2378.2-2384.7. While holding out above here is a positive, extending gains above 2404.3-2408.5 may be needed to fulfill those shoes Bias: Neutral/Bullish Resistance: 2399.2**, 2404.3-2408.5***, 2411.3-2412.9***, 2425.6**, 2337.3-2448.8***, 2466.5***, 2539.3-2560.1**** Pivot: 2389.6-2394.5 Support: 2378.2-2384.7***, 2365.8-2369**, 2360.2-2362.6***, 2348.1-2351***, 2327.1-2343.1**** Silver (May) Resistance: 28.56-28.69**, 28.88-28.90**, 29.05-29.22***, 29.88-30.35*** Pivot: 28.44 Support: 28.18-28.24**, 27.93**, 27.64-27.76***, 27.34-27.51***, 26.93-26.97***, 26.40-26.48*** Check out CME Group real-time data plans available on TradingView here: www.tradingview.com Disclaimers: CME Real-time Market Data help identify trading set-ups and express my market views.

Gold might be in a late stage of the rallyGold saw a pullback of nearly $100 from a high of $2,431, followed by a slight rebound, dragging the price to $2,370 per troy ounce. This increasing volatility begs the question of the market’s state. To address this, we would like to note that the rising volume has been accompanying the increasing price, which is positive (and, indeed, quite impressive, considering how much gold has run up in the past year). In addition to that, silver and some of the mining stocks within the precious metals sector began to catch up with gold recently, which could indicate the shiny metal is entering a late stage of the rally. With that said, we think there is still a significant chance for gold to run higher (likely beyond $2,500). But then, we are also well aware that certain market developments (if they play out) might hold gold down for much longer (including the stock market downturn, steady or higher interest rates for longer, etc.). Illustration 1.01 Illustration 1.01 shows the daily chart of XAUUSD. Green arrows highlight a simultaneous rise in the price and volume. Illustration 1.02 The weekly graph of XAUUSD depicts two multi-year resistance levels from the past, which now act as critical support levels. Following a breakout above the first level in June 2019, gold rallied nearly 51% before forming another wall of resistance at $2,075. This level was first time broken (temporarily) in late 2023 and then again in late February 2024 (now with the price staying above it); when measuring from the second breakout level at $2,075 until the recent peak of $2,431, gold rallied slightly more than 17%, potentially leaving some more upside left (though, unlikely another 30% without a significant pullback to the base).

$2,300 hit amid gold's steep riseShortly after the futures market opened, gold reached our long-time-awaited price target of $2,300 and established a new all-time high at $2,305 before retreating slightly lower. We continue to be bullish on gold in the long term and believe it can reach significantly higher price tags ($2,500 and higher) due to future rate cuts, sticky inflation, and a weak U.S. dollar. Nevertheless, despite our bullish beliefs, there are certain developments in the market to consider and watch out for. According to the World Gold Council's report earlier this year (and information from Metals Focus and ICE Benchmark Administration), gold total demand rose approximately 3% YoY in 2023. However, what is intriguing about this figure is that the majority of the mentioned sectors in the report experienced year-over-year declines in demand that same year, including electronics, dentistry, technology, jewelry fabrication, gold bars, central bank purchases, ETFs, and investment. In fact, only four sectors showed positive gains, with most of the demand coming from over-the-counter and other (recording a 753% rise YoY); the rest of the categories that gained include industrial demand, imitation coins, and jewelry consumption (these rises are notably smaller though). Now, with gold being up 26% merely in the past six months, the question stands as to whether there will be enough demand from over-the-counter (and other sectors, which seems unlikely) in the coming months as well because gold’s elevated price (perhaps coupled with slowing down economic activity in certain parts of the world) seems to be already taking some toll on the demand side. Besides that, while bullish and still leaving some room for the upside, multiple technical indicators on daily and weekly time frames show overbought conditions that should not be overlooked, especially with gold’s lengthy history of steep rises being shortly followed by volatile drops. Furthermore, as we outlined numerous times before, the stock market’s relentless rise and the growing odds of correction threaten gold’s performance with each step higher (in the case of a substantial correction or selloff in the stock market, gold will likely be negatively affected). Illustration 1.01 As gold’s price explores uncharted waters, volume continues to increase on the daily graph, which is positive; a declining volume and rising price would be questionable. Illustration 1.02 Illustration 1.02 shows the daily chart of XAUUSD and simple support/resistance levels derived from past peaks and troughs. Illustration 1.03 The price and RSI show the divergence on the daily chart.

Gold, How High Can it Go?Gold (June) / Silver (May) Gold, yesterday’s close: Settled at 2351.0, up 5.6 Silver, yesterday’s close: Settled at 27.807, up 0.304 Gold futures have now set a fresh record high for the eighth straight session. Although Silver is well below its 1980 and 2011 record highs of $50, the underlying strength exuded in recent sessions is certainly nothing to ignore. The first task for Silver is clearing and holding above what has become a psychological barrier at $30. Days like yesterday, where what feels like a precipitous drop is quickly reversed back into positive territory, are likely going to become more of the norm, but with wider ranges, and doing so is an exhibition of such underlying strength. Still, risk management is key and that is why our trade desk is here to help, always feel free to reach out. Gold is in unchartered territory, therefore, we are using extension levels from multiple historical ranges, and it is trading into a sticky spot redefined by 2366.1-2372.5 as today’s pivot and point of balance and 2380.2-2384.5 as major three-star resistance. With Silver, continued resilience above a new handle (28 versus 27) should pave the way for a test of major three-star resistance at 28.52-28.57 on the session. From there, we brace for tomorrow’s CPI data.

Gold approaches all-time highsIn the previous post on gold, we expressed our fears about the shiny metal amid a sudden spike in volatility and a slight drop in the U.S. market indices (accompanying the spike in VIX). Nevertheless, it did not take long for the volatility to falter and the fear to disappear among market participants. Quickly, the market leaped higher, and gold followed in tandem, breaking above $2,100. The overall picture improved at a fast pace, and now, gold trades merely $20 away from its all-time highs. However, as stocks and cryptocurrencies are reaching the euphoria phase, the case for a significant pullback in the two markets is growing, which could (temporarily) negatively affect gold’s performance; in our opinion, the stock market weakness is one of the biggest potential foes to gold going forward. Yet, this does not change our view of the big picture. We remain highly bullish on gold in the long term and maintain the price target of $2,300.

A comprehensive look at gold's volatile history during crisesIt is often said that gold tends to perform well during economic uncertainty and crisis. But is this really so? Let’s examine gold's volatile history before and during recessions in the past 50 years. The 1960s and 1970s were marked by many economic and geopolitical changes, including multiple crises of the British pound, the collapse of the London Gold Pool, the suspension of a gold standard, and the end of the Bretton Woods System. These events helped to reshape the global monetary system and the role of gold within it. Before U.S. President Richard Nixon's “temporary” suspension of gold’s convertibility to the U.S. dollar, gold was pegged at $35 per troy ounce and allowed to move within a certain band around this level. However, following the breakage of the peg between gold and the U.S. dollar, gold’s price soared past levels previously thought to be unattainable. Thanks to high inflation rates, the oil crisis, and the weak U.S. dollar, gold rose more than 2,300% during the 1970s, recording a 147% increase in 1979 alone. Illustration 1.01 Illustration 1.01 shows the daily chart of XAUUSD. The green background highlights gold’s performance one year before the recession began in January 1980. The yellow background indicates recession periods, as reported by the U.S. Federal Reserve. In the first 19 days of January 1980, gold rose another 54%, hitting an all-time high of $873 per troy ounce. In the next 66 days, gold plummeted 48% to $473. From lows on 27th March 1980, gold gained over 65%, stopping at $748.50 on 22nd September 1980. After that, gold declined until 21st June 1982, erasing nearly 60% of its value before staging a temporary rally. Nevertheless, it was only two years after the recession, on 25th February 1985, that gold finally bottomed out at $282.60. Illustration 1.02 Illustration 1.02 portrays the daily graph of XAUUSD. The red background indicates gold’s performance one year before the recession began in July 1990. The yellow background shows the recession period. After bottoming out in 1985, gold rallied nearly 80% by mid-December 1987. But the next few years saw gold underperform and plunge 31%. The decline halted on 14th June 1990, at $348.20. Following that, gold’s price started to appreciate, rising 22% in the next two months, hitting a high of $425 on 21st August 1990. Yet, it was only a brief rally again, and gold soon reversed the trend. Gold lost more than 23% in the next three years, dropping to a low of $325.8 per troy ounce on 10th March 1993. Another three years were carried in a similar volatile manner, with gold rising nearly by one-third and then reversing and declining to merely $252.10 on 22nd August 1999. Illustration 1.03 The image above shows the daily chart of XAUUSD. The red background illustrates gold’s performance one year before the start of the recession in March 2001, and the yellow background indicates a recession period. After soaring 35% from 1999 lows in less than two months, gold shocked precious metal investors when it reversed and began a slow decline that lasted until the start of the 2001 recession; in fact, gold nearly took out 1999 lows in early 2001. During the recession, gold had a run-up of 12% and continued to soar to new heights after its end. By the next recession hit in late 2007, gold doubled in price. Illustration 1.04 Illustration 1.04 displays the daily graph of XAUUSD. The green background shows gold’s performance one year before the start of the recession. The yellow background highlights the recession period. From its peak in March 2008, gold lost approximately 34% until its low of $681.50 on 24th October 2008. Yet, despite this massive decline, gold bottomed out before stocks and soared more than 180% until hitting a peak in September 2011.

Mar 4th 2024 GC Update - Potentially a start of something bigAnother share from the TTR, this time is a commodity chart - #GC Beautiful move up on Friday! The price has stopped right at the trendline support; there is one more resistance box above it. When/If it is broken, we will see the next trendline tested again, followed by a breakout box. This is a very bullish action as if the price continues to break out, then expect some geopolitical issues to come next, which means the markets could be near its maj top!

Two potential swing trades for goldGold futures saw a false break of $2060 on Wednesday, before momentum turned lower and sent prices back beneath the weekly and monthly pivot points. Those pivots have since turned into resistance, before gold saw a trendline break. As RSI (2) is oversold and prices have found support at the 10-dy EMA and daily S1 pivot, bulls could seek a near-term swing long trade with a stop below 2045 and a target back near the pivots. At which point, we see the potential for another leg lower, so bears could seek evidence of a swing high and for a move back down to $2040, or the swing lows near the daily S pivot.

Market selloff poses a threat to the gold's performanceFinally, our expectations for gold to slide below $2,000 were fulfilled yesterday when the shiny metal sold off following the release of higher-than-expected inflation data in the United States. Given the hell breaking lose (yesterday) in the stock market, we remain concerned about gold’s performance in the short and medium term (while being bullish in the long term). It is very likely that the selloff in stocks will negatively affect gold’s price (if it continues), dragging it to $1,950 and potentially even lower (depending on the new developments). In line with our previous assessments, we patiently wait for a better price to manifest itself before taking advantage of the opportunity (ideally waiting for the dip below $1,900). Illustration 1.01 The image above shows the daily chart of XAUUSD and adjusted fan lines. The yellow arrow indicates a bearish breakout below the third fan line. Illustration 1.02 Illustration 1.02 portrays the daily graph of XAUUSD and simple support/resistance levels derived from peaks and troughs.

Gold likely to continue shining in 2024For over two years of publishing on TradingView, we have maintained a bullish stance on gold, which has been marching higher in tandem with our expectations. In 2024, our outlook remains unchanged, and we expect it to continue performing well amid the persistence of institutional interest, global economic slowdown, and geopolitical tensions. However, we also recognize a potential threat to its well-being, represented by the stock market weakness. This thesis is built upon the fact that gold has been climbing higher alongside stock market indices for several months, showing a positive correlation. Furthermore, we have seen a perfect example in 2022, when the stock market selloff forced investors to sell gold in order to cover losses elsewhere; we expect the same thing to happen in the case of prolonged weakness in market indices. Nonetheless, we do not have plans to sell our holdings; instead, we plan to accumulate more (if the opportunity arises). With that said, our long-term price target for gold stays at $2,300.

Bullish in the long-term, but not so bullish in the short termDespite our expectations for gold to continue slightly lower, it rebounded from around $1,940 to more than $2,000 per troy ounce. While this move is impressive, it is important to note that gold has been rising together with the stock market. As a result, we are again skeptical about its prospects of retaining the current price tag (especially if the stock market starts reversing from the current heights). With that said, we remain bullish on gold in the long term. However, we think gold will likely stay choppy in the foreseeable future.

Gold is giving up some of its October 2023 gainsIn tandem with our expectations, we saw gold give up some of its gains after an impressive rally last month. Currently, it trades near $1,938 per troy ounce. Although we remain bullish in the long term, we are still unconvinced about a straight path higher in the short term/medium term. In fact, we believe gold has a chance of continuing lower, especially if the stock market starts weakening again. This view is also supported by technical indicators like RSI, Stochastic, and MACD on the daily chart, which are growing increasingly bearish. Consequently, we would not be surprised if gold dived below $1,920 and potentially tested an important psychological support at $1,900.

The road higher will be bumpyWhile bullish in the long term, we are still awaiting further pullback in the price of gold after its impressive run above $2,000. Right now, we are paying close attention to support and resistance levels near $2,009, $1,985, and $1,959. If the price of gold manages to hold above $1,985, it will be positive; the same applies to the breakout above $2,000 and resistance near $2,009. However, if the price fails to stay above the mentioned level, and we see more decline in RSI and Stochastic on the daily chart, it will alert us to more downside; in such a case, we would expect gold to drop below $1,960 (and maybe even to as low as $1,925). Yet, regardless of our opinions, it is important to note that there is a FOMC meeting scheduled for today, which can have a volatile impact (to either side) on the price depending on the FED’s decision and the chairman's tone during the press conference.
