GOLD MARKET ANALYSIS AND COMMENTARY - [Sep 16 - Sep 20]This week, OANDA:XAUUSD increased quite sharply, from 2,485 USD/oz to 2,585 USD/oz and closed at 2,579 USD/oz.
The reason international gold prices increased sharply this week is because the market expects the FED to strongly cut interest rates at its meeting next week, with a cut of up to 50 percentage points. However, considering economic data and the current US economic situation, the FED can only cut interest rates by 25 percentage points.
This week, we saw the US August Consumer Price Index (CPI) increase by 2.5% year-on-year, lower than the expected increase of 2.6% and down sharply from the increase of 2.5%. .9% in July. However, core CPI, excluding energy and food prices, increased by 3.2%, a slight increase compared to July's data.
Meanwhile, the US unemployment rate in August decreased slightly from 4.3% to 4.2%, although this figure is still high compared to the 3.8% rate recorded a year ago.
In particular, GDP in the second quarter in the most recent adjustment increased to 3% over the same period last year, much higher than the previously announced 2.8%...
All of the above data shows that although the US economy has slowed down, inflation is cooling down, and the labor market is still difficult, it cannot fall into a short-term recession. Therefore, the FED will likely only cut interest rates by 25 percentage points.
In principle, when the FED cuts interest rates, gold prices will increase. However, the increase in gold prices next week will depend on the level of interest rate cuts by the FED. Currently, there is only about a 43% chance that the FED will cut interest rates by 50 basis points next week. Therefore, if the FED only cuts interest rates by 25 percentage points, next week's gold price could still rise above the threshold of 2,600 USD/oz, but then will be under pressure from investors to sell and take profits. If the FED cuts interest rates by up to 50 percentage points, gold prices next week could increase far beyond the threshold of 2,600 USD/oz.
While the Fed's decision will be the focus of the gold market next week, other important economic data could also cause some volatility in gold prices next week, such as manufacturing figures. , housing market and retail sales data.
In addition, after the FED's monetary policy meeting, the Bank of England and the Bank of Japan will also announce their monetary policy decisions.
📌Technically, in the short term for the H4 technical chart, after a period of cumulative sideways movement, this week the gold price has broken out of the old peak at 2530 and far exceeded this resistance level. In the immediate future, the gold price will correct. Recovering the round resistance level of 2600. However, divergence signals have appeared on almost all time frames from Weekly, Daily, H4... (Divergence does not mean the price will decrease. Divergence in the financial market In general, the forex market in particular reflects that buyers are no longer interested in high prices. However, there has been no profit-taking action, so the price divergence gives us a warning not to participate buy more, although the price may continue to break to new highs)
Notable technical levels are listed below.

Resistance: 2.613 – 2.582USD

The ART of sitting ON YOUR HANDSI was not always a bear... but my arms are tired of holding these Silver Bags for over a decade. I am still bullish! In the long long term ( ;
I am still holding a longterm SILJ short position ( see previous post ) but the immediate future is not clear. Will we get an explosive rally leading up to... during... or after the FOMC? I would not bet on it. The truth is however that nobody knows. As Ray Dalio says, "He who lives by the crystal ball will eat shattered glass"
The next few weeks will provide a challenge for market timers and speculators. I expect plenty of whipsaw and broken hearts before a trend is established (bullish or bearish).
I am waiting for a break of 29.83 to become a Bull and enter Long
I am waiting for a break of 26.67 to become a Bear (a big one) and enter Short
I strongly recommend waiting for a daily close over these levels before getting to comfortable unless you are prepared to keep a tight stop and run for the hills if either of these breaks turn out to be a trap.
Until then this range (in between the two levels will provide plenty of juicy scalping opportunities for cowboys like myself. I am using the .382 Fib level 28.10 (derived from the Oct 23 Low to the High in May 24) as my guiding light and BABB (Bullish above Bearish below) in the interim with TPs at my key break levels. They will be formidable resistance/support zones until broken and proven otherwise. Happy trading!
Achieving the target increase, highest GOLD of all timeOANDA:XAUUSD The increase reached all target levels sent to readers for many weeks and established a new era peak. The uptrend did not change both fundamentally and technically after PPI inflation data was published.
After the European Central Bank announced its monetary policy on Thursday and the United States released relevant macroeconomic data, spot gold prices rose to a record high and are currently maintaining their upward momentum. during the Asian trading session on September 13.
The European Central Bank cut interest rates on Thursday, but President Christine Lagarde downgraded expectations for another rate cut next month, saying the central bank will decide on policy action Next is based on economic data. The Euro has risen stronger than the USD and this is also an unfavorable impact for the USD.
Data released by the U.S. Department of Labor on Thursday showed that initial jobless claims for the week ended September 7 were 230,000, up 2,000 from the previous reporting period and higher than last year. Market expectation is 225,000.
Other data on Thursday showed the US Producer Price Index (PPI) rose 1.7% year-on-year in August, less than the 1.8% expected while core PPI rose 2.4% over the same period last year, also lower than the expected level of 2.5%.
The lower-than-expected PPI inflation data boosted market sentiment with more confidence that the Federal Reserve will cut interest rates significantly next week.
Analysis of technical prospects for OANDA:XAUUSD
On the daily chart, after gold achieved all of the target increases sent to readers in the multi-week issue at 2,531 – 2,544 USD, it set a new era record and continues to price increase.
In the immediate future, using trend-following Fibonacci extensions shows that the closest target level that gold can aim for is 2,582 USD, the Fibonacci 0.618% price point.
On the other hand, even if gold corrects lower, the losses will be limited by the 0.382% Fibonacci price point of $2,540, or more than $2,531.
However, the trend of gold in the short, medium and long term will still be price increase. As long as gold remains within the price channel, it still has short-term upside prospects with the EMA21 level being noted as key support for the time being.
During the day, the bullish outlook for scum prices will be noticed by the following technical levels.
Support: 2,544 – 2,540 – 2,531USD
Resistance: 2,582 – 2,600 – 2,612USD

XAUUSD: Makes a critical Bull Cross and aims at 2,650.Gold has turned completely bullish on its 1D technical outlook (RSI = 64.281, MACD = 19.680, ADX = 29.142) as it made a new All Time High today, extending the new bullish wave of the Channel Up. With the support of the 1D MA50, which is unbroken since July 3rd, we expect the extension of this wave as the 1D MACD is on its way to a Bull Cross. Since early June MACD Bull Crosses have come one after the other, the first priced Gold's bottom and the second confirmed it. Consequently, this is the most efficient level to buy and aim for a new +7.50% rise (TP = 2,650).

USD & GOLD Market Review September 12, 2024Real Volume Analysis of Gold in the Gold Future
=> Looking at the chart shows that the market is still very interested in the BULL position and especially the HIGH position at the peak.
Analyze Macroeconomic News with USD Chart
Yesterday we had CPI inflation data, important data to prepare for the September FOMC meeting next week.
What are the data announced yesterday?
- At a glance, we have good data for USD, when one index is higher than expected: 0.3 > 0.2
- But looking closely, we have conflicting data when a 3-star CPI index has lower actual data than before: 2.5 < 2.9
==> However, USD still increased and maintained a higher mark in the current week.
If combined with last week's NONFARM news, we have a rising price channel forming for the USD.
==> But because the CPI data is not standard, I predict that the USD cannot break to the top of 102. Instead, it only sideways around 101.5 and 101.9
SPDR Gold Trust Analysis
2 consecutive days this week, also the first transaction in September. SPDR Gold Trust continues to increase its gold reserves as GOLD continues to increase in price.
Comparing the SPDR and GOLD charts during the US session, we see that the trading volume is at the end of the session and at high prices.
==> Shows that SPDR is still increasing reserves at a high level
Gold Strength Analysis
GoldStrength chart compares to Gold.
GoldStrength is the valuation of Gold in many gold markets in many countries.
This is also the reason why we can see GoldStrength has a bullish breakout structure before GOLD.
Because countries are in the process of cutting interest rates, gold prices in countries such as EUR, GBP, CAD, AUD, USD, .... are increasing due to weakening local currencies.
That's why Gold and USD can increase in phase.
=> Gold Strength had breakthroughs earlier than current Gold.
After CPI, focus on PPI and GOLD towards targetOANDA:XAUUSD Spot trading recovered after falling in yesterday's trading session due to the impact of US data, but these impacts will not be too negative for gold's uptrend in terms of both fundamental and technical aspects. .
The US CPI report creates obstacles for the Fed's ability to cut interest rates by 50bps
• The U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics reported Wednesday that the U.S. consumer price index (CPI) rose 0.2% month-over-month in August, in line with market expectations.
• US CPI in August increased by 2.5% over the same period last year, decreasing for the 5th consecutive month, in line with market expectations and lower than the previous level of 2.9%.
• However, it is worth noting that core CPI in the United States increased 0.3% month-on-month in August, the largest increase in 4 months and a higher increase than the expected increase of 0.2%. . (Typically the core inflation rate reflects underlying inflation better than the overall CPI).
• US core CPI increased 3.2% year-on-year in August, in line with forecasts.
Higher-than-expected US core inflation data will become an issue for the Federal Reserve over the possibility of a 50 basis point interest rate cut in the next FOMC.
The focus now is on monthly core CPI data, which tends to raise concerns about persistent inflation. This could completely cause the FOMC to appear in the near future to oppose a strong interest rate cut, or no 50bps cut.
According to CME's "FedWatch" tool, markets now assess an 87% chance the Fed will cut interest rates by 25 basis points next week, compared with a 71% chance before the CPI data was released. This metaphor will change over time, especially after data is released, describing how market sentiment is leaning towards the Fed's interest rates.
Markets will now focus on the release of the US producer price index and initial jobless claims today (Thursday).
Basically, as we have sent to readers throughout recent publications, even if the impact of the data is not good, gold will still receive support from monetary policy, because the Fed will have to start the cycle. interest rate cut period.
Some readers have asked, how much will gold increase and when will it increase? I certainly will not be able to answer this question. But it can be easily seen that gold will still have conditions to increase until the Fed stops reducing interest rates, and when the Fed stops reducing interest rates, I don't know anymore because I have some friends in the US but don't. Who is Jerome Powell?
Analysis of technical prospects for OANDA:XAUUSD
On the daily chart, after gold corrected downward in yesterday's trading session and received support from the support confluence area noticed by readers at EMA21 and the lower edge of the price channel and the 0.786% Fibonacci extension, It has recovered and continued its short-term uptrend.
The target level and short-term upside structure are unchanged with a target of $2,531 in the short term, more than $2,544 to set a new all-time high.
The relative strength index RSI is pointing up, still quite far from the overbought level, showing that there is still wide room for price growth ahead.
During the day, gold's uptrend will be noticed again by the following technical levels.
Support: 2,503 – 2,500 – 2,484USD
Resistance: 2,531 – 2,544USD

CPI data focus, GOLD targets price increaseOANDA:XAUUSD Break above $2,500 and stabilize above this key raw price, which is beneficial to the uptrend and has been the target level that has been of interest to readers over the past several weeks. This trading day, notable is the US CPI data today and the European Central Bank policy meeting tomorrow.
Today (Wednesday), the US Consumer Price Index (CPI) report for August will be released. This will be the last important macro data before the Federal Reserve's interest rate meeting in September. Whether the Federal Reserve cuts interest rates by 50 basis points may depend on this .
Surveys show that the US annual core CPI growth rate in August is expected to decline from 2.9% to 2.6%, while the annual core CPI growth rate is expected to maintain at 3.2%.
If CPI increases from last month, US Treasury yields could rise again, putting gold under some pressure. On the other hand, if the data is at or below market expectations, it will cause the US Dollar to continue to sell off, helping gold move higher.
Unless CPI is much higher than expected, the Fed could cut interest rates by 25 basis points in September. If month-over-month CPI growth is lower than expected, a 50 basis point cut is possible. will happen.
Geopolitical risks have a new point
Israel may have 'accidentally killed' US activists in attack on Palestinian camp, leaving 19 dead.
Israel's military said Tuesday that a U.S. activist killed in the West Bank last week may have been shot "indirectly and unintentionally" by Israeli soldiers, a move that drew strong condemnation from U.S. Secretary of State Antony Blinken strong.
Israel said it has opened a criminal investigation into the murder of 26-year-old Seattle activist Aysenur Ezgi Eygi.
Blinken condemned the deadly shooting when asked about it at a news conference in London and said the United States would make clear to allies that such behavior was "unacceptable."
According to AP News, Palestinian officials said Israel attacked a crowded Palestinian camp in the Gaza Strip early Tuesday morning local time, killing at least 19 people and injuring 60 others.
Elsewhere, Reuters reported that Ukraine carried out its largest drone attack to date in the Moscow region on Tuesday, killing at least one person and destroying dozens of homes and businesses. forcing about 50 flights to be diverted from airports around Moscow.
Obviously, geopolitical risks are still present, and every time the market is quiet it appears as a huge supportive force for gold prices. Therefore, considering the current geopolitical context, gold is always supported, because gold is always the leading safe haven asset whenever risks appear in the market.
Analysis of technical prospects for OANDA:XAUUSD
On the daily chart, gold continues its uptrend with the previous two consecutive days of gains from the key near-term support area that has been presented to readers over the past several periods, at the EMA21 level confluence with the lower edge of the price channel and 0.786% Fibonacci Extension level.
On the other hand, the horizontal support level at 2,484 USD is also a reliable short-term support level for the uptrend.
There is not much change in the upward structure of gold prices, the multi-week target levels continue to be fixed at 2,531 USD in the short term and more at 2,544 USD.
The relative strength index RSI is also bent upward with a pretty good slope, this is a positive signal depicting the wide room for price growth ahead.
During the day, the rising prospect of gold prices will be noticed by the following technical levels.
Support: 2,503 – 2,500USD

GOLD recovers, pay attention to US CPI and PPIOANDA:XAUUSD recovered and increased in the early part of the week, following both the fundamental and technical trends sent to readers in weekly publications and publications throughout the past time. This week the market is still waiting for the US inflation report to further evaluate the interest rate direction of the US Federal Reserve.
Investors will now focus on US consumer price (CPI) data for August on Wednesday and producer price index (PPI) on Thursday.
If inflation data is much weaker than expected and raises expectations for a 50 basis point cut, gold prices will have enough fundamental momentum to aim for a new all-time record. But even if the market agrees to cut 25 basis points, gold prices will not decrease significantly because the Fed will definitely cut interest rates this September.
The situation in the Middle East remains tense, which creates momentum for gold prices to recover
According to Agence France-Presse, Israel's airstrike on central Syria on September 8, local time, killed at least 14 people.
According to Iranian media reported on September 8 local time, regarding the death of Hamas leader Haniyeh in the attack in Tehran, Commander of the Iranian Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps Hossein Salami said that day. Iran will certainly not let Israel carry out its evil actions. He reiterated that Iran's retaliatory measures will be very different.
Haniyeh was assassinated in Tehran, the capital of Iran, on July 31. Hamas and Iran determined that the assassination was carried out by Israel and Iran firmly vowed to retaliate. Israel has so far neither acknowledged nor denied Haniyeh's assassination.
Gold is a haven asset that is sensitive to geopolitical risks, so any new points that occur are a significant support for gold prices.
Gold ETFs increased their net gold holdings for the fourth consecutive month
• Gold ETFs increased their net gold holdings for the fourth consecutive month and funds in all regions saw net gold inflows, with Western funds leading the gains. Globally, gold ETF holdings increased by 28.5 tons of gold in August.
• According to the World Gold Council (WGC), strong movements in gold prices have led to the exercise of at-the-money call options on major gold ETFs, generating large capital inflows at expiration.
European funds had net inflows of 7.9 tons of gold, amounting to $362 million, with Swiss and British funds leading the increase, and the eurozone and safe-haven buying driving push gold prices up.
“Inflows related to foreign exchange hedging products have been significant, especially in Switzerland, against the backdrop of local currency appreciation against the US dollar,” the World Gold Council said. .
• The amount of gold flowing into Asian funds slowed down but still maintained positive growth for 18 consecutive months, reaching 0.3 tons.
India continues to lead gold capital flows into the region and reported its strongest month since April 2019. The recent reduction in import duties has boosted the Indian gold market.
Japan also reported significant capital inflows for the sixth consecutive month.
• Funds in other regions increased their holdings by 3.2 tons and gold holdings in the Australian ETF increased for three consecutive months.
Gold flows into ETFs could have a significant impact on global gold markets by boosting overall demand.
ETFs are a convenient way for investors to invest in the gold market, but owning an ETF also has many differences from holding physical gold.
Analysis of technical prospects for OANDA:XAUUSD
Although gold has had significant downward corrections, the recovery from the technical level of 2,484 USD to above the original price of 2,500 USD is positive signals for the uptrend.
In the short term, gold tends to increase with the price channel as the short-term trend and the nearest support is noticed at the 21-day moving average (EMA21).
As long as gold remains above the 0.786% trend Fibonacci extension, it still has enough upside prospects with a recent target at $2,531 in the short term and more than $2,544.
During the day, gold's uptrend will be noticed by the following technical levels.

Inflation data is the focus next week, GOLD closes above supportOANDA:XAUUSD fell on Friday (September 6), after closing in on a record hit earlier in the session after mixed US jobs data raised concerns about the scale of interest rate cuts in the decision. Federal Reserve decision later this month.
The U.S. Department of Labor reported that nonfarm payrolls increased by 142,000 in August, compared with estimates of 160,000. The July figure was also adjusted down to 89,000.
However, the unemployment rate was 4.2%, in line with expectations but down from 4.3% the previous month.
The gold market's central question is whether the Federal Reserve will cut interest rates by 50 basis points or 25 basis points on September 18. Interest rate reduction is almost certain.
According to CME Group's FedWatch tool, traders now see a 70% chance of a 25 basis point rate cut this month and a 30% chance of a 50 basis point rate cut.
Some notable comments from influential officials in the US Federal Reserve
• New York Fed President John Williams said lowering interest rates as quickly as possible will help keep the job market in balance.
• Federal Reserve Governor Christopher Waller also said “the time is right” for the US central bank to begin a series of interest rate cuts, adding that he is willing to accept the scale and pace of cuts reduce.
The upcoming US CPI report next week will provide a trend impact on gold prices. This is the final inflation report before the Fed's September 17-18 policy meeting and it will impact the size and pace of the Fed's interest rate cuts.
The Fed's path to cutting interest rates is a very important factor. Once the market prices in a path of rate cuts at a faster pace over a longer period of time, gold will continue to rebound over the longer term.
Economic data to watch next week
Wednesday: US consumer price index (CPI).
Thursday: ECB monetary policy decision, US PPI, US weekly unemployment claims
Friday: University of Michigan preliminary consumer confidence index
Analysis of technical prospects for OANDA:XAUUSD
On the daily chart, although gold fell in the last trading session last week, in general the short, medium and long-term uptrend is still not much affected.
Gold remains bullish in the short term with previous targets at $2,531 – $2,544 as long as it remains above EMA21 and within the trend price channel.
Once gold rises back above the 0.786% fibonacci extension it will be eligible to continue rising and the weekly close above the $2,484 technical level is also a positive technical signal.
The downward relative strength index is close to reaching the 50 level. The 50 level is considered a support if the RSI is above this level and this is also a signal that the downside space is no longer wide ahead.
In the immediate future, the technical trend of gold prices is still leaning towards the possibility of an increase with notable levels being listed as follows.

XAUUSD The 1D MA50 test is imminent.Three weeks ago (August 26, see chart below) we called that it was 'time to turn bearish short-term' on Gold (XAUUSD) as the price was approaching the top of its 3-month Channel Up:
Today we realize why as the price has turned sideways and can potentially one Bearish Leg to test the 1D MA50 (blue trend-line), which last time signaled the pattern's bottom (Higher Low).
This is why we keep our Sell Target unchanged at 2450, just above the 0.618 Fib and a revised Channel Up bottom line. After that, we will buy just before the 1D MACD forms its 2nd Bullish Cross, which as you can see, has been the most optimal confirmed Buy Signal within the Channel Up.

GOLD MARKET ANALYSIS AND COMMENTARY - [Sep 09 - Sep 13]This week, international gold prices fell from 2,507 USD/oz to 2,471 USD/oz in the first sessions of the week. After that, gold price recovered to 2,529 USD/oz, then dropped to 2,485 USD/oz and closed this week at 2,497 USD/oz.
Recent US economic data has played an important role in shaping developments in the gold market.
The US August jobs report fell short of expectations. While economists predicted 160,000 new jobs would be created in August, the actual number was only 142,000 jobs. However, the published data was lower than forecast but still higher than the previous period.
The US unemployment rate in August decreased slightly from 4.3% to 4.2%. But this is still high compared to the 3.8% rate recorded a year ago.
These labor market figures, along with recent US inflation reports, have reinforced expectations that the Fed is about to cut interest rates. This prediction is further fueled by Fed Chairman Jerome Powell's statement at the Jackson Hole Conference on August 24, in which he noted that it is time for monetary policy to adjust.
In the medium and long term, many economic experts believe that gold prices will increase sharply because the more the FED cuts interest rates, the more the USD and US Treasury bond yields will weaken, increasing the appeal of gold. . Furthermore, central banks have been and are continuing to buy gold reserves.
Technically, there is no debate about the uptrend of gold as the Weekly time frame technical chart clearly shows this. However, this rising wave is reaching the resistance level around the fibo expansion mark at fibo 161.8. In theory, it is possible that the price reaching this mark will have reversal phases, which are corrective declines to consolidate the uptrends. next bullish period. The next fibo milestone will be around 2,590-3,000 usd/oz.
Next week, the market will pay attention to US August CPI data, and the European Central Bank's (ECB) monetary policy meeting.
📌Currently, considering the H4 technical chart, the gold price is still moving sideways in a wide range, specifically fluctuating from 2,470 - 2,530 usd/oz. If the resistance level of 2530 is broken, in the immediate future the gold price will rise around the round resistance level of 2600. In case the support level of 2470 is broken, the gold price will fall back to around the threshold of 2,430 USD/oz.
Notable technical levels are listed below.

Resistance: 2.484 – 2.470USD

Outlook for new era level, most important data of the weekOANDA:XAUUSD remains in a strong uptrend after yesterday's breakout, an outlook for a new bull run and weekly target levels. On this trading day, the market will receive the most important data of the week and will create major fluctuations in the entire financial market in general, and the gold market in particular.
On Thursday, as weak US ADP jobs data weighed on the US Dollar, gold futures broke out strongly towards the weekly target level.
The United States releases the ADP jobs report on Thursday, showing private sector employment rose by a seasonally adjusted 99,000 in August, a new low since January 2021, lower many expected and months before.
Today (Friday), the market will receive the US nonfarm payrolls report for August.
Surveys show the number of nonfarm workers in the United States is expected to increase by a seasonally adjusted 160,000 in August, following an increase of 114,000 in July.
Investors also need to closely monitor US unemployment data. Surveys show the US unemployment rate is expected to fall to 4.2% from 4.3% in August.

Gold, copper, silver: A hard or soft-landing conundrumMetals were all lower on Tuesday as investors braced for a hard-landing scenario. But not all metals fell equally. We take a look at gold, silver and copper to sort the longs from the shorts, depending on which variant of an economic landing we could be facing.
GOLD → Change of Mood (local). Correction phaseFX:XAUUSD is breaking the structure of the ascending channel amid the counter-trend correction of the dollar (fundamental reasons). Price closes in the range of 2526 - 2477, what could this mean?
On D1, the market is bullish both locally and globally. But, fundamentally and geopolitically the situation is slightly changing, which favorably affects the dollar exchange rate, against which gold goes into a local phase of correction. There is low liquidity in the market today due to the closed US market.
On H1, the focus is on the resistance 2505 - 2510, sma. False breakdown and price consolidation below these zones will confirm the absence of bullish potential, which may lead to price correction towards the lower boundary of the key range.
Support levels: 2483 (D1), 2493, 2477
Resistance levels: 2505, 2510, sma
The focus is on the global range 2526 - 2477, the price continues to trade inside and does not hint at a possible exit from this channel, accordingly, it is best to use the inturidian trading strategy. The main target is liquidity below the key support zones

SELL XAUUSDEarlier I shared to sell XAUUSD but since the market haven't reached our entry, and it came to our BB, that means the market is now heading towards the liquidity area to make the next move.

SILVER'S TIME to TAKE BREATHER Fundamentals:
Bricks buying and geopolitical tensions have kept Gold price elevated pulling up the silver price with it. I believe the Bricks meeting this Sept to be a selling event given that all of the purchase goals (for now) will be met by the meeting. Gold is the stronger of the two metals. I am leaning short Gold but I think silver has more downside potential given recessionary woes (industrial applications).
Seasonal and Election: Looking back Sept-Oct are typically down months for metals.
Technicals: The price is now up against heavy supply zone and major $30 psychological level.
There is a head and shoulders pattern (4r) forming inside of a much larger head and shoulders pattern (2day) (See previous post). At the moment the price has failed to pop back up above the 4hr MA. It may recover. However, I will be selling into strength inside of the the supply zone with a stop on a 2day close above the $30.50 level.
Fed Thoughts: The market has all but priced in a rate cut at this point. Every movement this year has been predicated on them (despite never materializing). I am of the belief that the cut itself will be a selling event regardless of whether or not we get a short lived rally.
Expression: Given that I am skeptical on equities and bearish Silver I will be shorting SILJ given that it has a history of outperforming to the downside on Silver draw downs. In addition, the upside/risk is limited (as much as it can be haha). Major funds are not investing in juniors. They have and will put capital into majors like GOLD and NEM if metals continue to push higher. In addition, miners are not experiencing the upward pressure that Gold and Silver have because central banks and foreign buyers (the reason for the rally in metals) are NOT buying miners, they are buying physical metal. PAAS is also a strong short candidate. It is a basket case (major earnings miss) and will outperform to the downside.
