GLD short term short, long term bull trend intactGLD was in a down trend from March 22 until early November 22
Since GLD broke that trend it has turn former resistance into support with confirmation
on Jan 13 GLD broke through the next reistance zone around 175 and is now peaking at almost 180$
even though on Jan 17 and 18 GLD traded down and then came back strong on Jan 19 it still needs to come back and visit this former resistance for confirmation.
ADX over 20 indicates strong trend, here on the 1 day it is 40 with the +DI (green) in bullish spread (40 v 13)
50 day DEMA crossed the 200 day DEMA in late November
The price has gotten far above the 50 day DEMA, another clue that a short term correction is in order.

What takes gold into $2k ??With the weakness in the USD - where the DXY holds the potential to crack the consolidation lows and EURUSD looks to break the 1.0875 and 1.0750 range - married with the grind lower in US real rates (lower pane) - we’re seeing new cycle highs in gold.
A range break in the DXY would certainly be helpful in the quest to push price to $2000, which is the big target for the bulls ahead of the ATH of $2075 – given where XAU 1-week implied vols sit the market prices with about a 5% chance of a move to the big number this coming week, so one for another time and perhaps post FOMC meeting (1 Feb).
Slower US growth is gold’s friend here and a hedge against a recession means long USTs, and gold appreciation.
Are we sufficiently overbought?
We're certainly heading that way but I'd argue the elastic band hasn’t been sufficiently pulled just yet. Here we see price now 6.7% premium to the 50-day MA which is lofty as you can see below, but we can get a far higher probability of mean reversion when price holds a 10% premium to the average.
So watching USD flows in what will be a quiet week of data next week - also real rates for a move into the 2 Dec low of 1.10% - should we see both scenarios' play out then gold could push to $2k - but the risk of a pullback within the bullish trend and prior to price hitting $2k is clearly rising, although we expect drawdowns to be contained
GLD: Hit the Brakes ✋🛑Almost there! GLD should slam on the brakes and wrap up the blue wave (i). After completion, we expect the course to dip into the blue target zone between $162.26 and $155.58 to fulfill the corrective low of the blue wave (ii). Once achieved, the GLD is good to go and should rise back North.
Here comes the BIG SCARE!The return of oil.
I could explain why but its all fake so it doesn't really matter.
Here comes the clowns, to bring in the next act. Unemployed clowns....
Do you like your job? Well enjoy it while you can
Rates raise = Unemployment raise = Rates fall = Unemployment raises more = commodities fall
Lets watch unemployment raise and see if im right
My Position
60 Petrobras calls $11 Strike January 27th. Then lets roll them forward till March.
The Gold Odyssey - Down and then Uppish Part IIFrom the last post, I took a second look, and zoomed out a lot more. Then I found another set of reasons for the down and uppish outlook that I can share with everyone...
You see, it appears that there is a set of similar technical conditions that occurred in December 2018, that also presented similarly in December 2022.
From a recent double top lower high stalling consolidation range, about 7-8 months later, the technical indicators present a similar upside trigger, which includes a breakout above the 23 week EMA, that is accompanied with MACD and VolDiv crossovers. Noted similar up triangle triggers that represent underlying combination of certain technical indicator conditions.
Furthermore, at the current time, it can be well expected that the price action should be checking in with the 23 week EMA before the real bullish rally launch.
Now, this may take till May to form up and then launch. So heads up, watch MAy 2023 for Gold prices to rally.
GDX coiling againIt has been a while since it would be even worth to look into GDX, and I think it is about time... still early, but good to plan ahead and see if it is working out as projected.
GDX (Gold miners) mounted a good recovery but stalled on a trend line and retracement is likely to see 27, else 25.
The technical indicators (MACD and VolDiv) are turning bullish, but not just ripe yet. Expecting a higher low about 25-27 (red ellipse is the optimistic target; also the 62% retracement level) in early to mid January 2023. Bouncing off the 23-week EMA would be a good indicator that the projection is in line.
So... being optimistic for a comeback, but until the pullback is apparent, sitting on my hands first.
Happy Boxing Day!
The Gold Odyssey - Down and then UppishGold recovered in recent weeks since November, but appears to have met resistance.
MACD and VolDiv are indicating a bullish technical backdrop, but the price action of the weekly candlesticks are indecisive in breaking out.
Expecting a retracement, and then a later bullish break out in Jan, or more likely in Feb 2023.
This one needs time to bake...
Gold in a supercycleCould we be mid-way through a super-cycle in gold? Could we?
Judging by the news we are seeing a slow decline in the PetroDollar, which is a fiat currency built on trust and the number of nuclear weapons. This military power is denominated in Dollars, which used to be tracked in gold. Regardless of what the Crypto fanboys call out, there is only one money, and that is Gold, everything else is currency.
Are we about to see a massive surge in Gold as currency all over the world derates to make up for all the surge in prices and workers wanting take home more money?
NOTE: This is a 12months line chart, it could take 5-10 years before the surge represents itself....
Silver Breaking Out (upward). Gold/Platinum should followGold/Silver bugs - are you ready for what a lot of us have been saying for the past 5+ years. The base/bottom in metals back in 2015 was the critical base for the next big move. This upward price swing should be the next accumulation phase which will drive a speculative phase in about 3~4+ years.
That speculative phase will be MASSIVE (should happen near 2027~2029).
You gotta love when the world sits and waits for metals to move - then ignores the 40% rally in metals/miners in the early phase - right?
Here we go.
GLD SPDR two bullish breakout patterns in one!W Formation has formed and the price has broken above recently.
We then have a larger Cup and Handle forming, which the price is now completing the Brim Level.
This market is correlating well with Gold and seems to be lagging the current Gold rally. This means, we can expect upside for GLD very soon.
My first target is $174.68
More upside on Gold and Gold ETF While Gold fell yesterday due to interest hike fears and China's economy.
I believe the Gold still has more upside.
Currently, looking at gold miners ETF. Believe that it might fall to support level ($26 area) and bounce back higher.
Aiming for around the $ 30 area..
However, should it break $26, I will exit my trade.
$SLV Pullback?SLV has shot up again in the past couple of weeks. After taking a look its a bid extended from the 20,50,100 day MAs on the daily chart. Volume hasn't been anything significant and its facing a long standing trendline. Dollar has also been melting down which is a nice catalyst for SLV but eventually the dollar should find some support near term imo. I expect SLV to cool off over the next week or so and get somewhere near that orange line marked. Not an exact science but somewhere nearby. I think it will take feds actually pivoting to really send SLV into a breakout that people have been waiting years for. Just my opinion open to hearing others! Not financial advice. AMEX:SLV
Gold is at resistance. Is it time to short?Hello everyone! As Pelosi is going to Taiwan, things could get ugly between China and the US, sending gold higher. However, gold is currently at key resistance, and the quadruple/quintuple bottom lower will most likely break. For a while, I've mentioned how I believe gold will go to 1650 and potentially down to 1300 before it bottoms. There are many different forces at play here, and although I think gold will go higher in the long term, it looks like it will be headed lower in the short time. Therefore my first target is the 1640 support of the Yearly S2 pivot; without that meaning, I'd want to go long there. I'd only want to go long if the price reclaims the broken quadruple bottom and bet on a short-term bounce.
How high and how low can Gold go in this cycle?In my honest opinion Gold will head much much higher in the next decade, and the double top at 2070 is bound to break. In the short term it also looks fairly bullish as it has reclaimed several key support levels, along with the 200-400 DMAs and the diagonal trendline. Getting up to 1900-1920 over the next few days or weeks definitely seems possible.
However in the medium term it isn't clear whether it is ready to resume higher. To me it looks more likely that Gold will get to 1600 and maybe even 1300 before getting to 3000. The quadruple bottom at 1670 looks vulnerable, as so does the triple bottom at 1450, while the 1300-1350 looks like a massive magnet. The market never retested that breakout and it could certainty revisit it before going higher.
But how could gold go lower if inflation remains high? Well inflation has been high for a while now, and yet Gold is still sitting below its 2011 ATHs. Central bank balance sheets have exploded, and yet gold remains quiet. In my opinion this has to do with several things, that could range from manipulation up to a strong dollar. Central banks are cornered and not many governments are profitable enough to add gold to their balance sheets. Some will potentially be forced to sell in order to support their currencies. As energy and food go higher, bonds yields will go higher, and therefore more opportunities will arise outside of gold. Being long oil is probably a better inflation hedge than being long gold. At the same time higher inflation forces people to sell stuff in order to cover their extra costs, and that includes gold. People bought gold as insurance for a period of high inflation, and now they need to exercise that option. Finally, as bond yields go up, if the dollar also goes up, then this could seriously harm gold. If the USD appreciates too fast along with interest rates going higher, then gold could collapse along with most other assets in the case of a liquidity squeeze.
In conclusion, I don't believe inflation is fully under control, I don't think we are done with QE and low rates by Central banks, however I do think that gold isn't ready for prime time yet. Gold is in a weird spot both fundamentally and technically, so I'd need to see a more bullish price action in order to be convinced that 3000 will come before 1300.
