GLDUSD
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.
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.
GLD: Sandbox ⛱After the hard work of finishing wave iv in magenta, we expect GLD to play a bit in the yellow sandbox between $150.72 and $140.40, all the while completing wave (4) in yellow. Then, it should get down to business again – or rather get up to business, as we expect GLD to climb northwards, crossing the resistance at $171.23. There is a 35% chance, though, that GLD could rise above this mark directly and without amusing itself in the yellow sand.
Gold Possible Next MoveHard to say to short Gold given the circumstances, but a potential put option may be in play in the short term. Have to see if it keeps getting rejected or not.

- 0.71 Delta (ITM)
- Cost = $12.10/ contract

Rationale:

- GLD can also act as a potenital hedge against other market long positions (MJ for example) should we experience a market pullback in Q1
- Bullish MACD cross and moving averages cross
- Longer dated options give more flexibility in allowing the trade to develop, also gives us the ability to roll the contract to lock in profit and stay in the trade
- GLD has had quite a nice move up recently and is at the 3 ATR on the daily, so a slight easing is possible, but any ease should not take us below our stop, if this breakout has any legs

Gold Summary for End Week 4 - 2019Gold finally showing direction, but will it last...
So last week I suggested gold was treading water looking for direction. Well a mighty push up of $22 on Friday seems to have confirmed it has found a positive direction, but will it continue?
On a technical basis there are issues as can be seen from the notes on the chart above. On a fundamental basis there are also other issues, strangely the fact that not only did gold finish the week higher, but also oil and stocks. The US$ did close a little weaker, but it still leaves an unanswered query.
That said, further concerns over Brexit in the UK, the on/off situation with the shut-down in the US and slowing global growth may offer support. Nevertheless, the flat bottomed kumo looks to have a lot of pull.
