XAUUSD: Technical pull back after bullish breakout. Buy.Gold made the expected bottom and rebound on the 1D MA100 and crossed over the LH of the May corrective wave. It also broke over the 4H MA50 with technicals turning bullish just before today's pull back that brought them back to neutral (RSI = 44.078, MACD = 2.520, ADX - 28.652). This is a standard technical pull back for Support retesting after a bullish breakout. The price remains inside the High Fluctation Zone of 1,951 - 1,984.65. The 4H RSI is nearing the bottom of its Channel Up and that is an early buy signal for XAUUSD. If the price bottoms here and forms a Channel Up then we will buy and target its top (TP = 2,000).

Gold and stocks are showing more signs of decouplingAfter expressing our concerns about gold's rally in early May 2023, we saw it tumble as low as $1,932.11 just two days ago. Since this low, gold’s price rebounded above $1,970 and then weakened again. Currently, it trades near $1,955 per troy ounce. That brings us to a similar assessment as in our previous article, and we will pay attention to the two closest levels of importance, particularly near $1,952 (support) and $1,959 (resistance). If the price breaks below the support, it will be bearish for the short-term; contrarily, if it breaks and holds above the resistance, it will be bullish. Regarding technical indicators on the daily time frame, we are observing MACD, which is slightly flattening; if it starts turning to the upside (and eventually breaks above the midpoint), it will be a bullish sign. The same applies to rising RSI and Stochastic (and also to converging DM+ and DM-). As for our current stance, we continue to be worried about gold’s performance in the short term as it is still possible that more downside will follow. Despite that, there is one development we are starting to notice increasingly more. Last year, when the stock market was declining, it weighed on gold, which saw investors taking profits in order to cover losses elsewhere. As of late, however, gold has been sold off as the stock market turned into this “complacency” phase, with approximately six companies dragging the whole U.S. market higher. We plan to be attentive to this decoupling, as it might be a very important development for gold going forward, and we can start seeing it perform well despite stocks selling off. Illustration 1.01 Illustration 1.01 shows the daily chart of XAUUSD. The yellow arrow indicates a bearish crossover between the 20-day SMA and the 50-day SMA. We will pay close attention to volume. If it continues to decline, that might suggest that the selling pressure is cooling off.

Gold: Splish Splash 💦🫧Splish splash, I was taking a bath, Long about a Saturday night, yeah. A rub dub, just relaxing in the tub, Thinking everything was alright. Like Bobby Darlin in his song, gold should also take a refreshing bath in the turquoise zone between $1840 and $1713 soon. Therefore, it must drop below the support at $1936 to gain further downwards momentum. Thus refreshed, the precious metal should leave the turquoise zone on the southern side and continue the descent until the low of wave (4) in yellow is established. However, there is a 30% chance that gold could finish wave alt.2 in turquoise instead and subsequently rise from the turquoise zone to start an upwards movement, which should carry it back above $1936.

Gold's struggle ahead?In the last article, we expressed a bullish bias for gold in the long term. However, we also noted that we could not ignore certain worrying signs that were putting us on a high alert in the short term; in particular, we mentioned 20-day SMA and 50-day SMA closing the gap and low volume accompanying the price higher. Since then, the price of gold has slumped from $2,027 to $1,955, representing approximately a 3.5% decline. At the moment, a significant development we are closely tracking is whether the 20-day SMA drops beneath the 50-day SMA; if yes, then it will bolster the bearish case in the short-term/medium-term. Besides that, we also pay close attention to the support levels at $1,959 and $1,952; if the price breaks below them, it will be bearish for the short term. Contrarily, if the supports halt the selling pressure, it will be positive for gold. As for some other developments on the daily chart, we are watching RSI and MACD, which are both bearish; in fact, MACD broke below the midpoint, which suggests more downside for the short-term. Consequently, we stay on high alert. In regard to the price target on the downside, we abstain from setting one as we deem it difficult to assess. But, in our opinion, the $1,925 or $1,900 (and potentially even $1,875) price tags are not out of reach. Because of that, we think it is still prudent to wait for a better price and stay on the sidelines. Illustration 1.01 The picture above shows the daily chart of XAUUSD. Yellow arrows indicate gold’s failures to overtake all-time highs.

Gold reaffirms its position of "safe heaven"In the current financial landscape, gold continues to emerge as a resilient asset, demonstrating impressive growth year to date. With an 11% increase in value thus far, gold's performance surpassed last year's modest 1.3% gain during the same period. This remarkable appreciation can be attributed to a combination of multiple factors, including economic uncertainty, inflationary pressures, and investor sentiment. As the world grapples with these challenges, gold continues to solidify its position as a safe haven for investors seeking stability and a hedge against financial turbulence. Moreover, the ongoing strength of this precious metal reaffirms its enduring appeal as a strategic investment choice in an unpredictable global economy. While we maintain a bullish stance on gold in the long term, we must also consider the potential impact of stock market fluctuations on gold prices. As seen in previous instances, a weakening stock market can weigh on the price of gold, much like it did last year. With this in mind, we believe it would be prudent for investors to wait for a significant pullback in the price before adding more to their positions. In our previous article, we highlighted the deviation of gold's price from its 50-day Simple Moving Average (SMA), which could have foreshadowed a retracement toward this indicator. Since then, the price has remained highly volatile, yet it has failed to retrace toward the 50-day SMA; in fact, the price and 50-day SMA have been gradually closing this gap. Nevertheless, we will continue to closely monitor key metrics, such as the 50-day and 20-day SMAs, along with trading volume, which has been declining since May 4th, 2023, when gold nearly broke above an all-time high. The decreasing volume is not particularly bullish and puts us on high alert. Illustration 1.01 Illustration 1.01 shows the daily chart of XAUUSD.

Gold: Shaken, not stirred 🍸Like James Bond, gold seems to prefer shaking to stirring, as its recent movements suggest. In the course of wave B in turquoise, the metal has been bucketed about quite thoroughly and still has got some room left to expand the current ascent. As soon as wave B in turquoise is finished, though, gold should turn downwards and resume the overarching descent by developing wave (4) in yellow. However, there is a 35% chance that the precious metal could use the turquoise zone between TADAWUL:1830 and HKEX:1709 as an early exit, completing wave alt.2 in turquoise and shifting upwards from there.

Gold Shines as Nasdaq DeclinesGold glows as risk blows. Multiple bank failures and shotgun bank marriages are bringing back scary memories of 2008. Amid gloom, demand for gold blooms. Gold is a resilient store of wealth, offers durable portfolio diversification, exhibits lower volatility relative to equities, and serves as an inflation hedge. As described in our last paper , among the six ways of investing in gold, CME COMEX's Gold Futures ("Gold Futures") is most optimal among them. This paper is set in two parts. Part 1 delves into Gold Futures. Part 2 articulates a spread trade case study comprising of long gold and short Nasdaq yielding a reward to risk ratio >1.4x . COMPREHENDING GOLD FUTURES AND ITS PARTICIPANTS Gold Futures is the world’s most liquid gold derivatives. Fifty billion USD notional is traded daily on average. This leads to unrivalled bid-ask spreads enabling investors to gain capital efficient exposure to the price of gold. Launched in 1974 and trading over nearly 50 years, Gold Futures offer tight correlation to physical gold prices. Gold Futures trade 23 hours a day. Trading starts every Sunday 5pm Chicago Time (6am Monday in Singapore) to Friday 4pm Chicago time (5am Saturday in Singapore) providing near round-the-clock access. Gold Futures provide superior capital efficiency with a leverage of nearly 25x at current prices. Gold Futures come in two sizes. Each lot of the full contract provides exposure to 100 oz. of Gold requiring $8,000 in margins per lot. However, each lot of Micro Gold contract delivers 10 oz. of gold price exposure. Micro contracts which require only $800 per lot in margins provides affordable access to investors while helping hedgers fine-tune their risk management strategies with more precious exposure. When trading spreads, investors can further boost return through margin credits. Broadly speaking, investors, hedgers, and speculators form the active participants in the gold futures market. Hedgers use futures to manage their overall gold portfolio risk exposure. They use derivatives to lock in price for future transactions or to effectively hedge against price fluctuations. Speculators participate in Gold Futures with the intent of punting on gold price moves to generate profits. Investors use gold futures for generating return on capital over an extended period. They tend to focus on underlying fundamentals rather than short-term price movements. All three types of market participants are essential for effective financial market operation. Together they help build deep liquidity pools thereby facilitating robust price discovery. GOLD IS SET TO OUTSHINE NASDAQ The Nasdaq Index comprises of one hundred large and most actively traded U.S firms listed on the Nasdaq exchange. The index includes firms from a variety of industries except financials. These include tech, health care, retail, biotech, and industrial companies. The index is weighted by market capitalisation. During risk-off phases, investors rush to shelter in safe-havens. Gold prices rise. Also, when rates rise, companies whose values hinge on future distant cash flows suffer. As those cash flows get discounted at steeper rates diminishing its present value, share prices plunge. As risks and rates rise & remain high, Gold will outperform Nasdaq. Validating this view is the positioning of participants based on CFTC’s Commitment of Traders (COT) report dated March 13th. It shows that managed money and speculators are net long on Gold. COT report of the same date shows that leveraged funds are net short in the CME E-Mini Nasdaq-100 futures. However, asset managers remain net long. The options market also vindicates the above views. Options on Gold Futures have a put/call ratio of 0.6x which signifies bullishness in gold. For every 10 bullish gold investors, there are only 6 bearish ones. However, for Nasdaq, options exhibit a put/call ratio of 2x meaning that for every 10 bullish Nasdaq investors, there are 20 bearish ones. Is a long position in Gold Futures a solid trade? Questionable, given that gold has rallied 10% since the start of banking crises. Current gold prices are overbought based on RSI. If crisis deepen, gold may continue its ascent. However, if market gains comfort from bailout assurances, gold prices will soften. Therefore, a directional long position in gold is beset with risk. However, as rates continue to rise or remain high, Nasdaq will struggle as growth firms get punished with discounted present value. Hence, this case study argues that a spread trade to long gold & short Nasdaq will deliver a compelling positive yield. Yes, growth stocks in Nasdaq have outperformed gold over the past twenty years. Yet, these stocks will struggle during times of crisis and elevated rates. The Gold-Nasdaq Ratio (“GNR”) had a golden crossover in January 2022 as equities came off its peak with rates rising. Since then, long-term (200-day) moving average has been a strong support for GNR. With GNR trading above this level, it provides investors a compelling spread trading opportunity with strong upside and limited downside. A long position in CME Micro Gold Futures expiring in June 2023 (MGCM3) provides exposure to 10 oz of Gold with a minimum margin requirement of $800 per lot. Each contract of MGCM3 represents a notional of $19,940. A short position in CME Micro E-mini Nasdaq-100 Futures expiring in June 2023 (MNQM3) provides exposure to $2 x Nasdaq-100 index with a minimum margin requirement of $1,680 per lot. Each contract of Micro Nasdaq-100 represents a notional of $25,750. Spread trade requires notional values of each leg to be identical. Therefore, a long position of five lots of MGCM3 is required to offset a short position of four contracts of MNQM3 . Margin offsets are available for this spread. The trade entry, target, stoploss, and reward to risk ratio are set out below: • Entry: 15.27% • Target: 16.90% • Stop: 14.20% • Profit at Target: $10,172 • Loss at Stop: $7,230 • Reward-to-Risk Ratio: 1.4x MARKET DATA CME Real-time Market Data helps identify trading set-ups and express market views better.

A Profitable Gold Trading Strategy Gold has reached the TP line near 1986 today, and long positions around 1975 have gained a complete victory! Currently, the candlestick is oscillating near 1978, with a small support at 1974 below, followed by 1963. A simple breakthrough provides an opportunity for us to go long, but if the body falls below, the nature changes and the support becomes resistance, making it difficult for bulls to achieve higher targets. The area near 1974 is currently the key focus. As long as it doesn't break, the bulls remain in a strong position. If it quickly falls below, it also provides an opportunity for a rebound. In the case of a slow decline, it is difficult to quickly determine the direction. The short opportunity point is near 1994-2000, and the long opportunity point is near 1963-1966. Both positions provide highly profitable opportunities once reached. For the 1974-1986 range, as long as it doesn't break through unidirectionally, the trading strategy is still buying low and selling high. If you are trading gold, crude oil, bitcoin, and forex, please follow me and become my friend. I will provide you with the most suitable trading strategies from the most professional perspective!

Gold: short, target 1920 Gold fluctuated in the box today, and the volatility was significantly lower than last week and the beginning of this week. At present, it is the digestion stage after the sharp drop. If it can rise and break through the box, there is a high probability that it can touch the resistance near 1957-1961. However, judging from the current situation, the possibility of a breakthrough is unlikely, but the probability of falling below the 1933 support level of the box is relatively high. Therefore, in terms of trading strategy, I think shorting gold has a higher probability of profit. If you have sufficient funds, you can set the targets at 1928, 1923, and 1915 respectively.
