Gold gains with low NFP dataHello Traders TGIF, After having our profits shorting XAUUSD, Today low nonfarm payroll data showed US Economy is not ready to reach expected rebound. Gold seemed to finish its correction period and ready to gain momentum to reach my long term targets. Price should stay above 4H MA50 priced 1895 right now. I opened my long position at 1875 and my short term target is 1945. I will follow up the price action until market close. Trade safe and have fun! Remember to like and comment what you think. Have a lovely weekend.

Using Longer-Term Correlation to Predict MarketsIn the chart above, I display a daily chart of gold at the top, followed by the graphical 90-day correlation coefficients between gold and various asset classes. I do this kind of analysis at times when I feel a major inflection point is incoming. It is very handy when everything is moving quickly, since you can make the right choice after the dust settles. Moreover, you can anticipate what will happen and get into positions during the brief period of pandemonium. I will say from experience that being on the right side of certain markets before the final directions are determined is perhaps the most profitable way to trade markets. It is also extremely difficult to do and requires a thorough analysis of each major interrelated asset that is involved. In my opinion, and based on these correlation readings, I am essentially bullish on gold, bearish/neutral on everything else. And, when you really think about it, it makes a ton of sense. Let me explain briefly. I am not sure how anyone qualifies an asset class as "overbought," but just a quick glance at any equity index's monthly chart should be enough. All of them are so overbought that I do not feel the need to substantiate the claim with an indicator reading of any kind. The same goes for Crypto, except double. DXY and Oil are historically quite inversely correlated, and would imagine that they diverge as a result of a crypto-induced equities selloff. That's right - amazingly enough, it seems that the "safe haven" known as Bitcoin is actually what is holding equities up so high on the backend. I think. In any case, I hope this serves trading society well as volatilty soon approaches. -CorrPigEarningsMiss TVC:GOLD TVC:SPX TVC:DXY CURRENCYCOM:OIL_CRUDE BITSTAMP:BTCUSD

029. Metallic Mean Reversion: Long Gold/Short CopperWell, well, well.. what an interesting setup we have here in the realm of the metals. It seems that confusion regarding inflation may have caused price overshoots in different directions for different metals. Two of such that glare out to me are Gold and Copper. I will structure the write-up of this Pig-Play a bit differently this time due to the inherent complexity of this trade, and more importantly because either half of this strangle can be taken successfully, in and of itself. While I find this particular situation to be blatantly weird (and thus near-technical arbitrage), either commodity is trading so far away from its respective mean that both plays should work wonders individually. Henceforth, while I recommend taking both plays simultaneously, I will outline each in different sections - in case one mean reversion is enough for you. LONG GOLD (GLD): As the chart suggests, Gold and its major ETF, GLD, have been consolidating in a comical fashion for too many months. In fact, I decided to perform a little accounting to determine what the fair price of Gold is after the most recent trillion-dollar stimulus print. The calculation and subsequent "should be" price are as follows: _______________________________________________________________________________ Data as of February 2021: USD in Circulation: 21.0006 Trillion United States (Monopoly) Dollars (www.quandl.com) Troy Ounces of Gold Mined: ~147.30 Million Troy Ounces (www.gold.org) _______________________________________________________________________________ Data as of March 2021: USD in Circulation: 21.0006 T + 1.9 T = 22.9006 Trillion USD; Post-Biden Print Troy Ounces of Gold Mined: ~147.30 M + ~0 = 147.30 Million Troy Ounces; Essentially Unchanged (www.commonsensemath.com) _______________________________________________________________________________ Gold USD/OZ Today: 1736 $/oz "Should Be" Price of Gold Post-Print: 22.9006 Trillion USD/147.30 Million Ounces = 3285.93 $/oz _______________________________________________________________________________ In conclusion, based on hard data, simple math, and basic accounting principles, Gold should be recognized at 3285.93 USD per troy ounce by the market and all of its participants. Yet, after the stimulus announcement, the price of Gold did not, in fact, immediately jump to over 3k/oz. No, instead it decreased and (hopefully) bottomed below 1700.oz. That, my piggish friends, is called fucking stupidity. In final conclusion, Gold is due for a mean reversion to around 1850ish in the near term, so its ETF, GLD, should get to around 175.00 in no time. See the chart for entry and two profit taking points. GLD PIG SPECS: Buy Long Calls: 164 Strike, 4/16/2021 Expiration Reasoning: Extreme likelihood of mean reversion back to 175 that has not been recognized by the options market yet. The proof is in the pricing: 164 Strike is relatively the same price as 167-169, so its 3 extra dollars of free delta in your pocket. ______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ SHORT COPPER (CPER): I will not be performing any basic calculations for this one. In opposition to Gold, and mostly for extreme oversold conditions, Copper has ripped higher in a straight line for many weeks now (this market is so fucked up these days). The degree to which Copper, and other such earth metals, have had deeply depressed prices for several years is something akin to statistical impossibility. Frankly, they have been quite manipulated downward a la futures short selling, but I will not lecture about this today. Bottom line is that Copper's run upward is, in my opinion, purely technical rebalancing. As with all things market-related these days, it overshot the mean by a country mile. Thus, the chart suggests that a very simple and predictable C-Wave down should be expected to begin in the next session or two. Since the dollars/share to the downside is pretty limited for this trade, I'd stick with at the money puts for a short flip. See the chart for entry/exits and below for Pig Specs: CPER PIG SPECS: Buy Long Puts: 25 Strike, 04/09/2021 Expiration OR Short Equity Directly at 24.83/Share Reasoning: Chart says it all, but the one factor that should illicit confidence is the purely technical, precise nature of this move down. It also provides same-week expiration opportunities such that I am actually recommending purchasing put contracts that are slightly in the money. ______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ The cool parts about doing both of these trades simultaneously are: 1) You get a high probability of profiting in both directions; 2) Both commodities often travel in the same direction because both are metals that negatively correlate with dollar strength, all else equal. This means that you get a natural hedge baked in; 3) Due to general, market-wide idiocy, both metals have been severely oversold (bought) to the point where each basically must mean revert to some extent during the same timeframe; 4) The precise nature of the Copper trade allows for a slight calendar strangle as a final cherry on top. I don't know about you, but I feel even more convinced after doing so much simple math. In any case, it should be clear that the commodities market is offering up opportunities while the stock market isn't and I intend to exploit it piggishly. -PigFourAccountant OANDA:XAUUSD TVC:GOLD AMEX:GLD MCX:GOLD1!

$2,300 Gold?Here's what I know: - Gold is in an uptrend - It put in a nearly perfect 50% retracement - Good support at ~$1,760 What to look for: - break of the trend line...ideally two bars closing above with a touchback. - further weakening of the USD What to do? - Start adding long positions now with stop loss around $1,750. - Add to long position with break of trend line. - Once the trend line is broken as per above, move stop loss to just below low of touchback level. - Target $2,300...continue moving stop loss higher along the way. Easy peasy.

Gold Pullback is an opportunity to Buy againGold is probably going to start a minor pullback to finish a corrective wave 2) that will be an opportunity to long again, as you may see in the chart above my count is impulsive, as i see gold may reach 1901 in the near term, and if broker 1057 again. wave 2 can retrace 61.8-76.4 % of wave 1 that means the invalidation level is going to be near 1820's. if my count is correct we will expect the third wave to start soon, which is the longest and strongest in term of motive waves

Gold Buy Signal!!Gold retraced nicely from 1750/60 area, and i believe that the last bounce is impulsive as we can see a 5 wave formation momentum. that means any pullback for gold between 1820-1805 level is an opportunity to long gold. i know that the vaccine news can work against our analysis but with all respect i think that the market already discounted the vaccination news. so gold most probably will be affected by the stimulus program that will be adapted form the treasury.

Gold Will Shine againGold finished a corrective cycle A,B,C that reached 1845$ per ounce. the current structure of the bounce from the last low standing looks impulsive, that means we are looking to start another motive wave labeled as 1,2,3,4,5. the first wave that contains minor 5 waves is trading in an expanding triangular form, a minor corrective wave (2) retested previous wave 4 near 1886. we are now looking for another surge in gold that is expected to be the longest and strongest wave labeled as (3). the risk to reward ratio is perfect for this trade. wishing you a good luck!!!!

016. PIGGISH PLAY - Long Agnico Eagle Mines (AEM)Gold mining stocks are set to pop sometime this week or next. AEM is, in my not-so-humble opinion, the best of the bunch when you compare top and bottom lines. However, the only bottom line that matters is that this stock is in the middle of its cubed-third wave on the daily timeframe, and in the middle of its quartic-third wave on the weekly timeframe. Basically, AEM's current price trend is the solution to the movie Inception, which is why I am going to long it either tomorrow afternoon or Thursday morning, depending on how the market shapes its weekly close. Add to this very-transparent-third-wave-trend a mighty tailwind known as the FED minutes, and we have ourselves a winning trade. - Perma_Eagle NYSE:AEM TVC:GOLD FX_IDC:XAUUSD
