Buy STOCKS heavily and dump GOLD according to this ratio.It is not the first time we use the SPX/GOLD ratio (S&P500 to XAUUSD) for a macro analysis and certainly each time it manages to offer us different and very helpful insights. This time on the 1W time-frame, the ratio is consolidating these past 2 weeks but after having broken in late May - early June above the 2022 Lower Highs trend-line.
That alone is a strong bullish signal and a look in the past 10 years shows that this is a cyclical pattern that has already been formed twice. The SPX/GOLD ratio following its market peak, enters a Descending Triangle (which is during a time of risk crisis in the markets) where Gold starts to outperform the S&P500 (stocks), a natural move as the yellow metal is a safe haven.
Then as the Triangle's Support holds, the price breaks above the Lower Highs and starts the new Bull Phase. Exception is of course the March 2020 COVID crash, which is a Black Swan event and doesn't count as technical. If it wasn't for that, the price would continue breaking above the Lower Highs as the rest of the fractals. In addition, the 1D RSI breaking above its own Lower Highs trend-line, is a similar buy signal.
Currently, since the ratio is significantly above not just the Lower Highs trend-line (RSI as well) but also the 1W MA50 (blue trend-line), we can expect it to reach the 2.68 Resistance within 6 months.
Naturally, as the title says, this means for investors to buy stocks at the expense of holding Gold. This is translated that we are in a Bullish Phase (risk-on) where buying assets like stocks offer more return than Gold, which should be converted to riskier assets.

SPX/ Gold Ratio - Signals a Possible Bounce in Equities?The SPX/ Gold ratio appears to be signaling that a near-term bounce may be in order for equity markets, potentially accompanied with relative weakness in gold.
As you can see there is a very clear gap within the ratio that is yet to be filled, the gap is present at approximately 2.00, in other words, the points of the SPX will need to be twice the price of spot gold in order to fill this gap.
The outlined boxes are what i consider to be the most likely way in which this gap can be filled at press time.
A rally in the SPX to approximately the 50% fib level at $2,900, and a corresponding weakness in spot gold to around $1,450
It is worth mentioning, the specific prices at which this gap is filled is not really important, what i am looking for is a gap fill within this ratio at which point i will look at going short on equities and going long on gold. As i believe that further weakness in equities is highly likely going forward, barring news of containment measures succeeding in containing the spread of the Coronavirus, or news of a ready cure for the illness.
* At press time the SPX futures are down approximately 3.7% and may very well hit limit down again, with Russell 200 futures flirting with 4.75% down and Nasdaq futures down 4.4%.
** What i am looking for, is a bounce in equities, coupled with relative weakness in gold, the prices at which this occur are more of an exercise in bottom fishing.
