The buying climax was obvious and bulls were determined to press forward the resistance at US1,340.00 but were unable to keep it above that level due to tepid last hour volume.

XAUUSD Daily Long IdeaPending Long @ 1250
Stop Loss @ 1205
Target @ 1393
RR Ratio @ 3.2
I am not interested to sell from here but i prefer the long side because it have bullish sequence on daily time frame.
Trading involves substantial risk of loss. I'm just providing insight into what trades I'm taking.
Gold @ daily @ technical Death Cross (100 SMA crosses 200 SMA)If the 100 SMA is crossing the 200 SMA many traders are talking about "death cross" - `cause the midterm investors starting to get under pressure relative to the longterm investors ...
How ever,
not only the big picture about XAUUSD is ugly - the short term picture inclusive :)
1188.10 intraday high while last FED press conference
1157.30 intraday low while last FED press conference
1165.36 intraday high while last ECB press conference
1138.68 intraday low while last ECB press conference
should all be something like higher short entry capabilities into last temporarly lows (around 1088 while december`15) after historical all-time high (around 1920 in september`11). In principle, i can`t imagine that we`ll trade XAUUSD ever again around prices of 1199.80 (june`16 low) & 1241.50 (october`16 low), `cause the fed will raise their rates 2,3 times 2017. But not in 1st quarter`17, if i am anticipating the future right. See dates of FED & ECB (1st Quarter in chart also). All in all together these are the main reasons why i would prefere the downside not only 1st Quarter`17 - much more until end of 2017. New temproraly lows under 1046 are only a quest of time. And prices under 999 - one year ahead (while christmas 2017) - woudn`t surprise me any more ...
Take care about the death cross ahead,
this could initial technical price volatility out of the yearly lows of 2013 (white line by 1180.20) & 2014 (white line by 1132.08). Superordimnate price targets are form this point of view 1073.53 (yearly 2015 low) & 1061.20 (1st price of 2016) & even also around 1046 (temporarly lowest price while dec`15 since all-time high in sep`11).
Take care
& analyzed it again
- it`s always your decission ...

Gold: Post-FOMC OutlookMy last post here on Gold (see Quick Take: Gold: Pre-FOMC Outlook ), I predicted that we would see it drop again. Here's the chart that showed this pre-FOMC:
I also showed you how having predicted, projected, making a trading plan and TRADING that trade plan based on my projections and the many wave count scenarios that I worked hard on coming up with, I and my members were able to rack up over +2800 REAL pips! (see this post: )
Well, we just added another +329 pips to that count and now have pocketed over +3000 pips on Gold in the past few months following my pre-FOMC prediction. But now that it has done what was expected, what now?
The chart that you see is showing what I believe is the tail-end of that amazing drop started from more than 4 months ago. From here, we could see a nice bounce as prices complete a large POTENTIAL Cypher pattern and also reach the MAJOR DT TL below. That area should provide some strong resistance.
PM me for longer term projections.
XAUUSD Short SoonWaiting for bearish confirmation candle before putting a short stop order few pips below the recent low at S1 pivot level. Target entry near S1-S2 fibo lines (pink) with TP at previous S3 fibo line (blue) near S2 pivot level, and TP near S1 pivot level. Might widen or tighten SL depending on next week's volatility before entering short. This is also in line with bearish movement bias on higher timeframe charts and strong sentiment about USD regarding higher probability of Fed rate hike this month.

Quick Update: Gold - A Change In Wave Count Reveals BIGGER Move!So far, +315 pips move on our trade.....
My last post on Gold, I posted this chart:
With that update, I also said "Gold is still heading down in a wave (iii). So DON'T try to BUY yet! And yes, it is TOO LATE to try to SELL and get in on the downtrend because this wave (iii) may be coming to an end soon. By my wave count, it should retrace back up soon in a corrective wave (iv). After that is done, I will be looking to trade the wave (v) back down. "
I then followed it up with this chart update:
With that update, I said "if you look at my last update, you will see that Gold had moved EXACTLY as I said it would. EXACTLY. When it hit that MAJOR SR Structure on my chart and gave a BUY signal, I told my members to go ahead and BUY and we did at 1310.79. And as of now, we are up +146 pips on this move. Did you all follow my chart?"
But now that prices have moved as strongly as they did AND beyond my TP point, it has invalidated my original wave count and forced me to reassess it. Of course, I'm not mad because the more it keeps moving, the more me and my members are making off this trade! If you had joined us, you would be too! So now, I have readjusted my wave count to account for this move up. And what you may notice is that in order to accommodate this move, I have had to mark the previous move down as a wave 1 and this move back up as a wave 2. Which means that when this move up finishes, the next move COULD be a wave 3 down! I say COULD be because...here is my ALT Bullish wave count that MUST be considered!
If this ALT BULLISH wave count is correct, hey, my members and I are already in on the ground floor of a HUGE, HUGE move! You could've been also had you been a member!
So take BOTH my wave counts into consideration before you decide to do anything.

Gold - Don't Just Own It, Trade It - 6/17/2016We are seeing really good trend trading in both highly volatile and lucrative commodities - Gold and Crude. We are actively trading both commodities from long as well as short side by leaning against good support / resistance levels.
There are many investors out there just happy owning gold and hoping for something good to happen to their investment. Of course if you have ton of extra money to park on 'long term' bet and if you are living in a country (e.g. India ) with depreciating currency against US Dollar then that might make sense. Because every decade or so, we are going to see parabolic spikes in Gold and silver besides your usual price appreciation due to currency devaluation.
But for others, who are good at technical trading and understands the fundamental argument about Gold, there is much more money to be made trading Gold rather than just stashing it.
Levels in Gold are very obvious and strategy is also very simple. Look at 1100, 1140, 1180, 1200, 1240, 1260, 1280, 1300, 1400, 1500 and you will be able to point very conspicuous support / resistance levels. Now depending upon from the direction Gold is approaching these levels, take a trade against those levels ! Of course you need little understanding of technical analysis here because for example, during yesterday's rally, you just don't jump at 1300 and short Gold because there is 200 WMA lying at 1314. So you need to spread your short closer to that. But these are very simple things for a technical trader and we don't need to spell out everything here.
So as usual, sticking with our short gold strategy, there is no surprise that we are short here and first target has already been reached at 1280 and now looking for 1260. But we will be wary of holding short amid Brexit though. Besides now it seems like Central banks are at the end of their wit and something is telling us that Gold want to fly to 1400 ! In that case, this might be the last short in 1100 / 1300 range and we are prepared to get long from 1260.
XAUUSD SHORTXAUUSD SEEMS TO BE A NICE SHORT OPPORTUNITY AFTER LAST FRIDAYS BEARISH ENGULFING
FORMATION ALONGSIDE SLIGHT BEARISH DIVERGENCE WITH A REJECTION FROM THE 1280 RESISTANCE.
THERE IS A POTENTIAL FOR GOLD TO HAVE MADE A LOWER HIGH ON THE WEEKLY AS LONG AS THE METAL
STAYS FIRMLY BELOW 1280-1290.
I DON'T WANT TO GET TOO CAUGHT UP IN THE BULLISH GOLD RUSH JUST YET AS I STILL SEE FURTHER DOWNSIDE BEYOND
$1080 PER OZ BEFORE THE REAL BUYING FORCES ITS WAY THROUGH!
ANYWAY.. NICE 1:2 RISK REWARD POTENTIAL HERE.
TRADE SAFE AND HAVE A PROSPEROUS WEEK AHEAD.
