Attempting to Time The Next Gold Rally (FPT & EPP Analysis)This video attempts to show you how to use Fibonacci Price Theory (FPT) and the Excess Phase Peak (EPP) patterns to attempt to time/estimate the next big Rally in Gold/Silver. This is more of an educational video as timing market moves accurately is nearly impossible (IMO). Some techniques (such as predictive modeling or other types of price pattern analysis) can help us estimate when the markets may make a big move, but they are still only about 55% to 75% accurate in most cases. I've found the best solution is to more clearly identify price support/resistance using FPT and the EPP pattern to attempt to determine what stage of the EPP pattern price is currently in and how that relates to FPT short-, intermediate-, and long-term price structures. In my mind, using price as the core element of my analysis eliminates the potential of getting confused by technical indicators and other data. Price is the ultimate tool when attempting to trade or analyze the charts. This video is designed to help you understand how to use the two techniques/theories (FPT & EPP) I teach to better understand price setups/trends/opportunities.

SILVER TECHNICALS MCXThis chart is a technical analysis of Silver Futures (MCX) on a daily timeframe. Here are some key technical insights: 1. Price Channels: The chart has two primary trend channels, one in blue (upward sloping) and another in red. These channels suggest that the price is moving within a rising trend, with the blue channel indicating a broader trend and the red lines showing a shorter-term trend within that range. 2. Fibonacci Levels: There are multiple Fibonacci retracement levels shown, which act as potential support and resistance levels. Key levels visible on the chart include: • 23.6% (₹95,002), 38.2% (₹93,183), 50% (₹91,855), 61.8% (₹90,206), and 78.6% (₹88,693). • These levels are commonly used by traders to identify potential reversal zones. The price has been moving close to these levels, which might serve as points of interest for bullish or bearish reactions. 3. Support and Resistance Levels: The levels ₹86,431 and ₹115,040 are highlighted in larger fonts, indicating strong support and resistance zones. • ₹86,431 appears to be a key support level, aligning with a lower boundary near the blue channel and some Fibonacci levels. • ₹115,040 is a significant resistance level, marking the upper limit of the price forecast in this analysis. 4. Price Action: The recent price movement shows a downward correction within the broader upward trend. Currently, the price is testing lower support areas within the channel and Fibonacci retracement levels, which may indicate a possible support zone if buyers re-enter. 5. Volume and Indicators: • The volume bars at the bottom show trading activity, with recent volume spikes that may indicate significant buying or selling pressure. • There is an oscillator (possibly MACD or RSI) below the volume bars, showing red and green areas, which suggests fluctuating momentum. Green areas indicate bullish momentum, while red shows bearish pressure. 6. Projection Lines: Vertical lines on Dec 26, 2024, and April 11, 2025, might mark anticipated future price areas or significant time zones where traders expect changes in trend direction. Summary The chart suggests that silver is currently in a corrective phase within a broader upward trend. Traders would watch for support around ₹86,431 and potential upside toward ₹115,040, with Fibonacci levels serving as key interim points for support and resistance. This setup would appeal to both breakout and pullback traders, depending on where the price moves relative to these levels.

Silver downside continuation?Will we see downside continuation in Silver? Platinum broke it's trend with force this session, foreshadowing Silver's drop. If support is found and maintained in the current marked areas, we may see consolidation and stability in price. However, if the obvious trend continues, Silver may want to tag the prices marked below. Gold was choppier than it's metal cousins, but has also seen a steep decline in London trading hours. This is NOT trade advice, simply my observations. Have a nice weekend

Will Silver Close at the High This Year?In September, we discussed the potential of silver forming a 'Cup & Handle' pattern, similar to what we observed with gold at the end of 2023. We saw how gold performed in 2024. If the Silver can settle at around here at the end of this year, establishing this formation, we should be able to see the rising trend of the Silver in 2025. In this tutorial, we will discuss why silver may close higher towards end of the year.

Hedging Price Risk in Silver in a Pivotal Week This is a big week for financial markets, a long-anticipated election in the US is likely to have widely varying impacts across major asset classes. Safe haven assets such as silver stand to benefit from the uncertainty. There is also an FOMC meeting scheduled on 7/Nov (Thu) where the Fed is widely expected to cut rates by 25 basis points. A lower rate environment also serves as tailwind for silver. Finally, the Chinese parliament is expected to announce details of fiscal stimulus on 8/Nov (Fri). Fiscal stimulus in China also stands to benefit silver through higher investment demand as well as industrial demand. In what should fundamentally be a strong week for silver, prices have entered the week on a bearish note following a 3.4% decline last week. While fundamental outlook for Silver remains bullish, this eventful week may drive unwanted volatility. Indeed markets are expecting large moves in silver prices with silver options IV near a 1-year high. Source: CME Group CVOL Investors can strategically deploy CME silver weekly options along with a long position in silver to capitalize on the fundamental increase while remaining protected against volatility. BULLISH FUNDAMENTAL OUTLOOK FOR SILVER Mint Finance covered some of silver’s bullish fundamental drivers in a previous paper . In brief, robust growth from the photovoltaic (PV) sector is driving high demand. PV installations are surging, with global solar installations up 29% year-over-year, driven by aggressive climate policies and energy transition goals. This increase has directly boosted silver consumption, essential for PV production. At the same time, silver markets have stayed in a supply deficit for the past four years. Silver miners have struggled to keep pace with the rapidly increasing industrial demand. China’s massive stimulus package—its largest since the pandemic—also plays a crucial role, freeing up liquidity to revitalize its struggling economy. This stimulus supports sectors like PV and electronics, key industries for silver usage, while bolstering consumer confidence, which translates into heightened demand for silver in electronics and jewellery. Investment demand for silver has started to pick up pace. Since July, U.S.-listed silver ETFs have seen over $942 million in inflows, particularly after the Fed’s rate cuts, which makes non-yielding assets like silver more attractive. HIGHER SILVER JEWELLERY DEMAND IN INDIA The recent festival season in India saw high demand for silver as buyers opted for it over gold. Silver sales by volume are expected to have increased 30-35% YoY while gold sales fell by 15% according to data from the Indian Bullion & Jewellers Association. Rising investor interest in silver is partly due to its relative affordability compared to gold, which is trading at an all-time high. While high gold prices are dampening demand, especially for physical gold and jewellery, silver remains more accessible, supporting increased investment. Rising investment demand, particularly for jewellery, risks pushing silver further into deficit. While jewellery demand for silver had been modest in recent years, 2022 saw a significant increase. According to the Silver Institute, jewellery demand is projected to grow by 4% in 2024 (but below 2022 levels), with actual demand potentially exceeding this due to the strong seasonal trend. Increased demand would further tighten silver supplies, likely driving prices higher over the next year. UPCOMING FOMC MEETING AND CHINA STIMULUS TO DRIVE SENTIMENT China’s parliament has started it five-day meeting on 4/Nov (Mon) and is expected to announce the details of the fiscal support on 8/Nov (Fri). Analysts suggest the fiscal plan could reach 10 trillion yuan ($1.4 trillion), with most funds likely allocated to refinancing local government debt. A substantial fiscal stimulus plan is likely to support silver prices. Recent economic data from China has also shown a recovering industrial sector as China’s manufacturing PMI rose from 49.8 to 50.1 in Oct as the manufacturing sector shifted into expansion after 5 months of contraction. In case the trend continues, stronger industrial demand also stands to push silver prices higher. SILVER IN THE MIDST OF CORRECTION DURING UPTREND Silver continued its bullish momentum from September into October but has corrected sharply over the past week. During the rally earlier this year, when silver prices corrected, they were able to find support at the 38.2% and 61.8% Fibonacci levels. With Silver presently just above the 38.2% level, it may find support here. Silver’s performance in the past two months has closely aligned with monthly pivot points. In both September and October, prices tested these pivot levels before moving higher. However, recent tests have shown smaller deviations from the pivot compared to prior months, suggesting that volatility could push prices slightly lower during this month’s test. There is strong reason to believe that the general bullish trend is likely to continue into next year. According to a poll at the LBMA precious metal conference, delegates expect silver prices to rise to USD 45/oz over 2025, reflecting a 37% increase from present levels. Precious metal analysts were highly optimistic about silver, stating that higher industrial demand combined with continued supply deficit was likely to drive strong gains. SEASONALITY SUGGESTS POTENTIAL FOR LARGE GAINS IN NOVEMBER Silver prices closed out October with a 4.6% increase but are currently nearly flat for November. Historically, November has been a mixed month for silver, with an average price increase of 1.88% since 2000, though with high standard deviation. Notably, only 42% of Novembers have shown positive gains. Despite this variability, past performance shows periods where silver either consistently declined or consistently rallied over multiple Novembers. Over the last two years, November has seen significant growth in silver prices; if this recent trend persists, silver could experience strong gains this month. SILVER’S PERFORMANCE AROUND ELECTIONS Certain safe haven and risk assets (gold, silver, BTC) stand to benefit from a Trump presidency. Historically, elections have impacted silver prices in varying ways. Following the Trump victory, silver stands to benefit. Looking at silver’s historical performance in the two weeks following elections since 1980, prices increased by an average of 0.7% when a Republican replaced a Democrat president. The Democrat-to-Republican shift has led to price rallies in two-thirds of cases. SILVER’S PERFORMANCE AROUND FOMC MEETINGS As mentioned, lower rates have a positive impact on non-yielding investment assets such as silver while also boosting industrial demand during periods with loose monetary policy. During the Fed easing cycles in 2001, 2007, and 2019, silver reacted positively to Fed rate cuts in 68% of cases (performance measured 1 week after FOMC meeting with monetary easing) with an average of 0.9% appreciation on the CME Silver front month contract. Source: CME FedWatch CME FedWatch tool is suggesting that a 25-basis point rate cut is most likely at the upcoming meeting on 7/Nov with a probability of 98%. As the outcome is largely anticipated, the impact of the meeting on silver prices may be minimal. HYPOTHETICAL TRADE SETUP Silver remains bullish with strong fundamental drivers including the rapid growth in the PV industry and strong investment demand. This week, several major events are expected to drive significant volatility in the silver market. While these events are generally anticipated to boost silver demand, prices may remain unstable and could see short-term declines. Silver is currently trading near its support levels, but increased event-driven volatility this week could lead to significant price swings. In late October, for example, silver briefly surged nearly 4% above usual resistance levels during short bursts of volatility. Although trading volume remained concentrated near the support level, the risk of sudden, sharp moves remains. This could result in a long silver position being prematurely closed out. With a long position in silver futures at risk from near-term event risks, investors can deploy CME weekly options to hedge a long position from near-term volatility which increases tail risk. In the following hypothetical trade setup, investors can combine a long position in CME micro silver futures expiring in December (SILZ4) at an entry of 32 with a protective put using CME silver weekly options expiring on 8/Nov (Fri) (SO2X4) at a strike level of 31 (delta 20, premium of 0.087/oz or USD 435) offers a compelling trade setup while remaining hedged against near-term volatility. Using a delta-20 put option keeps the position fully delta-hedged for the week, as the delta of the long micro silver position aligns with the option’s delta at 20. Since each micro silver contract is one-fifth the size of a full contract, this setup effectively maintains the hedge. In case prices dip below 30.64 by Friday due to volatility from the election, FOMC meeting, and China parliamentary meeting, the put option would offset any losses from the futures leg. In the later part of the month, the outlook for silver is likely to be bullish given the fundamental factors highlighted above, in case prices rise, the position would become profitable above 32.44, offsetting the premium paid for the short-term option. The scenarios in which the position loses: 1) In case prices remain between 30.64 and 32.44 2) In case prices fall below 30.64 following the put option expiry on 8/Nov The scenarios in which the position profits: 1) In case prices fall below 30.64 before the put option expiry on 8/Nov 2) In case prices rise above 32.44 at any point It should be noted that it would be prudent to set a stop loss on the long futures position following options expiry at 31 to minimize losses in case of a decline after options expiry.

Gold & Silver Struggling To Break Away From Consolidation PhaseI created this video to highlight why I believe Gold & Silver could stay within a very wide consolidation range until after November 7~10 as the US markets enter a SHOCK phase after the elections. Yes, I believe Gold & Silver will ultimately rally much higher, but my weekend research suggests the US & Global markets will stay in a low liquidity phase for about 7 to 10+ days after the election and I believe THAT is the reason why Gold & Silver will appear TRAPPED in a sideways price range. Ultimately, we'll see what happens with Gold and Silver and if my research is correct or not. I just wanted to alert traders that Gold/Silver and other metals/miners appear to be trapped in a price anomaly event over the next 10+ days that suggests metals will fall downward, trade within a sideways price range, and attempt to move out of that range after November 11. Let's see how it plays out. Get some. #trading #research #investing #tradingalgos #tradingsignals #cycles #fibonacci #elliotwave #modelingsystems #stocks #bitcoin #btcusd #cryptos #spy #es #nq #gold

SPY/QQQ Plan Your Trade 11-1 Update: Silver Still LeadingPlease watch this video to understand why I believe the downside risks are still dominant related to price trending. Yes, we've seen a solid recovery today, but watching Silver and RSP, it appears the Excess Phase Peak pattern is still progressing toward a breakdown new low. I urge all traders to stay very cautious of the risks throughout today and Monday. The markets need to climb higher quite a bit to invalidate this pattern - and I don't see that happening before Nov 5. Buckle up. Get some.

Gold & Silver Enter Phase #3 of the Excess Phase Peak PatternGet ready. Both Gold & Silver have moved into Phase #3 of the Excess Phase Peak Pattern - suggesting Gold & Silver will consolidate briefly before either attempting to break downward toward an ultimate low or revert higher, trying to take out the recent highs. I estimate that Gold and Silver will break downward as fear and panic settle into the market ahead of the US elections. If you've been following my research for the past 4+ weeks, you already know I predicted this move nearly a month ago, and now we are seeing Gold and Silver roll strongly to the downside. What is interesting is that they both set up excess phase peak patterns. Gold set up a very quick Phase #1 & #2 (flagging) pattern, whereas Silver's #1 & #2 setup took much longer. I believe Silver is leading the markets a bit right now throughout this Excess Phase Peak pattern. If my research is correct, Gold and Silver will break downward over the next 4+ days to identify a substantially lower low - the Ultimate low. After that, Gold and Silver will base/bottom and move into a very strong recovery phase. Are you ready for market opportunities over the next 5+ years? Follow my research/videos to learn how you can capitalize on these big moves.

GOLD and Silver Futures OUTLOOK for the week of Oct. 28, 2024Coming into this week we can see both Gold and Silver are trading away from bullish imbalances, also forming SMT's off those imbalances. We also see that both commodities have CISD's coming off the same lows. In my opinion Gold is showing relative strength, given the fact that it has a failure swing at the lows, while the contrary for Silver. My focus will be towards gold being the stronger pair to long in this scenario. Looking forward to a productive week. Bless.

Directional bias for trade filtering on lower TF , or 70 win % Hi there! I’m excited to share a system I’ve developed called 'Zones.' These zones offer a directional bias, helping predict where price is likely to move next with a current follow-through rate of 70%. In other words, if the price exits one of the orange zones, there’s a 70% chance it will reach the next orange zone, at least touching the boundary, rather than reversing back and closing within the previous zone. You can trade these zones directly for a 70% win rate, or use them as a directional bias to complement your existing strategy on a 1-minute or 5-minute chart (which I highly recommend). Important note: When the price briefly exits a zone but doesn’t close outside it, this is not considered a valid exit — we call this a "spike" or wick. For the 70% win rate to apply, the price must close outside the zone. These zones are the result of years of research, experimental machine learning development, and collaboration with colleagues who have decades of experience in physics. And the best part? I’m offering them completely free. The real challenge isn’t just following a system with a 70% win rate — it’s whether you can overcome your own psychology and avoid sabotaging your success. If you had a winning strategy, what’s really stopping you from being consistently profitable? Often, the answer is ourselves. My zones are built on theoretical thermodynamics and mathematical proofs that help predict the likely trajectory of a system, similar to particle movement in physics. Keep in mind, the orange zone line represents an unpredictable area — while the price often touches the line, there are instances where it may not reach it. Due to the inherent limitations of modern physics, this zone remains an unsolvable area, adding a layer of uncertainty to the system. I promise, none of the paid indicators, whether it’s LuxAlgo or anything from a Pine Wizard or trading “guru,” can match the accuracy of these zones. But don’t take my word for it — try them for yourself and see the results!

Forecasting potential profit taking opportunities silver 7 to 9% Forecasting potential profit-taking opportunities in silver ranging from 7% to 9% SILVER, a prominent commodity, is currently on a notable upward trajectory, reaching its highest levels Since 2012. Today's spot cash price for silver surged to $34.853, while December futures are closely aligned at $35.065, signalling robust market performance and strong investor demand. The silver market's future direction depends on several factors, including inflation trends, interest rates, industrial demand, and geopolitical tensions. While there is potential for further price increases if inflation remains high and demand for silver in industries like renewable energy and electronics grows, a sudden rise in interest rates or a shift in investor sentiment could lead to a correction, potentially causing the current silver bubble to burst. Since January 2024, silver prices have exhibited an impressive surge of nearly 60%, capturing the attention of traders and analysts alike with its remarkable upward momentum.   Several key factors are driving the recent surge in silver prices: 1. Inflation Hedge: As inflationary pressures increase, many investors turn to silver as a safe haven to preserve wealth, much like gold. This demand boosts its price. 2. Weaker Dollar: A depreciating U.S. dollar tends to make commodities like silver more attractive to foreign buyers, driving up demand and prices. 3. Industrial Demand: Silver has significant industrial applications, particularly in electronics, solar panels, and the renewable energy sector. As these industries grow, so does the demand for silver. 4. Supply Constraints: Disruptions in mining operations due to environmental regulations, labour shortages, or geopolitical issues can limit silver supply, contributing to price increases. 5. Speculative Buying: Market speculation and increased interest from retail investors, fuelled by market sentiment or expectations of future shortages, often lead to sharp price movements. 6. Geopolitical Uncertainty: Global economic and political tensions, such as trade wars or conflicts, often lead to higher demand for precious metals, including silver, as investors seek safer assets. A strengthening U.S. dollar could trigger profit-taking in hedge funds invested in assets like gold and silver, as these commodities typically have an inverse relationship with the dollar. As the dollar appreciates, the value of these hedge investments tends to decline, prompting investors to lock in gains. If referring to a decline in silver prices, several factors could contribute: 1. Strengthening U.S. Dollar: As silver is priced in dollars, a stronger dollar makes it more expensive for foreign buyers, reducing demand and putting downward pressure on prices. 2. Rising Interest Rates: Higher interest rates make non-yielding assets like silver less attractive compared to interest-bearing investments, leading to reduced demand for precious metals. 3. Lower Industrial Demand: Since silver has significant industrial uses, a slowdown in sectors like electronics, solar energy, or manufacturing could decrease demand, causing prices to fall. 4. Decreased Inflationary Pressures: If inflation slows or stabilizes, the need for inflation hedges like silver diminishes, leading to lower prices as investors shift to other asset classes. 5. Profit-Taking by Investors: After a significant rally, some investors may engage in profit-taking, selling off their silver holdings, which can lead to short-term price declines. 6. Improving Economic Conditions: In times of economic recovery, risk appetite increases, and investors may move away from safe-haven assets like silver toward equities and other higher-yielding investments, reducing silver demand. These factors, individually or collectively, could trigger a decline in silver prices. These are just a few potential factors that could lead to a decline or crash in silver prices. If profit-taking occurs, it may indicate a shift in investor sentiment, exerting downward pressure not only on silver but also on other precious metals like gold, as market participants adjust their positions across the metals sector.   Based on my analysis, the gold-to-silver ratio and profit-taking in hedge funds will play a significant role in driving down silver prices. Given these factors, there is a strong likelihood of a substantial decline in silver prices, making this an opportune moment to trade and sell large positions in silver. Intraday and Short-Term Trading Strategies for Spot Silver (XAGUSD) Given recent market conditions, spot silver (XAGUSD) reached a peak of $34.853 during the morning Asian session, offering a potential entry point for traders. Should profit-taking occur and prices continue to decline, key downside targets include $33.772, yesterday’s low. A break below this level could lead to a test of last Friday’s low at $31.655, with further declines potentially reaching $30.752, the low from October 15. A drop below this level would signal a significant downtrend, with the next support around $30.114, the October 8 low. MCX December silver futures reached an all-time high of ₹1,00,081 per 30 kilos today, presenting a key entry point for traders. Potential downside targets include ₹97,715, yesterday's low. A breach of this level could lead to a test of Monday's low at ₹96,506. If prices fall further, they may approach the 100-day moving average at ₹94,309. A decline below this point would indicate a significant downtrend, with the next support level at ₹91,995, the October 18 low. Holding Period – Maximum 5/7 weeks   Considering the convergence of factors such as market trends, demand shifts, gold-to-silver ratio forecasts, and anticipated profit-taking by hedge funds from elevated levels, a projected decline in silver prices of at least minimum 7% to a maximum of 9% from recent record highs is expected in the coming days. Conclusion As a research analyst with decades of experience, successfully navigating the complexities of financial markets demands a deep understanding of the various factors at play. While hedge funds focusing on gold and silver may offer stability amidst geopolitical uncertainties, the shifting policies of central banks and fluctuating economic data introduce significant volatility. Investors must proceed with caution, equipped with knowledge and a strategic mindset, to effectively weather the challenges and capitalize on opportunities within this dynamic landscape.
