Gold Options Activity Point to Continuing RallyNot a single macro portfolio manager was fired for adding gold to their portfolio over the last two years. Such has been gold’s stunning performance. Will Gold’s ascent continue? Narratives and numbers signal unstoppable and solid bull run in gold for now. BULL CASE REMAINS INTACT AND IS INTENFISYING This paper will not delve much into fundamentals. We have covered it previously in Gold to Shine Bright on Fundamentals, Seasonality & Sentiments . In that we highlighted the three main forces at play: (a) Continued central bank purchases, (b) Rising consumer demand in China & India, and (c) Trump administration’s fiscal policies favouring gold. In addition to the above, US Dollar weaponization, De-dollarisation fears, and Tariff tensions, serve as additional tailwinds. TradingView Wizard, Konhow , has comprehensively covered the historical impact of tariffs on Gold in his recent paper and video . SENTIMENTS HAVE SURRENDERED IN FAVOR OF RISING GOLD This research note will not dive into the weeds of technical analysis either. TradingView’s Technical Analysis dashboard summarises it all elegantly. TradingView Momentum is in favour. Oscillators are neutral indicating little risk of price reversal. Overall, sentiment remains bullish gold. Gold prices as represented by CME Micro Gold Futures front month contract formed a golden cross on 10th January 2025. Since then, prices are up 8.5% as of 13th February 2025. Current prices are well above its 50-day, 100-day, and 200-day DMAs. RSI is in overbought zone. Expect some pull back in gold prices from time to time on profit taking. But the upward trend is undeniable. The MACD shows that Gold momentum continues to be on the rise but with waning bullishness. Readers can access the entire library of technical ideas focussing on Gold on TradingView’s Gold Ideas Page ideas page . OPTIONS MARKETS ARE SIGNALLING A SOLID BULL RUN AHEAD This paper aims to unpack recent activity in CME gold options market and its impact on prices. No contrary signals there either. Options market also signal bullish gold. QuikStrike is a free-to-use tool for registered participants on the CME Group website. The tool provides a vast range of analytics to guide portfolio managers & traders to better comprehend the underlying market. Each report comes with a helpful user-guide to describe the data covered within the report. Some key takeaways below: Open Interest Profile page shows that as of close of markets on 11th February 2025, total call open interest (“OI” for short) stood at 634,815 lots across all expiries and strikes. Aggregate put IO totalled up to 357,305 lots resulting in a put-call ratio (p/c ratio) of 0.56. Calls are options contract that represent a bullish view. While puts are contracts representing bearish outlook. At 0.56 p/c ratio, there are twice as many bullish positions for each bearish one. Source: CME QuikStrike Most Active Strikes allow portfolio managers and traders to analyse top strikes with shifts in open interest. Table below shows top 10 strikes registering the largest change in open interest between 4th February and 11th February. Starting first with the Calls (left section of the table below), participants have been building up open interest in strikes 4000, 3200, 3250, 4500, 4032, and 3,975. Call options have also booked reduction in open interest at strikes 3000, 3075, 3100 and 3025. On a net-basis, open interest is up 10,312 lots across these top ten strikes over various expiries this year. Source: CME QuikStrike Puts (right section of the table above) shows rising build up in open interest for strikes ranging from 2740 to 2880. Collectively, this indicates that market participants are rooting for gold prices to rise through USD 3,000/oz and to even rally past USD 4,500/oz. Will that happen? Only time will tell. Given that risk managers are establishing puts at such high levels point to strong support for gold prices at current levels. In a nutshell, current prices are not only formidably comfortable but the potential to rise is also highly probable. Shifting the attention to volatility, the CME Group also offers CVol which is another free-to-use tool. Portfolio managers and traders can visualise implied volatility behaviour on this tool. Source: CME CVol The GCVL which is the Gold CVol index shows implied volatility at 17.65 and with a positive skew of 1.08. Implied volatility easing even at an elevated prices indicates that market participants are comfortable at current price levels and do not foresee immediate large price moves. Skew on the CVol tool is defined as Up Var minus Down Var. Up Var is the likelihood of the price rising while Down Var measures the likelihood of prices falling. A positive skew shows that the market is pricing a higher likelihood of rising prices relative to a down move. FUND FLOWS INTO GOLD ETF IS UP 47% YOY Among its rich set of features, TradingView also shows daily ETF fund flows . GLD is the prominent ETF commanding assets under management (AUM) of USD 80.65 billion. This time last year, GLD ETF showed AUM of USD 54.77 billion. Fund inflows have spiked 47.25% over the past 12 months.

Is Gold Overdone? After an impressive rally which saw gold break through the $2,900/oz level for the first time, the market appears poised to blow off some steam. Key Points: - High on the daily RSI was set at the end of January and has been flashing divergence since then. - The RSI has been in a consolidation channel for the last few weeks but broke through to move lower this morning. The current RSI is sitting just below 50. - This morning, gold broke through the BB midpoint AND the lower trend channel. - Really bearish closing candle on the daily yesterday.

Gold On Thin Ice!**Current Trends and Future Prospects in the Gold Market: An In-Depth Analysis** In the past two years, gold has seen an impressive surge, almost doubling in value. This rally has captured the attention of investors worldwide, driving them to seek refuge in this precious metal amid uncertain economic landscapes. However, with this meteoric rise comes a growing concern: is gold still a safe haven, or is it teetering on the edge of a significant correction? **Gold's Meteoric Rise: A Double-Edged Sword?** The comparison to the U.S. dollar's performance in 2022 is noteworthy. The dollar, which enjoys a higher liquidity status compared to gold, experienced a dramatic 12% drop in value within a span of just three months. This sharp decline highlights a critical vulnerability in what was previously considered a safe and stable investment. **Potential Risks and Market Overcrowding** Given the parallels, there is an increasing risk that gold might face a similar fate. The gold market, currently saturated with bullish investors, hints at an impending correction. Analysts suggest that a potential value correction could see gold prices plummet by $500 to $1,000 per ounce. Such a correction would have profound implications, shaking investor confidence and market stability. **The Crowded Market and Limited Gains** The current influx of cash into gold also contributes to this precarious situation. As more investors flock to gold, the chances of a significant correction heighten. Moreover, with such a crowded market, the potential for substantial gains narrows. Bullish positions might push gold to a ceiling of around $3,000 to $3,200 per ounce, but beyond this range, the market may struggle to sustain further growth. **Shift in Cash Flow: From Gold to the Dollar** In the event of a correction, it is likely that we will witness a shift in cash flow from gold to the more liquid U.S. dollar. This shift would not only underscore the dynamic and often volatile nature of global investments but also demonstrate how investor sentiment can pivot quickly in response to market changes. **Long-Term Outlook: Geopolitical Influences on Gold's Value** Looking ahead, geopolitical tensions and shifts in global reserves could significantly impact gold's value. Nations opposed to the United States may continue to increase their gold reserves as a strategic counterbalance, potentially driving gold prices up to $3,700 per ounce in the long term. This geopolitical factor introduces an additional layer of complexity to the already intricate gold market landscape.

GOLD - WEEKLY SUMMARY 3.2-7.2 / FORECAST🏆 GOLD – 13th week of the base cycle (15-20+ weeks), 3rd phase of the cycle. The pivot forecast on February 3 worked as a reversal of Monday’s overnight tariff hysteria. The major trend from the December 18 extreme forecast continues. ⚠️ By Friday’s close, we saw a breakout of the previous top at the October 28 extreme forecast level (2800 on the current futures contract). This level may now become strong support. I believe strong hands didn’t fall for the tariff hysteria and held their long positions from the January 29 extreme forecast. Next extreme forecast: March 3. Next pivot forecast: February 11.

Gold vs UNI – Is UNI in the Early Stages of AccumulationThis comparison between Gold (MGC1!) and Uniswap (UNIUSDT) on the weekly timeframe suggests that UNI could be in Phase 1 of a buy program, similar to how gold accumulated before its major breakout. 📌 Key Observations in the Chart Comparison: PHASE 1: The Accumulation Zone (Green Highlighted Area) Gold went through a long accumulation period (2013–2017), trading in a sideways range before its parabolic impulse leg kicked in. UNI is currently in a similar consolidation phase, potentially in the early stages of accumulation. The monkey face + pointing emoji suggest a "stealth phase" where most retail traders remain unaware of the underlying accumulation. Old High & Market Structure Gold formed a major high, crashed, and accumulated before breaking out. UNI also reached an all-time high (~$44), crashed, and is now ranging in what looks like a potential accumulation phase. Similar structural formation suggests UNI could be following gold’s footsteps. Impulse Leg & Breakout Potential Gold’s first major breakout came after a long accumulation, followed by a massive impulse move (Phase 2). If UNI is mirroring gold, the next breakout could start the impulse leg leading to a retest of old highs and beyond. Standard Deviation Extensions (STDVN) – Potential Price Targets Gold reached 0.5 and 1 STDVN levels after its breakout, which became short-term targets before continuation. If UNI follows a similar trajectory, targets could be $44.77, $64.98, and eventually $85+ if the accumulation plays out. 🔮 What This Means for UNI? Early accumulation phase means the smart money is likely positioning. Price compression leads to expansion—UNI could be preparing for an explosive move. Similar to gold, UNI could break above accumulation and enter Phase 2, targeting 0.5 and 1 STDVN levels. If UNI truly follows gold’s structure, long-term price discovery is on the table. 🚨 Lord MEDZ Trading Perspective "Not financial advice, but let’s keep it real…" Gold showed the exact same pattern before making a historic move. UNI is mirroring the early accumulation phase. This is the shakeout before the breakout. Smart money is accumulating while retail panics. Patience = Wealth. Stay ahead of the crowd. 🚀 UNI could be setting up for something massive. 🚀

Ethereum vs. Gold Chart Comparison – Potential Explosive The comparison between Micro Gold Futures (MGC1!) and Ethereum (ETHUSDT) on the weekly timeframe suggests that Ethereum could be mirroring gold’s price structure before its parabolic breakout. Key Similarities Between Gold & Ethereum: Impulse Leg Formation 🔥 Both assets formed a strong impulse leg after a significant low. The Ethereum impulse leg started from the ~$1,530 low, pushing toward ~$4,000 before retracing into accumulation. Gold followed a similar pattern, forming a strong rally before consolidation. Accumulation Range Both charts show a clear accumulation phase after the impulse leg. Gold accumulated sideways for an extended period before exploding to the upside. Ethereum is currently within its accumulation range, suggesting that it could be preparing for a similar breakout. This is a shakeout phase designed to trap weak hands before the real move. Standard Deviation Extensions (STDVN) & Key Levels 🎯 Both charts use standard deviation extensions (STDVN) to project potential short-term targets. 0.5 STDVN & 1 STDVN levels are crucial areas where price could react. Gold blasted through these levels after breaking out of accumulation. If Ethereum follows suit, 5,288 (0.5 STDVN) and 6,605 (1 STDVN) could be in play. Previous Highs Acting as Support/Resistance Gold broke past its old high, retested, and surged. Ethereum is still hovering below its previous major high (~4,800). If Ethereum flips this level into support, it could send price into price discovery mode. What This Means for Ethereum 🚀 Gold already showed the path—Ethereum is lagging but setting up similarly. Volatility is part of the process—shakeouts happen before the breakout. Holding ETH through this phase could be crucial if history repeats itself. A breakout beyond the accumulation range could send ETH towards $5,200 - $6,600+ in the short term. Beyond 1 STDVN, ETH enters uncharted territory—an all-time high breakout could be explosive. Final Thoughts from Lord MEDZ 👑 Not financial advice, but I’m holding ETH through the chop. The last shakeout before an all-time high run is often the toughest. But the chart comparison is clear: Gold did it first. Ethereum could be next. 🔥 Patience. Conviction. Execution. 🔥

Renewing daily new highs (ATH)... Hello, traders. If you "Follow", you can always get new information quickly. Please click "Boost" as well. Have a nice day today. ------------------------------------- (GCL1! 1M chart) GCL1! is renewing daily new highs (ATH). It is not easy to analyze or trade these stocks. Since it is supported and rising near the right Fibonacci ratio point of 1 (2828.6), there is a possibility that it will rise to the Fibonacci ratio range of 1.618 (3395.3) ~ 1.618 (3457.6). However, since it is a state where it is not strange to fall at any time, you should think about a countermeasure for the fall when starting a transaction. - (1D chart) Most chart analysts explain the current chart analysis by substituting issues other than the chart. If you get used to this method, you may find issues other than the chart first without looking at the chart and analyze the chart while being obsessed with your subjective thoughts. If you do that, you may analyze the chart in the wrong direction because you will interpret the chart with your subjective thoughts instead of looking at the chart as it is, so you need to be careful. When analyzing charts, you must first look at the chart and analyze it, and then look for issues other than the chart when you have time. - In order to trade a stock that is renewing its ATH, you should check for support when it shows a downward trend and start. However, since it is renewing its ATH, there is no support or resistance point to check for support. To compensate for this, we use the 5EMA+StErr indicator and the Price Channel indicator. Therefore, when the price falls and touches the 5EMA+StErr indicator or the Price Channel indicator, you can find the trading point depending on whether there is support. - (30m chart) You can trade when it breaks out of the section made up of the Price Channel indicator or the box section made up of the HA-High and HA-Low indicators. Of course, trading is also possible within the box section. At this time, you should be careful that the trend can change when it passes the MS-Signal indicator. When you touch the 5EMA+StErr indicator on the 1D chart, you can check whether there is support and trade. - Thank you for reading to the end. I hope you have a successful trade. --------------------------------------------------
