XAUCAD trade ideas

Gold XAU short positionTechnical Analysis Similar leaning head and shoulder pattern to start of Q4 of 2021 for Gold price. Used same slope as 2021 for estimating trend line forecasted to a take-profit level at 2114 Support level. Estimated time frame for take-profit orders would be around September 2022. MACD and RSI convergence shows bearish signals in the short-term. Big swing in Stochastics doesn't provide a good bearish confirmation for the short-run. Will need to wait and watch. Good stop loss level at 2500 gives a healthy 4:1 Profit-to-Loss ratio. Fundamental Analysis The Ukraine-Russia war boosted the Gold price in Q1 of 2022. Eased concerns and talks with the Kremlin have eased the Gold price starting in Q2 of 2022. As gold is considered a safe haven asset during times of turmoil and fear, assuming negotiations continue with the Ukraine-Russia conflict, gold should continue to decline. Rising inflation has caused commodity prices to sky rocket, and will continue to do so. Economists forecast sustained economic growth, but much slower growth. The risk is based on the uncertainty of this growth, the rate at which gold price will reduce might reduce causing the estimated duration of this trade to lengthen further than September 2022.

GANN ideas, building on a previous idea from todayGann stuff, so, On Aug 7, 2020, the ath was in. Using this date, and converting it to price =2008.07. Well, the time required to get to that point of reversal is 302bars. Divide the price difference (2762.43-2008.07=754.36) by the Bars 302 and a pretty nice ratio, of 2.5:1 is the result. The chart scale is 5:1 (5 dollars in price and 1 bar in time), so this is precisely 50% (or is it twice??) of the chart scale. I'm going out on a limb here, and I will and I will call October 1st 2021 at a price of $2008.07 as the date and price for the consolidation/Retracement to end and a trend reversal will occur. And I will celebrate this fantastic bit of charting wether I am correct or not, with a beer! Ha! GLTA!! I don't suggest using any of this as any sort of advice whatsoever! Please do your due diligence and if ya like what you see, then go ahead and give it a shot!!

3 Reasons why Gold will break above $1600!If you follow my work, you know that I am very bullish on Gold (and Silver) and Bitcoin will also initially be doing well. As a student of the markets, history and economics, I approach everything through the lens of classical economics as opposed to mercantile economics, today called Keynesian economics. Classical economics is about hard money and low taxes, while Mercantile/Keynesian is about soft money. Keynesian has been taught in school since 1971 and I believe for a reason. Keynesian is all about aggregate demand, essentially government playing a huge role in economics and having high taxes to pay for it. It is a win-win for governments and economists because governments get bigger with this theory, and economists get hired by banks who then propose, whenever there is a liquidity or solvency crisis, for government to bail the banks out using taxpayer money. Human history is cycles of hard money and soft money. No soft/fiat money has ever survived. We always revert back to hard money. We go to soft money when government becomes greedy and decadent just to name a few reasons. Before I begin, I recommend you read my posts on the US Dollar going higher, and why the Fed is cutting (linked below). I argue we will enter a period where both the US Dollar and Gold move together. The academic approach to markets is to run into the US Dollar because it is the safe haven/reserve currency. Forget about Gold it is useless. While the classical and those who study history realize Gold goes up for one reason, and one reason only. A CONFIDENCE CRISIS. Many market participants have not realized the trouble coming, but they very soon will be. Gold goes up whenever there is a confidence crisis in the government, the banks, and the money. 1) Government The division is clear. Just think about the US elections in 2020. The losing party will NOT accept the results. The division is just ready to boil. What excuses will be used next after the Russians? Think about the protests on the streets regardless of the Republicans or the Democrats winning. This also leads to the idea of government debt. Government's in the western world are all broke. Taxes will have to increase to pay for it all. There is even ideas now of government supplying universal basic income or the MMT model. More socialism More bigger and authoritarian government. I argue we will go to a digital currency so government can track money for taxation...this has to do with MMT which we will discuss when we look at the money crisis. 2) Banks Perhaps the most important. Central Banks are stuck. What we are seeing is central banks attempting to MAINTAIN CONFIDENCE in the system. They cannot come out and say "we messed up". We are seeing the beginning of central banks easing...and a lot of the academia people cannot understand why. The economy is supposed to be the strongest ever. Look at the Bank of Japan, the European Central Bank and the Bank of England (to name a few). They are at negative interest rates, or close to zero...how will they respond to the next recession? The ECB has come out saying they will provide more stimulus and cut rates further negative (again, the keynesians cannot admit they were wrong...we did not cut rates deeper to the negative nor did we print enough money...our policies are not wrong, we just did not do enough of it). Again, in my article linked below I talk about why the Fed is actually cutting rates. A lot to do with debt levels, an upcoming recession, and geopolitics. It is likely we are going back to Quantitative Easing. The Fed has come out saying they will stop Quantitative Tightening... meaning they may go back to QE. Remember, QE was supposed to be a ONE time desperate policy to prevent another 1920-30's like global depression. There was so much debt and bad debt in the system that they could not allow them to fall. These bad debts were bought, and the crisis was averted by central banks being active purchasers... really we didn't solve the problem...we just papered it over with more debt. Once market participants realize that QE was not a 1 time desperate policy, and in fact will be the norm, people will realize these central banks are stuck. I argue their mandate is to keep assets propped up...but this will morph into the central banks being the BUYER of last resort. They will become the most powerful institution in human history. Now the question is, how much more stimulus can they provide? Again this goes back to confidence. THe ECB and BoJ have over 5 TRILLION on their balance sheet. The Fed went from 800 Billion to 4.2 TRILLION during their 4 rounds of QE... their balance sheet is probably around 3.8 TRILLION right now. Since the Fed is the central banks of central banks... how will the market respond if they go to 5 trillion? 6 trillion? Not to mention having to suppress yields meaning the Dollar may lose reserve status. This I believe is when market participants will realize we are on QE and central banks running the show forever. No free markets. 3) Money Again, no fiat money has ever survived. We seem to be in a currency war where central banks are trying to out do each other to see who can devalue faster. The US Dollar went up because every other central bank is cutting. In fact, the ECB out did the Fed. This is why many were saying the Fed should have cut 50 basis points to out do the ECB. It is a race to the bottom now. To see who can devalue their currency more. This will lead to a inflation and disaster. The middle class/main street will pay for this. Right now the market is confused on whether more rate cuts are coming. Powell delivered a some what hawkish rate cut. More cuts are coming. Look at the bond market. Again, in order to cut more, the Fed needs to do it in a way to save face and maintain confidence. "Oh our policies were working, now this happened so now we need to cut when we did not want/need too". Enter President Trump and his China tariffs a day after. If you believe the Fed mandate is to keep stocks propped up, the Fed will now be cutting rates (the Powell Put). They will keep stocks propped. In this environment, when REAL rates are yielding 0 or negative, why not just hold Gold? Central Banks will just continue to print and prop and even do the MMT thing meaning they will kill the fiat money. For MMT, you need a digital currency. The socialist economists realize that when people have a lot of money, but the number of goods and services do not increase, you will see inflation. The solution is the government "kills" excess money by removing it through taxation (excessive taxation). On a final note, Ray Dalio has spoken about this in the past. He says we are in the 7th inning (out of 9-Baseball reference) of a debt crisis. He has come out recently saying he recommends increasing one's allocation of Gold because there will be a 'paradigm shift'. Paul Tudor Jones has come out saying Gold will be the best investment for the next few years. Again, Gold is money. It is just a repeat of human cycles. Finally, I want you to all look at the charts. Gold had a very strong break above the 1360 resistance zone. Yes it can be retested, but I like Gold above this level. A very important break. 1600 is the next target, but I think we will surpass this as people realize the amount of trouble we are in. Now look at Gold compared to other fiat currencies: Gold vs the EUR not at all time highs yet. Gold vs the GBP made all time new highs just this week! Gold vs the Yen is testing highs. Gold vs the Australian Dollar making all time new highs! Gold vs the Kiwi Dollar not there yet. Gold vs the Canadian Dollar at all time new highs! You can also look at the other currencies, Lira, Yuan etc against Gold. This is telling us something! Fiat is dying and being devalued. This is now about wealth preservation going forward.
