Long-term Gold in a Time of CrisisBlack channel:
- main uptrend channel
- in play since 2013
- currently testing the top as resistance (weekly) or (probably) as support (daily)
Green channel:
- stronger uptrend channel
- in play since 2018
- still in play but it looks like a smaller downtrend channel is forming inside (red channel)
Red channel:
- downtrend channel
- possible LH on .786 fib. retr., aprox. 1500 EUR (round number)
Scenario 1 (bullish):
- red downtrend channel confirmed with a LH
- possible right shoulder forming around daily 50 SMA (green), between .50 and .618 fib. retr.
- daily RSI seems to agree with price action and momentum is slowing
- 4h RSI oversold and pointing downward
- 4h MACD looks like a bearish cross is on the way
- looking for ~1430-1460 EUR
Scenario 2 (bullish):
- alternatively, testing black channel as support (4h, daily)
- daily MACD bullish cross
- ~1560 EUR as resistance again
Scenario 3 (short-term bearish):
- still a fair change of happening due to the global pandemic
- after having successfully tested daily 200 SMA as support I believe this scenario is less likely
- we continue with the red channel (i.e. LH and LL)
- daily 200 SMA ends up working as support again
- or bottom of green channel provides support
XAUEUR trade ideas
XAUEUR buysFundamentals:
Gold is a safe haven commodity, ie. when depreciation of currencies, namely USD, is expected, traders will buy gold.
In view of the recent poor economic outlook, I expect many currencies to depreciate including USD, EUR and AUD.
Hence, I am looking to long XAUUSD, XAUEUR and XAUAUD.
Technicals:
D1 uptrend and wedge pattern
XAUEUR : Diamond acting as continuation patternI see an onfolding DIAMOND (half staff figure as continuation pattern) on the XAUUSD trade. The breakout move is equal to the entering move of the DIAMOND pattern. After the breakout has been accomplished (green arrow), a retest of the breakout level should be expected (annulation of the previous breakout).
Have a safe trade!
Trading Mickette from Germany
Gold asserting strong uptrendGold in Euro up strongly after prev weeks of breakout. A signal that equities are in danger triggered by prolonged supply chain disruption due to Covid-19. Governments around the world have already announced commitment to support local industries affected. Never done before actual damage was assessed, meaning that the impact to economies will be fairly large. Estimated duration of 2 quarters. Trading volumes steady, suggesting continued buying.
