Gold Bullish or Bearish

Recommended Posts

On the spec trades, as ‘planned’ at

http://www.traderslaboratory.com/forums/market-analysis/12054-gold-bullish-bearish-44.html#post179017

was stopped out last Thu near 22.30

and, as planned, took on three loads at ~21.67 and one at ~20.67 last night – each load scaled arithmetically larger than previous…

Have two more scaled load limit orders at 19.67 and 18.67 to reach full allocation for this trade. May have to wait a while… or later, may have put stops above (oco’ing the limits) to fill the allocation instead ... I remain overall bullish on PM’s … but this ‘correction’ may last for some time… it has already become a long drawn out affair... largely a rotation out of etf's, etc. into physicals

 

 

all the best.

Hello Zdo, is your long silver a long term bet? What is your plan regarding trade management and do you mind sharing your rationale?

 

Also is there a particular reason why you buy silver instead of gold?

 

After yesterday's rally, I see very good support in both gold and Silver and I am bullish.

Some things to remember amid the volatility of the gold price...

 

When volatility prevails in the gold market, I love seeing so many different opinions because it promotes critical thinking and healthy markets, writes Frank Holmes, CEO and chief investment officer of US Global Investors.

 

But because gold is unlike any other commodity, many perspectives can be extreme, such as "golden Freud" who take pleasure in gold bugs' pain.

 

With this in mind, here are four facts to remember about gold that should help neutralize those extreme bullish and bearish views.

from Larrys post....thanks.

I thought this was interesting - given everyone keeps thinking the run up in gold is based on the USD and the continual curse of the fiat currency - and yes of course there is probably some element of truth there.....but its amazing how then people think everything is based on this when if its true that half of the actual demand comes from two places outside the USA, it makes you wonder if those who think they know what is driving the gold price really have any idea. (which is why i am not such a big believer in the grand manipulations)

 

3. A lack of love from the Love Trade is affecting fundamentals

 

The Love Trade, on the other hand, is the buying of gold out of an enduring love for gold. Two emerging countries that make up almost half of gold demand—China and India—have had a long relationship with the precious metal that is intertwined with their culture, religion and economy. With half of the world's population buying gold for their friends and family, it's important to put into context what is happening in their countries.

Listen to Marc Faber - well-known longterm Gold Bull - that he is buying Gold and will continue buying more Gold but that he doesn't, repeat doesn't believe in the manipulation conspiracy theories.

 

Funny though that he points out Gold is up 400% from its 1999 low but then say S&P 500 is only up 2% above its alltime high. An apples to watermelon comparison taking one from its low and one from its high. Meaning only Gold buyers catch low entries.

that is the very reason it is being manipulated BECAUSE of the fundamentals. read #4 again carefully....

oh I thought the manipulation was all about the USD and the evil FED, because that all you generally hear from the gold bulls. But we dont want the facts to ruin a good story.

 

Whereas when you throw in the actual fundamentals, then it might actually give some credibility to the story....

 

but even then with fundamentals all being bullish, there are plenty of instruments that go down in price - why - (and looking at point 4 it puts it into perspective)....maybe the reason something looks 'oversold' is because it is overvalued......

 

If ever the last straw in an argument when you know you are clinging desperately at backing up a belief......use the oversold, over bought argument....cause that always adds balance to the argument! (you know its cheap/expensive because its oversold/overbought :doh:)

 

.......................

dont worry Patucca, I am all for people buying gold, it makes sense in the right amount and at the right time - i just dont buy into the extreme gold bugs and the manipulation and conspiracy theories that so often abound with it.

Just because the gold market has not crashed like this before does not mean that it is now cheap (just cheaper), it does not mean that it now offers value (just better value than higher prices), does not mean that it the crash was caused by a manipulated move. (Thats not evidence - its probably more evidence of a bubble bursting if anything)

 

all depends on trading what you see and not what you believe.

Gold is certainly at interesting levels now, especially if it consolidates around here.

Amen brother !

My understanding of gold fundies :

1/ the USA are the by far the greatest owner of gold of all kinds;

2/ they have decided to unload some, for whatever reason;

3/ logically the prices drop.

 

 

 

 

Yes, new buying will provide pavement for a smooth ride down to sub $1200.

it both...fundamentals AND the dollar.....you don't see that...i understand that....but see the fundamentals are too good and will wreck the Feds use of the dollar so they had to try make the fundamentals look bad...this move down was manipulative..out of the norm..and it will come bak to bite them terribly...in may not be this year..it may be next year...but p.m. will come back hard and will finish the race much like secretariat did in the belmont stakes.

 

He first beat Sham in the kentucky derby in record time...2 weeks later he beat sham in the preakness. June the 9 1973 he slammed sham and the rest smashing the world record and and winning by 31 lenghts. Many feel that record may never be broken...

 

Precious metals are secretariat.. The dollar is SHAM........

From a Bloomberg story:

 

"Investors sold 467 metric tons valued at about $20.9 billion from exchange-traded products this year as some lost faith in gold as a store of value amid an improving U.S. economy and rally in equities."

 

Isn't this a ridiculous way of putting things?

 

Lost faith in gold as a store of value so they ........ sold their paper Gold. :doh:

 

:rofl:

 

Holding for the long term makes sense - if you also get in at a good price. Anything else is trading and Bloomberg doesn't have a clue about that, unless they tapped into their customer's trading terminals. Oh wait they do that now. Still don't have a clue.

Gold: Near Term Puts

 

Gold is once again on the rise, but this is just a blip in my opinion. The shiny precious metal is on an uptrend and has hit a near term resistance point. The technical indicators are bearish in multiple time frames and it could dip below $1350 as soon as next week.

 

Equities should regain their upward momentum next week after a rough time last week which was understandable given the elevated levels.

More Details: Gold Bearish

 

Gold/silver price forecasts for 2013 have been lowered by market analysts. The reasons are weak fundamentals and less demand from investors.

 

The business cycle has been good for bulls and this has put downward pressure on gold/silver prices. There has been a lot of growth in the global economy along with rising nominal yields. There hasn't been much inflation and so investors aren't that impressive with the hedging effects of buying gold/silver.

 

I could see silver prices going below $20 per ounce in the coming months and gold should fall below $1350 in the next couple of weeks.

A bullish view is not to be dismissed altogether:

 

- We have just retraced 50 % of last up move;

- I see a hidden divergence on the rsi, which is well below 30:

- $ is weakening across the board.

We have retraced 50% of sideways move not up move.

 

Divergences and high/low oscillator readings don't mean much to me. I look at them but where we are in trends, wave counts and price action itself are far more important - to me.

 

Dollar index is at support (see chart) eurusd and gbpusd are at resistance, audusd and nzdusd both strong downtrends, usdchf and usdjpy at support, usdcad above support so in no way do I see overall dollar weakness currently or anytime soon? The opposite.

"To me... to me..." I was not personally addressing you and yourself, Sir.

I generally fail to understand you. Especially, how can something that hasn't gone anywhere retrace 50%? A 84 full points move is not what I consider a sideways walk.

Anyway it is my point of view. Everybody is responsible for his analysis and the ensuing decisions. No need for arguments, the market is there to tell the right.

Don't get yer p..... in a bunch.

 

I put "to me" because it is obvious others including yourself see things differently. Nothing wrong with that. That is how I see things - my opinion for whatever it is worth and might very well be wrong.

 

But what is 54 points in a market presently trading in the high 1300's?

 

As attached chart shows (and I would think yours does as well) since the bottom on 5/20/13 there have been 7 green candle up closes and 6 red ones down closes. Presently gold is down 17.5% for the year.

 

The upmove you see took 13 days, then 1 day to correct 50%, which should tell you something about the strength behind it.

 

I see a sideways correction and then resumption of downmove.

 

Time will tell.

    • How's about other crypto exchanges? Are all they banned in your country or only Binance?
    • Be careful who you blame.   I can tell you one thing for sure.   Effective traders don’t blame others when things start to go wrong.   You can hang onto your tendency to play the victim, or the martyr… but if you want to achieve in trading, you have to be prepared to take responsibility.   People assign reasons to outcomes, whether based on internal or external factors.   When traders face losses, it's common for them to blame bad luck, poor advice, or other external factors, rather than reflecting on their own personal attributes like arrogance, fear, or greed.   This is a challenging lesson to grasp in your trading journey, but one that holds immense value.   This is called attribution theory. Taking responsibility for your actions is the key to improving your trading skills. Pause and ask yourself - What role did I play in my financial decisions?   After all, you were the one who listened to that source, and decided to act on that trade based on the rumour. Attributing results solely to external circumstances is what is known as having an ‘external locus of control’.   It's a concept coined by psychologist Julian Rotter in 1954. A trader with an external locus of control might say, "I made a profit because the markets are currently favourable."   Instead, strive to develop an "internal locus of control" and take ownership of your actions.   Assume that all trading results are within your realm of responsibility and actively seek ways to improve your own behaviour.   This is the fastest route to enhancing your trading abilities. A trader with an internal locus of control might proudly state, "My equity curve is rising because I am a disciplined trader who faithfully follows my trading plan."

    • SELF IMPROVEMENT.   The whole self-help industry began when Dale Carnegie published How to Win Friends and Influence People in 1936. Then came other classics like Think And Grow Rich by Napoleon Hill, Awaken the Giant Within by Tony Robbins toward the end of the century.   Today, teaching people how to improve themselves is a business. A pure ruthless business where some people sell utter bullshit.   There are broke Instagrammers and YouTubers with literally no solid background teaching men how to be attractive to women, how to begin a start-up, how to become successful — most of these guys speaking nothing more than hollow motivational words and cliche stuff. They waste your time. Some of these people who present themselves as hugely successful also give talks and write books.   There are so many books on financial advice, self-improvement, love, etc and some people actually try to read them. They are a waste of time, mostly.   When you start reading a dozen books on finance you realize that they all say the same stuff.   You are not going to live forever in the learning phase. Don't procrastinate by reading bull-shit or the same good knowledge in 10 books. What we ought to do is choose wisely.   Yes. A good book can change your life, given you do what it asks you to do.   All the books I have named up to now are worthy of reading. Tim Ferriss, Simon Sinek, Robert Greene — these guys are worthy of reading. These guys teach what others don't. Their books are unique and actually, come from relevant and successful people.   When Richard Branson writes a book about entrepreneurship, go read it. Every line in that book is said by one of the greatest entrepreneurs of our time.   When a Chinese millionaire( he claims to be) Youtuber who releases a video titled “Why reading books keeps you broke” and a year later another one “My recommendation of books for grand success” you should be wise to tell him to jump from Victoria Falls.   These self-improvement gurus sell you delusions.   They say they have those little tricks that only they know that if you use, everything in your life will be perfect. Those little tricks. We are just “making of a to-do-list before sleeping” away from becoming the next Bill Gates.   There are no little tricks.   There is no success-mantra.   Self-improvement is a trap for 99% of the people. You can't do that unless you are very, very strong.   If you are looking for easy ways, you will only keep wasting your time forgetting that your time on this planet is limited, as alive humans that is.   Also, I feel that people who claim to read like a book a day or promote it are idiots. You retain nothing. When you do read a good book, you read slow, sometimes a whole paragraph, again and again, dwelling on it, trying to internalize its knowledge. You try to understand. You think. It takes time.   It's better to read a good book 10 times than 1000 stupid ones.   So be choosy. Read from the guys who actually know something, not some wannabe ‘influencers’.   Edit: Think And Grow Rich was written as a result of a project assigned to Napoleon Hill by Andrew Carnegie(the 2nd richest man in recent history). He was asked to study the most successful people on the planet and document which characteristics made them great. He did extensive work in studying hundreds of the most successful people of that time. The result was that little book.   Nowadays some people just study Instagram algorithms and think of themselves as a Dale Carnegie or Anthony Robbins.
