Gold Bullish or Bearish

Recommended Posts

Don't know where you got the 54 number from, but that is yet another illustration of all your interventions: pointless and often out of context.

The wizard you would like to present yourself as should know that absolutely anything can and do happen in the markets, yet you are reacting as if a subjective support can stop a currency from falling further. Depending on time frame and tactic, you can be bullish gold and make money, you can be bearish and make money.

There is a trading contest going on here at TL. Dare take it for every one to judge your abilities by themselves. Until you've done that, I would advise you to keep your ramblings for yourself.

 

 

 

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.

Opps $84 a typo, not $54. Ya got me.

 

Same difference.

 

$84 change in price for a market trading close to $1400 woopee

 

Now where did you get wizard from. :rofl:

 

All you gold bulls are so transparent. You get upset when price doesn't ONLY go up and up.

 

God forbide anyone says the chart looks bearish.

 

Can't be, never happen, got to be a conspiracy. The Fed, the big money, the exchanges.

 

They are all out to get little old me.

 

No problem. I will continue to post to others who feel it is worthwhile to have more than one opinion/cheerleader talking higher and higher without justification that makes sense.

 

While price goes lower and lower.

Dear kuokam

Relax!!!

You gave your view.

SunTrader gave his view.

I also find SunTraders posts rather abrasive ,but thats his style and I dont think he is being personal.

 

NOW, Friday was a major turn in the market, and it turned DOWN.

You should be SHORT a few contracts, with a stop at 1423.

Only BUY above 1423 for a short term trade.

Only BUY above 1500 for an investment.

 

And be careful of the dollar

This weekends reports show investers bailing out of emerging markets and back into US

Bonds. That means they have to BUY dollars to make the trade.So I dont think the dollar will weaken. But as you rightly comment, its not certain.

 

And most important....... when the S & P goes up , Gold goes down

 

Some more...

India has increased their duty on Gold to reduce demand and help their Balance of payments.There is still huge demand for Gold , but until Paper Gold has sold off ,the trend is down.So the "edge "is to watch the Gold ETF's and see if they are getting smaller.

Here in South Africa , they are still the same size ,so I wonder if my theory is correct.

 

Kind regards

PS $84 is a massive move for short term traders

 

How do you define this?

 

I think 3-5 days.

 

But if someone missed the exact bottom on (May 20th) that represents $53 right there.

 

Truthfully now how do you see the price action since the low.

 

Uptrend or sideways?

Hi SunTrader,

I know I'm a poor writer, but I cant be that bad.

I am SHORT.

There is no uptrend or sideways movement until I am stopped out at 1423.

Then I will start again.

And tomorrow morning, if Asia Gold closes down , I will add 2 more contracts.....SHORT

And I post my trades IN ADVANCE.

MORE....

When Gold falls , all marginal mines will fall faster than the majors.

So I will also short Harmony. Thats a stock in my market .

SELL 1000 Harmony at 10minutes after the OPEN for R2 a share profit.

 

regards

bobc

 

PS I dont make more money by declaring my trades in advance.

I crystalize my thinking. I force myself to find all the pros and cons.

I try to leave price action untill last, because thats the confuser.

It works.

I must be a poor writer too.

 

Because I wasn't questioning if you were long or short.

 

Just what you thought the price action has been doing since the May 20th bottom.

 

Nevermind.

Gold’s Secret Enemy: The Yen

 

Gold?s Secret Enemy: The Yen

 

People have blamed gold's 18 percent decline this year on many different factors: a lack of fear in the market, a bubble that has burst, talk that the Federal Reserve will soon end qualitative easing. But some market participants say the single biggest factor could be the Japanese yen.

 

"It is difficult to deny the strong correlation between the yen's decline and the consequent collapse in gold," said Jim Iuorio, TJM Institutional Services managing director and contributor to CNBC.com's "Futures Now."

 

"As in comedy, timing is everything, and the announcement of drastic liquidity in measures in Japan, coinciding with massive long positions in the gold market, led to the exaggerated downward move in gold."

 

As the Bank of Japan's easing policy has led the yen to decline in value, the U.S. dollar has gained relative value. And a stronger dollar logically means that people are willing to pony up fewer of those dollars for gold, so gold prices should drop.

 

The trade seemed to have turned around last week, when the yen surged in value. But that wasn't enough for gold to make a serious run, even in the short term.

 

"At this point, even a stabilizing yen may not be enough to stop the negativity surrounding the gold market," Iuorio said. "When the catalyst disappears, it doesn't always mean that sentiment will revert back."

 

Worse, the yen's recent strength turned back around on Monday, ahead of Tuesday's Bank of Japan meeting announcement, which some think will lead to more yen weakness.

 

"In the last week or two, the markets have been disappointed by what dollar/yen has done," said Todd Gordon, founder of TradingAnalysis.com. "But I bought dollar/yen, because I think the Bank of Japan is scheduled to do something on asset purchases to reignite confidence."

 

 

In the longer term, Gordon believes that increasing U.S.Treasury yields will drive dollar/yen higher. He says a spike in yields would be good for gold if it reflected inflation fears. But since this move is due to expectations that the Fed will roll down bond purchases, Gordon says it will offer no help to the gold trade.

 

"This is an inflation-less recovery, and that leaves gold behind," Gordon said.

Gordon believes gold will be flat. But Kathy Lien of BK Asset Management takes an even dimmer view of gold, due to her expectations for the dollar.

 

"Simply because there's some uncertainty, you could see a bit of gold strength in the short term," Lien told CNBC.com. "But I believe the dollar is still headed higher, and for that reason, I'm still bearish on gold."

 

Richard Ross, global technical strategist at Auerbach Grayson, agrees that dollar strength should continue to lead to gold weakness.

 

"All good things must come to an end, and the ominous specter of a stronger dollar, higher rates, stronger stock market and absence of inflation—all against the backdrop of a rapidly deteriorating chart at the tail end of a decade-long bull market—strongly suggests that there are superior alternative investments than gold at the current time," Ross said.

 

"Now, if you want to keep some around so that you can call yourself an intellectual and sleep better at night," Ross added, "then be my guest."

Hi Sun Trader

Have you back tested this Yen/Gold correlation to see if it has worked before?

Anybody attempting to catch the falling knife yet? Has the giddy rush of fed policies evaporated yet out of the markets or shall the knife continuing falling chopping off fingers as it slides through the hands of traders and investors? How much more bloodletting before the irrational enthusiam evaporates..... to more or less quote a previous fed ..um... leader...

 

You ever just wonder what the smart money does on days like today? After all they ..well..sort of engineered ...the catastrophic rise....didn't they? Many traders were running on high octane...now they are blowing out bad toxic gasses...guess who is laughing?

    • 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.
