Gold Bullish or Bearish

Recommended Posts

Bounced today. Need to break this if downtrend is to continue:

 

My opinion is that geopolitical news tends to blur trend lines.Trend is up in S&P for a very long time. Vola will change at some point, but trend is still intact.

I agree. I think we are getting our signals crossed.

 

Downtrend was meant only as the current move down from highs.

 

Trendline (so far) and trend overall is still up. :thumbs up:

maybe it's a bit late, but here's why I would do: any trend line that is broken is the subject of a fake break..........in order to avoid that, one should wait for the next swing, and then just draw two horizontal lines (one at the previous lows in your chart, and the next one at the highs before the swing)....if the highs are taken, then the new trend line is the true one, and you should connect the recent lows with the last low price made with that swing......if the lows are taken, then the new trend line to the downside should be drawn from the absolute highs in the top left of your chart and through the new swing's high......quite simple, isn't it? ;)

And its a bear market......or is it?

Draw a couple of trend lines and decide

Oh its over (the rally). If I am right that is? :)

 

Hi SunTrader,

You are either right or wrong......50% of the time.;)

You dont sound confident when you say..."if I am right?"

Please explain how your chart works.

Oh I am confident but one can never be too confident when it comes to trading and probabilities. I'd say 70/30 or maybe even 80/20.

 

But chart is showing ABC correction over at recent swing high and bear market resuming. But for good measure a daily close (not intraday) below 1343 trendline marker and it is on.

 

Aug 28th time, price and pattern - with a pinbar thrown in for good measure says so.

 

Note time equality of wave A (16 days) and wave C (15 days)

Gold is in a channel. Gold is bullish. Price traded up just above a prior resistance level (see yellow circle) then reversed. Notice the volume on the bar that made the high price. Lots of volume but low close. That means lots of selling took place on that bar. Hence price went down on next two bars. So, price is in a PB of the bull channel. How big of a pullback? The trendline (pink) was broken. But most breakouts fail. However, the trendline and top channel line form a wedge. This is a topping wedge. Indicates weakness also. The trend could resume on the next trading session but i would think there is a 60% chance that price will continue down to, or close to, the first green horizontal line before reversing for a continuation of the bull trend. There is a 40% chance price will continue down to or close to the second horizontal green line. This would bring price down to the bottom channel line.

 

Notice the vol on the last two PB BARS. Lower volume. That is good volume for a continuation of the bull trend after the PB completes.

 

How would play this? At this point I would look to go long near or at the first horizontal green line IF the volume stays small. If were to continue the uptrend before reaching the first green line then I would get long at the market. If i got long at first green line and price continues down through it by more than 10 points i would exit for a loss and wait for next long entry at the second green line. Might would even short and get back my 10 points. If it makes the second green line then I would go long again. If it stops me out at the second green line then my bias would be changing to bearish and pretty much confirmed bearish (on a day chart) if it trades thru 1300.

 

Much depends on the correlation of price and vol and spread size over the next few sessions but this how i view this present price action.

 

The red boxes indicate the ATM areas for trading mini ranges. Once bullish trends starts back again there will be many more of these boxes. They, of course, also appear in downtrend areas so they can be played there too.

 

In general i see gold as still bullish but in a PB. I look for it to resume the bull trend.

 

Again, never do as i do and never do as i say do..never trust any projections i make...this is all for information only and to make you get a good laugh...and for me to gloat if i happen to be correct.....:rofl: :rofl: the chart is from barchart..the markings are mine.

very feasible capturing 9 to 18 points per contract..although this isn't ATM BUT but in another instance, grabbing a 15 point scalp: just since i posted my channel chart gold traded down to the general area of the first horizontal green line on my chart and went back up enough for a 15 or so point scalp. Actually...if a trader got long at the green line he could take 1/2 off at 15 to 18 pts and let other half go for the ride..to where....ever...

Hi Patuca,

You make an interesting comment....take off half the trade at a certain point.

I wonder what other traders think of this, rather than letting the full trade run.

I know Might Mouse and SIUYA have made some comments on this somewhere on TL.

I like to let the full trade run.Am I wrong?

I can't say you are wrong. You just run the risk that if you have misjudged the direction or strenght of the market then you can end up giving back your profits. In others words, you can be 20 points to the good and give it all back..it is a disgusting feeling... I just like to lock in some profits then adjust my stop up (in an up move) so that if i get stopped out on the last half of my position i still end up with a profit from the first half.

 

Some traders do the opposite...they scale in and add as market moves their way. While they are scaling in i am scaling out and putting money in the bank...jingle..jingle..how sweet the sound...once i am flat IF the move continues on up i just jump back in for more jingles...at some point there will be a pullback...potential quick short scalp.. I try to never follow PB very far unless volumes increases as the pullback is being made...i am speaking of trading here and not long term investing...ok

Took me awhile to come up with something appropriate - this will have to do:

 

 

Thank you SunTrader

Regis is a beautiful horse. :)

But Regis is a champion. The horse I was going to buy, before I got stopped out was more of a plodder. Thats why I was going to call him....... :rofl::rofl::rofl:

Kind regards

    • MNST Monster Beverage stock, top of range breakout above 60.45, from Stocks to Watch at https://stockconsultant.com/?MNST
    • there is no avoiding loses to be honest, its just how the market is. you win some and hopefully more, but u do lose some. 
    • Date: 11th July 2025.   Demand For Gold Rises As Trump Announces Tariffs!   Gold prices rose significantly throughout the week as investors took advantage of the 2.50% lower entry level. Investors also return to the safe-haven asset as the US trade policy continues to escalate. As a result, investors are taking a more dovish tone. The ‘risk-off’ appetite is also something which can be seen within the stock market. The NASDAQ on Thursday took a 0.90% dive within only 30 minutes.   Trade Tensions Escalate President Trump has been teasing with new tariffs throughout the week. However, the tariffs were confirmed on Thursday. A 35% tariff on Canadian imports starting August 1st, along with 50% tariffs on copper and goods from Brazil. Some experts are advising that Brazil has been specifically targeted due to its association with the BRICS.   However, the President has not directly associated the tariffs with BRICS yet. According to President Trump, Brazil is targeting US technology companies and carrying out a ‘witch hunt’against former Brazilian President Jair Bolsonaro, a close ally who is currently facing prosecution for allegedly attempting to overturn the 2022 Brazilian election.   Although Brazil is one of the largest and fastest-growing economies in the Americas, it is not the main concern for investors. Investors are more concerned about Tariffs on Canada. The White House said it will impose a 35% tariff on Canadian imports, effective August 1st, raised from the earlier 25% rate. This covers most goods, with exceptions under USMCA and exemptions for Canadian companies producing within the US.   It is also vital for investors to note that Canada is among the US;’s top 3 trading partners. The increase was justified by Trump citing issues like the trade deficit, Canada’s handling of fentanyl trafficking, and perceived unfair trade practices.   The President is also threatening new measures against the EU. These moves caused US and European stock futures to fall nearly 1%, while the Dollar rose and commodity prices saw small gains. However, the main benefactor was Silver and Gold, which are the two best-performing metals of the day.   How Will The Fed Impact Gold? The FOMC indicated that the number of members warming up to the idea of interest rate cuts is increasing. If the Fed takes a dovish tone, the price of Gold may further rise. In the meantime, the President pushing for a 3% rate cut sparked talk of a more dovish Fed nominee next year and raised worries about future inflation.   Meanwhile, jobless claims dropped for the fourth straight week, coming in better than expected and supporting the view that the labour market remains strong after last week’s solid payroll report. Markets still expect two rate cuts this year, but rate futures show most investors see no change at the next Fed meeting. Gold is expected to finish the week mostly flat.       Gold 15-Minute Chart     If the price of Gold increases above $3,337.50, buy signals are likely to materialise again. However, the price is currently retracing, meaning traders are likely to wait for regained momentum before entering further buy trades. According to HSBC, they expect an average price of $3,215 in 2025 (up from $3,015) and $3,125 in 2026, with projections showing a volatile range between $3,100 and $3,600   Key Takeaway Points: Gold Rises on Safe-Haven Demand. Gold gained as investors reacted to rising trade tensions and market volatility. Canada Tariffs Spark Concern. A 35% tariff on Canadian imports drew attention due to Canada’s key trade role. Fed Dovish Shift Supports Gold. Growing expectations of rate cuts and Trump’s push for a 3% cut boosted the gold outlook. Gold Eyes Breakout Above $3,337.5. Price is consolidating; a move above $3,337.50 could trigger new buy signals. Always trade with strict risk management.

    • Back in the early 2000s, Netflix mailed DVDs to subscribers.   It wasn’t sexy—but it was smart. No late fees. No driving to Blockbuster.   People subscribed because they were lazy. Investors bought the stock because they realized everyone else is lazy too.   Those who saw the future in that red envelope? They could’ve caught a 10,000%+ move.   Another story…   Back in the mid-2000s, Amazon launched Prime.   It wasn’t flashy—but it was fast.   Free two-day shipping. No minimums. No hassle.   People subscribed because they were impatient. Investors bought the stock because they realized everyone hates waiting.   Those who saw the future in that speedy little yellow button? They could’ve caught another 10,000%+ move.   Finally…   Back in 2011, Bitcoin was trading under $10.   It wasn’t regulated—but it worked.   No bank. No middleman. Just wallet to wallet.   People used it to send money. Investors bought it because they saw the potential.   Those who saw something glimmering in that strange orange coin? They could’ve caught a 100,000%+ move.   The people who made those calls weren’t fortune tellers. They just noticed something simple before others did.   A better way. A quiet shift. A small edge. An asymmetric bet.   The red envelope fixed late fees. The yellow button fixed waiting. The orange coin gave billions a choice.   Of course, these types of gains are rare. And they happen only once in a blue moon. That’s exactly why it’s important to notice when the conditions start to look familiar.   Not after the move. Not once it's on CNBC.

    • What These Attacks Look Like There are several ways you could get hacked. And the threats compound by the day.   Here’s a quick rundown:   Phishing: Fake emails from your “bank.” Click the link, give your password—game over.   Ransomware: Malware that locks your files and demands crypto. Pay up, or it’s gone.   DDoS: Overwhelm a website with traffic until it crashes. Like 10,000 bots blocking the door. Often used by nations.   Man-in-the-Middle: Hackers intercept your messages on public WiFi and read or change them.   Social Engineering: Hackers pose as IT or drop infected USB drives labeled “Payroll.”   You don’t need to be “important” to be a target.   You just need to be online.   What You Can Do (Without Buying a Bunker) You don’t have to be tech-savvy.   You just need to stop being low-hanging fruit.   Here’s how:   Use a YubiKey (physical passkey device) or Authenticator app – Ditch text message 2FA. SIM swaps are real. Hackers often have people on the inside at telecom companies.   Use a password manager (with Yubikey) – One unique password per account. Stop using your dog’s name.   Update your devices – Those annoying updates patch real security holes. Use them.   Back up your files – If ransomware hits, you don’t want your important documents held hostage.   Avoid public WiFi for sensitive stuff – Or use a VPN.   Think before you click – Emails that feel “urgent” are often fake. Go to the websites manually for confirmation.   Consider Starlink in case the internet goes down – I think it’s time for me to make the leap. Don’t Panic. Prepare. (Then Invest.)   I spent an hour in that basement bar reading about cyberattacks—and watching real-world systems fall apart like dominos.   The internet going down used to be an inconvenience. Now, it’s a warning.   Cyberwar isn’t coming. It’s here.   And the next time your internet goes out, it might not just be your router.   Don’t panic. Prepare.   And maybe keep a backup plan in your back pocket. Like a local basement bar with good bourbon—and working WiFi.   As usual, we’re on the lookout for more opportunities in cybersecurity. Stay tuned.   Author: Chris Campbell (AltucherConfidential) Profits from free accurate cryptos signals: https://www.predictmag.com/
