Gold Bullish or Bearish

Recommended Posts

Hi Ammeo,

What do you think has driven Gold up from 1340 to 1475.?

I dont know .

But when I look at the market I see Asian pushes up the price and then for the rest of the 24 hr day , the price seems to go sideways..

Who do you think is buying.....besides MMS and zdo?

regards

bobc

For all of recent memory, the price of precious metals has been determined in the paper marketplace (e.g., COMEX; LBMA). That may now be changing.

 

...someone theorized this whole sell down ...which may not be over by any stretch... is to entice holders of the physicals to spread arb (ie exchange/dishoard their long physicals for long paper pm’s)

 

Anyone buying physicals right now ?… premiums over spot are frkn astounding!… gives some credence to that theory…

 

 

...

 

:off topc: re "That may now be changing"

"That" has a long way to go before it really changes. Using post counts as an estimate, the percentage of posts that address gold in terms of dollars (or one's local fiat) runs at around 99.99%... "That" will not really have changed until it shifts to a preponderance of posters really concieving of it and communicating about fiats in terms of gold... right now, most literally can't even conceive of such...gold bugs or not...

Some Asian markets + my SA market were closed today.Workers Day

Waste of makeup day.

Some technicals....

Gold has closed the big gap of two weeks ago and retraced about 60%

Now its going sideways with a nice pennant forming.... see attached

The breakout should be UP

 

THE TREND REMAINS UP.

Its a positive Lunar green period.

Big buyers somewhere.

QE continues

There is a big shortage of physical Gold.There is a waiting list for Kruger Rands in SA

 

BUT

I am nervous

The pennant shows lower highs

The stars will fall on our heads from the 5th -7th May.No discussion will be entered into.

So I will quietly close my long position until the 7th May.

regards bobc

Goldman is buying! Who do you think engineered this temporary dip in prices? ;)

 

MMS

 

Its also upon the demand, Gold's current demand is low and everyone expected this dip for a long time after such a long range market , the bigger chance of getting out of this range was breaking the support..

Gold Price Recovery Dampens Demand

 

The gold price recovery is interestingly not carrying over into the gold producing stocks. In spite of gold’s jump their profits have not been showing this. The gold producer GoldCorp's stock rose last week and this attracted a lot of attention from investors. Nonetheless, it is still below the 30bar EMA and unfortunately for bullish investors, it is on a downtrend.

 

How to Trade the Gold Recovery

I will be placing puts on GoldCorp and I am looking at any point above $29 as an entry for an end of the week expiration.

Gold has been rising after the European Central Bank (ECB) made the decision to cut the interest rate to 0.5% after it stayed 0.75% for 10 months. Additionally, ECB President Mario Draghi stated that the central bank is technically ready for negative deposit rates.

 

Investors are now going to pour more money on the precious metal since the interest rates are lower. There has already been an increased demand for the yellow metal after prices fell.

Pour money into PM's because of a 1/4 rate cut. :doh:

 

That is your hope.

 

Even after the corrective retracement off the April 16th bottom Gold still ended the month of April down almost -8%.

 

When does the pouring begin?

If the pms_fiat.jpg (1st attachment below) means nothing to you, then the pms_fiat.jpg below means nothing to you :roll eyes:

 

 

 

The Chinese have figured out what to do with all their depreciating dollars (see 2nd attachment below)

 

 

 

...

 

 

We are also seeing a rapid decoupling between spot prices and physical prices. In fact, it is quickly getting to the point where the spot price of gold and the spot price of silver are becoming irrelevant.

For example, demand for silver coins has become so intense that some dealers are charging premiums of up to 30 percent over spot price for silver eagles.

That would have been regarded as insane a few years ago, but people are now willing to pay these kinds of premiums. People are recognizing the importance of actually having physical gold and silver in their possession and they are willing to pay a significant premium in order to get it.

We are moving into uncharted territory. The paper gold scam is rapidly coming to an end...

Are We On The Verge Of Witnessing The Death Of The Paper Gold Scam? - BlackListedNews.com

 

I’m am largely getting around this by simply exchanging gold for silver at this point… but the other day I also bought some bags of junk silver with USD and paid a cognitive dissonance level of premium… story maker was mumbling all the way home “are you fkn crazy?”

thx. bobc

fwiw May12 - ~16 "the astro" opens some possibilities that trading just about everything will be fun :)

 

Hi zdo

Correct

I do believe that the viibrtions (excitability) caused by astro affect big markets more.

There are more participants. So Gold might just go sideways while the Dow moves down strongly.I also believe you cant use astro on its own as a trading signal.You need other info.

I actually think you know all this and pose your comments as a sort of test,never quite disclosing your own trading methods.

kind regards

bobc

Don't you people think it's about time to teach us the basics of your "astromental" analysis, so that this layman can have an idea of what you are saying?

 

BTW of an eclipse, the sun is up and shining here, Bob ! But it is still 9:45.

 

Overall agree we might still go below 1400 : -dmi above, ema 21 and 1485 level holding .

I did not want to SELL short and hold the position over the weekend.

My market closes in 45minutes.

I have missed a big move :crap:

No prawns and smoked salmon this weekend ;)

 

Decisions, Decisions ?

OK ...Reduce size to 2 contracts and sell short now..

Don't you people think it's about time to teach us the basics of your "astromental" analysis, so that this layman can have an idea of what you are saying?

Kuokam, I hear you but there are almost as many variations on astro wk as there are on technical wk in trading. I couldn’t teach "astromental", for one, because there are so many "astromentals". For two, I can’t teach period. On TL I think I have less than 20 posts on the subject…

In essence, you would need teach yourself the basics of your "astromentals" – finding those, if any, that speak to you and provide actionable information. You may be attracted to the ‘astros’ resonance with the ‘neural nets’… you may be attracted to ‘astros’ resonance with (and sufficientlyupsetting) the 'fluid nets', etc etc etc etc etc etc…

No matter which ways you master in astro trading , imo, ultimately you’re only learning additional ways of how to do summations of cycles… and the art is to learn how many degrees to lead… if you don’t have a deep passion for it, then just stay a layman – wtf is a layman anyways ? :)

 

Re disclosure: There are some astro methods that I use but don’t discuss… but they are horary, for personal applications, not for projecting possible collective actions. I am personally less curious in astro than in the past and even then my interests were in the developmental symbolism of the zodiac and then jumped to the long term, more esoteric cycles – galactic astro , instead of planetary , etc. etc. – completely skipping traditional, conventional, personality, etc. and astro's for and about the current masses.

 

Back in the early 90’s, I was blessed with a friendship with a trader who specialized in astro for his trading and so was also blessed with watching the reality of astro trading in action … I learned that as far as CIT goes, the aspects, etc. correctly identify around 20 out of the next 3 trend changes ;)… I get info feeds from passionate astro traders almost daily. This particular ‘May 14’ aspect I was yammering about is founded in Mars 180 Rahu

 

I think bobc uses a high end astro trading program. You could probably PM him and get details. I was just acknowledging, lightly engaging, and appreciating his astro talking. If no one does that then he will probably just go away… and if he goes away , I would miss him and his unique input.

 

I think posters should post about what they are ‘working’ on improving at the moment. For example, the ‘contrarian’ fx, etc. position trades I’ve been posting about lately... completely out of my wheel house. My PM trades are long term trades based on fundamentals – a type of trading that has also always been even more foreign to me. I was blessed to receive excellent advice in long term pm’s long ago… and ‘lucky’ enough to apply it rather assiduously… but that doesn’t mean I am a master at fundamental trading, by any means…

 

All the best,

zdo

I want to add a 4th dimension to my tools .... the GROUP MIND.

And this will open another can of worms.More snide remarks on top of the Full Moon.

The technical trader will say every thing is shown on the chart. Psychology is not required.

The price action trader (Brooks) will say just watch the price.

The fundamentalist will say earnings govern price.

4 members on this thread all agreed that Gold was going down.

What was on their minds?

Heres a nice quote by John Burman...(never heard of him)

"Our thought directions are mostly not our own but come from the group mind -which is itself a product of collective feeling at deeper levels.

That is why suddenly the mood changes and society ( traders ) moves in a new direction."

It requires a Group of people to sell Gold down $32. Why did the mood (trend) change?

 

The media will try and explain this after the event.

 

Our deeper levels are beyond my competence.

 

The Gold market has closed for the weekend.

Asia will open on Sunday night my time.Thats a BIG group.

What are they thinking?

Or am I wrong in this group mind theory.

Is it simply the retailers panicing and selling Gold down , and the big boys (MMS;) )waiting to add to their positions at a lower price. Normal trading activities.There is no group mind.

Comments are welcome.

regards

bobc

    • $AIZ Assurant stock nice breakout, from Stocks To Watch , see https://stockconsultant.com/?AIZ  
    • Date: 28th March 2024. The US Dollar Strengthens As Economists Believe The ECB Will Struggle To “Hold”. Early this morning, the Fed Governor advised “there is no rush to cut rates” and “the data within the upcoming months” will be vital. The US Dollar Index rises to a 1-month high. The value of the USD will largely be based on today’s data on economic growth, consumer sentiment and pending home sales. Dollar and index traders are closely monitoring tomorrow’s Core PCE Price Index which analysts expect will read 0.3%. A higher inflation reading can potentially pressure stocks and support the Dollar. Strong declines in NVIDIA and Netflix stocks pressured the NASDAQ on Wednesday. Though, buyers entered late in the session to boost the overall price. EURUSD The latest comments from members of the Federal Reserve are supporting the US Dollar. The forward guidance between members of the Federal Reserve is mainly not aligned. The Chairman advises the Fed does not need much more proof for the regulator to feel comfortable reducing rates. Whereas the Fed Governor, Mr Waller, advises there is no rush, and he wants to see a few months of data before determining the next move. Therefore, the upcoming inflation and employment data will remain vital and could even push back rate hikes further. According to economists, the Federal Reserve will cut the interest rate on 3 occasions this year, but the timing of the first cut is less certain and may change depending on upcoming data. A positive factor for traders is that EURUSD exchange is not witnessing conflicting currencies. The US Dollar is trading 0.12% higher while the Euro is declining against most currencies. The Euro is trading 0.06% lower against the Pound and the Canadian Dollar and 0.16% lower against the Japanese Yen. Yesterday, the head of the Bank of Italy, Mr Cipollone, said that the authorities were confident that inflation would return to the target of 2.0% by mid–2025. He also supports the lower of interest rate and will use this as a basis for adjusting monetary policy. The Euro is generally under pressure as investors believe the European Central Bank will struggle to avoid cuts if the Fed decide to delay their adjustments. The US Dollar will be influenced by four major economic data releases. The US Final GDP, Weekly Unemployment Claims, Pending Home Sales and Consumer Sentiment Index. If these read higher than expectations with the weekly unemployment claims dropping, the US Dollar is likely to witness further support. However, investors should note the main release will be tomorrow’s Core PCE Price Index. Traders are expecting no major news for Europe and volatility levels may fall tomorrow as European markets are closed for Easter. Technical analysis currently points towards a continued downward trend. The price is trading below the neutral on the RSI and below the 75-Bar EMA. However, investors should note this will also be dependent on upcoming US data. USA100 The price of the USA100 was under pressure throughout the whole US session but was saved by an increased volume of buyers late in the session. However, a positive point is the components held onto their value. Even though the index fell in value, only 28% of the components declined. Investors will now turn their attention towards tomorrow’s PCE Price Index and the upcoming earnings season which will start in mid-April. The price is now trading slightly above the Moving Averages but slightly below the 50.00 on the RSI. Therefore, technical analysis remains at the “neutral” level and continues to indicate a larger price range. If today’s economic data is positive the stock market can witness confidence and support as this continues to indicate a soft landing. Though, if the data is too strong, it could also trigger a hawkish Fed which is known to be negative for the USA100. Always trade with strict risk management.
