BTW i personally dont agree with the analysts with their next week's gold outlook...i think this major triple bottom on gold will give some further upward to gold next week...

Though 1180-1182 had provided support for the 3rd time, but no highs created. Infact lower lows have been created which could interest the bears more here though.

Could this be one of the reasons of GOLD's recent 6 week high run?

 

Indian Gold Demand Jumps During Run-Up To Diwali Festival

 

Gold demand from India picked up significantly ahead of the approaching Diwali festival, analysts and traders reported.

 

Diwali, the festival of lights observed by the country’s Hindu population, falls on Thursday and is an auspicious time for buying gold. India, in turn, is one of the world’s two largest gold-buying nations.

 

“Demand in India has noticeably strengthened ahead of this year's Diwali, especially after gold prices traded around the year's lows during the month or so before this key festival,” said Joni Teves, analyst with UBS

R.J. O'Brien's Toth: $1,232 Key Short-Term Level For December Gold

Thursday October 23, 2014

 

Technically, the area around $1,232 an ounce is a key short-term level for Comex December gold, says Dave Toth, markets insights senior analyst with R.J. O’Brien. This was the low from Friday before the contract ran to a nearly six-week high of $1,255.60 on Tuesday. “Such a sub-$1,232 failure would, in fact, break this month's uptrend from (the Oct. 6) $1,183.30 low and expose AT LEAST a correction of this rally,” Toth says in a research note. “And against the backdrop of a three-year downtrend and the prospect that October’s recovery is just a correction of the decline from July's $1,346.80 high (on a continuation chart), a resumption of the secular bear to new lows below $1,183 is also on the table.”

Large Speculators Build Bullish Gold Positions For Second Week In Latest CFTC Data

 

For the second straight week, large speculators added to their bullish Comex gold futures and options holdings as prices rose during the timeframe covered by the Commodity Futures Trading Commission weekly data.

 

Gold was the only metal to see a rise in bullish positions in the disaggregated and legacy reports for the time period ending Oct. 21. As it was in the previous report, the situation was mixed for rest of the metals complex. In silver, funds trimmed a net-short position in the disaggregated report and reduced a net-bullish position in the legacy data. In the platinum group metals, large speculators cut bullish exposure in both reports, while in copper, funds raised their net-short position.

 

Analysts at Commerzbank noted the net-long positions held by large speculators have doubled in the past two reports and they express some caution. “The price rise of around $40 per troy ounce in this review period was thus largely speculatively driven und therefore has a shaky footing in our view,” they said.

Hello Ammeo,

 

I get more info about that,

 

Metals prices were mixed during the time period covered by the latest CFTC report. Comex December gold gained $17.40 to $1,251.70 an ounce. December silver gained 14.6 cents to $17.549. January platinum rose $10.70 to $1,282 an ounce. December palladium fell $19.10 to $776. Comex December copper fell 6.2 cents to $3.028 a pound.

 

Managed-money traders added to holdings for the second consecutive week, pushing their net-long position to 75,273 contracts. These traders added 10,253 longs and cut 13,025 gross shorts. Producers’ and swap dealers’ net-short positions rose as they both added gross shorts and cut gross longs positions.

 

The non-commercial traders in the gold legacy report also added new longs and cut shorts, doing so for the second week. They added 12,683 gross long contracts and cut 11,236 gross shorts. They are now net-long 111,279 contracts.

 

Commercials are net-short and bolstered that position by adding many more gross shorts than gross longs.

Credit Agricole Looks For Gold To Stabilize In 4Q, Soften In 2015

 

Credit Agricole sees gold stabilizing in the fourth quarter on “conflicting” influences but then soften in 2015.

 

There is potential for long-term exchange-traded-fund investment to be further reduced, which could weigh on gold in dollar terms. “In the absence of a more persistent financial scare -- not in our forecasts -- this moderation in longer-term investor demand should continue,” the bank said.

“Central bank diversification away from gold continues, removing a previous source of support,” Credit Agricole said. “However, speculation surrounding potential SNB purchases, lifting its share from the current 8% to 20% -- over five years -- could reverse this trend if the Swiss vote ‘yes’ in a referendum on 30 November.

Hello Ammeo,

 

How is going on? Today you have any update? still i don`t get any update.....:confused:

 

Sorry for the late reply..

 

Imo the global growth slowdown is not going to make the Fed anymore dovish than it already is, especially since U.S growth continues to be strong and sustained, even after Quantitve Easing has finished up and may result in further downtrend in Gold vs USD this week.

    • 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/
