Hey team, hope this aids as we trade gold together!

I thought I would briefly provide my interpretation of various indicators I use for trading. If you see things differently please advise, I welcome contrarian logic - sway me!

Macro
  • JP (Fed) continues QT - One would assume this would result in strengthening in the USD / DXY
  • It flies in the face of Austrian Economics but QE has not resulted in higher inflation - in fact the Fed has an inflation problem
  • If QE did not result in inflation perhaps QT will not result in a stronger greenback
  • Two additional rate hikes later this year would certainly result in a stronger dollar
  • Slowing growth globally (USA PMI/Brexit/China PMI/Australia slowdown) will result in other central banks seeking to purchase gold

TA
  • Moving Averages on Weekly - Clearly Bullish
  • MACD - Neutral / Stoch - Buy
  • RSI - Bullish
  • Volume - just came off heavy selling, the volume is not strong into the Friday rally
  • 1 Month TF on Kagi makes you wonder if it will finally break out of this level of resistance (2002 till now)

Final thoughts:
This sell off of Gold was very fast and way overdone - we can see here that it recently fell 2 Standard Deviations away from the 20 day mean!

The fact that fall happened so fast has me concerned that this buyback based off weak volume could reverse.

I am not trading Gold right now till we see it cross $1300. If it crosses $1304 I will immediately accumulate a large position, if the sell off continues I will continues to observe additional information prior to trading. There is a chance as well that we are in an Elliot Wave about to go through Corrective 4. I would chart scrape it, but putting in additional research on EW first!

Hey Final FYI: Long term (1yr) I am very bullish on Gold and still think we will see past $1400 this time next year.
Trade active:
Long at $1304
Trade closed: target reached:
1313.93 not bad. Time for some profit taking. Will look for reentry after additional TA this weekend.
