Gold is expected to drop to around 1870
Yesterday, gold continued to rise during trading hours. It fell from the 1905 level to around 1887, and a further drop of $10 would have completed the gap filling at the 1867 level. However, stimulated by the news of the collapse of Credit Suisse Bank, gold rebounded due to increased risk aversion. The subsequent release of PPI data was also positive for gold, with the underlying message being not to raise interest rates excessively.
At the same time, as I mentioned earlier, the bankruptcy of Silicon Valley Bank and First Republic Bank was more due to the Fed's interest rate hike that plundered global wealth. Now looking back, not only the economic wealth of the world but also the assets and various obscure funds of the rich and powerful were not spared. This is reflected in Swiss banks, which we all know have dealings with many wealthy businessmen, politicians, and cryptocurrencies, oil dollars, hedge funds, and so on. If Credit Suisse Bank collapses, it will cause a global financial storm, and at this time, the US dollar will rise. And in Europe and NATO, their stock indices and foreign exchange markets were collectively shorted, and these published data played a very crucial role.
Remember the bankruptcy of Lehman Brothers in 2008 when gold rose more than $100 for two consecutive days? It then fluctuated for a week, and after risk aversion receded, gold returned to its price before the news broke.
Now gold has risen from around 1805 to 1937, an increase of $130. From this perspective, it is not very safe to chase gold at 1937.
We cannot be sure how high gold will rise before market sentiment stabilizes, but at this stage, it is not suitable to take big risks and chase after it. The higher it goes, the greater the probability of falling to around 1867, and the further away it is from 1867, the greater the profit potential of shorting.
After gold rose to around 1937 yesterday, Switzerland began to rescue the banks, reducing the spread of panic and suppressing the continuous rise in risk aversion. Therefore, gold subsequently fell back to around 1910 and rebounded, currently at around 1920.
If it cannot break through 1940 today, gold is highly likely to form a double top. After all, the resistance above 1940 is still very clear. Of course, if it can rise by around $50 today, reaching around 1970, combined with the initial claims data to be released today, the probability of returning directly to 1867 will be even greater. This is how the market works. It always surprises us with unexpected events.
Therefore, in today's trading, if there is enough margin and a willingness to take risks, one can try to short a small amount around 1930-1940. If it can reach around 1965, then we can go short with a heavy position.
Of course, such a transaction is premised on the absence of news similar to a bank bankruptcy. Currently, the global situation is tense, and after such an event, the Fed's interest rate hike next week will at least reduce or even stop. By then, the market will show retaliatory rise, which will be negative for safe-haven assets like gold. It could suddenly drop after being pumped up, with no technical factors, only a profit-taking and risk aversion easing is enough to make gold drop by $50 in one day. Moreover, the gap filling at around 1867 is still possible. It is important to remain cautious and avoid being too optimistic.
