$USOIL & $XLE: Sustainable bull run or short-term bounce?Recently the commodities and the commodity stocks are having a bull run. Oil being one of the largest categories within the Bloomberg Commodity Index Futures is late to the party after the AMEX:GLD rally. In my recent posts I made the case that the TVC:USOIL will remain range bound, and we will see 55 $ in $USOIL. But since then, TVC:USOIL has gone through a small rally with price currently @ 65 $ which has taken it closer to the 0.5 Fib retracement level. AMEX:XLE , which represents the S&P500 energy sector stocks, is also attempting to post a rally.
In the short-term markets have diverged from our last predictions. Let’s be honest in the short term such rallies might be accompanied by short covering and the weakness in TVC:DXY is also helping the Energy rally. But now the question comes where do we go from here?
TVC:USOIL and AMEX:XLE can have a bull rally due to short covering and momentum pushing it across the 0.5 Fib level. If TVC:USOIL breaks above 0.5 then the next stop 0.618 will take us 80 $ indicating a 25% upside form here. And a similar upside in the AMEX:XLE will take us 131 $, which is also 25% up from its current value and the upper range of the upward slopping channel indicative from the chart.
Verdict: Short term probable bounce in TVC:USOIL and $XLE. Long term bearish on TVC:USOIL with target 55 - 60 $.

✅ Trade Thesis Summary
With GLD holding bullish structure on higher timeframes, models show strong agreement on upside continuation. We're targeting the $320 breakout with a controlled-risk weekly option.
Gold Update: 2 optionsIndeed, the top metal surged well beyond $3,000, as I mentioned in my earlier post (see related post for details).
The price reached a new all-time high of $3,510 before pulling back, as expected.
So far, the retracement has been rejected at the trendline support around $3,123 (futures).
From here, there are two possible scenarios:
1) Blue Labels
The price may have already completed wave 4. If so, we could now see a large wave 5 move to the upside.
This wave could reach the blue target box, which represents 61.8% to 100% of the distance from wave 1 to wave 3, added to the bottom of wave 4.
This target zone lies between $3,700 and $4,100.
Keep in mind that gold is a commodity, and commodities often have extended fifth waves — so the higher end of the blue box is still possible.
2) White Labels
Typically, fourth waves retrace down to the valleys of previous lower-degree fourth waves.
In this case, the market could form another leg down to complete a larger, more complex correction, potentially hitting $2,975 before wave 5 begins.
If that happens, the target for wave 5 may be lower, but with a possible extended fifth wave, it could still reach the blue box area.
$QQQ Over $523.5 for a retest of Highs. Lower High Setup?As you can see on the notes in the chart, several 5 counts lead to sell offs in the last Quarter. Will this trend continue or will we run it to a 9 Count again? 3 Days left. Watch these levels as I have a possible selloff to May open Price. This would effectively follow my 10D chart forecast of new lows in the next 30-40 trading days, if not 20 for significant damage either way. I will continue to update as we go.
Gold. Long-term Elliott Wave Structure.I'm showing this beautiful weekly chart since 1971 when president Richard Nixon ended the international convertibility of the US dollar to gold. The path followed by gold since that time, is a text-book Elliott wave structure where long term wave 3 has ended. Wave 4 resides at 900 dollars per ounce.
Gold Eiffel Tower The GOLD GTFO is still in play.
What saved Gold was the stopping for the market crash when Trumnpchenko manipulated the markets. Had the crash continued Gold would have crashed with it. As it is the last safe haven for money to pile into and people just give up and sell everything in sight.
If you were an early buyer of gold and sold above $3,000 then you have a nice 50% gain.
Take your money and RUN! All the way to the bank! Don't be a dick for a tick. If you are then you will ride it all the way back down.
When will it top no one can know. But what pros do is take their money and RUN! So be a pro! ;)

$GLD Market Update – Bearish Engulfing Follow-Up
Yesterday, AMEX:GLD closed with a Bearish Engulfing pattern. However, rather than offering a sell-on-strength opportunity, it opened sharply lower today—a move generally favorable for risk assets.
🔍 Key Technical Levels:
First Horizontal Support: ~$294.40 (Stop)
Additional Support Zones:
🔹 $278.32
🔹 $272.58 (Stop)
Ultimate Support: ~$261.24 (Stop)
This level is unlikely to be tested unless we see a sharp reversal in macro trends like inflation, global trade dynamics, and productivity.
Gold chart showing interesting dataInteresting chart on GOLD futures.
Always wise to WAIT until end of day/week.
Daily Chart
Heavy selling has not meant much BUT the movement today is....... different.
Weekly Chart
RSI is not bad but it is weaker than Oct 24.
$ Flow is down a significant amount compared to last top.
GOLD v DXY in breakout move --- HVF hunt volatility funnelAlways good to measure against the DXY not just the USD value
Not perfect of course as it is mainly the Euro and Yen but still insightful.
Been watching the relationship for a while
currently breaking out to the upside
HVF theory means this should be a violent expansion
Target 1 coming up.
Perfect trade setup: $GLD to 325; DXY to 95Gold has been in a raging bull market since 2023 with the index making new higher highs and higher lows as shown in the weekly candle stick chart. In contrast the Dollar index TVC:DXY is making new lows every single day shown in dark blue line chart. In this blog space we have been continuously talking about the weakness in the Dollar and the major support and resistance levels in TVC:DXY for more than 3 months. As the TVC:DXY is below the psychological level of 100 and most probably heading lower where 95 is the key support level, I think the time for commodities like Gold has arrived. SPY Gold Spot ETF AMEX:GLD has made an ATH of 302 which is above the key psychological level of 300.
In my opinion AMEX:GLD is not done going up. If we plot the Fib retracement levels for the previous bear market ending in 2022, we see that AMEX:GLD can effectively reach 325 level which is the 4.236 fib level. This will indicate another 7% upside, a similar amount of potential downside in the $DXY.
Verdict: Long AMEX:GLD , Short TVC:DXY until trend reversal.
GLD Weekly Options Trade Plan 2025-04-16GLD Weekly Analysis Summary (2025-04-16)
Below is a consolidated view of the various model reports and our resulting trade rationale:
──────────────────────────────
Comprehensive Summary of Each Model’s Key Points
• Grok/xAI Report – Notes that GLD closed around $306.52 with recent upward momentum and bullish daily indicators. – Technicals (moving averages, Bollinger Bands, and MACD on daily charts) support a moderately bullish bias despite some near-term caution from 5‑minute signals. – Recommends buying the $311 call (premium ~ $0.99) with a plan to exit if the price breaks key support or slides 20% in premium.
• Claude/Anthropic Report – Highlights strong daily uptrend fundamentals with GLD well above its key moving averages, although the daily RSI is high (76.59) which raises a caution flag. – Points to robust call open interest at nearby strikes ($310) and suggests a bullish trade via the call option—even though a slightly lower strike ($310) is mentioned, the overall picture is bullish. – The recommended entry is at market open with a target around a 50% premium gain and a stop if the premium retracts significantly.
• Gemini/Google Report – Emphasizes strong longer‐term bullish momentum but expresses caution given immediate overbought conditions (daily RSI above 70 and price trading above the upper Bollinger Band). – Also notes the strangely low max pain ($275) in contrast to the current price, warning of potential early pullbacks. – Concludes that the overall picture is too conflicted to recommend a trade at the open at this time.
• Llama/Meta Report – Combines technical indicators (EMA, RSI, Bollinger Bands) with strong news sentiment to determine GLD is in a bullish phase. – Identifies the $311 call (premium ~$0.99) as attractive given its liquidity and distance from the current price (about 1.46% above). – Recommends market-open entry with targets set at roughly 150% of the premium and stop-loss based on a percentage of the premium.
• DeepSeek Report – Provides a balanced trade plan noting the very strong 30‑day price performance and bullish daily MACD while cautioning on the overbought RSI reading. – Recommends the $311 call (midpoint premium ~$0.99) with a profit target of roughly a 50% gain and a stop tied to technical support breaks (around $304.90). – Maintains a moderate confidence level (around 65%) because of the chance that short‑term pullbacks may materialize.
────────────────────────────── 2. Areas of Agreement and Disagreement
• Agreement: – Most models agree on an underlying moderately bullish trend for GLD based on daily technical indicators and positive news (e.g., fund inflows and safe‑haven demand). – A majority favor a call option trade on the weekly expiry, with many models arriving at the vicinity of the $311 strike (with premiums around $0.99) as an optimal entry.
• Disagreement: – The Gemini/Google report raises concerns about overbought conditions on the daily chart and highlights a very low max pain level that suggests downside pressure, recommending against an immediate open trade. – Claude mentions a slightly lower strike ($310) but still a call trade; however, the bulk of reports lean toward the $311 call as a balanced choice, accepting the premium being a bit above the ideal $0.30–$0.60 range.
────────────────────────────── 3. Conclusion and Trade Recommendation
Overall Market Direction Consensus: Most models point to an overall moderately bullish outlook on GLD. While the daily trend is robust, some short‑term technicals (e.g., the overbought RSI and near-term MACD signs) advise caution. Nevertheless, the prevailing momentum and strong news sentiment favor a bullish call—even if a temporary pullback remains possible.
Recommended Trade: Trade Idea: Buy a single‑leg, naked CALL option on GLD. • Strike: $311.00 (this strike shows sufficient liquidity with about 1,055 open interest and a traded premium of roughly $0.99) • Expiration: Weekly options expiring 2025‑04‑17 • Premium: ~ $0.99 (slightly above the ideal range, but justified by good risk/reward and high liquidity) • Entry Timing: At the open • Profit Target: Approximately a 50% increase (target premium ~ $1.50) • Stop Loss: Approximately 20% drop in the premium (≈ $0.79) • Confidence Level: Moderately confident (≈70%) given the bullish trend tempered by the risk of an intraday pullback • Key Risks/Considerations: – The daily RSI is in overbought territory, so be alert for any pullback. – The inherent conflict with the very low max pain point ($275) suggests potential short-term volatility. – Monitor support levels (e.g., $304.90 on the 5‑minute chart) for early signs of reversal.

GLD: in resistance zone to form mid-term top Price reached and important resistance levels to start forming the top of upward trend since 2022 bottom.
In precious metals fifth waves tend to extend beyond standard fib levels. So if price moves beyond 300, the door opens for a move to 308-330 resistance zone.
Wishing you successful trading and investing decision and thank you for attention!

$GLD - bullish momentum soon to stallHello, I was bullish on AMEX:GLD for a bit and now examining the charts, multiple frames, this may be setting up for a good short. If geopolitics and tariff talks deescalate then this should cool off. The Elliot wave placed indicates some time for a correction/pull back on this hot commodity and the candle on the Daily from Friday is a spinning stop doji which can indicate reversal in an uptrend. Also, we have so many gaps up that happened in 3 day span, crazy actually. I labeled areas of targets to fill these gaps. Expecting a retracement to $280.

Gold Measured Move Target (Spot)Gold has finally climbed to over $3,000/oz for the first time in history however the yellow metal may not be done quite yet. Based on this repeated measured move of roughly $550 on each bull advance, we should expect the price of spot to get close to the $3,100 handle sometime soon. Seasonally, gold likes to rally into early/mid April before a cool off period so it is likely coming in the next 2-4 weeks.
Could One Event Propel Gold to $6,000?Gold has long been a refuge in times of crisis, but could it be on the brink of an unprecedented surge? Analysts now predict the precious metal could reach $6,000 per ounce, driven by a potent mix of geopolitical instability, macroeconomic shifts, and strategic accumulation by central banks. The prospect of a Chinese invasion of Taiwan, a major global flashpoint, could be the catalyst that reshapes the financial landscape, sending investors scrambling for safe-haven assets.
The looming threat of conflict in Taiwan presents an unparalleled risk to global supply chains, particularly in semiconductor production. A disruption in this critical sector could spark widespread economic turmoil, fueling inflationary pressures and eroding confidence in fiat currencies. As nations brace for potential upheaval, central banks and investors are increasingly turning to gold, reinforcing its role as a geopolitical hedge. Meanwhile, de-dollarization efforts by BRICS nations further elevate gold’s strategic importance, intensifying its upward trajectory.
Beyond geopolitical risks, macroeconomic forces add momentum to gold’s ascent. The U.S. Federal Reserve’s anticipated rate cuts, persistent inflation, and record national debt levels all contribute to a weakening dollar. This, in turn, makes gold more attractive to global buyers, accelerating demand. At the same time, the psychological factor—fear-driven safe-haven buying and speculative enthusiasm—creates a self-reinforcing cycle, pushing prices ever higher.
Despite counterforces such as potential Fed policy shifts or a temporary easing of geopolitical tensions, the weight of uncertainty appears overwhelming. The convergence of economic instability, shifting power dynamics, and investor sentiment suggest that gold’s march toward $6,000 is less a speculative fantasy and more an inevitable financial reality. As the world teeters on the edge of historic change, gold may well be the ultimate safeguard in an era of global upheaval.
