Gold closed the day at 1208.1, down 7.5 points. As I called out in last night's post, there were 4 levels of support today that could have stopped Gold's decline. However, as a continued sign that the bear move is well underway, none of those levels held. To remind you, those levels were: Gold Support Levels Lower Bollinger Band - 1214.70 21 Week Moving...
Natural Gas rose slightly today, gaining just .012 points. The Heikin-Ashi turned from green to red and there are now 2 decreasingly smaller Heikin Ashi doji candles. Price has now touched the 6 day moving average 2 days in a row. I am still flat but looking to enter a short position if price does close below the 6 day moving average. Disclaimer: This post is...
Gold closed down 9.8 points today and poked through the bottom of the Ichimoku cloud. There is a lot of support at this level though so we need to see if price will hold here or will the bear move continue. Of note is that Wednesday opens with the 6th consecutive day of red Heikin-Ashi candles. Support Levels Lower Bollinger Band - 1214.70 50 Day Moving Average...
Gold continues descending through the cloud. Let's see what happens at the bottom. There could be a mid morning bnounce back up.
Natural Gas gapped up Sunday night to open the week. After touching the 21 day moving average, natgas closed lower, just outside the cloud. I closed my position near the high of the day, taking profits. I am now flat, watching to see what happens during the week.
Gold sold off today, shedding 8.5 points to close at 1225.5. As Gold moves through the cloud, note that at the bottom is a confluence of the 50 Day moving average, the Weekly 21 period moving average (gold dots) and the lower Bollinger Band. January 27 was the last time that Gold met the 50 day moving average and that bounce led to the year's high. Let's see what...
On Friday, Natural Gas continued it's bullish move higher. If you are long (like I am) you can use the 6 or 8 day moving averages as your trailing stops.
On Friday, Gold closed below the 6, 8 and 21 day moving averages to descend into the Ichimolu cloud for the first time since the end of January. The support at 1222 held up but the buying was not strong enough to force price back above the 21 day moving average. The close below the 8 day moving average the day before generated a Sell signal in my strategy and I...
Natural Gas rose today, definitively moving above the 6 and 8 day moving averages. I am long and expecting price to move up towards that 21 day moving average. Coincidentally, notice how the 21 day MA is right now at the edge of the Ichimoku cloud.
Gold sold off sharply today, dropping 15.5 points and closing under all 3 moving averages on the chart, the 6 day, the 8 day and the 21 day moving averages. Gold now seems determined to head south. The first target should now be the lower red bollinger band. Chart update: now that the bull run is over, I've removed the intermediate and short term waves from the...
Gold sold off in the overnight session to tag the 21 day moving average. The precious metal then reversed as the New York markets opened up and rallied to close between the 6 and 8 day moving averages. On the whole, gold rose a modest 1.5 points today. Today's doji shows that once again gold seems to be in a holding pattern and moving sideways. Although since this...
The bull run of Gold paused today as gold sold off, hit the 6 day moving average and then closed at the middle of the range. Today's doji is the second in a row. Unfortunately for the bulls, as the Asian session opens up, the precious metal is now trading below those moving averages. However, you can expect extra volatility tonight as the US president addresses a...
As the London markets close, Gold regains much of the previous day's losses. The Heikin-Ashi chart shows another strong green candle. I expect there to be increased volatility tonight as Trump addresses the US Congress @ 9:10 PM EST.
Natural Gas gapped down at the opening of trading on Sunday and continued it's selloff. While this bearish move is overextended, there's no indication yet of any kind of retracement. The doji candle last Friday is now signaling more downside movement.
Gold traded higher in the first part of the day on Monday and then sold off in the afternoon to close at 1258.8. The day ended with a doji candle that had penetrated the upper BollingerBand but then sold off and closed between the 2 upper BBs. Remember the red BB is set to 2 Standard Deviations and the cyan BB is set to 1.5 Standard Deviations. Gold is also...
On Friday, Gold continued the rally started on Thursday and closed @ 1258, up 7.4 points on the day. This confirms that move up to the target zone of 1277, which would be the 1:1 target of the Major and Minor A waves (see chart). I have also marked a few higher targets if strong buying comes into the market. The 1.272 fib extension is very common and that has...
