// Change in Fundamental Idea //

Technicals:
1. We had a pump with the market believing that rate hikes are over
2. I don't think we are going to get to 11700/OZ by the end of 2023 as expected, especially if there are no hikes on 20 Sept
3. 1 week MACD will need to be watched at again for a potential entry next month (Sept)

Analysis:
1. I would like to see a good bottoming of 1wk MACD and decide on an entry in late Sept or early Oct (instead of Dec 2023 as previously predicted)
Note
GOLD: $1921.53

Technicals:
1. Still looking good on the 1wk MACD as it approaches below 0

Analysis:
1. No change in strategy
2. Continue to monitor the surf for the entry in late Sept / early Oct
Note
GOLD: $1913.04

Just a frivolous bored comment as I restlessly and impatiently wait for the bottom for GOLD. This wait is just frustrating like this. Another 2 months at least.

Chart:
t.ly/BU5Fz
Note
GOLD: $1892.85

Technicals:
1. And so we have it. Breaking below $1900 - finally!
2. Breaking also below the last low of $1893

Fundamentals:
1. Honestly, nothing. The fed minutes said what it should say but the market took it negatively.

Analysis:
1. Awaiting $1800.


Chart:
t.ly/Gnh8p
Note
GOLD: 11939.30/OZ

Technicals:
1. The trajectory is actually not as bearish as 3 August 2020 and 14 March 2022
2. In fact, gold price is trying to stay up, and not making although still making lower lows

Fundamentals:
1. Even if Fed halts, it will take a recession or crash to bring rates down
2. But it will certainly lighten bear pressure on gold

Analysis:
1. I am very keen to trade (buy), but the plan is still Dec 2023 + break of 1 week MACD

Chart:

Action:
1. And for me, still waiting for the 1 week MACD to show the buy signal.
Note
GOLD: 11875.11/OZ

Commentary:
1. Sometimes, nothing happens. Sometimes everything happens.
2. We broke the recent low and back on track towards the bottom
3. Its still much higher than the 1800/oz I was expecting at this time

Action:
1. Twiddling fingers, we need to wait a bit, still planning the Dec 2023 entry and waiting a more yummy price.
2. Will be back.
Note
GOLD: 11830.19/OZ

Commentary:
1. Its been a long while since I made my first comment back on 24 May
