$XAUUSD: Monitoring positioning...Could gold be close to a long lasting bottom similar to the last time Commercial Hedgers covered their shorts and went net long? The last two times this happened we had a massive rally in precious metals each time. I do see some interesting variables at play that could prove a bottom in gold is happening.
We have some potential fundamental variables that could contribute to that:
The UK set a precedent for countries embarking on a more market friendly path, at the cost of rising deficits, to potentially attempt to save their local economies from the destruction rising rates and withdrawing liquidity (and hiking taxes) creates. If more countries start cutting taxes, and reversing their hawkish stances over time, we could see a reaction in the gold market.
China is at an interesting juncture, with rumors of a change in leadership, a big CCP congress coming and people clearly sick of zero COVID measures, if there is a change in those variables it could also set some big trades in motion.
Fed policy is already priced in by markets, bonds might be close to bottom or at a bottom, pricing in future rate cuts.
CPI print coming, slowing of inflation would further reinforce the idea that maybe doing what the UK is starting to do makes sense.
Many economists and fund managers agree that the Fed is making a mistake destroying the economy (and the world indirectly) attempting to curb inflation when the cause of inflation was govt action and lock downs and not monetary policy itself.
A recession is clearly in motion, and won't be resolved too quickly, but the effect on gold and other commodities might be quick once these puzzle pieces align.
From a technical, historical and positioning standpoint:
Futures positioning is approaching a critical juncture, if Commercial hedgers cover all shorts, we will get a big signal to go long Gold. Each time it happened we had massive and lasting rallies in precious metals.
At this pace, we can expect them to be flat or net long within 3-4 weeks.
There is a Time@Mode weekly signal that expires in exactly 3 weeks!
Yearly Time@Mode trend is up for another 3-4 years, and currently near a low risk buy zone with a stop @ 1517.18. If prices stay sideways after rallying above 1750, and maybe tagging the invasion level repeatedly, we could form a new yearly mode, which could propel gold higher for a few more years, once breaking out from the range, as per my chart. This fits with yearly time expiration in the long term $SPX chart and the idea that we are likely to see sideways/bearish action in markets to catch up to prior historical periods.
Oil is likely repeating a similar move as the period in the year 2000-2003 as well, this chart idea from @timwest suggests we can get a correction in oil, to then get a big rally until it peaks near $500. This also fits with the idea that we could get a similar move in equities as in 2000-2009. A big decline in oil eventually sets the stage for support in equities with a time lag of 6/12 months as well. At some point, more governments are likely to reverse course on their destructive hawkish ways following the UK, this could be probable after elections if Trump wins the presidency in the US. Just something to consider, this is net bullish for gold and oil likely, as it would increase deficits and stimulate the economy to come back from a recession, globally. The culprit, is lock downs and fiscal policy more so than monetary policy errors, people will gradually realize this.
All in all, I think the message is clear: odds of commodities outperforming equities are big, if we repeat a period like 2000 to 2011, or something like the 70s, and at some point we will get a clean shot at a bottom in oil and gold, which will likely be monster trades to put on. Stay away from equities, perhaps focus on miners, and other names that fared well in the aforementioned periods (some healthcare names did well, energy, gold and silver miners, copper/lithium). The EV adoption is a big fundamental trend as well, I think this sets the stage to get a big rally in lithium, for which I am positioned already in $LTHM. Have to time it well in regards to metals and oil, but we are getting closer to getting clarity on this home run trend and I think gold is a big and important cue to get a sense of timing here.
Best of luck!

CVS - Short After breaking a strong bullish rally, the bears have managed to pull the price of the said stock below 0.786 fib retracement level.
Considering another strong bearish candlestick on an hourly chart, the prices are likely to fall below to the 0.618 level. A strong indication for short-selling.
CVS Health Corp continues to seize. CVSWe are not in the business of getting every prediction right, no one ever does and that is not the aim of the game. The Fibonacci targets are highlighted in purple with invalidation in red. Confirmation level, where relevant, is a pink dotted, finite line. Fibonacci goals, it is prudent to suggest, are nothing more than mere fractally evident and therefore statistically likely levels that the market will go to. Having said that, the market will always do what it wants and always has a mind of its own. Therefore, none of this is financial advice, so do your own research and rely only on your own analysis. Trading is a true one man sport. Good luck out there and stay safe.
CVS - SHORT SWING TRADE IDEACVS is shaping up to be a nice short trade for a couple of reasons:
First, CVS broke trendline support, the $100 area, and four major moving averages (9SMA(purple), 21SMA(blue), 50SMA(yellow), 200SMA(orange)
Second is the because it is forming a clean breakdown pattern with an achievable & worth while reward to risk
Last is because CVS is a down trending stock after failing to make new highs in August and not even holding minor price support at 98
A trailing stop strategy and a firm target near 91 is recommended as there are areas of minor support along the way
CVS Descending Channel on Weekly Chart
The "Decending Channel" pattern was identified on the weekly chart.
A "Double Bottom" pattern was identified on the daily timeframe, however, price failed to go higher. A closer look at recent price action and we have confirmation of resistance becoming support (see level 93.62). Though this is true, it is best to wait for a break of structure before placing a trade to the upside.
On a final note, the 21 MA crossed up the 9MA on Friday, July 8, 2022. Also, the RSI and volume indicator made higher lows and higher highs on the same timeframe.
Personally, I will enter a swing position lightly at the break of the trendline. I will also consider a secondary play action to include a break above 95 or 96.

$CVS low risk, possible high rewardThis is worth the watch for me either way. CVS is at an interesting place. On the monthly, it did the 3-1-2 rev strat, then it reversed back up and triggered the 50% outside month. Then it rejected again. Ftfc is a bit mixed. Inside day and 3-2 4hr so it could go either way. For perspective on a ftfc thought process, a 2d on the week would push ftfc fully red on the month and quarter. The 2u on the 4hr could push it back towards the outside month trigger again. It has failed twice here so we could triple top, or continue to push out. I like the 4/29 100p or 107c for either direction. Nice risk/reward.

Take two on CVS Health Corp. CVSI got carried out by a misplaced invalidation last time. Republishing this idea updated, as the resonant pattern still stands for a high chance of a drop. Fib targets have been adjusted for time passed. NFA
Immediate targets 99, 95. Invalidation at 111

CVS Health corporation might have a heart attack. CVSDivergent, resonant, overbought pattern in our periscope. Highly, highly confident of a drop on this one.
