GDX vs. BTC still holding uptrendI first published this chart in December last year with the view of owning gold & gold miners over Bitcoin. Whether you took a spread on Gold spot or gold miners(GDX) vs. BTCUSD, either one would have doubled your money this year. It has been a great trade indeed but interesting to note how strong this uptrend has been since the end of last year and there looks like no stopping this gravy train at the moment. In the absence of a technical break, I am still happy to own gold vs. bitcoin for now.
GLD
GLD: Cooling off 💦It is still summer, so no wonder GLD wants to refresh itself in the upper blue zone between $163.03 and $160.17, into which it has leaped so enthusiastically that we have to wipe droplets of water from our faces, watching the chart. Here, GLD should now finish wave (ii) in blue before resuming the overarching upwards movement. However, as part of our secondary scenario, there is a 40% chance that GLD might need more refreshment and thus could jump below the support at $158, diving into the lower blue zone between $159.23 and $152.88. There, it should then do a lap to complete wave alt.(4) in yellow before rising again.
Gold - Signs of awakening or the downtrend correction? Surprisingly, gold has been holding up relatively well despite the recent rate hike by the FED. Currently, it trades near the 1770 USD price tag, up over 5% from its low on 21st July 2022. We continue to be bullish on XAUUSD in the medium and long term. However, in the short term, we do not rule out that gold will continue to be choppy before regaining any significant momentum to the upside or downside.
*The retracement toward the 50-day SMA may coincide with the end of the downtrend correction. Because of that, we are cautious.

Illustration 1.01 shows sloped resistance levels for XAUUSD. If gold manages to break above Resistance 1, it will bolster a bullish case for it in the short term. The same applies to the breakout above Resistance 2.

The Gold Odyssey - a different story emergesPreviously, since Donald Trump started the US-China trade war, Gold has been on a clear trend forming a Cup & Handle pattern in the weekly chart. This was covered in earlier posts with decent accuracy, until recently. It appears that the Gold volatility is significantly heightened, to the extent that the the Handle may have been broken.
The weekly Gold chart shows many recent support failures, especially since April 2022. The past week appears to have failed breaking above the weekly 55EMA, and clocked a long bearish marubozu-like bearish candle that closed below the support range. Although the technical indicators are still looking somewhat less bearish, the weeks to come look bad for Gold really.
The daily chart shows similar patterns of breakdown, with a resistance failure, from a lower high that came from a Bearish Engulfing pattern. This followed through for the week where the 55EMA was again broken down. Technical indicators appear bearish too, especially with the MACD crossing under zero.
Gold is not going to do well for a while, so listen to what the charts are saying... very clear bearish message.
Look for 1700.
GORO - GLD UP HOMIEReclaim of trendline = MEGA HOT
Gold Futures = MEGA HOT
Inflation round two inevitable and Biden's "month on month 0 inflation" LOL.
New outlets painting a picture of "maybe inflation really is transitory" MEGALOL
Let's see how that lasts once we get into winter. Side note: Check out the US oil reserves over the past number of years to now... Yiiiiiikes
Break of green on nice volume has me in. Risk to the bottom of the yellow range and build position over pink. Would be nice to see price not go below either pink or purple for max strength but we will see next week. Next area Ill build into is a range clear of yellow range like blue. Break of that = MEGA HOT and risk below pink.
Mega range its been in and if gold keeps pushing its gonna drag with puppy with it it too
Peter Schiff might have been crying for the last 100 years with his hard-on for gold but next year he finally might be able to trick people into thinking he's not a complete moron
No position yet but you know what I'm waiting for.
Gold & Silver Reaching A Launchpad with Currencies (like 2003)Many traders believe the current setup in Gold/Silver is similar to 2018 or 2015. But the reality is this is more similar to 1999~2003 with a strong US Dollar and weakening global currencies.
As long as Gold/Silver continue to strengthen while the US Dollar stays strong, foreign currencies will weaken and wreak havoc on foreign markets.
Eventually, the risk levels will increase in foreign markets which will send FEAR skyrocketing. That will move capital into Gold/Silver and break the channel/trends that are currently in place.
I believe we are very close (possibly 2 to 4+ months away) from that breaking point.
Watch global Emerging Markets and foreign governments for signs of collapse. These will be the early warning signs that Gold/Silver are "T-minus 10".
Once the US Dollar peaks/turns, we'll be at "T-minus 3".
At that point, everything will be ALL SYSTEMS GO for Gold & Silver.
Pay attention. This is a huge setup for precious metals.
Gold - Choppy moves continueOver the recent months, we reiterated that gold was likely to be dragged down by the declining stock market (mainly due to profit-taking/covering losses elsewhere). We also expressed our expectations about gold declining to the 1700 USD region; this move came recently, and XAUUSD made a new low at 1 690.935 USD.
Despite that, we stuck to our long-term bullish stance, which we continue to hold. Indeed, we think the weakness in gold can be exploited by accumulating gold for the long-term position. In our opinion, the inflation rate in the U.S. is currently peaking (and due to move lower in 2023). In addition to that, we think the FED will eventually reverse its monetary course and loosen economic conditions.
Although, we are very cautious as the FED meeting is approaching; furthermore, if the central bank follows through with another rate hike, then it is likely to be negative for gold in the short term. Additionally, if the stock market reverses its rally, it will likely harm XAUUSD.
Illustration 1.01
The price of gold deviated too far from its short-term and medium-term moving averages. Therefore, we are on the lookout for the price retracement toward its 20-day SMA.
Technical analysis - daily time frame
The RSI is bullish. The Stochastic points to the upside, which is bullish; however, it stays in the lower zone. The MACD strives to reverse. DM+ and DM- are bearish. Overall, the daily time frame starts to show bullish signs. It also hints at the possible peak of short-term bearish conditions.
Illustration 1.02
The chart shows simple support and resistance lines derived from peaks and troughs.
Technical analysis - weekly time frame
RSI, MACD, Stochastic, DM+, and DM- are all bearish. The weekly time frame remains bearish.

#GLD approached massive horizontal support zoneGLD ETF has reached a significant horizontal support level which has been in play for over 2 years now. Will we get another bounce off this level? Also interesting that this support is intersecting at the weekly 200ema. Not a bad risk reward to try play a reversal off this significant support as your risk can be quite limited
$IAU - Short GoldThis is a really simple trade. Here is a weekly candle chart showing nothing but weakness. Gold failed to breakout on any time frame. Now, it is threatening two plus year support.
If the support breaks, and only if it breaks, take the short side of the ledger. Ticker: $IAU iShares Gold Trust.
Gold weekly chart broke down and headed lower.Gold weekly...The huge bull pennant has been
broken now...it seems it will head down to the
red consolidation box and the RSI should reset
and begin to make the next move up. The MACD
is still not bottoming out either. Price targets
and support lines are still intact.
Gold Miners ETF, GDX bullish potentialThe weekly chart closed the week nice candle that had a long bottom tail, albeit a red candle, but bullish indication here.
The daily chart had GDX gap down on Friday's opening, then rally hard to close a bullish engulfing, spanning across a resistance zone. This can form the higher low point later next week.
Indicators are not yet bullish, but candlesticks are suggesting the end of the massive retracement with bullish signs and patterns.
The Gold Odyssey - time to flyA quick note to say that as previously expected, the deep retrace happened, and had bottomed out. The last week closed with a bullish candle with a 5 week high close, that bounced off support from the weekly 55EMA, and broke out of the trendline resistance. Technical indicators have yet to turn around.
The daily chart shows Friday's surprise surge in Gold prices, closing on the recent weeks high. Thing is that the technicals are not yet very supportive of a rally, although there already are optimistic indications.
Gold is going up!
