JNUG
XAUUSD Support LevelsJanet Yellen is set to speak this week Friday, market will be anticipating a rate hike for September. Her words will play a big factor on the direction of gold. Support level (1334), (1330), (1322), (1311), (1300). But I expect a delay in rate hike in Yellen speech. Very bullish on GOLD, look to set new high this year.
Short Before the Greater Bull Direction COT report still showing a large number of shorts that were only added to after Brexit. Hedges? Or smart orders looking for the bottom before overbought markets correct. There's a lot of market profits to be pulled and after US election conventions we could see a big change helping to fuel metal's new bull path.
XAUUSD Ready to ShortMy take on XAUUSD for the near future. Currently at the 50% fib, maybe reach the 61.8% mark or move close to the trend line around $1260. Then short from there down to new lows. hopefully DUST and JDST will sky rocket then when the miners drop. The dollar will need to move to new highs hopefully due to uncertainty about Brexit and the effect on the Euro and the possible Fed rate hike. If the trend line is broken the NUGT and JNUG will sky rocket.
#Gold Testing Support Near Term Bounce ExpectedGold is testing lower levels of support as market participants aim to price in a potential rate hike in June by the Federal Reserve.
While intraday price action is oversold, the daily chart is indicating further selling could continue to below $1,230. If a close below this key level occurs, traders can expect XAUUSD to reach $1,215.
Subscribers of MacroView's "Daily Grind" were alerted of the potential of a $30+ drop as seen here .
Key factors to watch:
The four-hour chart z-score is -2.4 (daily z-score is -2.57). This suggests that prices are stretched and a score +/- 2 makes a great contrarian indicator.
Intraday RSI and Stochastic are both suggesting oversold conditions.
Multiple EMA bearish convergence, currently a 50/200 EMA bearish crossover is probable.
MacroView expects to see demand between $1,215/20. It's important to keep and eye on the short end of the yield curve. With a relatively strong negative correlation with the two and five year yield maturity, if those continue to rise, we could see more pressure on the yellow metal.
