A fifth wave is here for GoldOK friends, please note that to get a cohesive view of this Elliot Wave analysis of GLD you would have to see my first post (Gold is going down soon- then up) on Mar. 13 as the scope of the wave count is tool large to represent in 1 chart. In that post I was of the view that GLD needs to dip to complete a 4th wave then head up and I was right, one week after posting we topped out very slightly higher than the time of publishing and we subsequently dipped to within roughly a quarter of my target; 119.54 was the actual low vs. an estimate on my part of 119.31 or lower. Where I was wrong was with regards to timing, as you can see from this chart the 4th wave was very protracted. It is notable that I did update my idea on May. 1 with the following comment: 'Still do not have sufficient evidence to enter a long position, we are at RSI resistance, have retraced 50% of the most recent drop, and may head back down. Based on a Fibonacci timing tool the 9th and 29th of this month will be dates worth watching for potential trend reversal.' It seems that the 29th of May was of significance in hindsight. Though I've been bullish for a few weeks now based in the break above the Feb. 20th high I can say in technical terms that the 5th wave is officially in progress (even w/ out breaking above that high there is such a thing as a truncated 5th wave but that's beyond the scope of this post.) Now the question is where do we top out? There is more than one way to answer this, based on standard Elliot wave theory one should look to the 61.8 - 100% range of the rainbow colored Fibonacci region (based on the combo of waves 3 & 4) which gives us a wide price range. It is also notable that the grey shaded region to the right of the graph shows fib extensions that overlap the rainbow region, at the end of the day the best place to take profits would be in the low 130s. Thanks for reading, questions and criticisms welcome.

THE WEEK AHEAD: GLD, GDXJ, GDX, SLV, USOEARNINGS No options highly liquid underlyings announcing earnings this week. BROAD MARKET EEM (15/18) QQQ (19/19) IWM (19/18) SPY (19/15) EFA (10/12) One word ... . Well, maybe two: "Weak sauce," with ranks in the low quarter of their 52-week ranges and background implied at sub-20 across the board. SECTOR EXCHANGE-TRADED FUNDS Top 5 By Rank: GLD (92/16), GDXJ (71/33), SLV (64/21), GDX (48/28), USO (47/43) TBT (52/24). Pictured here is a GLD Synthetic Reverse Jade Lizard, explained in the post, below. For those of a more nondirectional bent, the Aug 16th 127/140 short strangle is paying 1.72 with a 70% probability of profit, although I'd recheck that setup at New York open for delta balance ... . GDXJ: August 16th 34 short straddle, 3.45 credit with >expected move break evens, delta/theta -11.03/3.02. GDX: August 16th 25 short straddle, 2.12 credit with >expected move break evens, but a little on the weak side in terms of credit collection. Delta/theta: -10.52/1.84. SLV/USO: August has yet to populate ... . In petro, my go-to is generally XOP (34/35), but the August expiry has yet to populate. Given the size of the underlying, I would probably continue to short straddle it here, assuming that it's still paying greater than 10% of the price of the underlying (i.e., >2.70 or so in credit for the short straddle nearest at-the-money).

TRADE IDEA: GLD AUG 16TH 125/126/132/135 SYNTH REV JADE LIZARDMetrics: Max Profit: $124/contract Max Loss/Buying Power Effect: $176/contract Break Evens: $133.24 (No Downside Risk) Delta/Theta: -10.46/.22 Notes: A Jade Lizard is ordinarily a short put plus a short call vertical where the total credits collected exceeds the risk attributable to the short call vertical, making it a no upside risk setup. A Reverse Jade Lizard is the inverse of that -- a short call plus a short put vertical where the total credits collected exceeds the risk attributable to the short put vertical, making it a no downside risk setup. In this particular case, you would be going defined risk, but be collecting more in credit than attributable to the risk associated with the short put vertical which is a one-wide with 1.00 of max risk, so it's a no downside risk setup. As with an iron condor or short strangle, an ideal finish is between your short strikes (126 on the put side, 132 on the call), but you'll also realize profit anywhere below 133.24 and even if the underlying retraces dramatically and blows through your short side. Naturally, strikes may have to be tweaked, depending on what /GC does between now and New York open.

131.5/132 AUG 3rd bear vertical on GLD in response to FOMCGLD, SPYDR Gold Shares ETF backed by the physical commodity, has increased dramatically following the dovish Fed sentiment out of yesterday's June FOMC meeting. Central banks worldwide have begun to indicate that they are willing to begin cutting rates, or to resume Quantitative Easing (QE) and balance sheet expansion. As Chairman Powell shifted away from the "patient" stance and indicated that changes could be imminent, saying that "the case for more accommodative policy has strengthened," markets reacted accordingly. Gold has risen on the premise that rate cuts are coming - with bond markets pricing in a 100% chance of at least one cut in the July FOMC meeting. As gold rises more, it does so on the pretense that there will be more monetary easing; if the sentiment in July isn't as dovish as hoped, then the price of gold, and thus the value of the GLD ETF, will decrease. Using the August 3rd expiry allows us to capture the reaction from the next FOMC meeting. Technically, the bear case is prominent: GLD is clearly overbought for a myriad of reasons. On both the day and month charts, GLD is trading above the upper Bollinger Band, the Parabolic Stop and Reverse just flipped over the candles, both stochastics have readings over 75 and both the RSI and MFI indicate values over 80. Done for a credit of 19 cents, there is a maximum profit of $19 reached below the short strike and max loss of $31 above the long strike, per contract.

FED WON'T cut rates - gold will go back downI'm anticipating the FED not cutting rates - this will cause other central banks to cut, which will force the dollar $DXY up and gold down. Chart looks like a double-top is forming with momentum sliding. Again, the only way gold goes up if we start war with Iran which last week looked like it was going to happen. Doesn't look like most of the globe is accepting the false-flag narrative being espoused by necons. I think the FED will cut in September or December even. At which I see a risk-off happening where people will run into stocks while gold will look lackluster against it.
