Downside Ahead for Gold - COT Strategy SellDISCLAIMER: This is not trade advice. This is for educational purposes only to demonstrate how I am looking to participate in this market. There is significant risk involved in trading, do your own homework and due diligence.
COT Strategy
SHORT
Gold (GC)
My COT strategy has me on alert for short trades in GC if we get a confirmed bearish change of trend on the Daily timeframe.
COT Commercial Index: Sell Signal
Extreme Positioning: Most short Commercials have been since January 2021. Large specs longest they have been since March 2020.
OI Analysis: Price upward consolidation since April has seen Commercials heavily selling = bearish. Large Specs at longest positioning since March 2020 = bearish.
Valuation: Overvalued VS Treasuries
True Seasonal: Strong seasonal tendency for gold to go down in September
Spread: Bearish spread divergence
COT Small Spec Index: Sell Signal
Supplementary Indicators: Acc/Dist, %R & Stochastic Sell Signals.
Remember, this is not a "Short Now" idea. These indicators are not timing tools. They simply tell us that this market could have a move of some significance to the downside, which we will participate in with a confirmed Daily trend change to the downside.
Good luck & good trading.
GC GOLD Buy BOXBeen a while since posting my thoughts here, I have been working on something that is GOLD. Supply and Demand can often be overlooked. Trading can often be over complicated. Back up and study the basics. Supply and demand characteristics of the market are the most rudimentary but often the best way to creaete a system that brings forth consistent gains. How many traders are actually profitable. Find a system that works for you it could start with a simple supply and demand type strategy.
Here we have price reacted perfectly off of the supply zone, (Yes I took that short position from the top and have the screen shot to prove it just ask if you want to see it). Now will we enter a demand zone and reverse. My plan is to simply wait, I took my profits and now I just wait until my alerts are hit and my criteria is met to go the other direction.
What will you do? Leave it in the comments I am happy to be back posting and look forward to more!
High Probable SHORT from 4Hr (78.5% Fib. Level) for the HOUSE..?COMEX:GC1!
"When you want to succeed as bad as you want to breathe, then you'll be successful. It's not about craving success like you crave food or water, it's about needing it like air. That urgency, that necessity—that's when you break through." -Eric Thomas
We coming out on TOP nothing less than that! Here I have developed a High Probable SHORT for the HOUSE to CAPITALIZE here on GOLD and below I'm going to break down what I want to see develop before we enter the market. Let's get to it!!
1) On the Daily TF I am starting to notice just ever so slightly exhaustion from BUYERS to the upside....
2) 4Hr TF we have a rising eR/LQ Trendline that buyers have been respecting very heavily. Also we have a smaller Descending eR/LQ Trendline that sellers have been respecting as well. We are currently trading inside of the last 4Hr Last High ($2570.5) and 4Hr Last Low ($2506.5). I drew out the Fib. from these price levels and price is currently trading around mitigated pricing of 70.5% ($2,551.5)
3) Now what I'll be looking for to enter the market SHORT is bulls continue to push price higher into the HTF 4Hr Supply Zone Candle stick... The Killzone level is 78.5% ($2,556.5) which is also near the 50% EQ level of the overall 4Hr Supply Zone and also near the descending eR/LQ Trendline that sellers have created to the Downside....
4) If and when Bulls can continue to push higher into premium pricing 78.5% Fib. Level I then will drop down to the LTF 5-15m and wait for a confirmed 15m Bear CHoCh. Once we can get this confirmation I will then look to enter SHORT and target the 4Hr Swing EQ Level ($2538.5)...
5) I'll keep close update as PA develops and we have more data to work with.
Remember when it comes to FRM (Financial Risk Management) our job is to manage the downside costs of printing High side returns of $$$ consistently. Let's Keep Steppn!!
Stay Focused & Reach Excellence!!

Gold shows signs of exhaustion at its record highGold may have reached a record high on Tuesday, but it then handed back more than half of the day's gains to leave a long upper wick. The ATH met resistance at the weekly R2 pivot and the daily RSI (2) has formed a bearish divergence in the overbought zone.
A momentum shift can be seen at the ATH on the 1-hour chart. A bearish divergence has also formed on this timeframe. The bias is to fade into retracements within yesterday's range to target the 2540/45 range, near the 50-bar EMA and HVN (high-volume node).
[Daily Bias] Gold - Thu 08292024 - Sideway & Big move NYPrice opened within the previous value area, suggesting sideways movement within this range during the Asian and London sessions. With news expected at 19:30, anticipate a significant move, likely continuing upwards after a major sweep of the bottom.

Gold - The triangle broke above but bears sold it hard for a retest of the minor bull trend line at 2530. We are now in a nested wedge and the bigger but broader bull channel. Market is mostly moving sideways though. Expecting for the wedge to break tomorrow and it could go either way.
gold
comment: Globex session sold off for 24 points before EU opened. Market went mostly sideways afterwards but stayed below the 1h ema. I consider the triangle broken since we made a higher high again but it does not matter. Now its an ascending triangle and you trade them the same. Advice? Wait for the breakout and do not lose money in trading ranges unless you are super profitable trading them.
current market cycle: trading range
key levels: 2500 - 2570
bull case: Bulls bought the bull trend line and kept it above 2530, which is still max bullishness. No more reading into this trading range at the highs. BTFD is going strong, don’t look for shorts.
Invalidation is below 2500.
bear case: Bears trying but failing. Best they can hope for is the market to continue to go sideways until it’s more neutral.
Invalidation is above 2570.
short term: Neutral between 2530-2570, bullish above and bearish below.
medium-long term: For now I think the most reasonable outlook I could give is a trading range 2200-2500. This could hold for some time. Bear in my still thinks this rally is dumb and we will see 2000 again this year but that’s as unreasonable of an outlook one could hold so DON’T. —unchanged for many months. Will do on update next weekend.
current swing trade : None
trade of the day: Buying the double bottom bar 9 + 13 but only for a scalp. If you weren’t short during Globex, best not to trade afterwards.

#202435 - priceactiontds - weekly updateGood Evening and I hope you are well.
tl;dr
gold: Bulls bought the first pullback and I expect bears to try again. Market went sideways which shows strength by the bulls to keep it above 2500. Next week will be important because so far the highest monthly close was 2472 and a monthly close above 2500 would confirm the breakout again. Bears need consecutive bear bars below 2500 and bulls a daily close above 2550. Neutral going into next week.
Quote from last week:
comment: Bulls got a new ath but the highest monthly close so far was 2473 and there is no reason to expect a huge breakout above 2550 with follow through. If it happens, hopp along but odds favor the bears for another reversal like so many times in the last 4 months. No matter how you interpret the patterns on the chart, all favor a reversal and betting on a breakout after 4 months of trading range price action is a losing strategy in the long run. I am neutral and wait for bears to show strength but will join the bulls on a strong breakout above 2550.
comment : Did we learn anything from a sideways week? We have a bullish pattern and a technical textbook pullback a bit above the ema. Bulls bought it and that is bullish. But only a break above 2570 is confirmation. Resistance is always that until it breaks, no matter how strong you think the trend is/looks/feels and this trend inside a 5 month trading range is not strong so far. Bulls are trying the breakout and the monthly close will be the most important for them. If they manage their first close above 2500, it would be a confirmation and buy signal going into September. What could be a potential target above? Since the trading range was mostly between 2300 - 2500ish, we can do a measured move up and that would bring us to the ballpark around 2700.
current market cycle: trading range for many months now and it’s probably coming to an end over the next weeks/months —unchanged
key levels: 2400 - 2550
bull case: Bulls raised their odds of this breakout being real last week. Next week is their do or die moment for this. It’s either break above 2550 and get a daily close above or fail again and trade back down to the lower bull wedge or even 2300. I do think 2540-2570 is a dead zone for trading long. If we get near 2520-2530 I consider buying but not above. Odds currently favor the bulls slightly.
Invalidation is below 2500.
bear case: Nothing changed for the bears. Either stop the bulls below 2570 or give up for 2600 and potentially 2700 over the next weeks. Bears need a 1h close below 2500 badly. That’s it. If you are short Gold right now, don’t come to me hoping for bear porn. I’m long past that phase in Gold. Do I still think this is overvalued and can crash below 2000 again? Bet. Will this save your underwater shorts? Hell naw. Get out now or latest at 2571.
Invalidation is above 2571.
outlook last week:
short term: Neutral until bears come around or strong break above 2550. If bears build good selling pressure, I want a retest of 2500 first and lower i look for 2470.
→ Last Sunday we traded 2537 and now we are at 2546. Bulls got above 2550 but big rejections only. Neutral outlook was perfect since we closed 9 points above last week.
short term: Exactly the same as last week. Bears had a pullback and bulls bought it. Inherently bullish but only if bulls can break above 2570.
Neutral until bears come around or strong break above 2570. If bears build good selling pressure, I want a retest of 2500 first and lower i look for 2470.
medium-long term: For now I think the most reasonable outlook I could give is a trading range 2200-2500. This could hold for some time. Bear in my still thinks this rally is moronic and we will see 2000 again this year but that’s as unreasonable of an outlook one could hold so don’t. —unchanged since May
current swing trade: None.
chart update: Added bull wedge trend line and measured move target #1.

Soybean oil gold8. 23.24 it's very early in the morning so I'm going to make this as short as I can so I can go back to bed which is why I'm writing this very large sentence because you need to write enough stuff or this won't upload. the soybean oil is still a long trade even though it corrected 50% it looks like it's going to go higher and in the video I show you on the daily chart where it really has to go before you see an acceleration higher.... but it's a decent trade and just keep your stop below the bottom and give the market some time to move higher at the very worst if he gets stopped out it's a small loss.... but generally with patterns like this you don't want to drag your stop higher because they'll just take you out of noise and then you lose the opportunity. gold could have been a very profitable trade..... actually a number of Trades using a 4-hour chart and following how the market moves. I think the necessary psychology to look at patterns like this and to make relatively short but profitable trades is that you can't be committed to just one side of the market or the other. The market trades from buyers to sellers and sellers to buyers. It's easy to get trapped in your trades because you think you want to be a buyer and then your brain basically reduces the . when you sellers to adversaries because you just don't want to run into sellers if you're long.
