GOLD - Status

It is now possible to see a completed up count in GC (GOLD futures) in the daily time-frame. Yesterday was a pin-bar against the upper daily Bollinger Band. There are no guarantees, of course, but a minute ((b)) wave would be located against the 78.6% retracement level.


Importantly, the up move would have taken more time than the down wave, and it would have also closed the apparent gap left in the middle of wave (iii) on the way down. 

This count is only looking for a minute ((c)) wave down to finish an expanding diagonal larger Minor A wave down within an even larger triangle count.

Obviously, the pattern invalidates over the June high. And, yes, price is still above the 18-day SMA, so the daily bias is still UP, so be careful what you do with this information as any down wave could start out by being very, very, bumpy. In the short term, I would place a wave counting stop above the current high, and reassess as needed at that point if the stop is hit.

Have an excellent rest of the day.

    1. IFF SPY trades below 467.90, then it becomes the largest down wave on the board (this 15-minute chart), and 'may' represent a degree change.

    3. ..there goes 467.90, this is now the largest down wave, and likely represents a degree change on this time-frame.

  2. In GOLD 30-min: might be worth going down to the half-hourly chart or hourly chart and see if anything develops lower. This chart is a bit behind, as usual.

    On the hourly chart, GOLD 1-Hr currently has an 'outside' bar which hasn't closed yet. Something to watch.

  3. ES 5-min, reaches 90% downward retrace. B wave of flat or next impulse, lower.

  4. After reading “ Inflation Anxiety Drives Gold Near Highest Level in Months” in yesterday’s Wall Street Journal I looked at gold. Daily gold isn’t out performing spy, looking at gld/spy ratio. Then we also have a strong dollar. I’d assume gold gains are limited.

  5. I was counting a ZZ lower, now in four of C down. So far not looking to me like start of a C up following a completed B wave, at least not yet...

    1. ..wedge breaking lower. If it's a triple-zz, then the bottom won't hold. If it's a leading diagonal (where the retraces are 'not' 62%), then the low of the pattern would hold.

  12. SPY30 - testing upper end of falling channel, and OR midline. This following OR breakdown earlier.

  13. FWIW - Nasdaq has issued its 14th Hindenburg warning. Returns have been negative 3-6 months out most of the time. I’m not sure this works anymore with a manipulated market. Maybe tapering will be a catalyst. I would not bet on it.

    1. The last confirmed omen did not see a signigicant market decline. I do think the elevation is owing to CB buying prowess. At some point they will fail but till then, the bull run persists.

  14. ES 4-Hr - a lot depends on if price gets over the high or not.

    https://www.tradingview.com/x/VWx3hwUO/

    Barrier triangle (based on whippiness), or diagonal. For the diagonal it would be good to see >62% retraces.

  15. Gold has a strong positive correlation to DXY. I looked back in history (to 2005) and I could not find a positive correlation with a falling 200 ma ratio like in my chart. I'll also note the correlation is strong .85 which I noticed that trend doesn't last long. Any input is appreciated.

      I think your observation is a clue that global factors are at play behind the move in gold, or at least they are more prominent than the 'typical' domestic currency strength/weakness. Plus, the bond vigilantes have little or no portfolio left to sell and central banks have little incentive to hike interest rates which would drive up fiscal costs. Could be the making of a perfect storm.
