Gold – technical view

The price of dollar denominated gold remains in a longer-term downtrend at present, with a renewed short-term decline suggesting 1680 and 1665 to the next downside targets from the move. There is however the suggestion that the commodity price is now moving into oversold territory.

This implies that traders who are already short might start to lock in profits towards these downside support targets in anticipation of a rebound or consolidation to follow.

Gold – client sentiment

In terms of client sentiment, 85% of IG clients with open position on gold (as of the 15th September 2022) expect the price to rise in the near term, while 15% expect the price to fall.

Silver – Technical view

The price of dollar-denominated silver has recently undergone a rebound from oversold territory. The rebound has taken the price into the middle of what is perceived to be a medium-term range for the commodity’s price. The rally could be nearing an end with the bearish candle stick reversal and overbought signal suggestions.

Ironically, client sentiment data for silver also shows that 85% of IG clients with open position on the commodity (as of the 15th September 2022) expect the price to rise in the near term, while 15% expect the price to fall.

Gold vs Silver

In addition to the oversold suggestion on gold and the overbought suggestion on silver, the relationship between the two securities appears to have deviated from its mean over the near term.

The above chart shows a gold chart (top window) with a relative strength comparison (RSC) indication (blue line) against silver. The RSC trading below the lower Bollinger band shows that the price of gold has seen a sharp underperformance (more than two standard deviations) against its precious metal peer silver.

We maintain our view that over the short term we could see a normalization of the relationship between these two securities with gold now starting to outperform silver.

An outperformance could occur in one of three ways:

  1. The price of gold rising while the price of silver falls
  2. The price of gold rising faster than the price of silver rising
  3. The price of gold falling slower than the price of silver falling

Should this trade consideration play out, the expectation is for a net gain between the long gold position against the short silver position to yield around 5.8%.

    • Just recently, I wrote an article about how a Solana blockchain art project (Artrade) is helping artists raise their earnings and even further transforming their physical works into RWA essentially NFTs. With that in mind, I came across Rarible, a marketplace that focuses on digital art and NFTs and the similarities of the platforms caught my attention. Rarible allows artists to sell their creations as NFTs, essentially digital certificates of ownership and cuts out middlemen, connecting artists directly with buyers. Beyond trading, Rarible offers a somewhat user-friendly interface for creating NFTs, even for beginners.   The platform unlike Artrade is built on the Ethereum blockchain and uses its own token, RARI, for governance and rewarding active users. In the long term they seem building with the goal of becoming a DAO in the future While it’s still early days, I have no doubt Rarible offers a unique approach to buying, selling, and creating digital art, and the recent listing on Bitget will further expose it to new communities and potential investors.     Do you think RARI's approach will be sustainable as a marketplace for NFTs?
    • Soybeans Elliott Wave Analysis  Function - Trend  Mode - Impulse  Structure - Impulse for (5)  Position - Wave 1 of (5) Direction - Wave 2 of (5) Details - Wave 1 of (5) completing with a diagonal. Wave 2 bounce is emerging before the price turns downside for 3 of (5). Invalidation now at 1226’6. Not much has changed since the last update.   Soybean Price Analysis: Elliott Wave Perspective Signals Continued Downward Trend   In the realm of commodity trading, Soybean has recently undergone a significant downturn, marking a nearly 7% drop since March 21st. This decline appears to be part of a broader trend that commenced back in June 2022. However, before this recent descent, there was a brief period of respite characterized by a corrective bounce starting in late February.    Delving deeper into the price action, an Elliott Wave analysis sheds light on the intricacies of Soybean's movement. The daily chart's decline since June 2022 reveals a corrective pattern, delineated into waves A-B-C, as denoted by blue annotations.   The initial wave, labeled as Blue Wave 'A', terminated at 1249 in October 2023, exhibiting a distinct diagonal pattern. Subsequently, a modest rebound ensued, marked by Blue Wave 'B', which concluded at 1398 in November 2023. However, the ascendancy was short-lived as the bears regained control, manifesting in the ongoing development of Blue Wave 'C'. This wave, evolving into an impulse wave, has currently progressed to wave (5) following the completion of wave (4) in March 2024.   Zooming in on the H4 chart, a granular analysis reveals the sub-waves of wave (5). Wave 1 of (5) concluded with a diagonal structure, followed by a corrective phase as the price undergoes a temporary upside correction to complete wave 2. Despite uncertainties regarding whether wave 2 has fully concluded or will undergo another upward leg, the overarching trajectory remains clear – a downward break is anticipated to continue wave 3 of (5), leading to further downside movement.   In light of this analysis, the prevailing sentiment favors sellers, who continue to assert dominance over the commodity market. As long as the price remains below 1226’6, the outlook remains skewed towards further downside potential, with the possibility of reaching the lowest price point since November 2020.   In conclusion, the Elliott Wave perspective offers valuable insights into Soybean's price dynamics, signaling a continued bearish trajectory in the near term. While short-term fluctuations may occur, the broader trend suggests that sellers are likely to maintain control, shaping the commodity's price action in the foreseeable future.   Technical Analyst : Sanmi Adeagbo   Source : Tradinglounge.com get trial here!
