Gold

Gold, according to the incomplete structure is still in "buy the pullbacks" territory short term. The market clearly broke out higher from a triangle and my minimum target is still $1481. I do see any price below $1400 as opportunities to get into longs and I will stay with this bullish view unless $1346 fails. I will only change to a bearish bias below $1265

Classic EWT analysis @kobusk and concur with a lot of it.  Looks very similar to something I saw elsewhere...

However I have a few additional perspectives for you as follows (note I like to mix EWT with other techniques as I find no single technique is sufficient to capture all the nuances of a market):

  • I do not see why the move down to Dec 2015 is a wave A rather than simply a counter trend rally (A-B-C). which you have too but have called it a large A.  This move ended at the Fib 50%, classic counter trend retrace end point.
  • While the wedge you have was broken the overhanging long term resistance was not (1440).  This must be firmly and conclusively broken (close above and with conviction) for the breakout to be on for me.
  • That A-E wedge classically should have the E hit the lower line or it could be negated (i.e. spurious)
  • I have an alternative EWT labeling for the move since the Dec turn that is the beginning of a longer motive rally that will carry beyond the previous ATHs.  This also does not rely on the wedge formation.
  • The COT for non commercials is too high in my opinion for a rally breakout (commercials, smart money, are net Short heavily).  I trade with the Commercials side on things like Gold (that said I am not shorting, better opportunities elsewhere at present).
  • I would not be Bearish Gold unless it breaks below the LT supporting trend line (circa 1250 minimum) but in that eventuality there would be other more lucrative markets to consider so I will never short Gold.
  • The fundamentals don't really support the larger A-B-C, unless you believe the Central Bank bull will continue for many years to come or this time it is different?  Even then it is a stretch at this point to paint such a picture, albeit still technically possible.  At present I see Gold as breakout to the upside for sure but am not sure it has happened yet.
  • The Russia/China central bank buying spree on Gold theory may be a valid reason for the current rally but for a sustained rally we need a recession, or more likely a deflationary recession, to prompt the safe haven trade.  Not sure we are there quite yet.

I see 3 scenarios:

  1. Gold breaks out from here but I favour a motive wave rather than a B scenario
  2. Gold retraces to the wedge you have for a retest and then either rallies away for that breakout or,
  3. The market carries on into the wedge, negating it, and completes a wave 2 retrace to close a gap (circa 1260) and then rallies.

    • I don't know but it looks like a really awesome service Because I have come across all sorts of mixers in my work  
    • Charting the Markets: 2 June Indices rally as US agrees debt ceiling bill. EUR/USD, GBP/USD rally while EUR/GBP stabilises as US debt ceiling bill is passed. And WTI recoups recent losses while gold, silver on track for first weekly advance. Axel Rudolph FSTA | Senior Financial Analyst, London | Publication date: Friday 02 June 2023               This is here for you to catch up but if you have any ideas on markets or events you want us to relay to the TV team we’re more than happy to.
    • It was a blockbuster number yesterday for the ADP private payrolls, showing 278,000 jobs opened in May, while forecasts had been for 170,000.  Jeremy Naylor | Analyst, London | Publication date: Friday 02 June 2023 IGTV’s Jeremy Naylor suggests a similar upside surprise could see almost 300,000 jobs created under the non-farm payroll count with estimates for 190,000 job creations. The unemployment rate is seen rising one notch to 3.5%. (Video Transcript) NPFs: what to expect Could yesterday's strong private payrolls number from the ADP reading give us an insight into the potential upside risk to today's non-farm payrolls? That report from ADP yesterday showed 278,000 jobs opened in May - forecasts had been for 170,000. Now the NFP expectations, 190,000 job creations are forecast for the month of May proportionately using that ADP surprise. That would mean an upside reading for NFPs close to 300,000. Why the increase? Now, the unemployment rate is seen rising one notch to 3.5%. Why is that rising? When you've got that rise in the number of job creations, the unemployment rate is not taking the same data that the jobs numbers themselves are being produced from average hourly earnings. We're looking there for that to go up 0.3% month-on-month, 4.4% year-on-year, still below the rate of inflation. Now, this chart shows the unemployment rate back to pre-Covid-19 levels. It's clear that jobs have been created at an appreciable rate and this alongside a relatively strong GDP number and inflation coming down, there may yet be a soft landing for the US economy. But if the Federal Reserve (Fed) does continue to raise rates, things may get a little bit more sticky for the economy and a little bit more difficult to predict. This is a comparison of fed funds rates and US consumer price inflation (CPI) since January 2021. So you can see here the rate at which the US central bank has been piling the pressure on the monetary markets with that rise to five and a quarter percent. And at the same time, the CPI number is coming down, which is a good thing, but it's still not down to the 2% level, 4.9% is a long way away still from the 2% target. So the Fed is entitled still to have an excuse to raise interest rates. US dollar basket Let's take a look at what's been happening with the US dollar basket. Yesterday, we saw a pullback coming through as we saw money going into risk assets because of that rubber stamping from the Senate or the vote in the Senate to approve the budget that's now gone for the presidential seal. EUR/USD And we've seen a second day in a row of losses or the euro for the dollar basket as far as the euro/dollar is concerned, bouncing away from that 76.4% retracement. And I think now, you will have been stopped out if you were short on this, you would have been stopped out on this and hopefully you would have got some profits on the way down. So that's where things are ahead of non-farm payrolls out today at 13:30 UK time. And we will be live on the IG platform at 13:25 today.
