Is Gold and Silver turning back up?

Recommended Posts

Just as with Oil I see a potential rally on precious metals and quite possible the end of a simple retrace and resumption of the longer term rally.  On Gold there are 2 scenarios if a rally is confirmed:

  1. If the 10 July high was the end of the first rally phase then we get an A-B-C from here with the current bottom being the A and a major trend retrace down to 1250ish (TBD)
  2. If 10 July was NOT the end of the first rally wave then another leg up higher is indicated (see Silver chart below)

The current price action suggests a Triangle retrace has been broken and if confirmed then we should see a rally away (FOMC might either fuel this or cause a retest of the break).  I cannot see the Fed raising rates and any hawkish noise is likely to be ignored.  No rate rise is good for Gold (and ironically also for stocks...).  Can't see the Fed raising rates while others are seeking to lower them and devalue vs the USD so a rally in Gold and Silver is supported by Fundamentals, unless the Fed dumps the coolade in the river...

 

The bigger picture on Gold is unclear in the medium term, although I do expect a retrace further down that this before the next large wave of the rally begins.  Looking at Silver to get an alternative perspective I think the wave 1 (Purple) is not yet done and expect it to top out in the 2200 region before a significant retrace.  If this happens on Silver it is likely to happen on Gold too.

 

I must confess this one I anticipated and am, already long Gold and Silver but once confirmed buy the pullbacks would seem to be the way forward and after that let's see where it tops out...

I was waiting for it to retrace to $1300 but got impatient and bought some gold at $1320. It seems very comfortable above $1300 and i am expecting it to do well over the next few months.

In this case the impatience has paid off  but usually it doesn't I find.  As I also admitted I too did not wait for a confirmed break above credible resistance zone.  This is ok if you probe and keep stops close at good support levels.

 

However I am interested in what you mean by do well over the next few months?  My analysis suggests this rally will be relatively short term (especially if you use Silver as a guide) before a stronger retrace back down and then a major long term rally will be on the cards.  That rally would likely last a year or more whereas the current rally is likely to last only weeks so I am intrigued as to your thinking on how this current move lasts several months.  

 

Of course I could be wrong, if you shift everything to the left on my analysis we could have entered a strong rally phase on Gold on 30 May but again this would be a year long rally or longer.  Can you share your thinking for discussion purposes?

I think $1300 was a key resistance level. Its now equally important that level holds. I think its a buy at these levels with a stop somewhere below $1300. Maybe it will run to $1500 or $1550. I started buying it at $1260 and thought i might have got it wrong until brexit saved me. I have been surprised how resilient it has been post brexit and i think it will keep going up now.

    • Gold and coffee prices steady, while oil prices edge lower Gold and coffee have managed to hold on to most of their recent gains, while oil is down slightly after a strong run higher from the March lows. Source: Bloomberg  Chris Beauchamp | Chief Market Analyst, London | Publication date: Friday 31 March 2023  Gold clings on near recent highs The price continues to see plenty of volatility, but remains near recent highs. Consolidation has been the pattern over the past two weeks, with no desire yet to move above $2000, but with buyers remaining in control and preventing any significant downside for the time being. Overall it looks like this will resolve into a fresh move higher towards $2050, and it would need a move back below $1900 to put a more serious dent in the bullish view. Source: ProRealTime WTI returns to $74 Crude prices continue to surge, with WTI now closing in on the 50-day simple moving average (SMA) again. The impressive bounce from the March lows shows no sign of stopping yet, though the downtrend of the past seven months is still intact. Any turn lower from below $80 would still constitute a lower high and leave the overall bearish view intact. This would then suggest a fresh move to $65 is a possibility, as the downtrend reasserts itself. Source: ProRealTime Coffee back to February highs After rallying from the March lows the price looks to be preparing to push above the February highs. Above 2200, the price will then target the August highs around 2280/2300, having traded in a wide range from 2030 to 2200 since the beginning of the year. Source: ProRealTime

    • FTSE 100, DAX 40 and Nasdaq 100 surge higher on positive outlook Outlook on FTSE 100, DAX 40 and Nasdaq 100 as the US regulator intends to tighten up on regulations for mid-sized banks and ramp up stress tests. Source: Bloomberg  Axel Rudolph FSTA | Senior Financial Analyst, London | Publication date: Friday 31 March 2023  FTSE 100 nears 7,708 to 7,724 resistance zone The FTSE 100 rally from last Friday’s 7,331 low has now taken it above its 22 March high on a daily chart closing basis as the UK technically avoided a recession since final fourth quarter Gross Domestic Product (GDP) came in stronger than expected at 0.1%. This and the fact that the index is on track for two consecutive quarterly gains, a pattern not seen in any bear market over the past 50 years, points towards further upside being seen and the advance since October likely being a new bull market and not a bear market rally. The 7,708 to 7,724 mid-January and early February lows represent the next upside target and need to be overcome on a daily chart closing basis for the February-to-March downtrend line at 7,852 to be reached next. Slips should find support around the 7,587 22 March high and along the one-month support line at 7,491. Source: ProRealTime DAX 40 trades within 1% of this year’s high The DAX 40 has seen two strong consecutive daily rises over the past couple of days despite German preliminary CPI coming in slightly above expectations on a year-on-year basis at 7.4% in March and despite German retail sales unexpectedly falling by 1.3% month-on-month in February versus an estimate of a 0.5% rise and following a 0.3% drop in February. The index is thus fast approaching its February and March highs at 15,656 to 15,709, a rise above which would target the November 2021 and January 2022 highs at 16,288 and 16,298. Support can be found around the 15,304 22 March high and along the 55-day simple moving average (SMA) at 15,290. Now that two consecutive daily chart closes above the 15,304 level have occurred, the resumption of the October-to-March medium-term uptrend seems to have been confirmed. Source: ProRealTime Nasdaq 100 is trading at levels last seen in October 2022 The fact that the Nasdaq 100 managed to close above its previous 12,947 March peak on a daily chart closing basis on Thursday as the US government urged the country’s financial regulator to tighten up recently relaxed legislation in regards to mid-sized banks and undertake more rigorous stress testing of these, is a blessing for the bulls. The August 2022 high at 13,206 represents the next upside target, ahead of the 13,722 peak. Support comes in at previous resistance, namely at the February-to-March highs seen between 12,947 and 12,896 as well as along the March uptrend line at 12,748. Source: ProRealTime
