Gold Strength Continues Ahead Of Fed MeetingThe Gold market and the metals complex as a whole had a strong run in 2024 , and Gold has seen this strength continue over the last few weeks. Since the highs in October, Gold has seen some consolidation with prices falling due to many factors such as the changing Fed environment and the overall sentiment of the precious metals complex. Some of the metals are still lagging due to the fact that metals like Silver and Copper have a more industrial background to them and have other factors impacting price movements. The average true range of Gold currently sits near 35, which is not a record high for the contract but is offering a wide daily range for traders to position themselves in. The Gold market offers several different sizing options for many different types of traders, ranging from the newly released 1-oz contract to the full sized 100-oz contract. This wide variety of contracts helps give a larger range of traders the ability to trade depending on their own personal risk appetite or trading strategy. With the strong attention from traders on Gold along with the volatility traders have seen, it is critical for traders to understand what size contract will be most effective for their trading strategy.

Characteristics of a Double Top Pattern: Two Peaks: The price creates two nearly equal highs, indicating strong resistance at that level. The peaks are separated by a pullback (called the "valley"). Support Breakout: The pattern is confirmed when the price breaks below the "neckline" (the horizontal line connecting the lowest point of the valley). Volume: Volume is typically higher during the first peak and lower during the second, showing weakening bullish momentum. Bearish Implication: When the neckline is broken, it suggests a potential downtrend, as buyers fail to push the price higher.

The Direction of Gold 25.01.20Hello, this is Greedy All-Day. Today’s analysis focuses on gold. Gold Daily Chart Analysis Chart: Key Observations: Gold recently broke above its long-term descending resistance trendline. The resistance trendline began at the high on October 31, 2024, and was broken on January 16, 2025. After breaking the resistance, gold reached a high near 2761, which failed to break above the top of the orange supply zone. The current resistance stands at 2759.2, below the orange zone's high of 2761.3, leading to a short-term pullback. Support Test and Outlook: The yellow resistance trendline has turned into support after a successful retest. Although the orange box supply zone has not been broken, the overall bullish momentum remains intact. Next Resistance Levels: If 2761.3 is broken, the next resistance lies at 2772.6, the upper wick resistance level within the purple box. Breaking above 2772.6 could open the door for a potential retest of the all-time high near 2801.8. Long-Term Trendline and Supply Zones Chart: Downside Risk: A potential short-term trend reversal requires the green box to be broken. Current key support for a breakdown: 2666 (below this level, gold will likely fall out of the Ichimoku Cloud). A break below the red box supply zone’s lower boundary (2595) could signal a bearish shift in the larger pennant structure. Current Gold Levels and Trading Strategies Chart: Buy Strategy: A breakout above 2761.3 is crucial for initiating a long position. If broken, the next target is the 2772 resistance level, with further potential upside to all-time highs if 2772 is cleared. Sell Strategy: Focus on the range between 2729.2–2720.9 for sell signals. For gold to return to bearish momentum, the current support trendline (yellow) must break and turn back into resistance. If the price breaks below 2729.2–2720.9, the next support level is the red ascending trendline. Summary Bullish Scenario: A breakout above 2761.3 could signal continuation toward 2772.6 and beyond. Bearish Scenario: A break below 2729.2–2720.9 could lead to a deeper correction toward the red ascending trendline or lower levels. Stay strategic and monitor key levels carefully for potential opportunities. 🚀

Long positions feasible as gold tests resistance levels next wee - Key Insights: The recent performance of gold indicates its positioning at critical resistance levels, particularly around $2720. The potential for upward movement remains if it breaks through these levels. Traders should focus on managing risks given the high volatility, and beginners are encouraged to practice with a demo account before engaging in live trading. - Price Targets: Next week targets for long positions are T1: $2750, T2: $2785. Stop levels are S1: $2710, S2: $2680. This setup suggests a cautious approach while betting on gold’s ability to breach key resistance. - Recent Performance: Gold exhibited significant fluctuations this past week, stabilizing around the $2750 mark. Its performance stands out particularly as other financial sectors have excelled, though gold remains intertwined with evolving market conditions reflecting investor sentiment. - Expert Analysis: Analysts continue to express a cautiously optimistic outlook for gold in light of shifting economic indicators. While volatility remains a concern, the sentiment among experts suggests that a breakout above $2720 could signal renewed interest from commodity investors, especially during uncertain economic times. - News Impact: Positive earnings announcements from major banks have created a ripple effect, fostering speculation about a possible shift of capital from equities into commodities. This environment encourages attention towards gold as a safe haven or alternative investment during times of market turbulence, underscoring gold's importance in a well-rounded investment strategy.

Gold to Shine Bright on Fundamentals, Seasonality & Sentiments“Gold is money. Everything else is credit” said John Pierpont Morgan some 100+ years ago. Gold is limited in supply. Much of what can be mined has been dug up. Gold bugs opine that the only way for gold prices is up as fiat money continues to be printed with nothing but institutional promises backing them. As a result, not only is the price of gold inching up, but the value commanded by fiat money continues to contract. GOLD’S RISE HAS REMAINED UNSTOPPABLE DURING THE LAST TWO YEARS Gold, as represented by CME Gold Futures, was up 1.45x delivering a stunning 13.5% gain in 2023 followed by a record-shattering 27% gain in 2024. These stellar returns were delivered with a 20-day rolling realised volatility averaging south of 14% commanding a Sharpe Ratio of more than one. The World Gold Council analysis shows that gold outperformed US stocks, EM equities, bonds, and commodities. LBMA Gold prices surged by 25.5% while printing 40 all-time highs in 2024 with the most recent high of USD 2,777.80/oz on 30th October 2024. This remarkable growth was driven by strong demand from central banks and institutional investors combined with rising geopolitical risks. Source: gold.org After such a stunning rally these last two years, what to expect from gold in 2025? First, recapping the rationale for gold. GOLD REMAINS A HEDGE AGAINST SUSTAINED INFLATION, DEBASEMENT, & TRUST DEFICIT Gold has long been considered a safeguard against economic uncertainties, particularly during periods when confidence in financial institutions and government policies wanes. This perception is rooted in gold's intrinsic value and its independence from any single nation's economic policies, making it a preferred asset during times of trust deficit. Several factors have reinforced gold's role as a hedge against trust deficit, key among them being: • Geopolitical Tensions : Ongoing global conflicts and political instability have heightened investor anxiety, leading many to seek refuge in gold. Its value appreciates when geopolitical risks escalate, reflecting its status as a haven asset. • Fiscal Policies & Debt Levels : Concerns over rising national debts and fiscal deficits, particularly in major economies like the United States, have prompted investors to turn to gold. Analysts suggest that gold benefits from apprehensions about the trajectory of U.S. debt and deficits, serving as a buffer against potential fiscal crises. • Inflation & Currency Depreciation : Fears of inflation and currency devaluation have further increased gold's appeal. As a tangible asset, gold is perceived as a store of value that can preserve wealth against the eroding effects of inflation & currency debasement. Moreover, during periods of financial market volatility, gold has demonstrated its effectiveness as a portfolio diversifier. Its low correlation with other asset classes allows it to mitigate losses during market downturns, providing stability when trust diminishes. In summary, gold's enduring value and independence from centralized financial systems make it a reliable hedge against trust deficit. Investors seeking portfolio protection turn to gold as a haven. GOLD HAS HEADROOM TO RISE EVEN HIGHER IN 2025 State Street Global Advisors ("SSGA") cite three primary reasons for being bullish on Gold in 2025. These include (a) Continued central bank purchases, (b) Rising consumer demand in China & India as domestic gold ETFs proliferate, and (c) US monetary easing and the potential for the new Trump administration’s fiscal policies to expand deficits. Central banks have been accumulating gold at the fastest pace in recent record. Consistent buying in the past three years despite surging prices point to long-term strategic considerations beyond price sensitivity. Gold’s inverse relationship with the US dollar remains misunderstood. The USD is as strong today as it was at the start of the century, while gold has appreciated 813% in the same period. A strong dollar does not necessarily make gold bearish. New Trump Administration to be sworn-in later today (20th Jan 2025) also serves as a tailwind to gold prices. During Trump 2.0, the President's proposed tariff policies are likely to accelerate the de-dollarisation trend and be compounded by rising geopolitical risks. Collectively, this will push central banks and consumers to seek shelter in gold. Source: SSGA.com SSGA has a base case scenario (with a 50% likelihood) of gold trading between USD 2,600 to USD 2,900 an ounce. It also sets out a bull case with a 30% chance of gold price ranging between USD 2,900 to USD 3,100 an ounce. A bear case alternative (20% chance) of gold prices pulling back to trade between USD 2,200 to USD 2,600 per ounce. GOLD ETF FLOWS HAVE BEEN ROBUST IN 2025 The GLD ETF has seen substantial positive inflows into the fund so far this year. Barring four days of net outflows, large inflows on 10/Jan and 17/Jan have contributed to additional AUM of USD 579.22 million into the GLD ETF taking the total AUM to USD 76.74 billion. Post-election results, the GLD ETF witnessed multiple days of fund outflows and those have been more than offset with fresh funds moving into the ETF signalling bullish investor sentiment. SEASONALITY FAVORS A BULLISH STANCE IN GOLD Save for February & June, Gold Futures have generated positive returns during the first half of the year delivering 6.6% upside gains on average over the last ten years. HYPOTHETICAL TRADE SET UP A confluence of fundamentals, seasonality, and sentiment points to near to medium-term bullishness in gold prices.

GOLD (GC1!) ELLIOTT WAVE ANALYSIS - TRIANGLE PATTERN©Master of Elliott Wave: Hua (Shane) Cuong, CEWA-M (Master's Designation). The context suggests that we are inside the 4-grey wave, as the 3-grey wave ended at the high of 2,801.2. The 4H chart shows that we are inside the 4th wave in grey, based on some data on the current price action, it looks like a Sidewaves pattern and is narrowing over time. So it suggests to me the view of an unfolding Triangle. The ((d))-navy wave is probably close to completing its role by creating the resistance level ((b)),((d))-navy, but this view is not strong, so at the moment in gold, there are at least several different wave counts at work at the same time. Let's look at the alternative view of ALT, which also shows that the 4-grey wave is not showing any signs of ending, but instead developing as a Flat, its ((b))-navy wave will move higher.
