The 3 Reasons To BUY GoldNow lets look at the gold price...
The sentiment on Gold is very bearish
but despite that
There is a lot of accumulation
happening in the futures markets

banks print more US Dollars to inflate
there economies
This inflation will give power to the dollar but

of the poor and middle class will be affected.
Gold is very good for preserving your buying
power in an economy that is heavily dependent
on currencies,

Micro Gold Futures - Long 4H, Previous Price Action MirroringTrade Setup: Continuation to a range fill
Entry Setup: Previous low breakout OR flip depends on how steep the bottom wick is of next 1H is.
Entry Price: not filled yet
SL: 2728 (bellow previous 4H low)
TP: 2746 (next major support level, there is an option to take profit on daily flip 2748.9)
SL TO B/E: Moving SL to breakeven when price will tap 2744 as it is a minor support.
I think that there is a high chance that price will tap 2746 level before making any other move:
1.We are mirroring the move from 22 October.
2.Daily candle does not have top wick.
3.Even if price continue down bellow 2729 level, i think we need to tap 2746 as a liquidity grab before heading further down.
Did not entered yet, Waiting for next 1H to provide a entry setup.

GOLD smart correctionCOMEX:GC1! FUTURES UPD
Gold also went lower as planned. There was a local correction and we continue to decline.
Who is in the deal - stop can be moved over the last pullback or placed at breakeven.
Part 2: gold10.24.24 when markets make new highs... especially all time new highs.... they can be very difficult to trade. obviously when markets make new highs they're also more expensive and expanding markets such as gold represent large amounts of dollars... and if you don't know what you're doing you can lose money or give back money in ways that can really end up being very stressful for you as a Trader. generally as far as I'm concerned I don't want to be a Buy and Hold when markets are at their all-time highs because most of the time they correct. even if I got in at a much lower price... generally speaking I find it's not a good move to buy and hold every time the market makes a new high.... because I'm thinking I'm going to give money back. markets generally range when they make new highs..... think of these as climactic markets that look phenomenal but they're a setup for significant Corrections. obviously this is not always true but from a practical point of view it's true most of the time from my point of view. if you trade multiple contracts it can be helpful to scale in and out of the market and this can yield a very nice return and maybe less stressful if you're willing to trade reversal patterns and Corrections knowing that the big money generally isn't all in or all out.... they probably scale in and out trading larger amounts of money than you and I would trade. a few years ago on trading view I spent some time discussing my version of scaling in and out of the market. A long time ago when I didn't know how to trade I studied some of that from books that you could buy at Barnes and Nobles and I have to tell you it never works for me because I wasn't ready for it and I didn't really understand or follow the strategies of the people who wrote the books. a few years ago when I was interested in working with only 2 students 1 of whom was a very close friend of mine for many years and the other was her sister.... and for different reasons I started talking about scaling techniques for one sister because she was Trading much more volume and was very aggressive so I thought she could reduce her risk because she was Trading 4 or 5 contracts at times...it and I thought that was too risky.... even though she did very well in her Trading... she was amazing..... and I would find out from her sister what she was doing. but my friend didn't have that kind of money to risk.... so I tried to show her how she might trade using scaling techniques using two contracts so that she could stay in the market longer in a way that it could make you very nice gains with much less risk most of the time.... I found out that if you are absolutely risk adverse you can't trade.
MGC1! Short Setup - Micro Gold Futures Short (Short Term Trade)Trade Setup: Continuation to a range fill
Entry Setup: Previous low breakout OR flip depends on how steep the top wick is.
Entry Price: not filled yet
SL: 2757.2 (previous 4H high)
TP: 2729.2 (next major support level)
SL TO B/E: Moving SL to breakeven when price will tap 2734 as it is a minor support.
Look like price is going to mirror the move from 21 October.
Just got 4H Closure bearish after rejected from 2752-2757 level.
Last time price was rejected there he tapped 2729.2.
We finished high impact news for today.
I`m waiting for next 1H open to create top wick tap 2745-2746 then ill take the flip or the previous 1H lows breakout as a sell stop.
Did not submitted trade yet, waiting for next 1H open to provide the entry setup.
GOLD DECEMBER FUTURES WEEKLY GOLD WEEKLY ALERT
After sharp corrective pullback yesterday, gold bounced back to trade around 2750.00.
Price is currently in wave 3 targeting 2785 to 2795 area initially.
After wave 3 is completed we may see a sharp corrective pullback that is WAVE 4 targeting 2676 to 2700 area.
Wave 5 will then target the final rally towards 2805.00 to 2835 area.
Part one....... gold as the example of new highs10.23.24 it is very difficult to trade markets that make new all-time highs. I can only guess from my own experiences that this will be a similar experience for other Traders..... the price action is bullish and yet you're expecting a breakout to retest to a lower value because you're waiting for buyers to close their long position to avoid a drawdown.... especially if the market has given you a good return and now you're worried about the market reversing and you would be worried that it will give back all or most of your entry if you took the position that the market made a new high and you should therefore go along.... markets and knowledgeable smart money is aware of the problems associated with markets that make new all-time highs.
I will try to make my point of view in 2 or 3 videos.

Gold bullish runWith bulls really flexing muscles here on Gold, I have plotted Fibonacci Projection levels and a channel to get an idea of where the price might go and where it might find a bit of resistance.

How to Position if you Missed the Gold RallyGold prices have reached another all-time high, supported by strong bullish momentum. However, the composition of buyers has shifted. While central banks fuelled the previous phase of the rally, institutional investors and retail buyers are now leading. Over the past six months, ETF inflows have totalled nearly $5 billion, and asset managers continue to build net long positions, nearing the peak levels seen during the pandemic.
Despite the bullish outlook, higher prices are tempering demand and reducing the potential for future returns. As an alternative, investors can opt for a tactical position using CME Micro Gold futures and the Van Eck Gold Miners ETF (GDX).
RATE CUTS ARE A GOLD DRIVER
Over the past four easing cycles, gold prices have appreciated by 10% following the start of Fed rate cuts. This time around, prices are up 5% since the first rate cut in September. That leaves room for further gains as the Fed cuts further.
Still, it is crucial to consider that gold prices are already trading at an all-time-high. Higher prices are pressuring further gains and consumer demand.
According to Prithviraj Kothari, president of the India Bullion and Jewellers Association (IBJA), gold demand during this year’s festival season in India is likely to be 20% lower YoY in terms of quantity of gold purchased.
CENTRAL BANK BUYING NO LONGER THE DRIVING FACTOR
Since April, the People's Bank of China (PBoC) has halted gold purchases, while Poland and India acquired 24.3 tons and 17.7 tons of gold, respectively, between June and August, exceeding their purchases from March to May. However, the pace of buying from these central banks may be slowing. The latest data from the Reserve Bank of India (RBI) shows a decline in gold reserves by $98 million to $65.6 billion, indicating a slowdown in gold accumulation despite still substantial holdings.
One of the largest buyers of gold this year, Turkey, also slowed its pace of purchases as it acquired just 7.9 tons of gold between June and August compared to 27.6 tons between March and May.
Source: World Gold Council
Additionally, the urgency for central banks to buy gold has lessened. Earlier, rising yields and a strong U.S. dollar prompted increased gold buying. As U.S. interest rates decrease, a weakening dollar is expected.
ASSET MANAGERS NET LONG POSITIONING IS NEAR ALL-TIME-HIGH
Asset Manager net long positioning has increased consistently over the last six months. It is near the highest level since the pandemic and 2016. Crucially, the increase in long positioning has been driven by both increasing longs and declining shorts indicating bullish consensus among asset managers.
SUBSTANTIAL ETF INFLOWS OVER THE PAST 6 MONTHS
Gold ETFs listed in the US have accumulated USD 4.9 billion in inflows over the past 6 months. Inflows have grown by more than USD 1.7 billion since the Fed cut rates in September. While substantial outflows were observed on 8/Aug as global markets fell sharply, the decline was reversed in just 2 weeks.
Gold ETF inflows tend to follow cyclical patterns, and their current levels are relatively modest compared to previous inflow cycles, which have been significantly larger.
Substantial flows to gold ETFs and rallies in gold prices also tend to trigger flows into gold miner ETFs. Though these flows tend to lag flows into gold ETFs by several months.
GOLD MINERS HAVE STARTED TO CATCH UP
The outlook for gold remains mixed. While bullish momentum is supported by the anticipation of a Federal Reserve easing cycle, gold is already near all-time highs, which is discouraging further investment, particularly from retail investors.
A strategic way to capitalize on the later stages of a gold rally is through gold mining stocks. Gold miners typically lag behind gold during rallies, as returns from equities take longer to materialize and involve greater risk compared to direct gold investments. However, the impact of higher gold prices on miners' profitability is clear. In Q2 2024, Barrick, the world's largest gold miner, saw net income rise by 24% quarter-over-quarter, driven by a 13% increase in realized gold prices. Similarly, Newmont's net income increased by 32%, alongside a 12.3% rise in gold prices.
Gold miners are also benefiting from easing cost pressures. While costs remain high compared to last year due to inflation and energy-related increases, they improved in Q2, and further reductions are expected based on company guidance.
The gold to gold miner ratio is a cyclical quantity that has been trending higher for decades but also tends to mean-revert when the ratio edges to far in either direction.
As the ratio is due to cross the 200-week moving average, it may be due for an extended period of decline favouring gold miners.
HYPOTHETICAL TRADE SETUP
Gold remains bullish through the Fed easing cycle and strong investment demand provide momentum. However, higher prices are dampening consumer demand and central bank buying is slowing. Further increase in gold is likely, however, further gains may be limited. Gold prices have already realized half of their average increase following a rate cut.
Alternatively, a position that is long on gold miners also benefits from rising gold prices.
Gold prices, as tracked through gold futures, are highly correlated with gold miners, measured by ETFs like GDX and SGDM, with a correlation coefficient typically near 0.9, though there are occasional period breaks. Since December 2023, gold prices have outperformed SGDM by nearly 20% and GDX by 5%.
As the current gold rally progresses, increased flows into gold miner ETFs are expected to support their prices. Additionally, improving cost structures for miners and higher realized gold prices create positive momentum.
Investors can hedge a long position in GDX by taking a short position in CME Micro Gold futures. This hedge protects the ETF position against potential declines in gold prices. The smaller contract size of CME Micro Gold futures makes them ideal for precise hedging, particularly given the smaller unit size of ETFs like SGDM.
637 units of GDX (at a price of 43.15 as of 18/Oct) are balanced by a hedge of 1 CME Micro Gold futures contract expiring in December. CME Micro Gold Futures require margin of just USD 1,100 while the GDX leg requires notional of USD 27,470.
The position offers multiple income-generating advantages. The GDX ETF provides a net dividend yield of 0.65% (after accounting for the management fee), and the short position in CME Micro Gold futures benefits from contango, which adds approximately 1% per quarter.

#202442 - priceactiontds - weekly update - goldGood Evening and I hope you are well.
tl;dr
gold: 4 consecutive good bull bars last week and we are on our way to 2800. I have two trend lines pointing to at least 2760, so the last thing I want to be here is bearish. Clearly W5 of this rally and we will likely see bigger profit taking into year end or early next year.
Quote from last week:
comment: Longer pullback than expected and stopped out on a long but got back in since 2620 held and bulls rallied hard on Friday. I do think it’s bullish only and we will likely make a new ath and also a decent chance to break above again for 2750+.
comment: Bullish it was and still is. 2800 is the next big target to hit. After 4 very strong consecutive bull bars, you can not hold a bearish thought while the market makes daily new ath. Two upper bull trend lines are still to hit, one of them leads to 2760 and the other to 2800. On the monthly chart we are in a 8 month micro channel upwards without any selling pressure. At some point market will pull back more and we will see a correction but until we see much greater selling pressure, we can not trade on hope.
current market cycle: very strong bull trend
key levels: 2650 - 2800
bull case: All arguments are on the bull side and they have a big round number ahead. Any pullback will likely be bought, unless some event would change that.
Invalidation is below 2650.
bear case: Bears got nothing right now. If they somehow break below the most recent trend line below 2650, that would be a start but they would have to keep the market below 2700 then and make it go more sideways longer before it can reverse more. They know it’s the third leg up (W5) and 2800 is the obvious target. Most will likely not do much until we hit it.
Invalidation is above 2820.
outlook last week:
short term: Bullish for 2700+
→ Last Sunday we traded 2676 and now we are at 2730. Perfect outlook, hope you made some.
short term: Bullish for 2800.
medium-long term - Update from 2024-09-22: Very strong breakout above, again. Market currently has no ceiling. Most likely 2700 next and I do think 3000 could be a potential target if we continue. There is certainly an argument for a measured move based on the bull rally from 2018-08 to 2020-08.
current swing trade: None
chart update: Added latest bull gap
