Gold - War Breaking Out?Many would like to perceive the pause in interest rates by the US Federal Reserve as a bullish take for markets at large. However the forward direction by Powell signals towards the bigger picture; inflation cannot be stopped by the Fed. March 2022, shortly after the invasion of the Donbas region by Russia the Fed began significant hikes in the Discount rate. See comparaison to SPX. This has put pressure on domestic and international markets. As foreign central banks try to follow along with hikes to avoid capital outflows, they have not been able to keep up. The international value of the US Dollar has risen considerably since January 2021, the trend accelerating as flight to quality has driven capital towards the US in the face of war. See below US02-year and US10-year treasuries plotted on the same axis, compared to the US Dollar Index. During this time, the price of gold COMEX:GC1! has made a few rallies towards the 2011 high, relating to geopolitical and sovereign risk. This price level in gold could prove very significant moving forwards. The market has indicated towards a long-term trend. It should be noted, that entities involved in potential geopolitical conflicts will move assets accordingly in advance. It is inevitable that war will continue to escalate, and so long as it does inflation will persist across the globe. In spite of capital flows towards the United States, global scarcity driven by shortages, insurance rate increases, impaired logistics and corrupt governments will continue to erode the domestic value of the dollar. The inflation we have been experiencing is war inflation, and no central bank has the power to stop the reactionary shock in financial markets that occurs when capital must seek cover. There appears to be political turmoil in Russia, but the question unanswered is why? It must be understood, that there is a strong belief in Russia that Putin has been too restrained by only invading the Donbas region. What is being stoked by NATO, is an ethnic conflict. Subtle difference in language and religion separate two relatively new nations, Russia and Ukraine. Kyiv the home of the Russian Orthodox church, established in what was the capital of a greater empire, collapsing in the late 1800s. That is to say, the contested regions in this war are hotbeds for an ethnic conflict. Paramilitary groups in Russia and Ukraine (of which there are many) have quite a well known and gruesome history between them, despite receiving little attention since 2022. With neither government viewed at large as capable, there is a massive tailwind risk with the US' approach to funding. It seems well established by now there is nobody accountable for how the weapons and munitions being shipped to Ukraine are being handled, and Nazism is rampant in the army. In addition to repeated attempts on Putin's life, the US is now discussing giving Zelensky of Ukraine access to nuclear weapons. With a "coup" having now taken place, it must be clear that there is a quickly growing threat of war escalating quickly. No attempts at negotiation have been made by Ukraine, despite massive loss of life on both sides. Therein lies our why. Consider the paramilitary groups are now willing to march against Moscow, what prevents them from marching on Kyiv? The negotiation between them has been settled, a new leader appointed and separation from the Russia government is complete. The dogs of hell let loose. Gold, Silver COMEX:SI1! and mentioned in a previous post, Natural Gas NYMEX:NG1! , are all forming lows after making new major highs. Inflation will persist and push the nominal price of gold up, but capital flows will nullify that effect to NY COMEX gold prices, as AMEX:GLD follows. This market is pushing towards a significant breakout, and this will move the price as global markets respond by moving capital. Gold becomes a target for flight to quality at this time. Friday was an ideal major low, the market may continue to make minor lows but a sustained rally to 2000 and beyond should be considered a bullish sign.

GLD Bullish Outlook 06/26-30/2023AMEX:GLD is hot on my watch list as uncertainty in the world markets should cause investors to park their money in gold. AMEX:GLD is down -4% for the quarter and is due for a rebound. Technical Analysis: AMEX:GLD has been consolidating in a falling wedge and is approaching the .618 retrace at 177.24. I lean bullish on AMEX:GLD as long as we don’t break the falling wedge structure and can hold above the gap at 176.18. I am expecting a gap fill to the upside at 181.37. Bears will want to see this falling wedge invalidate with a gap to fill to the downside at 173.80. Upside Targets: 178.75 → 179.84 → 181.08 → 181.97 → 183.21 Downside Targets: 177.78 → 176.82 → 176.20 → 174.83 → 174.46

🔥 Why A Bitcoin ETF Is Hyper Bullish: See Gold!There's been a lot of bullish news recently surrounding a potential Bitcoin ETF. This ETF has been filed by both Blackrock and Fidelty. The potential approval of a Bitcoin spot exchange-traded fund (ETF) has the crypto community buzzing with excitement. A Bitcoin spot ETF could be a game-changer, fueling bullish momentum across the entire crypto market. A Bitcoin spot ETF would simplify the investment process, making Bitcoin more accessible to a broader range of investors. It would eliminate barriers like complex wallets and security concerns, attracting retail and institutional players and driving increased adoption. In order to determine the potential effects on the markets, we can take a look at a more recent approval of a commodity ETF: Gold. As seen on the chart, Gold saw a massive ~310% gain over the span of 6.5 years once the ETF had been approved. It's hard to determine whether BTC will experience a similar growth path, but I think it's quite safe to assume that it's 100% bullish if more people can easily invest in this asset.

GLD - waiting on move higher, no guarantee it comesGLD sits below like what I like to call the pivot band. Draw the flattest MA possible (nearest to zero slope). For upside trigger, the initial trigger would be the flattest MA of lows. I like to use the MA of lows, then the MA of medians then the MA of highs. If price breaks above the MA of lows and doesn't progress but regresses then the MA of medians would then become the trigger. So I have these MAs on the chart and they are sufficiently proximate to consider a break in the next week or so if they oblige. I'll post similar for other markets I follow. If anyone has a market they are watching, TSLA, NVDA, etc. let me know I'll do similar work up.

Gold Order Flow - Sell On Bounces After 'Circle' TriggerHey traders, This is another post that centers around the use of the OFA script to decipher the path of least resistance. Remember, as OFA traders, we simply let the market show its intent. We don't anticipate, we adapt to the dynamic flows. Right now, the GLD market is sending a strong signal that bulls are in for some pain in days/weeks to come. Why? Due to the price pattern identified by the script (these are called via 'diamonds' and 'circles'). The current formation of decreasing buy-side pressure followed by increasing sell-side is top-notch. This type of realized order flow hints at a much lower target, with an ultimate objective of 168.00. An entry around the 50% retracement is ideal to get you off to a great start. The risk-reward prospect is terrific (at least 3:1) Remember, when using the OFA script, it comes with highly accurate signals that, at its core, apply 2 main areas of study: Magnitude: A major clue that will help determine the health of a trend is the type of progress by the dominant side in control of the trend. We need to ask the following question: Are the new legs in the active buy-sell side campaign as identified by the script increasing or decreasing in magnitude? Velocity: When it comes to the distance the price moves, the magnitude is only ½ the equation. The other ½ has to do with the velocity of the move or the speed. Was the new leg created after a fast and impulsive move? Or did price make a new low or high with the movement being sluggish, compressive and taking too long to form? A good rule of thumb is to count the number of candles it took to achieve a new leg. DISCLAIMER: This post contains commentary published solely for educational and informational purposes.

Gold Order Flow - One Script To Rule Them AllHello traders, Once again, the OFA script demonstrates its prowess... Through the synthesis of fractals-based order flow data, we can deduce potential future trends in a market that has experienced unprecedented volatility in recent times. Following the decisive breakout of 162.00 last Nov 2022 which left behind a double bottom, Gold was propelled towards 191.00 through a series of HH and HL patterns via the OFA script. With the latest two cycles printed consisting of greater amplitude and velocity by the bulls, which was met by tepid sell-side pressure as the OFA indicates, The path of least resistance continues to be higher. We will never claim to have foresight or certainty about upcoming developments. Instead, we will be attentive spectators of price fluctuations, allowing the OFA script to shoulder the burden of executing the next trade. Bear in mind the two essential aspects of the OFA indicator: Amplitude: A crucial hint in evaluating a trend's vitality is the extent of progress made by the dominant party controlling the trend. We must ask: Are the new stages in the active buy-sell side campaign, as recognized by the script, increasing or diminishing in amplitude? Momentum: When considering the range of price movements, amplitude accounts for only half of the equation. The remaining half involves the momentum or pace of the move. We must ask: Was the new stage established following a rapid, impulsive shift? Alternatively, did the price achieve a new low or high with the movement being lethargic, constrictive, and time-consuming to develop? A useful guideline is to count the number of candles it took to reach a new stage. VISIT MY PROFILE FOR MORE INFORMATION ON THE OFA SCRIPT.

GLD Gold ETF Pullback for EntryGLD has been trending up and the chart shows that volume is increased in April / May as compared with March and is about relatively 2X. GLD is now priced at its all time high. On the trendline drawn, GLD is rising at a rate of approximately 5% monthly. Gold prices are reacting to economic uncertainties and the dollar value having its challenges. Today, price is down 1-2 % dropping towards the bottom of the Bollinger Bands providing a good long trade entry. Stop loss is one dollar below the bottom band while targets are at + 5% + 15% and +30% as a long duration swing trade expecting rising gold prices for at least six months.

Trade Idea: GLD August 18th 210/June 9th 185 Long Put DiagonalWith GLD at or near all time highs, looking to buy the back month -90 delta put and sell the front expiry +30 delta to synthetically emulate a covered put with -60 delta or so. Will look to take profit at 110% of my cost basis (i.e., a 21.57 credit, resulting in a 1.96/$196 profit). Metrics: Max Loss: 19.61 debit Break Even: 190.39 relative to 189.64 spot (pre-market) Max Profit: The width of the spread (25.00) minus the debit paid (19.61) or 5.39 ($539) Will adjust price at open if necessary to get a fill.
