Gold 1H: Five waves down and the ABC band above priceWhat's on the chart. An impulse down on gold futures, 1 hour, from the Oct 13 high to the Oct 23 low. Wave 2 retraced 0.97 of wave 1, about as deep as the rules allow, without passing its start. Wave 3 is the longest leg, 1.69 times wave 1. Wave 4 retraced 0.22 of wave 3 and stayed well clear of wave 1's low, so there is no overlap. Wave 5 is short, under half of wave 1, and came almost entirely in one hourly bar. Counting from the higher Oct 12 high instead makes wave 2 a 0.85 retracement and

Gold: Bearish, Heading To The Swing LowIn this Weekly Market Forecast, we will analyze Gold for the week of Oct 26-30th. Gold is leaning bearish to start the week as it trades below the key $4,000-per-ounce threshold (around $4,002.70). Market direction this week heavily hinges on a packed calendar featuring interest rate decisions from the Federal Reserve, Bank of Canada, European Central Bank, and Bank of Japan, alongside U.S. Q3 GDP, PCE inflation, and employment data. Enjoy! May profits be upon you. Leave any questions or com

Micro Gold into the October FOMCA short-horizon event trade for the October 27–28 Federal Reserve decision COMEX_MINI:MGC1! FOMC Rate Path The Federal Reserve meets October 27–28. CME FedWatch prices a 90% probability that the target range stays at 3.75–4.00% and only a 10% probability of a 25 bp hike. No easing is priced. Looking through year-end, the same tool shows roughly a 69% probability that the range will be 4.00–4.25% after the December meeting, with a small residual chance of two hikes. In short, the market

All precious metal attractors are much lowerAll attractors/repulsors are much lower. GC: SI: PL: HG: ________________________________________________________ The last ML for Gold is so far away I can't even fit it on the chart. We're talking from 2008 to today: The TL starting at P1 connects with current prices: It hits the absolute top of this market. So, as things stand, the closest attractor, the most likely line is this one: Let's say around 3600 for Gold. I need a movie theater screen to fit the whole thing

Why Losses Hurt More Than ProfitsThe worst trading decisions don't happen when a position moves against you. They happen in the seconds after it does. Behavioral research has repeatedly measured the pain of losing against the pleasure of gaining and found a ratio that has held across decades of research. Losing $500 feels roughly twice as painful as making $500 feels good. Every trading mistake that follows from that asymmetry: the widened stop, the revenge trade, the position held months past its close, traces back to that si

When I start buying goldGold is still falling and close to the $4,000 level. Much of the recent weakness can be attributed to higher US real yields as proxied by the US 10-year Treasury yield less expected inflation. I don’t see much reason to build a gold position as long as real yields continue to rise. But the setup could become much more attractive once real yields start to decline and gold hits a technically significant level. I’ll be watching real yields closely as gold approaches that $4,000-$3,700 zone. A p

GOLD Is Leaking Lower Under The -FVG Towards Relative Equal LowsThis is an update to the Weekly Forecast posted Saturday, Sept 17th. Gold prices are bearish to start the week.

Gold - Is Gold about to break down further?Gold is showing clear signs of weakness on the daily timeframe, with the market continuing to print lower highs and lower lows. After reaching a peak above $5,600, price has gradually declined as sellers have maintained control over the market structure. The recent recovery toward the $4,700 area failed to establish a new higher high, reinforcing the bearish outlook. Gold is now trading around $4,070, approaching an important support zone that has previously attracted buyers. The key question is

A Breakout Of The Consolidation Is Coming! Bullish Or Bearish?In this Weekly Market Forecast, we will analyze Gold for the week of Oct 12-16th. Gold has been in an accumulation stage for over two weeks. It is currently trading in the bottom half of a Inversion FVG and a Daily -FVG. It saw a a bit of recovery late last week, only to see move stall out Friday. With the USD finding elevated treasury yields and a hawkish Fed, the potential gains are seemingly capped in the near term. Enjoy! May profits be upon you. Leave any questions or comments in the

Wave II vs. Wave IV — Understanding the Principle of AlternationGold Weekly Reading time: ~3 minutes In the Elliott Wave Principle, understanding market structure goes beyond counting five motive waves and three corrective waves. The relationships between waves, their degree, duration, and structural characteristics can also help us interpret the market cycle. In this weekly Gold chart, I’m examining one particularly useful concept: the guideline of alternation between Waves II and IV. Wave II — Regular Flat In my current wave count, Wave II is interpre

Gold Back to 5,000Hello I am @thecafetrader, today we are looking at gold. Due to global conditions and pressures on the dollar, Gold is continuing to be accumulated from various speculators. Here I have drawn a play for gold that I think is attractive coming into the next 3 - 6 months (if no major macro positive news comes between then). In the Short term, I think options look very attractive, even if you were to play both sides. The IV's should be low due to this tight range, come tomorrow I am looking to

Gold 1H: Both counts failed, and the lines I marked brokeWhat I posted. Two ideas on this gold 1H chart. On Oct 26, a bullish Special Deep Crab with a reaction band at 4,116-4,146 and its limit at the 1.902 extension of XA (3,954.9). On Oct 28, a five-wave decline from the Oct 13 high, expecting an A-B-C bounce into the 50-61.8% band (4,107.0-4,134.8), with the count invalid one average hourly bar under the wave 5 low (3,971.4). What happened. The bounce topped at 4,097.2 on Oct 28, about 10 points under the 50% line, so neither band was reached.
