Elliott Wave Analysis of Gold 29 Aug 2010
When I presented my wave analysis of Gold on 25th July, we were looking for a rally from around 1157 because a 5-wave decline seemed over. I also warned to wait for the selling to start before joining in. During the month that has passed, Gold has rallied as expected, but the rally is taking [...]
Gold :Medium Term Elliott Wave Analysis 25 July 2010
Elliott Wave analysis of Gold as discussed here on 23 December 2009 had warned us to look for one final upmove once the complex correction from the prior peak at 1226 was completed. We got the move that reached 1265 on 21st June 2010. I would now like to suggest that Gold has probably completed [...]
Elliott Wave Analysis of Gold : 2 February 2010
A correction can sometimes be 100% of the prior move, and this is what we seem to have got in Gold. Take a look at this chart where the Elliott Wave count labels are clearly marked. Gold has retraced 100% of its prior rally and has embarked on a strong rally that we have been patiently [...]
Wave analysis of Gold. Update 15 Jan 2010
Hello again. I am inclined to say that the post of 31 Dec was based on incomplete data for the short term because of the gaps. I had assumed (presumably incorrec tly) that we had an overlap. Perhaps the 4th wave was lost in the gap, and we really had a full 5-wave pattern there? [...]
Gold again! Update of 24 December 2009
Now that Gold has staged a smart recovery from the lows, [ and is likely to close the week above 1100 ], I thought it will be instructive to post how one should have traded this final fifth wave. As always, you will find the comments written on the chart itself. Briefly, one could have [...]
Elliott Wave Analysis of Gold 23 December 2009
Many investors and traders must be wondering about the immediate direction for Gold now that we seem to have come well below the 1100 level. My previous comment had said we need a weekly close below 1100 to cast doubts on the call for a fresh surge in the price of Gold. Today, I spent [...]
Medium Term Outlook for Gold
Here is my medium term outlook for Gold. After having overshot the minimum target of 1161 handsomely and reached a high of 1226, gold has experienced a bout of profit taking. In the medium term, the outlook for gold calls for a final push higher before a serious correction can set in. That upward drive [...]
Gold reaches record highs and first objective
Almost a month back, I wrote in these pages that Gold will stay bid until it reaches at least 1069, and if sentiment remains strong, we could even see 1161. At that time, the precious metal was trading at 1016. Today, Gold has reached a record high and met that first target at 1069, and [...]
Gold shines
Every now and then I run into these situations when I have to revise my analysis of several instruments at the same time. The simple fact is NO ONE can forecast the markets. What one can do is to determine with a reasonable degree of confidence about the likelihoodof a certain pattern developing in the [...]
Gold posts head and shoulders top: 14 June 2009
Gold has closed below the neckline of what looks like a nice head and shoulders top. The neckline itself lies at 944, and will become a major resistance if the metal continues to slide towards its first target around 900. Readers will remember that I have been calling for a significant downmove in Gold, most [...]
Is Gold ready to collapse? 7 June 2009
Has Gold completed its 2nd retracement that often follows a fifth wave extension? This is an important question because if Gold has indeed finished its upmove, what should follow is a significant down move that could reach 650, or potentially even lower towards 560. On the surface, such a proposition seems laughable. But be warned [...]
Outlook for Gold
Many of you are aware that I have been looking for a serious downmove in Gold, but only AFTER a second retracement of the move that followed the initial sell off at the end of an extended fifth wave. We are currently still in that second retracement. I would urge traders to be paitient because the recent moves are not suggestive of an imminent reversal. Take a look at the chart below for additional inputs.
Don’t get overly bullish on Gold
Yesterday someone told me that he has been long Gold and is very happy. I remembered that sometime back I had posted an update saying that Gold will eventually move below $650. I am now saying that we will go even lower, perhaps to $560-580. How do we profit from this call? There are two or three things we could do.
Fifth wave extensions can make you rich!
The easiest way to make money in any market is after a fifth wave extension. While identifying the precise end point of an extension is often a challenge, you can become quite rich by joining in once the correction starts.
The Gold Rush (for the exits)
A couple of days ago, I tempered my bearish view on Gold by presenting a 30-minute chart. The sideways movement appeared to me as the beginning stages of a complex correction. Unfortunately, while the correction was “complex” in text-book terms, it didn’t quite recover sufficiently to give us another chance to shout “sell”.
