Jim Rogers, in Money morning :

 

"If it gets to $1,200, I hope that I'm smart enough to buy even more," he said. "If it gets to $1,100, I hope I'm smart enough to buy even more. Speak to the chartists ... the technicians ... and [look at] the retracements, or whatever they call them. A 50% retracement is not unusual. A 60% retracement is not unusual. You can do the same math that I can. You can figure out what a 40%, 50% or 60% retracement would mean for someone."

 

Here's his key point. With declines that steep - taking gold prices down to $1,150, $950 or $750 an ounce - a lot of would-be gold investors will literally throw in the towel, and will abandon gold. That's when negative sentiment will have been maximized, and gold will have bottomed.

 

"Until people start accepting reality instead of denying reality, we're not going to make the bottom," he said. "Until a lot of people just pack it in and throw gold out the window ... then gold will make a beautiful bottom and we can all participate in a multi-year bull market."

Or watch it flatline for a long while before a new bull market might start.

Out of the trading range, yes. And if one had been paying attention to what price was doing on the 8th and 9th, he would have been short on the 10th, not looking for a 20pt upside on the 12th.

 

Since you asked. :)

 

Now, of course, we're holding in a previous trading range that formed some time ago, but that is of course of no interest here, so whatever happens will likely be a surprise to those who aren't prepared.

 

Hey DB, why did you go short on the 10th if price is holding support?

All markets or just the metals, Bob?

 

 

 

Hi zdo

Tomorrow is Full Moon + a partial lunar eclipse + a big solar flare (condition red)

It usually takes a few days but Big trouble coming.

Expect markets to weaken.

Hi kuokom

I cant answer that with authority.I am still learning.

The basis of my study is we are wired to astronomical conditions.

The tides etc

The female is hardcore wired to the Lunar cycle .... 28 days.

The male is hardcore wired to ............??

Changes in external conditions cause excitability in us.

So a X flare from the Sun makes us do stupid things.

 

I think its all about the biggest force in the universe... magnetism.

How it works is the problem

 

My theory is that BIG markets with lots of participants ( S & P ) are affected more than a small market like Gold/ Silver.

You come from Luxemburg.

That indcates the DAX. Thats a Big market.

Heres the best article I have read on the BIG FALL in Gold

bobc

My A/V blocked two attacks from that site which speaks loudly to me as to the validity of it.

 

Unless of course JPM is responsible for that too. :rofl:

The short term Gold trend remains UP

Gold bumped 1440, 3 days ago and is back there, a small resistance.

A market moving up in a lunar red period is a sign of strength.

Heres an easy trade for me...

Buy the breakout above 1440 with a tight stop below 1440.

I might have to wait a few days

Not sure if it'll go further..the demand for the Gold ETF is still weak and Goldman Sachs is now another investment banking firm sending out a bearish prospect of the metal in the near term...i hope Gold gets where its being predicted ($1200-$1260) so i can get some big long positions in it..

Hey DB, why did you go short on the 10th if price is holding support?

Might have better luck getting a reply to your question than I did to my simple agree or disagree one over on his topic but he maybe unsubscribed here.

 

But I got one for you, isn't investing dot com a free charting service.

 

And if so, unless someone doesn't trade for a living (you might not??), why wouldn't they use something a little more ummm "less free"?

Hi Ammeo

How did you work out the above? My broker ,IG Markets, tells me 74% of their Gold clients are LONG.

I also hope it gets to 1200. Thats a BIG short sale.

BUT at the moment.....

Gold is now trading at 1476.

New stop at 1470. I am tempted to add another 5 contracts, but every time I do that the market retraces.

My target is now 1500 .Pure greed.

I doubled my gold position today ... anyone else use this dip as a buying opportunity?

 

MMS

 

MMS, Yes using this “dip” as a buying opportunity (and by dip I’m thinking you mean the downdraft that started back in early Oct 12)… but certainly I’m not doubling up.

I’m buying incrementally more PMs when SI goes below .67… so far only two fills – one at 23.67 and one at 22.67 for an avg price of around 23.10 SI (and equivalent AU).

For a lot of such campaigns, I scale in in a manner I’ve described elsewhere… shorting USDINR, etc. (somewhat similar to the process 1a2b3cp4pp has been describing - sans options, btw) but in this particular case, I’m using stops. … and in this particular case I’m using a tight stop at ~22.30… and may move it to b.e. as early as this coming Sun night.

If I get stopped out I will just start over with three loads at 21.67 and proceed from there…( and also be prepared to stop back incrementally in if it goes back up.)

 

ie i'm projecting high probs of lower prices

i just read some Articles on the web here and there and followed a few market commentators...

 

its never about how many retail traders are long in an asset at the moment, its more about supply and demand and Gold currently has a lesser demand at the big corporate firms and banks....+ what i said was a long term view (call it a couple of months or more) with no technicals involved..

    • Date: 8th April 2025.   Markets Rebound Cautiously as US-China Tariff Tensions Deepen     Global markets staged a tentative recovery on Tuesday following a wave of volatility sparked by escalating trade tensions between the United States and China. The Asia-Pacific region showed signs of stability after a chaotic start to the week—though some pockets remained under pressure. Taiwan’s Taiex dropped 4.4%, dragged lower by losses in tech heavyweight TSMC. The world’s largest chipmaker fell another 4% on Tuesday and has now slumped 13.5% since April 2, when US President Donald Trump first unveiled what he called ‘Liberation Day’ tariffs.   However, broader sentiment across the region turned more positive, with several markets rebounding sharply after Monday’s dramatic sell-offs. Japan’s Nikkei 225 surged over 6% in early trading, rebounding from an 18-month low. South Korea’s Kospi rose marginally, and Australia’s ASX 200 gained 1.9%, driven by strength in mining stocks. Hong Kong’s Hang Seng rose 1.6%, though still far from recovering from Monday’s 13.2% crash—its worst day since the 1997 Asian financial crisis. China’s Shanghai Composite added 0.9%.   In Europe, DAX and FTSE 100 are up more than 1% in opening trade. EU Commission President von der Leyen repeated yesterday that the EU had offered reciprocal zero tariffs on manufactured goods previously and continues to stand by that offer. Others are also trying again to talk to Trump to get some sort of agreement that limits the impact.   Much of the rally appeared to be driven by dip-buying, as well as hopes that the intensifying trade war could still be defused through negotiations.   China Strikes Back: ‘We Will Fight to the End’   Tensions reached a boiling point after Trump threatened to impose an additional 50% tariff on all Chinese imports unless Beijing rolled back its retaliatory measures by April 8. ‘If China does not withdraw its 34% increase above their already long-term trading abuses by tomorrow... the United States will impose additional tariffs on China of 50%,’ Trump declared on social media.   If implemented, the new tariffs would bring total US duties on Chinese goods to a staggering 124%, factoring in the existing 20%, the 34% recently announced, and the proposed 50%.   In response, China’s Ministry of Commerce issued a stern warning, stating: ‘The US threat to escalate tariffs is a mistake on top of a mistake... If the US insists on its own way, China will fight to the end.’ The ministry also called for equal and respectful dialogue, though signs of compromise on either side remain scarce.   Beijing acted quickly to contain a market fallout. State funds intervened to support equities, and the People’s Bank of China set the yuan fixing at its weakest level since September 2023 to boost export competitiveness. Additionally, five-year interest rate swaps in China fell to their lowest levels since 2020, indicating potential for further monetary easing.   Trump Talks Tough on EU Too   Trump’s hardline approach extended beyond China. Speaking at a press conference, he rejected the European Union’s offer to eliminate tariffs on cars and industrial goods, accusing the bloc of ‘being very bad to us.’ He insisted that Europe would need to source its energy from the US, claiming the US could ‘knock off $350 billion in one week.’   The EU, meanwhile, backed away from a proposed 50% retaliatory tariff on American whiskey, opting instead for 25% duties on selected US goods in response to Trump’s steel and aluminium tariffs.     Volatile Wall Street Adds to the Drama   Wall Street experienced wild swings on Monday as investors processed the rapidly evolving trade conflict. The S&P 500 briefly fell 4.7% before rebounding 3.4%, nearly erasing its losses in what could have been its biggest one-day jump in years—if it had held. The Dow Jones Industrial Average sank by as much as 1,700 points early in the day but later climbed nearly 900 points before closing 349 points lower, down 0.9%. The Nasdaq ended up 0.1%.   The brief rally was fueled by a false rumour that Trump was considering a 90-day pause on tariffs—rumours that the White House quickly labelled ‘fake news.’ The market's sharp reaction underscored how desperate investors are for any sign that tensions might ease.   Oil Markets in Focus: Goldman Sachs Revises Forecasts   Crude prices also reflected the uncertainty, with US crude briefly dipping below $60 per barrel for the first time since 2021. As of early Tuesday, Brent crude was trading at $64.72, while WTI hovered around $61.26.   Goldman Sachs, in a note dated April 7, lowered its average price forecasts for Brent and WTI through 2025 and 2026, citing mounting recession risks and the potential for higher-than-expected supply from OPEC+.       Under a base-case scenario where the US avoids a recession and tariffs are reduced significantly before the April 9 implementation date, Goldman sees Brent at $62 per barrel and WTI at $58 by December 2025. These figures fall further to $55 and $51, respectively, by the end of 2026. This outlook also assumes moderate output increases from eight OPEC+ countries, with incremental boosts of 130,000–140,000 barrels per day in June and July.   However, should the US slip into a typical recession and OPEC production aligns with the bank’s baseline assumptions, Brent could retreat to $58 by the end of this year and to $50 by December 2026.   In a more bearish scenario involving a global GDP slowdown and no change to OPEC+ output levels, Brent prices might fall to $54 by year-end and $45 by late 2026. The most extreme projection—based on a simultaneous economic downturn and a full reversal of OPEC+ production cuts—would see Brent plunge to below $40 per barrel by the end of 2026.   Goldman noted that oil prices could outperform forecasts significantly if there was a dramatic shift in tariff policy and a surprise in global demand recovery.   Cautious Optimism, But Warnings Persist   With both Washington and Beijing showing no signs of backing down, markets are likely to remain volatile in the days ahead. Investors now turn their attention to upcoming trade meetings and policy decisions, hoping for clarity in what has become one of the most unpredictable trading environments in recent years.   Always trade with strict risk management.
