Ok it took me exactly 2.7 seconds to spot the 2 problems on your chart.I don't want to get in a war about how to draw a trendline,so i'll draw a discreet veil over that.

 

But I think you may be confused by the words "gold continuation chart".It does not mean it literally.Trading isn't that easy,a veteran like you on a good day would probably know that.I'm making allowances based on your current state...meditation

 

Believe me,if I thought I could move a market my way by meditating i'd do it.Now,that's a news item you wont see on Bloomberg.

Who can you trust these days? It said continuation. :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: maybe you will like one of these lines?.. I can't please everyone you know...

Bob come on man. When was the last time you saw me post I'm long.

Maybe if I take a Viagra I'll be long. Until then I'll be waiting for the trend to actually turn.

 

:)

 

Meantime I'll post when there is a reason to post.

 

On another note I did notice Silver starting to act better than Gold.

Thanks Bob for taking time to warn me about which bank not to be a client of,but always found these big institutions too risky to have any money with them.

 

Silver up-move is guided by the same aspects that brought the high in 2011,but it certainly wont take it where it had been taken back then. Pricewise we are 60deg in the next cycle which I had shown earlier,also today US did not follow through with the up-move so we might take a breather here.Asia should now finish the up-swing the close stopped earlier.If it goes up further next target is around 22.20

Please have look at the 24 hour kitco chart

The green line is NOW

The white arrows show where YESTERDAY, Gold bumpted resistance TWICE

But Asia opened at 1340 and closed at 1340...... no problem.

I thought this was a sign of strength and today Gold would break 1350

 

Then Reuters published the BIG SHOT filings for the second quarter.

Soros sold , Paulson sold half, and Patuca sold :rofl::rofl:

And Gold demand was Down :confused:

 

London fixed price dropped $10 and we are back at 1325 . Orange arrow

 

Siuya says buy the dips

I'm a buyer at 1320

Target 1343

Stop below the low.... my worry.

regards

bobc

 

WARNING.....All sorts of aspects happening from the 17th, which means Monday.

Perhaps stay in cash.

Mr Bob...

 

Have you been using the ATM STRATEGY in your daily gold training. Please notice the range. Notice the race to the top (albeit on day chart race seems slower:rofl:)...then the race to the bottom...then the race to the top again....now price action is near top of the range. Given that 70% to 80% of breakouts fail what is the next likely move for gold? Answer: a race to the bottom of the range. However, it could breakout out to the upside as sooner or later it will breakout either north or south. If it does breakout say to the north then it might be wise to wait for a confirmation of he breakout...like a second bull bar making higher high and closing higher (outside the range) or a pullback that stays outside the range or at the edge of the range with the north trend resuming after the pullback. Why? The reason is the first breakout bar often gets sucked right back into the range.

 

Simple eh? Works on all time frames..maybe too simple for the slew of indicator people?

 

May be Too many negative vibes for gold to push through the resistance so odds favor a breakout failure. Hence a probable run back to bottom of the range. But, if it were to breakout this time (i can't get Mits to cooperate with positive vibes for gold:haha:) then again, the new strategy is to wait or confirmation before taking a position.

 

THE ATM STRATEGY. Put card in machine ..withdraw cash...wait for the race...put the card in and withdraw more cash.....repeat as often a necessary until a confirmed breakout occurs.

I went long several weeks ago right after the bottom. But instead of gold I bought SVM NG and SA. All are doing well. Then the ebook Beyond the Andrews Pitchfork came out. In it he revealed a technique that is used to find strong turns. The only sector that showed up at the time was gold.

I bought SVM because it is a silver stock with a 4% dividend.

 

He has two other books. One called Power trend investing and Roger Babson's Action Reaction technique. Has anyone read them?

for clarity.....no......

 

Bob - in quoting Ron Burgundy anchorman to Tits Macgee - " you have a dirty whorish mouth" :) (guess whats on the TV in the background?)

 

 

 

I said sell the rallies.....agreeing with Patucca extraordinary as it might seem!

 

If it breaks up (1350 seems a reasonable level) then the strategy is likely to change to start looking at buying dips.....you are just faster than I in changing the strategy if you are buying the dips already.

 

enjoy -

Hi Siuya

Your post is a trading paradox

I am already long, but have moved my STOP to 1330 , so I dont know for how long.

I want to place a BUY STOP order at 1352 to catch the breakout

And most breakouts fail.

In the mean time I will still trade the dips.

You are selling the rally to 1351 and only buying on dips.

Are you ignoring a possible breakout?

regards

bobc

I wonder which is the best procedure.

 

Gold is now at 1370

I never placed my BUY at 1351

I have decided to commit suicide

To all my friends.....and SunTrader

Goodbye

stop cpt bob! Do not do it. A person can still buy the breakout on any pb tomm. If no pb then with this huge strong bull bar a body can buy the open tomm and place a stop below the breakout... There is still time....big bull bars closing near their highs is another form of confirmation.

 

Ps remember my secret indian code in drawing with the tipi which mits was mocking? Well the sitting bull is now standing up....he may start running soon..

 

Cheers capt bob cheers..tomm is a bright day...

Since 2000, the price of gold has outperformed the price of Berkshire Hathaway stock by over 300%.

But many of BH stockholders never sell. Doubt it is the same for holders of Gold. To the same extent.

The commodity itself isn’t going to do anything for you….it is an entirely different game to buy a lump of something and hope that somebody else pays you more for that lump two years from now than it is to buy something that you expect to produce income for you over time”.

 

 

I'm almost certain that I remember reading something a couple of years back about Buffet/Berkshire accumulating a physical holding in gold.

 

May just be me mis-remembering though . . .

Is the BEAR trend over?

 

We've had a trendline break,but the price is still a long way from 1520.....the 200 day MA.

 

Short term we have 17 days UP to the swing high, then 11 days DOWN to the swing low.

We need more than 11 days to the next swing high...... and then Bobs your uncle. ;)

 

In the mean time, theres a TURN date Monday/ Tuesday (Gold Uranus 72 degree)

So Buy for scalp to 1400

But if the market opens down on Monday , wait for the TURN.

No shorts.The trend is UP. :doh:

I cant wait for Monday :missy:

 

Perhaps I should add a bit more on TURNS......... for the workers.

We dont know which way it will TURN

All we know is if the market is up, it will TURN down, and V .V.

So we have an idea of direction. It works 70% of the time.

 

And next Friday there is lots more action.

Guest Post: What Warren Buffett Doesn?t Understand About Investing | Zero Hedge

 

When the gold bulls are starting to compare against Warren Buffett you know there is something screwy going on. I am old enough to remember the last time Buffett was termed a dinosaur - the internet bubble - remember how that ended.

 

- a closer look would reveal that gold has really only had its big outperformance in the last few years - which it should have done given the fear.

- over the long term - lets say compared to when Berkshire started - what has been the comparable compounded returns?

- this is an interesting comparison - Berkshire Hathaway vs. S&P 500 comparison

(has gold returned the same for a $1 investment?)

- if you want to compare arguably the greatest stock market investor to a single instrument, then I am sure there are better single stock returns that might be used to make gold look pretty ordinary.

 

Point is - clutching at straws to reinforce an existing belief is still clutching at straws.

 

(I am neither a fan nor a detractor of gold or Buffett - there is certainly a cult of following for both, but FFS when people compare the two - I would take Buffetts returns over golds any day - as we are constantly reminded that gold simply maintains its purchasing power - right ??? - of is it now the extra claim that gold actually should outperform this as well? Real wealth creation v speculation or maintaining capital. .... weekend rant! :) )

    • Date: 24th February 2025.   German Markets Surge as Friedrich Merz Set To Be Chancellor, Euro Gains on Fiscal Shift   Germany’s stock index futures and the euro rallied after opposition leader Friedrich Merz secured victory. Investors expect a shift toward increased government spending. US-China trade tensions rise as Trump tightens restrictions on Chinese investments. AI optimism fuels Chinese tech stocks despite regulatory concerns. Nvidia’s earnings report on Wednesday is expected to impact market volatility. German Markets React to Election Results Germany’s stock market and currency experienced a sharp rally in Asian trading after conservative leader Friedrich Merz won the country’s federal election. This victory aligns with pre-election polls and signals a potential departure from Germany’s traditionally strict fiscal policies. Futures tied to the DAX Index surged as much as 1.5% on Monday, recovering from early losses in a session marked by thin trading volume. Meanwhile, the euro strengthened against most major currencies, climbing 0.7% against the U.S. dollar. Market analysts believe Merz’s leadership could mark the end of Germany’s tight fiscal stance, with expectations that his administration will prioritize economic stimulus. This shift comes at a critical time, as Europe’s largest economy grapples with sluggish growth, geopolitical uncertainties, and the threat of a global trade war under U.S. President Donald Trump. The euro’s strength also reflects optimism that Merz will form a government quickly, which wasn’t a widely held expectation before the election.     US-China Trade Tensions Intensify While European markets gained, US-China trade tensions escalated as Trump ordered stricter regulations on Chinese investments in key sectors, including technology, energy, and infrastructure. The move is part of a broader strategy to limit China’s influence in strategic industries. Although not legally binding, the directive strengthens oversight by the Committee on Foreign Investment in the United States (CFIUS), a panel responsible for reviewing foreign acquisitions. JPMorgan strategists warned that this decision could reverse gains in Chinese tech stocks, which had rallied earlier in the year. Despite geopolitical headwinds, Chinese technology stocks have posted strong gains this year, largely driven by optimism in artificial intelligence (AI) and key policy shifts. The market remains under-owned by global investors, suggesting potential for further capital inflows. The growing AI industry has helped offset risks from US tariffs, with investor sentiment remaining bullish on leading Chinese firms like Alibaba and Tencent. Chinese officials reacted strongly, with Vice Premier He Lifeng raising concerns about Trump’s recent 10% tariff hike on Chinese goods in a call with US Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent. Additionally, sources revealed that Trump’s administration urged Mexico to impose tariffs on Chinese imports as part of broader trade negotiations.   Despite these challenges, investor focus remains on Nvidia’s earnings report on Wednesday, a key event that could drive market volatility.   Gold Nears Record Highs on Inflation and Central Bank Demand Gold prices held near $2,940 an ounce, just shy of last week’s record, as ETF inflows surged and the US dollar weakened. The precious metal is on its longest winning streak since 2020, fueled by rising inflation expectations and mounting geopolitical uncertainties under Trump’s administration. Lower US Treasury yields have also boosted bullion’s appeal, with traders now expecting the Federal Reserve’s first rate cut in July rather than September. Markets will closely watch Friday’s inflation data, a key indicator for Fed policy direction. Final Thoughts Markets are reacting to a mix of political and economic shifts, with Germany’s election outcome boosting European equities while US-China trade tensions create uncertainty for Asian markets. Investors will be closely monitoring fiscal policy changes in Germany, Nvidia’s earnings, and further trade developments for insights into market direction.

    • INO Inovio Pharmaceuticals stock, holding strong, watch for a bottom breakout above 2.36 at https://stockconsultant.com/?INO
    • Date: 21st February 2025.   European PMI Disappoint, Weighing on Euro Before German Elections   The Euro is the first currency to witness the volatility on this month’s PMI reports. The French, German and British PMI data have resulted in the Euro being the worst-performing currency of the European Session so far. However, will the Euro continue to decline throughout the day? European Purchasing Managers’ Indexes The French Purchasing Managers Index was the first European index to be made public. The release resulted in the Euro instantly declining 0.24%. The main concern from the French data was the Services PMI which fell from 48.2 to 44.5. Previously the market was expecting the data to remain more or less unchanged. The weak data triggered the decline which came to a halt after Germany’s PMI was released.     The German Manufacturing PMI read 0.5 points higher than previous expectations and the Services PMI was 0.2 points lower. The data from Germany was a relief for Euro investors and the price rose 0.12% higher. However, traders should note that the price of the EURUSD continues to remain 0.20% lower than yesterday’s close. The price of the EURUSD will now depend on the PMI data from the US. The value of the US Dollar will depend on its PMI release this afternoon and the Consumer Sentiment Index. Analysts expect both the US Services and Manufacturing PMI data to remain above the 50.00 level in the expansion zone. German Elections 2 Days Away Germany is set to hold a general election this Sunday, February 23rd, following the collapse of the coalition of social democrats, liberals, and greens. Given the country's highly proportional electoral system, German polls provide a strong indication of potential government formations post-election. The main concern for Germany is the AFD party who are Far-Right Nationalists. Currently, ahead in the polls are CDU (centre-right), and AFD (far right), followed by the SPD (centre-left). Traders should note that the results of the elections are likely to trigger strong volatility on Monday, but also influence volatility today. Economists may become further concerned if the far-right gains power for the first time due to uncertainty. If the government, similar to France, is unable to form a coalition, this would also be a concern for the Eurozone. Furthermore, the Euro this week is also under pressure from comments from members of the European Central Bank. ECB Governing Council member Fabio Panetta said to journalists that officials need not slow interest rate cuts, as January's 2.5% inflation is still expected to reach the 2.0% target this year. He also advised the European economy is weaker than previously expected. EURUSD - Technical Analysis and Indicators The EURUSD is trading above the 75-bar Exponential Moving Average and 100-bar Simple Moving Average on the 2-hour chart. However, the price is moving away from the key resistance level at 1.05058 indicating the price is losing momentum. The short-term volatility is indicating the price is retracing downwards. On the 5-minute timeframe, the price is trading below the 200-bar SMA and is also forming clear lower lows and highs. Simultaneously, the US Dollar Index is trading above the 200-bar SMA on the 5-minute chart confirming no current conflicts. Currently, the US Dollar is the best-performing currency of the day attempting to regain losses from the past 2 weeks. Watch today’s Live Analysis Session for more signals as they develop!   Key Takeaway Points: Weak French Services PMI triggered an initial Euro decline, but German PMI provide a slight relief. However, EURUSD remains lower than yesterday’s close. The Euro’s direction now depends on the US PMI reports, with analysts expecting US data to stay in expansion territory. Sunday's German election could drive volatility, especially if the far-right AFD gains power or if coalition formation proves difficult. ECB official Fabio Panetta suggested no need to slow rate cuts, citing weaker-than-expected economic performance and expected inflation decline. Always trade with strict risk management.
