Some Golden Thoughts. In dollars! #BRENT #DAX FACT: Golden Retrievers never, ever, retrieve #Gold ! We have two at home and both have proven failures. Otherwise… any time we mention a commodity, we prefer using the “Rolling Daily” values rather than confuse the issue by pricing up Monthly Futures Contracts. Our method gives a firm indication of direction, something generally lacking due to the last of historical data for a new contract period.
Thankfully, most companies dealing in GOLD futures appear to be using “Rolling Daily” to give spot prices whereas, rather madly, quite a few chart providers attempt to give Futures or Option contract prices. It sometimes feels they all revel in providing a confusion of information. Our own attitude is fairly simple. We collate the numbers since the beginning of time and measure strength of movements. Only then do we risk confusion by projecting movements which have not yet happened!
At time of writing, Gold Spot is trading around 1193.4 and it has a problem, should it continue to weaken below 1180. For some reason, the 1180 number has assumed a degree of self importance and the immediate situation calculates – quite firmly – of market closure below 1180 opening the door for further weakness down to 1120 dollars.
We would expect some sort of bounce at the 1120 point. But should the Spot Price close a session below 1120, we shall next mention 1025 as the eventual bottom. Interestingly, the visuals suggest some sort of real bounce can be planned for at such a point, given the prior lows of three years ago.
Surprisingly, the market does not require much action to escape the immediate pace of descent. The thick BLUE downtrend line is currently at 1230 and movement above calculates with an initial target at 1260. In itself, this is fairly useless but does tick a faint box to suggest the price has bottomed. The secondary target, if 1260 bettered, comes in at 1354 and betters the downtrend since 2010. Unfortunately, if this set of circumstance arises, the visuals demand any rise should stutter at the 1354 level, simply due to the glass ceiling which lies in wait.
Unless, of course, a world leader manages do something stupid!
For now, we shall not be aghast if 1120 eventually makes an appearance.
