Justwhen most traders thought that the previous week is going to end in the red forgold, something exceptional happened. The USD Index reversed after rallying,and gold rallied sharply in response. In the end, gold ended the week in thegreen by forming a clear weekly reversal.
Thatwas actually the second weekly reversal that we saw recently. Why is thisimportant? Because of what happened shortly after we saw the opposite of it notso long ago.
TheAnatomy of Gold Reversals
TheAugust and early-September reversals were followed by sizable short-termdeclines and the combined reversals themselves have most likely created the2019 top.
Theopposite of what created the major top, should create a major bottom now,right? Not so fast. The double reversal is indeed bullish, but there’s one moredetail to pay attention to before callinga major bottom in gold. Gold’svolume.
Thevolume that accompanied the August and September reversals was big, and thevolume that we saw recently – especially last week – was small. Sure, it wasthe long Thanksgiving weekend, which means that fewer traders were makingtransactions, which explains why the volume was low. Still, knowing what’sbelow the low volume’s surface doesn’t change the fact that low volume meansthat the candlestick formations (like the weekly reversal) should not be takenat face value. They give some hints, but they are not as reliable as if theytook place on huge volume.
Therecent situation is more similar to what we saw in early March. There was aclear weekly reversal, but it was accompanied by low volume. And what happenedshortly thereafter? Gold rallied, but not significantly so. At least not withinthe next several weeks. This tells us that the recent reversals – while bullish– are not too bullish and not beyond the next week or a few of them. Perhapsnot even beyond the next several days.
Whatwould one use to forecasta top in gold prices within this week?
TheCase for the Upcoming Gold Top
Becauseof the looming triangle-vertexbased turning point. The recent turningpoints for gold, silver and mining stocks worked perfectly bypinpointing the early November top, and they also correctly estimated the mostrecent reversals – the local bottoms after which gold, silver and miners movedhigher.
Theearly November top is clearest in case of silver (middle of the above chart),while the recent local bottoms are most clearly visible in case of gold miners(lower part of the chart).
Thenext triangle reversal is due this week, which makes it likely that we’ll seesome kind of turnaround shortly. The important details about this turnaround isthat it’s confirmed by not one but two markets – silver and miners, whichincreases the odds that the reversal will indeed take place. The early-Novembertop, for instance, was indicated by all three parts of the PMmarket at once.
Let’skeep in mind that it’s not the only factor pointing to this outcome. The True Seasonalityfor gold confirms the above.
On average,gold price has been spiking around late November and early December. Please notethat while on average gold performs best in late November, the accuracy readingactually rises strongly in the next several days. This means that while thebiggest price moves usually happened sooner, some of them arrive a bit late.When gold soared sooner, it didn’t decline immediately. The take-away here isthat even if the above is not 100% correct, and price spike doesn’t happenright away, it means that it’s still likely to arrive shortly.
Basedon the weekly candlestick reversals in gold, the looming triangle reversals,gold’s True Seasonality, and other factors, it seems that gold is going torally and top shortly.
Apartfrom outlining the take-profit targets of our long position opened rightafter the November 12 reversal, the full version of thisanalysis features a valuable sign from yesterday’s action in mining stocks, andthe analysis of gold’s upcoming very short-term moves and targets. Bottom line,these are invaluable tools in planning when and where to profitably switchmarket sides – just as our preceding success with the earlier short position.Please note that you can still subscribe to these Alerts at very promotionalterms – it takes just $9 to read the details right away, and then receivefollow-ups for the next three weeks.
