The Weekly Gold Digger


If the US Dollar Index breaks below $87.13, I believe that it may break even further.  I am currently bullish the US Dollar at least to the previous highs of $90.00 zone.  In my opinion, the relationships between the markets should be observed, but no longer relied upon in trading.   Gold prices had been off by about 6% this week after hitting the highs of 11 months.   Shanghai Futures Exchange had reported warehouse Gold inventories declining to 5 kg from last weeks high of 27 kg.   The Exhange Traded Funds have also backed off from the flow of investment dollars.

Gold 

 

The April Gold Contract has broken down to a low of $927.00.  The Short-term trend is clearly lower.  At the risk of putting myself out there.  I feel that this retracement may take the market temporarily lower possibly to  $891.00 support.  The low of the day has been noted as a buy zone for many analysts.  It is my opinion that the chart has suffered some damage and may trade lower before pulling in the major buyers.   

A short note on the Crude Oil:  I still expect  $31.25 as written on my previous issues.  I feel that one last shakeout is necessary for traders to buy the Crude Oil enough to build momentum.  The Short-term trend is clearly up for the moment and may range trade between $46.83-$58.85 before any shake-outs.

Traders that wish to enter on the long side of the Gold Market may wish to enter on a pullback to  $891.00.  I still remain the Long-term bull to $1030.00.

Healthy re-tracements may often provide more support to the market while allowing new entries.   Given the volatility of the Gold Market, stops placed too close to entry levels will be vulnerable to election.  To manage the risk without a stop loss, a trader may use a Call Option/Bull Call Spreads to limit their exposure.    Due to the fluctuations in this market, please consult with your broker or call us to strategize a risk management plan in line with your personal risk tolerance.   Traders that wish to participate in the Gold Futures Markets may look at the E-Mini Gold contracts which have a lower margin requirement than that of the larger Gold contract.  Please look for current margins before entering this market and be sure to allow cash cushion for any adverse conditions.  Please consult with your broker to calculate the risk, stop loss orders or option strategies before entering such a volatile market.   Investors that wish to take a position in the Gold Futures market should devise a plan according to their goals, risk tolerance and the amount of money they are willing to risk in this sector.  Like many other investments, the success of the trading plan must take into consideration the timing of the entries and exits.

Please call or email me for the complete recommendation to coincide with your risk tolerance, so that we may apply the correct Money Management.   The Weekly Gold Digger is a Free Weekly subscription to receive trading opportunities by email along with fundamental commentary and basic technical points of interest.   Take a close look and feel free to call in and talk to me in greater detail.  It would be my pleasure.
