Well. It seems like tonight's session has taken a valium....

Maybe some action during London..

In any case - upside break and hold 1545 then immediate 1550 and sustain.

Downside, if 1530 range bottom goes, look to 1518/16 area next for support.

Going to read some news......

OK - well to help others would you like to share your analysis? Otherwise the thread is just a record of your trades, which I don't believe is what XTrade intended.......

i've stopped taking LONG since last week.

If you put MACD on the Daily TF, you'll notice that the MaCD is pointing downward and had a bearish divergence with the previous high of 1575 peak

GOLD also failed to break 1550 level. Tested for 7times already, went above it and came down very fast. Like yesterday, just touched and retraced half.

the upward movement seemed to be exhausted already, should retrace to EMA 200 on the daily chart soon

It's going sideway at the moment, and had hit the 1550 ceiling, waiting for the hammering down movement soon within 2weeks time

i'm preparing to short next week. TP @ 1450

Daily CCI 60 uptrend line broken, please refer back to the previous 3 trendline break.

CCI(60) is 3months data and if the uptrend trendline is broken, it might be ugly to take LONG.

i'm slowly building up my short position waiting for the mega retracement to the daily EMA 200

The 200 day EMA is at 1399 and hasn't been touched since April 2009. Is that your target or is 1450?
Also MACD crossed up on 25th May and is still positive.....
Here's GC Daily with 200 EMA and MACD - don't see it myself......http://screencast.com/t/KCRwrQkwB.
Also on the CCI all I see is a series of higher lows....... http://www.screencast.com/t/XogKn4RMtlPH

thanks - am always willing to learn and to be proved wrong

The retests also have higher lows, looks like it is creeping up to break thru, but that is just a guess. Also, CCI? Really?

Sorry if I'm being a pain - I have no problem with discussing technical analysis and welcome positive input. By going over things with others I can recheck my own analysis and ensure that my trades have the best possibility of success.

However, analysis needs to be precise otherwise it is little more than unsupported assertion - which in turn I believe is slightly less useful than a chocolate teapot

when it finally retrace to the EMA 200, it might be 5weeks later, so the EMA 200 at that time wouldnt be 1399.
If this is a mega bull, it will find 1450 i guess, or max lowest to 1420.

cross zero point only short ?
for signs of weakness, you'll see the histogram drop below the moving average then slowly it both will point down and move towards zero line.
So earlier signal of weakness is already there.


@ LasVahGoose

I've tested CCI using CCI 40 and CCI 60.
it is quite accurate to say this, once the sloping up trendline broken, it will have to break another horizontal line. then only a downtrend is confirmed.

As you can see in the chart, it has already broken the sloping up (uptrend) trendline, and now going sideway.

right now, GOLD is squeezing @ between 1535 and 1550. if it breaks 1535, the pullback to EMA 200 is very likely to happen.

thats why i said i'm slowly building up my SHORT position because if it goes upward, max can reach 1575, and then pullback to EMA 200. but if it cannot break 1550, then it will find 1450.

Can't say I agree with this - you had better be pretty certain before shorting what even you call a "mega bull".....

There are no signals from rsi, macd, stochastics on the dailies that i can see. More importantly the uptrend is intact. The physical demand is very strong in London and the COTs figures are not shouting "bear" from the rooftops. With the possibility of QE3 around the corner I hope you use good money management......

Also don't know what you mean by "cross zero point only short"....

ya, i do really think that sharing is the only way to improve. : )

your CCI setting is set at CCI 14, means about near to 3weeks of data. My CCI is set to CCI 60, means is about 3months of data.

If you do observe, each of the bull move ranges from about $90 to about $110. it will roughly take about 4weeks or so, which if you buy each dip, you'll be smiling. so my setting is meant to see whether is it still on this move up.
Or is it just waiting to get hammered down.

the CCI 14 is not sufficient to see whether it is still riding on this upward move i'd say.

or put it like this,
please shift your charts to weekly timeframe and with RSI (14).

see what happens when it reaches 70 level.

you'll see an engulfing bar down.


Gold is in a mega bull situation, but unfortunately it doesnt move up in a straight line. It moves in $100 then retrace and find support, then moves up another $100.

first wave was end of January, from 1320 to 1440 ($120 move up), then retrace to $1380 (pullback $50).

then after some consolidation. after breaking $1440, all the way to 1575 ($130), then retrace to $1470 ($100move down).

then 1470 to 1550 (now, $80) move up.


If you see the weekly chart RSI(14), whenever it is reaching 70, it is close to this pullback. Now it is over 75 at weekly chart. we are at the end of the uptrend. UPTREND EXHAUSTION is happening.
How much is this ? i'm guessing that it might be $100 range which is $1450.

my strategy is different, look monthly chart there is pullback after reach $250 to $300 retrace is $100 it happen in every 6th month but this time it was in 4th month because $300 happened earlier.
