Yes, his RSI analysis is great. It looks like they are just what I thought and he said, just trend lines on the RSI indicator. You cannot draw them on your software? {quote}

Your RSI appears to be set at 2 which is far too reactive. Having played around with different settings, I find 14, the industry "default" setting works best.

I believe I called this last week, not trying to toot my own horn at all, just want people to be aware, the break of 80 is upon us.

Now, in the high .70's I would have expected this dip to give gold a bit more than +14 USD to the spot price, yet the day is still young.... and I suppose we were already in the low .80s before hand anyway so perhaps it is on par.

{quote} http://www.forexfactory.com/attachme...8&d=1380709795 the trendline KADC was referring to in this post.. i dont know what it is but has relevance ! since you are here.. lemme ask you.. in the chart GqOrlando ● had posted showing the relation between DXY and Gold prices, there was a possible buy/sell signal when the prices cross.. what do you think?

It's tough to say. KADC, SunTrader and Myself have posted slews of these correlation studies and in the long term ( say 10 years) the price action does appear to be inverse.

Yet it is NOT always the case that the two GOLD (AU) and the USD are inverse.

So, in essence sure you could divulge a system using the correlation to take trades, yet you would need to study at least a few days or weeks of price action (depending on time frame of trade)
and correlation to see basically what degree the two are inverse if you were to use it to short one and long the other.

But, in retrospect, If you just analyze them loosely and see that the correlation has been either inverse or converse and simply - if inverse - short the USD when in other pairs while going Long XAU/USD, which essentially you are already shorting the USD.

I like to use USD/CHF when shorting Greenbacks because It usually respects support and resistance (major levels) and almost mirrors the USDX.

Gold seems to be in path to take out the first minor potential resistance area where it is now @1307/08

Next it needs to clear 1315.

Yet, in the larger picture, it really needs to clear and sustain 1350 / 1360 and 1375 in an attempt to retake 1400 to switch the chart bias and midterm bearish
trend to bullish.

Might have been incorrect when I said a day or two ago that the first fib zone (1288-1269) might not be the bottom of wave 5 of Wave 1 or A. It appears it is:

Silver has broken through the bottom of its prior consolidation zone. Breaking above upper resistance at ~$20.50 would be a strong indicator of reversal of trend. Gold has further to go with bottom of its consolidation channel being around $1,330 and a break above $1,350 being necessary to confirm reversal of trend, but daily RSI has now broken resistance (needs to be confirmed by tomorrow's candle) so I would keep a close eye on any shorts from wherever gold stops today.

Hi all, prices just touched my descending middle trend line, and i bought same lots to lock my pips.. What are your comments for the next moves ? 1.305 is the first resistance i guess and second one is 1.320 area. If bulls have the power to push it up... I dont wait anymore way to south before some retracement to north... {image}

I am really happy to see that !

Let's see if 1320 resistance works .. ?

1320-2 area is also 764 fibo level..

Okay. Got your point that its not that simple and i'd like to study the correlation because the cross defines the long term in the small time period that is in the image and lot of interesting things I would like to study. So, how do i get both charts on the same graph?
USD/CHF because CHF is very stable?

in the meantime GOLD takes out 1305, 1312 (close before the FOMC announcement) , lingering around 1219.. next levels 1226 and 1234..

That chart is even less useful now than it was two weeks ago. Respect here is earned on the merit of your posts not the success of blind calls.
