{quote} I think gold should bounce back up from here for two reasons: firstly the on going crisis in Iraq and Ukraine and secondly the unexpected rise in CPI (as Gold is traditionally hedge against inflation and the last three month's decline was mainly due to deflationary pressures)
yes, but there is 1 thing besides all that putting stronger bearish pressure.
China crisis + Gold Technicals....

this rally is short lived, $1271-$1274 before going to $1263 again, short term target is $1257 .

yes, gold has been a hedge against inflation...but when central banks raise rates, that attracts investment, and gold prices tend to decline. I remember in the early 1980s when Fed Chairman Volker raised rates and gold prices crashed. I am not saying that is the scenario today, but I would be cautious. If Yellen follows Carney...then rates will go up in 2015 and gold prices will likely decline.

hmmm... Yellen is not going to follow Carney...

U.s needs GDP growth, plus its targeting 2-3 inflation... right now we are barely seeing those figures (even though they are tapering; the Fed cannot announce interest rate hikes in their forward guidance...it will be counter productive to what it wants to achieve and could back fire...

The Fed also wants a weaker dollar; which can help with achieving 2-3% inflation targets (as imports become more expensive) and not to mention the boost to U.S exports that can come; which will help their GDP growth...

Low interest rates also ties into low mortgage rates...which the U.s needs in order for the housing sector to recover...There is a lot of work to be done here...
Hence I really think it is premature to talk about interest rate hikes...(end of 2015-summer 2016) regardless of what Carney does...

dear ClockTrader - could You explain how you work with the positions built like this? thank You in advance, i would really apretiate.
Mind is like a parachute - it is useful only if open
Looks like we retraced 50.0 of the down move and its still bearish.
London open respected the top line of Asian down move and we got rejected by prior resistance around 1266.5.
Lets see if we can break it and get out of the m15 cloud.

Fellas,

Today I need your advise. I intend to invest for long term, unable to cope up with $10 up / down. I keep losing peace of mind.

IF it falls like $30 - $50 or way more over the next 10 days or later tonight, I would be more than happy to buy. Yes, I would indeed be very happy to buy at lower levels. However, I would hate if Gold flies high without taking my load. I strongly believe that bottom forms in the month of June every year.

As far as my technicals are concerned, I strongly think that Gold should fall, but, I can't take the risk. I cleared all the shorts (hedges).

Please advise what you think?

no short, buy if it falls... it will fall for making pressure that dollar is strong...
Technical I see lil bit more down (around 1240 at least). But since yesterday im lost.

After we tested the bottom or at least 1240 Im ready to load for longterm trades.
But im scared FOMC will send this up for some reason and it will not come back

When it comes to long term longs, I happen to be highly conservative, so timid that I least use the funds. I am least loaded right now, just trying to play safe.



Thanks for the advise fellas!

If your heart says long and you're expecting the collapse of the USD soon (you don't wanna miss the boat), it's probably a good strategy to start building your longs now.

Get in now so you won't feel like you miss out if gold price suddenly takes off (eliminate fear), but also small enough (eliminate greed) so that if it goes south, you're not troubled or your capital doesn't get hit too hard.

Of course, this all depends on your risk management and appetite for risk.

And when the direction becomes clear to you, and up is clearly where gold is going, then start adding to your longs.

This is probably your best and safest strategy right now.

My two cents buddy.

P.S I've grown my account pretty substantially over the past few months in AUD/USD with this same strategy. And if I were trading gold right now, this is what I would do.
