XULF Report – 3/7

Expecting a continuation?

XULF Report

Gold’s bounce has either ran out of steam or is pausing for breath reaching a high of $1267 yesterday and has since retreated due to some profit taking. Gold bulls will be trimming down positions ahead of the ADP Non-Farms today and the all-encompassing Non-Farms on Friday as the market majority are expecting a continuation of the positive data last week. Since gold’s drop to $1179 last week we have seen a shift in market dynamics as miners cut back on production and an increase in demand in the physical market has sparked a substantial bear market rally. Barricks, the largest gold miner, has now announced it is delaying the opening of its Pascua-Lama mine till 2016 one of the reasons being the drop in gold prices therefore supply squeezes like this should offer gold a bottom support.

Yesterday price did manage to penetrate the $1261 level but the breakout only produced a mere $6 profit and the bears claimed control at $1267 before price found resistance at the Ichimoku clouds. Right now it is difficult to predict the next move on a short term basis because it is dependent on whether we are in a pullback of a rally that began last Friday or that the next leg of the long term bearish trend is assuming itself. Therefore exercise patience and wait for a pattern or strong trendline to emerge before taking a risk. In summary this 4 hour chart is manifesting some profit taking, indecision and cautiousness ahead of the Non-Farm numbers. Often during such market conditions triangle patterns can appear so keep a close eye on any developments.

Some factors for traders to be aware of at present are; the USD/JPY has crossed up above the 100 level again which isn’t good news for gold but if the bulls really do believe this market is oversold then they can overcome dollar strength because, although it may come as a surprise, the dollar accounts for approximately 15% of gold fluctuations meaning both markets can actually move in the same direction. China are currently fighting off the dark cloud of a credit crunch which could have opposing effects on gold subject to the amount of uncertainty it generates. Spain and Italy submit their services industry PMI at 08:15 and 08:45 GMT today which could give investors evidence to add to Monday’s data that there is a bottom in sight for the Eurozone’s economy. At 13:15 the US reveal the private Non-Farms which, as always, will act as a precursor to the US Labour Departments payroll number on Friday.

Gold has taken a hammering in the last 36 hours – 21/06 XULF Report

XULF Report

Gold has taken a hammering in the last 36 hours as Federal Reserve Chief Ben Bernanke implied that if the current trend of economic progress continues the exit of stimulus will begin. Although the language used was very similar to previous statements highlighting that any slowdown is data dependent and that the Fed are not comfortable enough at present to give specific timelines which makes the battering of gold seem a little overdone. Maybe that’s why gold has surged $20 to around $1290 this morning after making a low of $1269.50.

Technically the daily chart looks oversold according to the RSI, Stochastics and the Bollinger Bands any potential bulls need to wait 24 hours after such a decline to make sure the market has stabilized on lower volatility. If today prints a mildly bullish reversal candlestick look for long opportunities on Monday and by then the aforementioned indicators will have triggered the buy signals. Be aware that this strategy is risky because it entails going against the trend and the overall bearish trend could resume itself at anytime. Therefore take profits when a bearish candlestick prints or target the 38.2% Fib retracement level at $1314. The main event today is Bank of Japan’s Governor Kuroda who is talking at a press conference at 7:45 GMT and his aim will be to reinstall confidence into the Japanese stock market by reinforcing the intent on weakening the yen and achieving 2% inflation therefore USD/JPY could have a surge and be back on track to its long term bullish trend dating back to November and this will give more power to the bears. Taking into account the fragility of gold, the oversold levels and Kuroda speaking today make sure you trade extra careful with both long and shorts because there could be sizeable moves.

XULF Report 18/06 - Markets are awaiting for Bernanke's comments at the FOMC press conference

XULF Report

Another quiet and range bound period is expected today as the markets wait for Bernanke’s comments at the FOMC press conference on Wednesday scheduled 19:00 GMT. Taking into account the mixed bag of data and the unspectacular May Non-Farms Bernanke is likely to reiterate stimulus reduction is data dependant therefore gold looks like it could be stuck in the $1375 to $1390 range for some time to come. There could be some volatility beforehand if the US housing data tonight shows further improvement in new builds which could cause a spike in equities and suppress gold but it does feel like gold needs a significant shift in the fundamental outlook in order for the bears to gain control over the bulls.

Keep looking to sell at resistance and buy at support levels displayed by shooting stars and hammers and/or two or more touches of a certain price level as this is the best way to capture a few dollars of profit before we see the big next move. It is worth noting the bullish trendline that is visible on the 1 hour chart coloured green. As I write price is sitting on the trendline making its fourth touch so there could be an opportunity to achieve a short term profit via a bounce or break. The red horizontal line displays shorter term resistance at $1385 that has received 3 touches so far today so again look for bounce or breaks at this level.

Taking a longer term view from a technical perspective remember the two side by side shooting stars on the weekly chart which has now been followed by a bullish hammer. The shadows on the shooting stars are longer than the hammers shadow meaning the bears still have the upper hand so look for good entry levels to short if you don’t mind taking on the risk and volatility that will occur on Wednesday. Sometimes candlesticks do not have immediate effects but can influence price at a later date.

Jalatama Loco London (XULF) Report 13/06/2013

XULF Report
Gold staged an impressive recovery yesterday reaching a high of $1394.64 attributed to a falling US Dollar against the Japanese Yen and the Euro. Due to the rapid gains of USD/JPY this year we are seeing a strong correction which has prevented gold from declining at the rate we witnessed in April and stabilize somewhat. Although the dollar should eventually begin to resume its bull trend as the Fed starts to wind down stimulus and more money flows from emerging markets into US Treasuries as investors seek out the right balance of safety and returns. The main news today will be the US Retail Sales and Jobless Claims 13:30 GMT although given the lack of trend in the Retail Sales this number is unlikely to cause any great shakes.

Taking a technical perspective to predict gold’s movement in the short term is rather difficult due to the volatility, mainly ascribed to the USD/JPY, which has resulted in any trend having a very short lifespan. Stimulus tapering, slowing Chinese growth and a substantial USD/JPY correction are having conflicting effects on gold meaning its lacking any assertive direction. One thing worth pointing out is the price convergence on the daily chart that illustrates the opposing forces via a triangle pattern. Since April’s fall the trading range for gold is becoming increasingly tighter manifested by the triangle and a breakout could dictate the direction for the following weeks or even months. A push up towards $1420 again would break gold out of the triangle and generate momentum for surpassing the $1423.90 high achieved 6th June. A drop below $1345 would mean the bears have the upper hand and have the confidence to break down support of $1321 which was the low of the year.

Jalatama Loco London (XULF) Weekly Report 10 – 14 June 2013

Weekly XULF Report 10 – 14 June 2013

Gold was having a steady performance last week until a better than expected US Non-Farms on Friday gave good reason for investors to ditch safe havens for riskier assets causing gold to erase all of its gains on Thursday to reach a two week low of $1378.80. For much of the week gold was hovering around the $1400 level until ECB President Mario Draghi’s comments triggered a spike to $1421 after he informed the markets that the economy should stabilize and recover during the course of the year and that further monetary stimulus was not at the forefront of policymakers’ minds. Investors bought the Euro and aggressively sold the dollar on the back of these comments. Gold’s gains were eradicated 24 hours later when the US Non-Farm data showed that despite the mixed set of data recently the US economy is creating more jobs raising the probability of stimulus tapering occurring before the latter parts of the year.

The biggest drag on gold at present is the anticipation of the Federal Reserve slowing down the bond purchases which will strengthen the dollar making gold more expensive for investors using other currencies. Contrary to popular opinion gold may hold its ground and be tough for the bears to control for the rest of the year. Gold has already priced in a significant chunk of this expectation by declining nearly 20% this year therefore it would be foolhardy to take further declines for granted when the Fed begins the slowdown. If the Fed cuts back too sharply we could see a strong equity correction and some losses for gold but as investors take a look at the bigger picture they may switch to safe haven assets amid the uncertainty generated by the removal of stimulus on such an unprecedented scale. In the other scenario if the Fed play it in a way that appeases investors this should result in lower volatility for both gold and equities which would regenerate some confidence in gold and be supportive for a good finish by the end of 2013.

Technically gold has been showing signs of a possible bounce back towards the long term bearish trendline over the past three weeks but last Friday’s drop means the weekly chart is now displaying two consecutive shooting stars. The 10, 20, 50 and 100 Moving Averages aligned in descending order illustrates the market is far away from any correction but the higher low on the RSI indicates the pace of the decline is diminishing. Bulls will have been watching for a break of the bearish trendline on the momentum indicator but unfortunately for them Friday’s performance looks as though the momentum indicator is now bouncing off its own trendline ready for another downward leg. So to summarise the outlook for gold it looks like there will be a descent during June but at a slowing rate. Although traders need to be mindful of gold’s resilience of late in face of bearish fundamentals which hints that the market may be ready for a correction towards the long term bearish trendline within the next few weeks.

We have an eventful week with various types of data scheduled including Japan’s monetary statement and press conference Tuesday which is likely to move USD/JPY. On Wednesday and Thursday Germany are concluding a constitutional ruling on the ECB’s monetary operations which will impact gold by moving the EUR/USD, Thursday reveals US Retail Sales for May and on Friday is the University of Michigan’s Consumer Sentiment survey. Trade carefully around these numbers by using stop losses or reducing exposure.

XULF Report

Gold bulls need to thank ECB President Mario Draghi and a break of a USD/JPY technical support level for the rally last night that reached a high of $1423.90. The ECB President stated further monetary easing was not at the forefront of policymakers’ minds which lifted the Euro and caused broad scale selling of the dollar. Technical USD/JPY support at 98.85 gave way to dollar bears helping to build strong downward momentum and consequentially pushing gold higher firmly back above $1400. Be aware the dollar decline may be a correction and considering the Fed is ready to taper stimulus and Japan are in the beginning phases of a new stimulus programme USD/JPY could recover rather quickly and hold back gold from making its overdue technical correction.

If price can move a couple dollars lower and complete the neckline at $1411.20 of a double top shown here on the 1 hour chart the short term is bearish and a feasible target is $1406 which is the 61.8% fib retracement level. Place a stop loss above the lower high at $1418 as a violation of this level will indicate more upward movement. Only look to short if this neckline is completed however the parabolic indicator is signalling a sell meaning it is probably the neckline will be achieved.

In an attempt of trying to assess where gold will move over the long term the weekly chart is providing some good information. The momentum indicator is currently at a critical point as it intersects with its bearish trendline. If we see a trendline break on this indicator it will be good for gold bulls as we should see a sustained correction. If this does occur long term position traders should target $1488 as a target level that could be possibly achieved in the next few weeks.
