Am I Comfortable In Shorts Here?
/36 Comments/in Premium /by Alex - Chart FreakNov 23 Weekend report (Sunday 5 p.m.)
Someone asked me to let them know when I'm comfortable shorting the Gold/Silver market in the next few days, especially since The $USD Popped Friday. I'm glad you asked! While there always may be some 'short term' success in a short position from day to day... I still believe that it will end badly for stubborn shorts in the next few weeks. If you have been reading my reports for the past 2 weeks then you know what my thinking has been. Not only does it remain the same, but I believe we could get an accelerated move upside after a few minor dips in the coming weeks and I would NOT want to be caught in shorts out in those waters. Let me show you why...
Recall that In this Friday Nov 7th report here - http://www.chartfreak.com/2014/11/07/scary-yet-beautiful/ ( And the following wkend report) I called the GOLD lows Pre-Market.

SO 2 weeks later, with those LOWS still in place, I want you to note this $GOLD / $USD CHART last May 2014 :
Once the GOLD lows were in, In MAY the dollar popped and GOLD resisted.
DID you notice that on Friday this week the $USD popped, and $GOLD went up too?
Notice also on the above chart what Going short on a reversal after the lows lead to pain. Also ...

The Friday Illusion Again?
/51 Comments/in Premium /by Alex - Chart FreakNov 21, 2014 Freaky Friday 6:00A.M.
Will they sell Metals off? Will they buy it back? Will Metals break out higher going into the weekend, when less people are likley to BUY & HOLD ? Its hard to know exactly what we will see, but lately Fridays have been exciting in the Metals markets, so I got up at 5 a.m. today to see if the Friday shenanigans that occurred in Gold the past 2 Fridays would return. So far, it seems likely. Well, if you've read my prior reports, then you know what I am looking for at the end of Friday on the weekly charts, so I will just touch on a few things here and then take a look at a couple of other interesting chart developments elsehwere.
First- this is the "SNAPSHOT" I woke up to... whats your first thought?
It looks like another dollar rally coming , and a Gold slam down, but notice this ....

I TOLD YOU FED MINUTES ARE FUN!

Well, Never a dull moment of a Fed Day, huh? Some have written and asked if "Lock out" is out of the way now. I would say no. It may be even more of a Lock Out I cannot imagine that this "SHAKEOUT" was bought by many either. We had a shake out below that critical $1179 area and it again recovered. Did any buy? I know 2 of my readers wrote that he / she bought (knowing in advance that a shake out could happen). THAT was brave! I imagine that MORE people grabbed DUST, went short , or bailed out. Some wrote and told me that they were advised to add to DUST by other letter writers. Let me show you how I walk through this roller-coaster ride. Overnight...how did GOLD react? Charts below.
