Gold Price - Where is it heading?

Jump to new
Hi explod, This is about the post I splashed up, and the $5000 target, with no real analysis. Why is it now about you? If you can justify a $5000 target, great! Would help my LGL and NCM quite a bit. I'll go off now to study up about inflation. Cheers, kennas.
 

Hi Barrett,

Until the beginning of this week I was a WP supporter and had thought Gold would give us a descent retrace, probably not as much as WP, but a 61.8% retrace to 790-800 ,back in Aug 07, the start of the 1st leg. (original chart below, that I was working on before this weeks move. see the diff in wave count)

Which would have made logical sense because of the bullish pennant that was formed at the end of 07. But my view has changed this week because of the little run up we had in Wave C.

Now, if this is a Contracting Triangle (different setup to the wedge), it is going to be a pretty good leg up, although I would have preferred the Minor ABC correction to play out and to confirm the MAJOR 3 wave.

My view will turn bearish again though if 840 is breached.

Just my view.

SGB

I apologise as I did not mean to get to this point with you Kennas. I respect and regard you as a valuable mentor.

To be fair, IMHO (and conceed I am not too humble sometimes) Schroder in his article outlines, including inflation, other matters supporting his contention. Without pasting the article, we are talking supply getting tight, size of gold market over derivatives (its' space frame, if you can get your head, and it's hard, around those numbers which look like imploding soon) and others facits. Probably slanted for his own cause of course.

But think it is backed up ok., but am no expert and often wrong.

Cheers and sorry to take matters off topic. explod

ps.

And yes why not $50,000 on a longer term time frame. Probably the specific figure is a problem. But on the multiples of the 1970 bull, $5,000 per ounce is just a bit over the ball park figure to the blow off top.
 

Your views are very welcome around here, whichever direction they point in... good to have you on board.

During the day it looks like gold had a textbook low volume retracement back to the breakout point.. have given up trying to describe the oil chart... but another clue may come from the EURUSD which looks to be putting in a base..

Wacked at the open. Any news? CB selling or something?
 
These sharp downturns in the days prior to fed gatherings have been a recurring theme this year though haven't they?

Just my guess that if the amount of reported speculative holdings in oil, abt 71% according to a US congressman, and given a likely steady fall in the rate of demand for Oil in the US... and by no means least of all, getting consumers, politicans, refiners and producers pissed off over the current price of oil... those speculativce interests are probably getting worried about tightening up regulation of the oil market and getting caught holding expensive contracts as consumer rebellion sets in to kill demand.

The consequence would be a significant drop in inflation forcasts and consequently the POG.

Gonna be interesting how the treasury and the FED see the POO after the weekend summit.
 
Looks like there is plenty of support for killing off the oil speculators.

If Stupaks 50% reduction in fuel costs is anywhere near correct, that must pretty much wipe out oil contributing to inflation for awhile... and put the skids under the POG too probably.

That would be a loose, relatively unregulated electronic market place.

and excuse me, but what exactly is the "enron loophole"? It sounds like another one of those wishy-washy bureaucratic terms meaning nothing.

Enron was a major energy company in the US that became riddled with corruption and fraud and eventually collapsing.

Thankyou.

So according to this guy(Stupak), the "unregulated" market place has caused speculators to incorrectly determine the price of crude?
So his / govt committee perception of fair value is right and everyone else (especially big nasty speculators) is wrong?

P.S. I'm not trying to start a debate here, just want some opinions (on practicality).
 


I can add another probing question ? Because I think it would expose the perceptions for what they are .

What are these speculators fixated on ?

Haha it's another classic rapid selloff when the NYMEX starts. Remember I talked about it previously? (manipulation claims) But I now have some doubts about the manipulation, so let's not get back to it now.

It's scary and a shame that I actually THOUGHT about the possibility of this rapid drop first thing in the New York morning. Cos the pattern seem to repeat itself so often that one can almost develop a system based on this! (ok, I haven't got to it yet...)

There is really no significant fundamental-related news for the sell off. Oil was higher overnight and US dollars hardly moved.

I'm just patiently waiting for the weekly signal and for the cycle to resume its trend sometime in August/Sep, or maybe Oct.

RobinHood - my interpretation of the phrasing used ("We can eliminate a major avenue that traders use to avoid oversight") is that its not about causing traders to have oversight but that there are major avenues that allow traders (i.e. large hedge funds) to avoid regulatory oversight thus enabling them to manipulate markets unchecked.


What I find ironic is that when 'punters' blame gold price falls on government manipulation thats considered paranoid conspiracy theory but when the government blames oil price rises on hedge fund manipulation thats perfectly legit.
