The Definitive Opinion On Gold Today
“Oyyyyyy.”
I can’t remember the last non-Holiday trading day that had a
smaller daily range. The algorithm had no signals today so we didn’t trade. In
short, it was one of the worst trading days [in terms of action and range] I
have seen in a long, long time. In the overnight Asian and European sessions
there were times I thought the trading platform was down; forget even getting
outside the bid and offer, there were minutes the quote never changed.
When the U.S.
session got underway around 7:20 A.M. Chicago
time, there was a little flurry of trade that lifted prices a couple of bucks,
but that was it. A dealer induced smack down of price a few minutes later put a
chill on the market.
Bulls tried again an hour later but got the same result.
There isn’t anything I can do when gold has an $8 range for
the day, except maybe lose money. You can’t trade and expect this kind of range
to hold; take 1,000 trading days and maybe 2 are like this. Obviously, the
algorithm gave no signals in gold today and rightly so; this was a mess. And
lest you think some other market provided any opportunity, guess again; EURJPY
and AUDUSD had tight ranges as well.
Just chalk it up to one of those Friday’s when nobody really
cared.
Below are the daily cycle charts. [Daily charts at 1:30 P.M.
Chicago time]
XAUUSD
I didn’t fill in the colored box because we don’t know yet
what the final outcome of the count is going to be. Either today was day 6 in a
down cycle [maybe 8 days] or the down cycle ended yesterday [Thursday] and this
was day 2 in an up cycle [maybe 3 or 5 days]. In any event, we will need to see
what happens next week in order to get the correct count.
EURJPY
It looks like today was day 8 in an up cycle. I put the
white box in, but if we get a rally on Monday, I’ll redo the box.
AUDUSD
Here, like EURJPY, it looks as though AUD has finished an 8
day up cycle. I put the box in, but we’ll have to wait and see what happens next
week.
Have a good weekend everyone.
