Elliott Wave Counts For Gold, SP500 And GDX

Gold 

Short-Term Update

Gold price was sharply higher in the overnight session, reaching a high of 1218.80 at the time that this Post was being written!

There appears to be no end in sight to our current wave *i* rally.    

Currently on the Intraday Chart the rallies in gold look impulsive and the setbacks corrective which suggest higher prices are still ahead.

So far the first impulsive sequence does NOT look complete at the 1218.80 high, but we need to be on guard for end of wave *i* soon, unless it extends.

As you can see on the Daily Gold Chart we have shown graphically what the current rally in gold looks like as we are still just working on wave *i* of .i. of -iii-.  A run to resistance at the 1244.00 level seems a likely place for wave *i* to end.

Our first and second projections for the end of wave -iii- is:

-iii-=1.618-i-=1661.80;

-iii-=2.618-i-=1993.70.

Our current count for all of wave -iii- is:

.i.:

*i* = 1218.80, if complete;

*ii* correction is next, after wave *i* ends.

When wave *i* ends we should expect wave *ii* to retrace between 50 to 61.8% of the entire wave *i* rally.

Longer-Term Update

Gold looks to have completed its wave -ii- correction, at the 1124.30 low. We have updated the Weekly Gold Chart showing our projections for the end of wave -iii-.  

Active Trading Positions: Long 30 positions, with puts at 1250.00!

S&P500 

Short-Term Update

The S&P Futures are down about 9 points in the overnight session, at the time that this Post was being written.

The S&P is now within a whisper of our projected end of for all of wave -iii- which is 2285.92, so we need to be on guard for end of the -iii- and the start of significant drop in wave -iv-.

The final top in the S&P is still likely to occur early in 2017.

Long-Term Update

Wave (v) has become a diagonal triangle. We could now be complete all of wave .c. of -iii- at the 2282.10 high. Upon completion of wave -iii-, we expect a wave -iv- drop followed by a wave -v- rally.

Active Trading Positions: Short with 2280 calls as stops!

GDX

Short-Term Update

We expect the GDX will be sharply higher as with gold, as gold continues to rally in wave *i*. We will start labelling the internal wave structure of wave 3 after our first impulsive sequence ends.

The wave 3 rally in the GDX will likely follow the same graphically picture that we have shown on the Daily Gold Chart. Our first and second projection for end of wave 3 is:

3=1.618(1)=49.95;

3=2.618(1)=68.98

As with gold and silver this wave 3 impulsive sequence will consist of 5 subdivisions.  

Long-Term Update

In the GDX, we now believe that all of wave 1 ended at 31.79 and that wave 2 at the 18.68 low also.  A sharp wave 3 rally is now underway.

Active Trading Positions: We are long the GDX, ABX, KGC, NEM, CRJ and TSX:XGD with no stops!
