Gold Price Exclusive Update Shows Sector Cycle Continues Trending Down

Technical Analyst & Editor
October 19, 2019

Our proprietary cycle indicator is down.

To public readers of our updates, our cycle indicator is one of the most effective timing tool for traders and investors. It is not perfect, because periodically the market can be more volatile and can result in short term whipsaws. But overall, the cycle indicator provides us with a clear direction how we should be speculating.

Investors

During a major buy signal, investors can accumulate positions by cost averaging at cycle bottoms, ideally when prices are at or near the daily 200ema.

During a major sell signal, investors should be hedged or in cash.

Traders

Simply cost average in at cycle bottoms when prices are at or near the daily 200ema; and cost average out at cycle tops when prices are above the daily 50ema.

Gold sector is on major buy signal.

GLD is on short-term sell signal.

GDX is on short-term sell signal.

XGD.to is on short-term sell signal.

GDXJ is on short-term sell signal.

Analysis

Speculative liquidation continues.

Short-term volatility can be very sharp, stay focused on the big picture.

Stay focused on the long-term.

$HUI has now traced out a five wave overlapping corrective pattern, with prices testing the lower support successfully this week. Looking for a breakout.

Meanwhile, gold has traced out a three wave which is also corrective.

Last but not least, the silver/gold ratio looks almost identical to the one in 2016.

Summary

Long-term – on major buy signal.

Short-term – on sell signals, but can change soon.

Gold sector cycle is down, a multi week consolidation/correction is in progress but should be ending.

We have taken partial profits and are holding a core position for the long term, and will become fully invested upon the cycle turning up.
