Recap of Last Week
Last week's action saw the gold market forming its low in Tuesday's session, here doing so with the tag of the 1804.70 figure. From there, a decent rally back to higher highs for the move was seen into later in the week, here pushing all the way up to a Thursday high of 1848.50 - before backing off the same into Friday.
Gold's Short-Term View
As mentioned in recent articles, the last short-term bottom was expected to come from our 20-day cycle component, which is shown again on the chart below:
In terms of patterns, due to the configuration of the larger 72-day cycle (more on this in a bit), the probabilities favored each of the recent short-term pullbacks to end up as countertrend affairs - giving way to higher highs for the swing.
In terms of price, the minimum expectation called for a rally back above the 1833.00 swing top, though with the upper 20-day cycle band acting as a more ideal magnet. This assumption was easily met with...
Investors fell into a shopping frenzy as tensions increased between Russia and Ukraine. Was the purchase of precious metals as safe haven justified this time?
Presumably, the rally of gold based on shocking news will not be significant and may end soon. Its continuation could only be triggered by genuine military action. However, I question its probability.
In yesterday’s intraday Gold & Silver Trading Alert, I wrote the following:
Gold, silver, and mining stocks moved to new yearly highs in today’s trading, without any other major moves in the markets. So far, the session is only halfway completed, so quite a lot can still change. If we saw a decline in the second half of the session, the day would become a reversal, and it would be bearish. If we see the daily close in the GDX ETF at the current price levels, then… It will still not be bullish at this time (!).
Huge daily rallies on big volume (and it’s likely that today’s volume will prove to be big) in mining stocks (GDX) are what tends to take place at the end of a given short-term upswing or close to it. For example, we saw that on Nov. 10, 2021, Aug. 27, 2021, Jul. 29, 2021, and May 17, 2021.
Also, please note that zig-zag patterns are quite common form that corrections...

Gold Price Forecast FAQ
How do you forecast the price of gold?
Predicting gold prices can be said to be both a science and an art. For example, analysis of gold supply and demand is scientific and completely objective whereas aspects of technical and sentiment analysis of the current gold market can be more of an art as it relies on the skills and perspective of the gold analyst.
Generally speaking, when the focus of the gold forecast is longer term then analysis of the fundamentals, ie scientific analysis, comes to the fore.
For shorter-term predictions of gold prices, the price of gold in the coming weeks and perhaps few months, technical analysis of past and current gold prices, market trends, as well as current market sentiment can be more actionable predictors. Here, the fundamentals can still play a role but generally serve more as background details.
What are the key factors for long term gold forecasts?
When forecasting what may happen to the price of gold longer term, there are many things to consider including economic trends, the impact of current and expected monetary policy, QE, debt monetization, and the aggregate impact on future currency valuation.
Does the price of gold go up when the stock market goes down?
The price of gold is often negatively correlated to the stock markets. When the markets go down, gold prices usually go up. However, this is not always true. Sometimes the price of gold and stocks both go up and down in unison. Fundamental factors play an important role and need to be carefully analyzed. Historically, however, the price of gold is not tied to the fluctuations of stock and bonds. This is one of the chief reasons when one should have gold in their portfolio – to protect the long-term value of your investments.
Does the value of the US dollar predict the price of gold?
As gold is traditionally quoted in US dollars, the price of gold is negatively correlated to the strength of the USD. The weaker the US dollar, the cheaper it is to purchase gold. Therefore, if economic factors predict a strengthening of the US dollar then this will tend to drop the price of gold, and vice-versa. According to the statistics (since 1973), the long-term correlation between the U.S. dollar index and the gold prices is -0.6 so this link is quite strong.
How do US interest rates impact future gold prices?
The level of US interest rates is an important driver of future gold prices. When investing in gold, the investor is faced with the opportunity cost of gold - a non-interest bearing asset. The higher the US interest rate for holding US dollars or investing in Treasuries, the higher the opportunity cost of holding gold. It is more likely, therefore, that a rally in the price of gold will be forecasted the lower the US benchmark interest rate.
