Is That the Oil Bulls’ Fate That’s Hanging in the Balance?
May 1, 2019, 7:45 AM

Mayday: The Gold Juggernaut Is Seriously Taking On Water
April 17, 2019, 9:10 AM
Last April, while discussing the boomerang question about the trigger that is needed for gold to decline, we emphasized that gold can decline on… absolutely nothing. It’s imperative to keep watching the signs and determine when the market is really ready to move. There’s a lot of calculations, trading techniques etc. behind all that, but it does all really come down to it. Now, there are many definitions of “nothing”, but surprisingly none of them mentions “0.09 move in the USD Index”. That’s something that should to be updated and we’re waiting for the Merriam-Webster editors’ reply to our request. Seriously though, USD’s meager rally was really next to nothing and both: gold and gold stocks declined and broke below their support lines nonetheless, just like we’ve been expecting them to. And that happened shortly after they both failed to rally substantially on the Fed’s dovish shocker. Before gold declined a few days ago, we wrote that the easy part of the rally was over, and that it might be a good idea to close all the remaining long positions. The good news is that the easy part of the decline has just begun.
