MARKET:People/Power/Pressure


GOLD has broken its major sup of $1500/1522 area, made a low of $1476 in GLOBEX late electronic trading and silver too broken its major sup of $26/26.3 area and made a low of $25.725 in late electronic trading. Chart got damaged and technical picture turns negative.
A negative spiral can expect for midterm.  Next sup level is coming at $1436 (Comex gold futures generic and spot gold), which is Fib 38% retracement level from 2008 low to 2012 high and even MA 200 week, another sup is @ $1418/22. So this sup area we can watch whereas strong res $1530 and 1550.
next imp sup area is coming $1288-$1302.
But won’t be surprise if we see a bear trap to form nearby.

Friday, 12th April ’13 gold pressured by Mr. Draghi comment reg Cyprus gold reserve sale whereas EU finance ministers extend Irish, Portuguese loan repayments 7 more years, easing the burden on their economy and approves Cyprus bailout. on Wednesday there was market talk of Cyprus gold sell but on Thursday Cyprus finance minister ignored any discussion reg this.

This was a panic selling as it did so many times in recent past, this time fear is, if the pressure comes on  other indebted EU countries which may on Cyprus and all come to sale their gold reserve. Gold and silver too slips by hitting huge sell stops.

We all can remember some Famous names suggesting to sell gold as b’coz its useless (in their opinion) and to buy stocks its to move new area, somehow they able to make themselves right supported by less participants and volume irrespective the reason on the ground as its still gloomy for US, very poor for EU, China with much doubt, India is also not well including some other countries.

On this day although all other indices globally was down but US indices covered their day loss and closed near to flat (irrespective of US retail sales and  consumer sentiment  was disappointed) , may pressure to liquidate commodities position to meet up their margin.

US Fed divided for continuing or end QE program and when. Whenever comment is coming off an end sooner than later, pressure is coming on precious, but is it not due to QE, equity was gained much irrespective of econ condition?
In last speech Fed Mr. Bernanke didn’t hint an end sooner.

 What about the other countries? Its ongoing and in Japan its unlimited now.

* Soaring inventory or base metal indicates less demand which mainly for industrial use.
*China importing huge quantity of gold recently it was 72 Mt, and from nov’12 to feb’13 it is 272tons in just four months (data source Kitco).
*Globally most of the central banks increasing their holding to protect their currency and all in a currency war.

GOLD is really precious as because of its nature and human psychology and culture, its always against any type of risk as inflation or deflation, economical or geopolitical even against fiat currency with has industrial demand too. Silver too categorically same in nature with wide industrial use.

CROSSROAD (?)

USD boosted against majors even after spending cut.

DOW and S&P covered sharply from low on Friday and settled near the day high and specially DOW spot at 14089.66, just few point lower of all time high settlement of 14093.08.
Possibly we can see some interesting movement in coming days as major indices, precious and currencies are in crossroad.

GOLD & SILVER:

GOLD was facing selling pressure before last week, slips to $1554.6, and settled at $1575.7 near 2012 lowest close of $1564.5. It is below the secondary bearish channel but for last two weeks it was holding sideways, holding above a critical and major sup area of $1500-$1522.

Open interest reduced last week.

SILVER movement alike gold, here within a secondary bearish channel and on week formed a dozi at  channel sup, although taken out a long trend line sup @30$ area but holding above  strong sup area holding from 2011 is 26$, which is 50% retracement of 1995-2001 low and 2011 high which was a retest of record high.
Seems a half round above $26 has done on weekly settlement basis, to watch if can complete.
Any convincing breakout of critical and major sup areas for gold below $1500/1530 and silver $26, can be damaging for midterm.

ECB, BoE , BoJ rate decisions, China reports and US unemployment rate, nonfarm including some other economical report will bring volatility and direction next week after US declares of spending cut.



Major indices DOW and S&P on record high area while gold and silver holding on major sup for retracement hits all time high. 

(chart 3: long term chart on DOW spot vs gold spot and S&P spot vs gold spot)




Growth, risk, investment and hedge. Currency, Commodity, Indices(equity) .....  choice is ones own. 

(chart 4: gold spot and DOW spot vs USD index)



NB: market is typically volatile, but market do the logical only. foreseeing the unforseen realy need to maintain stop always as it carries risk.

heading where:

HAPPY REPUBLIC DAY


Market after FOMC:

As per my last thought posted here its going fine till now. USDINR about to reach final target for now.

Cude oil:  yet to make a leap rather retested the support of $77.50/70 area and now seems getting ready for a very near term breakout above $101.50 area(settlement to watch) and again res of $103.8/104 will be the challenged to breached for a shoot up for possible target towards $115 (marked as*) followed by a mild res $104.80/105.20 and $108, $111.

Spread option is still looking fine . its within 12.3 to 10 till now.    
SPREAD OPTION: BUY $SWEET, SELL $BRENT

DOW(spot): 2011 high is now  facing the challenge.

GOLD: this move was due and given a solid breakout last night and pointing towards $1765, $1800, $1834/40. staying above and steadyness will challenge the record high.

SILVER: it was outshining gold for last few days. now to face res $33.70 and $35.50. breakout area as per continuation basis and spot basis is comming $36.50.

COPPER: Dr is supported abov $3.75, res $4.02, $4.20 and a range can consider within $3.75 to $4.20.

** market is risk, volatility making it riskier.

MARKET: DONE/OVERDONE, MATCH/MISMATCH

          MARKET:   DONE/OVERDONE,   MATCH/MISMATCH

The movement, mainly of indices seems a relief rally with support of euro zone debt deal.
Think better to wait n watch to get the direction from market for directional trade. Level based and intraday trade preferable.
