The Tricky World of Trading Gold

[Trading With Larry Benedict]( The Tricky World of Trading Gold By Larry Benedict, editor, Trading With Larry Benedict The past year has been a tough and confusing time for gold investors. After a promising start to 2022, gold stocks rolled over and headed down. From its April 2022 high to its November low, gold giant Barrick Gold (GOLD) took a massive hit. It lost 50% of its value. Then GOLD rallied into the start of 2023 before reversing again in early February. This time, GOLD dropped 24%. Then it rose again from March into April. However, recently GOLD has come under pressure. So today we’ll check out what’s coming next… Recommended Link [Sell Every Stock Except ONE (ticker revealed)]( [image]( Jeff Clark predicted the crashes of 2008, 2020, & 2022 – helping his readers dodge huge losses.

The GOLD stock price and Relative Strength Index (RSI) headed in different directions, as shown by the diverging orange lines at ‘A’… Barrick Gold (GOLD) [Image] Source: eSignal When momentum is declining, eventually that will drag the stock price lower too. There is not enough buyer demand to keep propelling the stock higher. GOLD’s big downtrend from April developed along two other bearish signals… - The RSI broke into the lower half of its band (below the green line) and stayed there. - The 10-day moving average (MA, red line) crossed below the longer-term 50-day MA (blue line), with both MAs then tracking down. However, after bottoming out in November, these bearish signals flipped back the other way. This time, the RSI broke back into its upper range and the 10-day MA crossed back above the 50-day MA. That saw GOLD rally into the start of 2023. From there, the ‘A’ pattern repeated and saw GOLD top out and reverse in early February at ‘B.’ Take another look at the chart… Barrick Gold (GOLD) [Image] Source: eSignal I write about these reversal patterns (both diverging and converging) a lot. But there’s a simple reason for that… As this chart shows, identifying a reversal can save us from buying a stock just before it rolls over – like at ‘B.’ And similarly, it helps us avoid shorting a stock (or buying a put option) just as a stock price bounces – like at ‘C.’ Now, what we’re trying to identify is whether this reversal pattern will repeat again at ‘D.’ So, what can we expect from here?

Don’t Preempt a Move The RSI (lower orange line) has started trending down at ‘D.’ This is what saw GOLD top out at its recent short-term high on April 13 at $20.28. However, if we compare the emerging reversal at ‘D’ to ‘B’ and ‘A,’ you’ll notice some differences... In previous reversals, the down move gained traction when the RSI fell into the lower part of its range. Those moves were then confirmed by the 10-day MA crossing below the 50-day MA. As of now, neither of these bearish signals have locked in yet. So we need to be careful about getting in too soon with any short position. Because if the RSI bounces off support (green line)… that could set GOLD up for another move higher. Regards, Larry Benedict Editor, Trading With Larry Benedict P.S.
