Peak Theories' Short-Term Views On Gold

Tyler Durden's picture




 

Abigail Doolittle, of Peak Theories Research, shares her latest updated short-term outlook on the price of gold. Doolittle's conclusion: "Caution is advised around gold in the near- to intermediate-term due to this potential near- to intermediate-term reversal. In the long-term, however, gold’s primary and bullish uptrend appears to remain very much in place." Of course, for those who day trade gold, the broken upward channel we pointed out some time ago was the indicator to watch in taking profits. For everyone else, who believes that the past two weeks' weakness is merely a blip in an otherwise relentless march by the world's central banks to reflate their problems through currency printing and devaluation, the long-term outlook is certainly far more important.

In summary:

  • With gold below $1,353 per ounce, it appears to have begun a nascent trend of lower highs and lower lows or the topping process that I’ve been writing about.
  • This suggests that gold may continue to move down and especially with gold slightly below its 100 DMA of about $1,347 per ounce.
  • In turn, this may suggest that gold will fulfill its small Bear Flag with a target of about $1,330 per ounce and even the Diamond Top pattern with a target of about $1,284 per ounce.
  • If gold hits that target of $1,284 per ounce, there is a good chance gold will retrace the entire ascent leading to the Diamond Top or decline to about $1,155 per ounce.
  • Such a decline would be consistent with a pull down to gold’s long-term trendline which, ironically, will strengthen this long-term uptrend.
  • Caution is advised around gold in the near- to intermediate-term due to this potential near- to intermediate-term reversal.
  • In the long-term, however, gold’s primary and bullish uptrend appears to remain very much in place.

Ask youself, "Why is gold going down every day now with all the QE money pouring in?"

Thu, 01/20/2011 - 13:17 | 890313 Sean7k
Sean7k's picture

Because all the QE money is going to banks and banks abhor gold. The divergence in physical and paper is growing and specie is being off shored to China and India as well as bought by investors- which is why the price continues to rebound. 

Ask yourself, what happens when the morgue runs out of paper? What happens when the comex goes into total backwardation? What happens when gold is not available at any price? Or go ask the people of Zimbabwe- they can tell you exactly how it happened.

Fast forward.. 5 to 10 years from now.

Gold and silver still have value, any value.

All paper assets will have been obliterated. Simple as that.

Sure the paper will have gone full cycle and be replaced with something new but that new whatever it may be is not what most people will have access to because in the interim their paper holdings of old will get exchanged for fractions on the new but gold and silver will maintain their original value.

That's how its done during a currency reform and debt restructuring.

The Dollar is based on debt. The debt cannot be repaid. Therefore the promise to pay becomes more like a maybe and we'll see how much sort of thing. Repayment in full is impossible, even the debt service in full is impossible.

Give me more gold at $1300 and $1200 and $1100 .. silver at $25, $23, $20 and $17 .. haha I know I'm dreaming. But hey I still have as much paper to convert as the next guy. Hopefully the next guy doesn't realize that the paper is going to ZERO.

Do you think that in, say, 1930, a lot of people sat around and wondered if the U.S. economic, political, and social systems were going to collapse?  I wonder if perhaps we are not overstating the TEOTWAWKI effects of all of this.  The vast majority of investment experts appear to believe that we are in a business-as-usual mode that faces serious problems--but problems that can be resolved within the current system.  What makes us think that they are wrong?  I guess the "this time it's different" argument can work, but is it really that different?  Is this just not another phase in the long road of the "American Economy" and its transition to a "Global Economy"?  Does there have to be total collapse, worthless dollars, $5000 gold, and survivalists being the only ones to escape being cannabalized by urban zombies?  Or am I blinded by my normalcy bias?

Resources are not infinitely available on the planet.

This will become ever more clear especially with the global economy aspect.

Money and money product are ficticious products of central bankers.

Rubber meets road.

I refuse to sell my PMs for a manipulated "spot" price based on a diluted and ficticious paper currency. Same for food and vegetables that I grow on my farm.

1 oz silver buys your vegetables to feed the family for a week / today, tomorrow, next year, next decade.

I believe this won't change the physical demand by much. Gold/Silver bugs know this is the classic shakeout and will keep their physical holdings until the monetary system is one day restored. If anything this presents a buying opportunity for those that have been waiting on the sidelines.

When is Eric King going to interview the Cash4Gold housewives who outwitted the "experts" such as:

- Alf

- Martin Armstrong

- General Jim

and sold out their stash at or near the highs????

And completely sidestepped this correction??

That would make a good interview...

Bahahaa! Dude you are shameless!  Gold would have to drop another 30% for those fools to have "outwitted" anyone.  Testimonial:   "I went in expecting to get maybe $200 for my bracelet and I got much more than that!! "   Yeah, you did lady, and you won't walk right for a few days either.

Gold trolls will say literally anything to convince others and themselves that they are right.  Even saying something stupid, like people selling at a 60% discount to spot are smarter than people who rode the bull all the way up, and didn't bail out at every minor correction.  Whenever there is a correction, they are "wrong".  All this while Robo and assorted shitheads make calls that lead to their repeated bankruptcies, or would, if they had a half an ounce of conviction.

None of these guys are short gold, because they don't have a single testicle between them.

Bob Hoye and Ross Clark say about 1290-1328 is where you may see a bottom on gold for the moment.
Silver is more volatile, and may hit a low of 24-25
Look for an RSI of sub 50 in gold or a hit on the lower bottom bollinger as a bounce point.
If this is the big ride down on everything, then even lower though gold and silver will recover on the early side by months.Their target is 2155 gold.
Also, rightly mentioned on the board, options expirations is typically an excuse for a flood of paper to hose the longs and keep JP out of force majeure.
And also, as psrt of a stronger yuan, china has been rumored to have an agreement on gold exchanges and they need a cheap entry point

"Gentlemen, I have had men watching you for a long time and I am convinced that you have used the funds of the bank to speculate in the breadstuffs of the country. When you won, you divided the profits amongst you, and when you lost, you charged it to the bank. You tell me that if I take the deposits from the bank and annul its charter I shall ruin ten thousand families. That may be true, gentlemen, but that is your sin! Should I let you go on you will ruin fifty thousand families, and that would be my sin! You are a den of vipers and thieves.

I agree, many of us like to buy and hold silver.  Since I buy every month, it looks like my acquisition costs will be lower for a while.

 

Yes, my holdings took a beating this week, but I won't be selling, and I hope the paper banksters get that message.
