BofA: "Change Your Thinking On Gold" Friday Marked The End Of A 4 Year Decline

Tyler Durden's picture




 

For the week ahead, BofAML's MacNeil Curry is focused on the plight of the USDollar, US Treasuries, and commodities; especially gold and oil. All of these markets, he warns, are showing signs of changes in trend. Most notably, Curry explains, we are switching gears on gold from bearish to bullish, "Friday's gains are just the beginning."

 

Via BofAML's MacNeil Curry,

Gold: Friday's gains are just the beginning

 

Change your thinking on Gold.

Friday's Bullish Reversal / Bullish Engulfing Candle marks the end of a 4yr decline and the beginning of a medium term bull trend.

 

Initial targets are seen to 1241/55 ahead of 1345 and potentially as far as 1433.

Buy dips.

*  *  *

And positioning has shifted to a notable bearish position...

*  *  *

So far no good as gold and silver are giving back Friday's gains...

Gold will not do a rocket launch until the Banksters and other Central Banks get their vaults filled.  Then look out.  In the meantime they will do everything, legally and illegally, to manipulate the price sideways or lower.

Sorry we're about to engulf Friday's engulfing candle all over again, back in the prevailing direction: down.

Machines just took an early weekend on Friday, back to regularly scheduled programming.  As long as the world still accepts the dollar in return for their scarce resources and hard labour, said dollar will be used to tighten the screws on anyone who dares not believe.  And the worst of the unbelievers are the gold bugs.

It was nice while it lasted - barely 24 hours market time, but at least they had the mercy to let us enjoy a weekend believing the beatings were over.

Think you're right. Disclaimer tho: not a chartist, technical analyst, etc, etc, and I have no basis to make a prediction one way or another on anything regarding the price of gold. Disclaimer #2: I'm appearing on CNBC tomorrow as a self researched "expert" on the gold market predicting "it could go up or down from here".

Full disclosure: I am hedged on all my physical gold at around 1230 an ounce, but the miners in my portfolio are getting killed. Fortunately, or unfortunately, they are down so far now that the big daily % losses are small in $$. Almost nothing left.

Ahhh, "paper" or "physical" same price.

I can buy all the physical I want... any day of the week...  at the same price as "paper" less a nominal spread.

Will you spout this same nonsense all the way down to $500 an ounce?  Believing that magically there is a price difference between "paper" and "physical"?

Where can I buy some of this mythical "paper" gold that has no bearing on this mythical "physical" gold?

gotta love how they try to spin shit negatively for the only 2 forms of real money....

(Reuters) - Russia's central bank has been forced to step up its gold buying this year to absorb domestic production that Western sanctions are making it hard for miners to sell abroad, and to boost liquidity in its foreign reserves, sources said.

Most Russian gold mine production is sold to domestic commercial banks, such as Sberbank or VTB, which can then sell the metal on to either the central bank or to foreign banks. This year, sources say, foreign banks are holding off buying Russian gold after Western powers implemented sanctions against the country over the Ukraine crisis.

The central bank has therefore had no choice but take domestic mine production that cannot be sold to foreign banks, two sources said, and has bought most of the metal that commercial banks had available.

"This is one measure that the central bank has taken to go through this difficult period for commercial banks and most importantly to boost liquidity," a source close to the situation said on the sidelines of the London Bullion Market Association annual conference in Peru.

While the sanctions do not expressly prohibit them from buying gold, Western banks are cautious over any business done with their Russian counterparts, sources said. "So, it is likely that we could see a period of stabilization, when the question around sanctions is resolved, as the central bank will stop adding more gold to its reserves," a second source added.

Russia has stepped up its gold buying significantly this year, data from the World Gold Council showed, adding nearly 115 tonnes of gold to its reserves in the year to date, against 77.5 tonnes in the whole of 2013 and 75 tonnes in 2012.

Well we had a breakdown through the 1180 triple bottom, followed by a sharp overnight move through the downside target of 1150, followed by a backtest of the 1180 resistance (formerly support) in a bullish engulfing candle, followed by a retest of support at 1150 in a bearish engulfing candle and blah blah blah fucking blah.

 

Does the BIS still have infinite electronic money and very little real gold?  Do the Swiss need to understand why they shouldn't vote to get their gold back end November?  Are there still 727 tons to pillage in GLD?  Do fiat currencies still require life support?  Carry on...

Gold would have to blast up past $1200 and keep on going before I started considering that the bottom might be in.

The trend is your friend (until it's not) and the trend has been pretty much down since October.

@ $1149 as I type this.

only paper gold buying can blast it to 1200, but most here don't want that - so off to 900 it'll go.

I hope you are correct.

That fits right in with my plan to accumulate at the lowest possible price.

More than happy to sit in cash and follow it down until there is some sign of a reversal.

A calculated risk, but you cannot buy the dips if you don't have the cash on hand to do so.

The long term strategy is pretty simple really... keep stacking and holding, don't over extend, and just keep adding to the position if and when the opportunity presents it's self.

If history is anything to go by, the passage of time should do the rest.  

Hopefully by the time I reach retirement many years from now me and my family will be financially secure.

I'd rather buy it at 900 than 1100, most here would like to buy it at 1200 and up - as they say btfd so my dip is 900.

I started stacking both about 2 yrs back and if I lose my ass I will sue ZH. j/k I'll rewire my shop with silver bus bars. This PM thing is like a religion. A lot of faith and patience is required. Can't prove a thing til after the fact. Still stacking as fast as the onhand fiat allows.

Anything is possible but I pegged 1150ish and 15ish several months ago as some of you may know and I realize my stance on the metals from a TA standpoint and identifying a proper entry point is not popular here.  On FA I'm right there with you guys and YES I do believe TA still works as long as you take into account the manipulation and adjust accordingly.

Actually right now I think a sharp rally is quite possible perhaps to 1270ish.  But I don't think the most likely outcome is that being the start of THE reversal everyone long phyzz wants.  After that I feel THE bottom is frankly anywhere between 950ish and 1150ish but problaly between 950-1050.  I've adjusted this recently.  My 1150ish was hit but I'm leaning to one more leg lower.

Intervention changes this.  If they announce the inevitable reset of the entire system I can't account for that and my charts go out the window temporarily.  I do expect a reset to the system where gold/silver are used prominently though I still feel that Bitcoin eventually grinds its way forward into an extremely prominent role in our financial system though not at the expense of gold/silver.  Timing . . . . . . meh who the fuck knows but the action in USD and oil tell me something is brewing.
