Gold Weekly Chart; Overbot; Rising Wedge; Negative Divergence Developing; Price Extended; Rampant Euphoric Bullish Sentiment for Gold

The gold weekly chart was topped-out with the only caveat the Federal Reserve and what was planned for rate cuts. Chairman Powell fires a money bazooka, because the investment banks will reward him when he leaves office, promising 50-bip cuts for as far as the eye can see. The dollar drops and stocks and gold pop. America's wealthy class celebrate Powell and the era of easy money, the New Gilded Age, that makes the rich super rich and the poor poorer.

The Powell orgy move needed a couple weeks to play out and gold is at 2668 an all-time high and tagged 2709 moving above 2.7K. The folks that bot gold for $250 when the century changed over are happy campers; a quick couple decades go by and gold is a 10-bagger. Gold is topping-out again as the happy Fed news is priced-in. Isn't the crony faux capitalism sickening?

The red rising wedge is bearish. The RSI and stochastics are overbot agreeable to a pullback. The red lines show negative divergence across all indicators except the MACD line. There is always one of them in the crowd. The MACD is only a hair above the prior high but this may be enough to jog price down-up so the MACD has time to go neggie d, so the top for gold, on the weekly basis, is any time between now and 1 to 2 weeks. The chart will tell you when the MACD goes neggie d. The first print for the week tomorrow morning may show the MACD in retreat which would lock the high in right now.

Note how the volume slips away over the last few months. The joyous new lifetime highs in gold come with lackluster volume that generally does not surpass the big volume weeks for this year. The three blue circles show distribution taking place with the smart money handing off gold to the dumb money. Humorously, the traders and investors that held onto gold through the data and Fed speak were rewarded.

The ADX is in the stratosphere continuing to show that the move higher in gold on the weekly basis is a strong trend higher. The ADX is a lagging indicator so it does not provide contrarian information to the bear case above. If the MACD line needs another week or so to line up with neggie d and call the exact top, the ADX will likely be coming off the top as well. Price is extended above the moving averages needing a mean reversion lower.

The Aroon is one for the record books. Every market participant is long gold or 100% bullish gold expecting the yellow metal to continue higher forever. The Aroon green line shows that 100% of the gold bulls expect gold to rally forever. Wheeee. Whoopie! The Aroon red line shows that 100% of the gold bears expect gold to rally forever. Wheeee. What? Say what? Yes, it is off-the-chart euphoric bullishness, complete complacency and fearlessness, and a belief that gold will never drop again. Come on folks, what do you think is going to happen? Keystone is used to sitting alone on one side of the boat but eventually everyone comes over to join him.

Gold is expected to drop now, or bump along sideways-ish for a week or so and then begin dropping, and fall into a multi-week decline. The US dollar daily chart is set to receive a positive divergence rally so that would send gold lower. The upper band is violated so the middle band at 2452, and rising, is on the table, as well as the lower band at 2251.

Keystone is not playing gold derivatives right now, or the miners, either long or short, but obviously the path forward is to short the rallies in gold. Looking at the GLD weekly chart, it is the same as above with the middle band downside target at 225 and rising and the lower band down at 207. Whooaaa, doggie, well, look at that, the MACD is flat, maybe a tiny hair below the prior high on the GLD weekly chart (neggie d) which tells you that the top is in now for GLD on the weekly basis. The GLD daily chart is topped-out and agreeable to a pullback. Ditto the GLD 2-hour chart, it topped-out with neggie d on Friday morning. It looks like it is all systems go for the dollar to pop, gold to drop, and stocks to drop.

The Gold on the Ceiling will soon be on the floor in a multi-week decline. This information is for educational and entertainment purposes only. Do not invest based on anything you read or view here. Consult your financial advisor before making any investment decision.
