MQP-IER-001: GOLD TO 1800 BY 09/15/23, PROBABLY A WEEK EARLIER لـ FX_IDC:XAUUSD بواسطة Binary_Forecasting_Service

HEADER - This is where we got to from previous post. Since it has reached a new stage, it deserves a new post.

SUMMARY - Gold to 1800 by 09/15/23, but I'm thinking more like 09/06/23 (edited, I previously wrote 09/05/23).

DETAILS - The details are in the linked post below. The last third to half of it is how we got here.

STRATEGY - Pick a spot and short, short, and short again. Will get into the specifics within 8 days from now or by 08/23/23.

NOTES - Per usual, will add as we go.

ملاحظة

NOTES 2 - Boxes.
a) so black boxes are high odds right now
b) gray boxes are low odds right now
c) invalidation by breaking above first 4 black boxes AND HOLD (the higher the better)

ملاحظة

NOTES 3 - Still "sideways to 8/22"?
a) that's base case for at least 8 hours
b) if things change bearishly in 8 hours...
c) then some of the more bearish gray boxes become black....
d) while some of the higher black boxes become gray...
e) and so on...

ملاحظة

NOTES 4 - I probably have one more draft before 8/23 coming.
a) if I run this through the 5 ratios previously noted in last post ...
b) I will for sure have a better chart to snack on, especially closer to 8/23
c) we will cross that bridge if and when...

ملاحظة

NOTES 5 - First updates.
a) consider:

ملاحظة

b) so after completing one ratio and review 2 more (but not completed)
c) the floor for 09/06/23 is 1817, not 1800
d) NOT THAT IT CAN'T HIT 1800, it just not likely by 09/06/23

ملاحظة

e) I'd like to point out that this is not the same as what I've done before where I attempted to forecast a giant move "BASED ON EVERYTHING"...
f) this is heavily weighted last 3 months to figure out how "the dice is rigged" to...
g) forecast 3 weeks ahead

ملاحظة

h) plus stricter guardrails for invalidation

ملاحظة

i) goodnight

ملاحظة

NOTES 6, 1:35 AM ET 8/16
1) odds of lower low before sideways to 8/22 now roughly 50/50, maybe a slight dog
2) so now we wait a week for an entry

ملاحظة

NOTES 7, 8/16, 6:27 PM ET, LOWER LOW AND REVERSAL, NOW 1894.XX
1) so got that lower low at 1891-ish I talked about last night in previous post
2) HOWEVER, there a strong reversal to 1915-ish setup for next 24 hours
3) price usually will take this revesal up...

ملاحظة

4) too busy to add more right now... but overall no changes to expectations
5) basically move to 1817 give or take, the issue is how fast and how much short term zig zag

ملاحظة

NOTES 8, 8/17, 8:42 AM ET 1900.xx
1) from 1902, from 1889 overnight
2) odds of retest down now 4 in 5 or better
3) 1910-1915 24 hours AFTER retest
4) retest should happen...
5) within 200 minutes (so, by noon ET)

ملاحظة

NOTES 9,8/17 10:35 AM ET 1894.xx
1) retest in process
2) odds of retest holding 1/4 or less
3) so we should expect lower low...

ملاحظة

4) continuing...
5) that's 1885-1887
6) but on 15 min chart, it should look like this:

ملاحظة

7) take that chart above with some salt
8) basically it says 1 more lower low
9) and legit rebound to 1908
10) followed by sideways to slowly up
11) but that ceiling has dropped from 1930+
12) to 1920+
13) and it's look like 1915-1919 with brief odds above 1920
14) by brief odds I mean quick selloff once hitting 1920+

ملاحظة

15. this red example is only a 3 pt difference:

ملاحظة

16. but it holds the floor w/o going lower...
17. opens the door for better short entry on 8/23-24
18. that's it for today

ملاحظة

19. just to review:

ملاحظة

20. so that's still my plan
21. but I also have a put from 1901 November expiration
22. just in case it wants to drip and drip and drip and drip and drip and drip....
23. I mean that's what it's been doing
24. again, that's what I'm doing, not what I am recommending you do
25. bc the smart move IS TO TO WAIT FOR 8/23-24

ملاحظة

26. and here's why:

ملاحظة

27. bc in theory, even if it continues to drip...
28. odds STRONGLY favors the same 1900 entry on 8/23-24
29. but the FOMO in me keeps asking why it wouldn't do this:

ملاحظة

30. that's why I have november expiration
31. that's also why I would cover at 1887-ish
32. so it's essentially trading with the trend tactically
33. IF YOU DO, DO THAT AT YOUR OWN RISK

ملاحظة

34. This goes without saying, but the key to tactical trading is:
35. Constant attention to price action and/or trail with hard stop...
36. EVERY, SINGLE, TIME. FULL STOP.
37. I am not here to give advice or specifics for tactical (short term) trading.

ملاحظة

38. About to stop out on 15 second bars:

ملاحظة

39. 1:35 PM ET, covered puts 1985.xx

ملاحظة

40. I waited and shorted again bc of this blue line here:

ملاحظة

41. but reversal risk is high again at 1885

ملاحظة

42. I have extremely high risk 8/18 calls with stops at 3 sides of this rectangle:

ملاحظة

43. Why long here?
44. So here's break of the blue line:

ملاحظة

45. 1885 is HARD STOP

ملاحظة

4:44 PM ET 1888.XX COUNTERTREND LONG UPDATE:

ملاحظة

1) did not hit 1885, actually 1885.03
2) this part is tricky depending on how your order is structured

ملاحظة

3) if you trade ICE ticker, it did get hit like 1884.5 or so
4) my options limit sell DID get hit
5) but I will update at or before 10:30 PM ET when the box expires
6) for the purposes of this long now, HARD STOP is now 1886.75
7) with 1902 ceiling and 10:30 PM ET time limit
8) meaning sell the long at 1886.75, 1902, 10:30 PM ET whichever hits first

ملاحظة

5:01 PM ET RAISE STOP
1) to 1887.75
2) FOR ALL TICKERS

ملاحظة

3) 6 min later
4) it should be 1887.90
5) not 1887.75

ملاحظة

7:23 PM ET RAISE STOP
1) to 1888.55
2) is this necessary?
3) well yeah

ملاحظة

4) 2 min later
5) raise again to 1889.45

ملاحظة

7:40 PM ET RAISE HARD STOP ALL TICKERS to 1889.8

ملاحظة

1) when you trade tactically against the trend
2) you always have to watch or
3) you have to always watch
4) pick one
5) and religiously trail your stop

ملاحظة

7:54 PM ET RAISE AGAIN
1) to 1890.35
2) 1893 is within reach
3) but we almost have to sell at 1893 bc of incoming vol on 1 min bars

ملاحظة

4) ICE ticker stopped out 25 min ago
5) so it is 8:25 PM ET

ملاحظة

6) so the rest of the way will be concerning live tickers
7) of which there are 5 left that I scan
8) XAUUSD (spot gold) from OANDA, FXOPEN, FOREXCOM, PEPPERSTONE, AMD SAXO

ملاحظة

9) typo... and SAXO
10) for whatever reasons the bid/ask for ICE ticker always move about $0.45 more

ملاحظة

11) but I do use ICE/ICD ticker to post charts bc it has most detailed price and volume history (w exception of futures GC ticker, which always WAY OUT either direction)

ملاحظة

12) with that said raise stop to 1891.15

ملاحظة

13) for reference, use FXCM or FXOPEN if trading live
14) or at any time when $1 matters

ملاحظة

15) 9:09 PM ET, raise to 1892.35

ملاحظة

16) 1893.87 at 9:17 PM ET RAISE STOP TO 1893
17) so earlier I did say that there will vol on 1-min chart at 1893

ملاحظة

18) see notes above at "7:54 PM ET, 3) but we almost have to sell at 1893 bc of incoming vol on 1-min bars"

ملاحظة

19) so here is 1-min bars:

ملاحظة

20) fwiw, raise stop again to 1893.55 (it's 9:20 PM ET)

ملاحظة

21) so here's where we are:

ملاحظة

22) so it looks like we're going to get hit as I type this ... and it just got hit

ملاحظة

23) so what now?
24) so we stay out of this for a better entry towards 1902-1908
25) problem is I gotta clean up at home so I can't really do this to help you out

ملاحظة

26) so here's this chart again I posted this morning:

ملاحظة

27) we are basically doing "a faster version of this"
28) we are at that brake before higher
29) but I don't know that unless I watch this THE ENTIRE TIME
30) and I can't so... so that's all I got to give you

ملاحظة

31) just one more thing
32)

ملاحظة

33) for chart above: here is that blue marker from earlier vs what's happening right now
34) and ...

ملاحظة

35) here's same chart w/ matching bollingers but less defined waves:

ملاحظة

36) so first, for the sake of time, take this chart (above) with some salt per usual
37) that said, the rules remain valid
38) if the blue wave breaks up (and it is, pretty sure looking right now)...
39) see where the extensions of the blue bollinger are?
40) if you're familiar with the old "squeeze-mo" or squeeze momentum from years ago from (I just can't remember the dude's name, and dude I'm sorry I forgot)...
41) the blue wave is crossing THE MEDIAN OF RESPECTIVE BOLLINGER BAND
42) so price will HEAD FOR THAT HIGH BAND WHERE THE RECTANGLE IS
43) we can forecast its time BECAUSE PRICE HAS TO ARRIVE AHEAD OF THE WAVE
44) again, I can only provide support if I WATCH ALL THE TIME AND I CANNOT RIGHT NOW
45) but that's the road map ...
46) it's 1893.xx as I type this so good luck and have a good night

ملاحظة

47) last note with red wave which is 2x blue wave:

ملاحظة

48) for charty above:
49) so 3 very light red extensions are red wave's bollinger band 1 SD
50) the rule here is at that location, which is the second box (about the same as first box)...
51) this will be bout 1:45 AM ET 8/18 (tomorrow)
52) the math here is 1/2 the band (size of the long red double arrow) from the red band's future position...
53) will be where price is...
54) in other words ... a bit less than the previoius high from 9 AM ET this morning

ملاحظة

55) keep STOPS TIGHT AF and see you in the morning

ملاحظة

11:14 PM ET, IF I was up, and I'm going to bed, so I'm not...
1) I would go long here 1892.19 NOW
2) AND HARD STOP 1891.85

ملاحظة

3) tight AF...
4) but if it's going to work, it better hold RIGHT HERE, or it's not worth it
5) and then RELIGIOUSLY TRAIL UP THE STOP
6) bc, it's oversold AF on 1-min 15sec bar
7) I mean if it keeps heading lower here, odds start swing DOWN HARD AGAIN

ملاحظة

8) 6 min later... stopped out already
9) it's over, not worth the long any more
10) odds look like 55/45 bear again
11) also NOT WORTH SHORTING EITHER
12) so no value either direction for at least 150-300 minutes or 2.5-5 hours

ملاحظة

FRIDAY 8/18 2:12 PM ET, 100 PT MOVE UPDATE
1) with help of "fibonacci ratio IRL", I cay say that there is...
2) a "36 hour window"
3) somewhere from THURSDAY 8/24 TO THURSDAY 8/31
4) but likely from FRIDAY 8/25 9 AM ET TO TUESDAY 8/29 4 PM ET
5) that there should be 100 pt move in 36 hours
6) even 30 hours
7) in the mean time, the curves are so bearish that it's hard to imagine anything above 1911 on 8/23-8/24
8) so there it is, that's what I think I know

ملاحظة

9) oh yeah, I'm thinking 1905 to 1805
10) but the wide range should be 1918 to 1788

ملاحظة

11) basically gold is heading for collapse on 5.5-hour bars
12) but we are still at least a week out from this move
13) so until then, short any decent bounce and you'll be fine

ملاحظة

14) in fact...
15) it's 2:25 AM ET 1893.XX
16) it's 1893.52 as I type
17) shorting w/ a tight 1894.40 stop looks excellent

ملاحظة

18) BTW, typo above at on time marker, it should be 2:12 AM, not PM, bc it's still dark here

ملاحظة

19) nevermind on "excellent" comment, it looks decent, not great
20) just keep trailing stops TIGHT AF and you'll be fine

ملاحظة

8/18 11:02 AM ET EXPECT NOTHING FOR A WEEK:

ملاحظة

1. In my car
2. But nothing worth pointing out.
3. Not even worth shorting until 8/23, next Wed.
4. Wrap for this week.

ملاحظة

MONDAY 8/21, 1:07 AM ET, HEADING FOR 1903 AGAIN
1. so like this:

ملاحظة

2. basically same picture... just slight variations
3. no change in plans
4. wait until 8/23, 24, 25 or 26 to short
5. early 24th still seem most likely

ملاحظة

6. pre-crash high 1913
7. 8/30 floor is 1806-ish
8. really nothing else worth commenting on

ملاحظة

9. tradeable short 1905-1825

ملاحظة

1:51 AM ET 8/21
1) for chart above:
2) this ellipse here, w/ price from 1895-1925
3) is super important for long run bull thesis
4) I've stated before that if late July early August failed to break out...
5) that there is one last window in Jan-March 2024
6) price needs to hit 1913-1925 area on Wed-Thurs, maybe even early Friday
7) IN ORDER TO KEEP THIS LAST CHANCE REALISITIC
8) if price stays UNDER 1905 all the way down
9) THIS CUTS ODDS OF JAN-MAR 2024 WINDOW SIGNIFICANTLY
10) why?

ملاحظة

11) bc it places odds of "one more leg down to 1720 or whatever" at 60-40 or better
12) so let's say we find ourselves 1720 in October, say 55 days from now...
13) while not impossible, it's very unrealistic to see pice break out above 2080 in Jan 2024
14) or 90 days after that
15) IN OTHER WORDS...
16) next 4 days of price action
17) holds half the odds (give or take) of gold bull thesis for now through Mar 2026
18) which by extension of zig-zag, kill gold bull thesis for next 8 years

ملاحظة

8/21 MONDAY, 10.30 AM E5 1887.XX
1) continuing from previous notes
2) sell off before 1900 this morning is a bad sign for bulls
3) this strongly suggests 1906 is not in the cards
4) so pre crash high would be WED 8/23 1905 AT BEST...
5) so entry short moves back to 8/23
6) crash moves to 8/25 placing first low 1820-1825 SUNDAY NIGHT TO MONDAY AM
7) that would be 8/27 or 8/28

ملاحظة

8) tehis also places 1805 BY END OF DAY 8/31

ملاحظة

9) this also means LOWER LOW IN OCTOBER 1720 BALL PARK

ملاحظة

10) chart at top replay has us following gray boxes
11) so that means lower low tomorrow 187x possible
13) if so that really puts Wed ceiling under 1900

ملاحظة

8/21 4:33 PM ET UPDATE 1894.xx
1) no changes except
2) it's getting really hard to see to see bulls change the outcome

ملاحظة

8/22, TUESDAY, 6:06 AM ET, 1903.XX
1) so floor held and now we're above 1900
2) no changes to overall expectations
3) that is ENTRY SHORT TOMORROW WED 8/23
4) 1825 EXPECTED ON 8/28
5) 1805 BY END OF 8/31
6) celing for this bounce is now 1906
7) besides being closer to 1906 bc it's 1903.xx....
8) there is no legit reason to expect a prices above 1906 for the rest of today and Wed

ملاحظة

9) continuing at 6:15 AM ET
10) so let's talk max vol for bulls for next 36 hours (day and a half)
11) so this is is "in the realm of possibility"
12) 1 PM ET TODAY 1918.50
13) 7 PM ET TODAY 1917

ملاحظة

14) 3 AM ET TOMORROW (WED) 1915.50
15) 2 PM ET TOMORROW 1913.50

ملاحظة

16) so that's saying, SHOULD PRICE HIT THOSE NUMBERS JUST LISTED, TAKE THAT ENTRY SHORT
17) HOWEVER....
18) NONE OF THEM ARE EXPECTED TO HIT

ملاحظة

19) EXCEPT FOR 1913.50 for mid-day tomorrow, this is still within reason but not favored to happen
20) that means that I intend to ENTRY SHORT WED 1PM ET TO MIDNIGHT, around 1910-1913 should that be made available

ملاحظة

21) if that's not available, then I will short 1906

ملاحظة

22) that's a wrap for today, see you tomorrow

ملاحظة

8/22 9:48 AM ET 1893.XX
1. No changes to plans after dropping 10 this morning.
2. 1913 is max vol until Wed afternoon ET.
3. Live odds favor 1906 ceiling and entry 27-31 hours from now.

ملاحظة

8/22 11:16 AM ET -- END OF POST, HERE IS NEXT 8 DAYS:

MQP-IER-002: GOLD 1830 BY 8/28/23, 1806 BY 09/07/23

ملاحظة

8/24, 9:16 AM ET, THIS POST IS STILL LIVE.
1) I shorted at 1818
2) HARD STOP 1822.5

ملاحظة

3) basically here:

ملاحظة

4) 10:25 AM ET, COMPLETED ENTRY 1919.50
5) hard stop 1822.5

ملاحظة

6) it's supposed to go STRAIGHT DOWN at this point of the break of second circle

ملاحظة

7) so drop stop to 1920.4
8) and trail it down this time
9) I'm busy today, so I can't post tactics whether or not I'm trading tactically
10) and it looks like I won't have time for that

ملاحظة

11) FWIW drop stop to 1919.25 now (10:32 AM ET)

ملاحظة

12) 10:40 AM ET... I most of the puts
13) just holding november puts now
14) the shape of this move now wants to put in a floor at 1885
15) but it still needs to retest ahead of 8/31
16) so that's why I have some november GLD puts (it's cheap, and easy to hold for awhile)

ملاحظة

17) otherwise, this staying power at 1920's region is about to invalidate this chart too in 7-8 hours if it doesn't reach 1902-1907 by NY CLOSE
18) and it doesn't look like it will right now

ملاحظة

19) that's wrap for this one too.

ملاحظة

8/24, 12:44 PM ET, CONSIDER:

1) in chart above:

ملاحظة

2) on micro trends, we are heading for 1909.5-1913 by 6.30 PM ET
3) in big picture, this move to 1805 by 9/15 or a week earlier has statically invalidated
4) so the issue is what now?
5) if you are a bull here (you think 1926, then 1936 are next)
6) then this move towards 1911-ish NEEDS TO NOT HAPPEN
7) bc it would setup 1895-1900 for Friday after Powell speech 10:00 AM ET

ملاحظة

8) 1:31 PM ET:

9) so will it stop?
10) we will know soon

ملاحظة

11) so if I use 1 min bar waves to show binary outcomes:

ملاحظة

12) here's live odds:

ملاحظة

8/24 PM ET ALMOST 7 PM ET
1) if u replay chart at top
2) it's a coin flip right now for us to hit the top halves of NEXT 4 BLACK BOXES
3) but it's hard to see numbers under 1870-1875
4) but that doesn't mean "1805 by 9/15" is live
5) bc of 2 way vol
6) with that said, here's next round of expectations

ملاحظة

7) for chart above
8) bears need to push HARD to get to 1910 even though it's only 5.5 more
9) why?

ملاحظة

10) ealier I said 1909.5-1913 by 6.30 PM ET

ملاحظة

11) that was bc the micro bear trends exhaust soon afterwards

ملاحظة

12) so now?
13) bulls have window to midnight ET

ملاحظة

14) but IF THEY HESITATE...

ملاحظة

15. bears will OWN FRIDAY

ملاحظة

16. ooooh, looks like HESITATION

ملاحظة

17) hesitation means penalty (like a turnover in the NFL)
18) we will know by 10:00 PM ET

ملاحظة

19) 9:54 PM ET 1917.xx
20) from 1914.xx
21) if white is up and black is down
22) then we have some more gray... but dark gray
23) bulls have 2 more hours

ملاحظة

24) to be clear, 2 more hours to setup a bullish day for Friday
25) it's looking like a DOWN FIRST TO 10 AM
26) then bounce after 10 AM

ملاحظة

27) so price is under last relative low w/in last hours...
28) bulls are out of time to make tomorrow a bullish day vs yesterday
29) but can still get an close to even day:
30) so again, down first, then close strong after POWELL

ملاحظة

ALMOST 11 PM ET -- THIS POST HAS ENDED AGAIN AND PROBABLY DONE FOR. HERE IS NEXT FEW DAYS:
