{quote}i dont know how people spending time, but i do spending a lot in analysis multiple pair in HTF, gold for short term scalp (which other pair can not do well) and also big swing as well, you get plenty time of weekend and spending few for checking D1 H4 timeframe is simple job. My risk is optimal with some precise entry lol, staying at strong position of D1 W1 never fail you too much and the reward is very nice
But spending more time to analyze is barely half the game
Discipline is the bigger thing and sticking to just 1 pair can be seen as huge discipline not necessarily lazy or fearful something.
Its based on past experiences

{quote} They are pumping money in their economy. But that money leaves their economy and flew to Shanghai GOLD exchange, Hong Kong GOld market by firms (pension firm, and UHNWI) Thus, Gold acts as a release valve for the pressure accumulating for the denominator (fiat currency). Gobal money supply grows, CUrrency value falls against things of perceivable limited supply.
As a normalization, the impulse from BRICS still on, NATO is weakening, breaking down, but sooner or later, it will rise again
chaos it is lol, like a pendulum swing return to the middle as the balance after impulse. We can see that now most of gold trading, cash flow at Shanghai trading center, no-one talking about Wallstreet anymore => this obvious show the power of China is rising hard! lucky i'm in Vietnam just well below of it, can take some advantage of it in real life heheOne more thing, you could see how market intraday session changing now, in past 10 years, most volume and price move at NY session, since last 2 years, most of move at early of Asia session => full control from Asia
Will is the most powerful weapon in the world.

SURFER
Now lets look forward
Backwardation:
A Temporary or a Sustaining one???
Tempo: spot price > future price (now)
Sustaining: Spot price > Next futures contract (MAr, APR, JUN..)
This cause price to continue to rise, as these contracts are considered 'undervalued.'
SPOT:
Futures now (= futures perpetual) ticker GC1!
Futures contract (MArch contract)
$12 premium (normal condition but tightening)
April contract
($27) tightening condition.
Based on this, backwardation is a temporary.
We could see a Retest, 4639 before we more to the late $5600

Keep rising?
The big support now is at 4786/90 zone, is the gap continuation patterm missed test, i needed to go understand what happpen, afterall there some gaps like this one and can be extended generally to level 4, but they manage test the levels after a break, when it fail the rejection they seek the other but eventually they end test the missed one, but don't looks today, or i know when lol
Stop talking about resistances at no land territory, there are none.
London or stop or continue, so don't fight, London meaning Ny kissing London and go...

{quote} Gold remains bullish within an ascending channel holding above the key support zone around 4620-4600 which aligns with trendline support. Price has impulsively moved up from the 4540-4560 demand. Immediate resistance lies near 4712-4748 where a weak high is marked, a clean break above this area can open upside toward 4780-4800. As long as price stays above 4620 the bullish bias remains intact while a pullback into 4600-4580 may offer continuation buying opportunities.{image}
Now the main question is what comes next. In my opinion gold may go up a bit more possibly to 4890 or 4929 and then move down. Right now i am looking for a short position expecting gold to fall from those levels. But if price holds above them then 5000 could be the next target and gold may not drop much unless there is some positive news from Trump which doesnt seem likely hahaha. Let’s see.
Patience

dammit... i should have bought yesterday evening at 4760 would have had 100 of profit ( also... bwt... is that 100 pips in profit or what are pips?) which would in return with my current left overs after last weeks losses would be a profit of 300€
