Introduction:
Investing in
gold, silver, and mining stocks has long been considered a strategic move due
to various factors such as de-dollarization, stagflation, empire transition,
rampant debt, and more. These fundamental drivers have historically influenced
the long-term price of gold. However, it is essential to differentiate between
reasons to own these assets and the optimal timing to make a purchase.
Current
Market Analysis:
Taking into
account recent market developments, gold appears to be presenting an attractive
buying opportunity. With a dip from approximately $2,080 to $2,032, gold is now
exhibiting a price sale ranging from $100 to $300 per ounce, a generally
favorable range for investors.
Technical
Indicators:
In addition
to considering price levels, it is crucial to examine technical indicators such
as the Relative Strength Index (RSI) and Stochastics. In a price sale, the RSI
should ideally move down to at least 50, or lower. Meanwhile, Stochastics,
specifically the 14,5,5 series on the weekly chart, should be closer to the 20
zones, although occasionally a dip to 50 may suffice.
Sentiment
Analysis:
Sentiment
plays a significant role in investment decisions, and one effective tool for
assessing sentiment is the Bullish Percent Index (BPGDM). When the BPGDM is
around 30 or lower, exchange-traded funds (ETFs) like GDX and VanEck Junior
Gold Miners ETF, along with their component stocks, are considered to be in a
sentiment buy zone. Conversely, a BPGDM reading of 70 or higher indicates a
sell zone. It is important to note that the BPGDM sentiment index should be
used in conjunction with oscillators and a measurable price sale. Furthermore,
gold typically initiates rallies near or very close to a key support zone, which
currently lies around $1,960 ($1,950 on a line chart).
Short-Term
Gold Price Action:
Examining
the short-term price action for gold, an intriguing double-headed inverse
H&S (head and shoulders) pattern is emerging. The neckline of this pattern
is around $1,985, with a target set at $2,025.
Dollar
and Interest Rates:
The
vulnerability of the dollar in the short term is perceived as positive news for
gold, as it could contribute to a potential surge toward the $2,025 target.
Similarly, US interest rates appear to be in a vulnerable state, further
favoring gold's outlook.
Investor
Tactics:
Given the
increasing likelihood of gold reaching the $2,025 target, investors should
consider positioning themselves for potential gains. Buying opportunities are
arising in the gold stock market, with attractive risk-reward ratios. For
instance, considering GDX, a purchase slightly below the late May low of $30.11
provides an excellent entry point for aggressive players, with a stop loss set
at that level. Additional gold stocks can be acquired as close to the $30.11
price as possible. The 14,7,7 Stochastics oscillator is showing promising
signals, including a crossover buy signal and the lead line moving above the 20
zone.
Silver
Miners:
While silver
has an industrial component and Western growth is slowing, the pause in rate
hikes by the Federal Reserve could potentially turn bearish sentiment into
bullish sentiment for silver. Investors eyeing the (SIL) silver stocks ETF
chart should exercise caution. Conservative investors may prefer to wait for
oversold conditions in weekly chart oscillators and BPGDM sentiment closer to
30. However, aggressive players may consider initiating purchases at the
current juncture.
