Gold spot prices have rallied to $1930. The chart below is an update to the re-occurring chart I have been showing on the 4-hour time frame. Note how price is finding resistance exactly at the minor trendline within the channel. Prudent traders could be satisfied with the quick win from $1905.  

That said, the adage is to let a winning trade play out and the weekly chart displayed below is showing signs that a turn maybe near, with momentum about flat-lining and price still well supported around the $1900 level. If you are a stacker and are prepared to be wrong in the event of another leg down to $1850, this may be a spot to add a tranche. Regular readers will know that my level of bullishness at a low is almost directly inversely correlated to the level of fear at said hypothetical low.

Finally, again, Bitcoin; shown below on a weekly timeframe (logarithmic).

I still see no reason not to own exposure to Bitcoin; past volatility clearly indicates a very plausible path to a 6-digit price over the long term – especially if Bitcoin is ready to begin climbing (perhaps quickly?) what is now its fourth wall of worry in 12 years.

Thanks, and have a great week.

Jonathan Da Silva developed a passion for hard money and economics from a young age having been influenced by family who sought to teach me that "nothing is free", and the importance of intrinsic value early on. My interest in markets grew keener during the great financial crisis of 2008; leaning on family with vast trading experience, I began to self-educate on technical analysis and economics- drawing inspiration from the works of individuals like W.D. Gann and Adam Smith. I have been a proud member of the Kitco team since 2017 and hope that my writing inspires readers to consider an objective view of the metals, and the greater financial markets.
