Gold Weekly update 13.02-17.02

On Gold I am more bearish than bullish and let's see why.

In my opinion Gold will continue down in a bearish channel and we have two reversal points. I marked them on the chart. There is still a possibility of a bigger push to fill the imbalance, but in my opinion price is not ready for a such big bullish move.

Macroeconomics

Last week FED announced that they probably will rase the rates more than 5%, which was the target for this year. Labor market is extremely strong, wages are going higher - very inflationary for the economic.

Joe Biden also announced last week that USA has very strong labor market and he is not worried about the people, because they have well paid jobs and companies offer more and more jobs. In theory it is very strong economy.

The strong labor market is a fact, but it is against the FED main politic to keep inflation down.


Top-Down Analysis

istantanea

On a weekly TF we have doji candle, but it not mean that Gold will reverse, it means only slow down - consolidation or bearish channel.

Daily candle closed as bullish candle, thats why we may see one or two bullish candles next week, before the continuation down.


Swing projection

istantanea

Right now the swing projection is misleading and the timing is also not clear.

We can only use the table of returns, which is showing that February is a bearish month.
