We had an incredible week in the metals markets with political concerns, virus numbers increasing and a vaccine coming down the pipeline. The vaccine news created a knee jerk reaction resulting in a mass exit of gold (down $100), silver (down $2), and pandemic proof stocks, i.e. (Tech), while traders rushed into energy plays like crude oil, cruise ships, airlines, and financials? That is an aggressive move if you ask me. Sign up for a Free Trial at Blue Line Futures to have our entire fundamental and technical outlook, actionable bias, and proprietary levels for the markets you trade emailed each morning: https://www.bluelinefutures.com/blfps-ib-free-trial
If you have been following our risk management process and strategies for any length of time, we recommend that you continue to take down your gross exposure at the top end of the range in gold and silver. Then use these emotionally driven sell-offs to build positions back up while maintaining long-dated call spreads to catch the “big move” in Q2 of 2021 when I expect CPI to hit 2.2% and gold to hit 2275/oz. Remember, these markets are going to keep cycling back and forth, so “Float like a butterfly, sting like a bee ~ Ali.”
With 2021 around the corner, we are sending out a complimentary 2021 Futures Calendar & Reference Guide with a limited supply. The guide is your go-to resource for government & industry report dates, contract specifications, futures, and options expiration dates. *Available to U.S. residents only. You can request yours here: Blue Line Futures 2021 Pocket Calendar.
You are probably wondering why this article’s title is “$1850 Gold – Do or Die,” and it is because we have tested that four-star support level eight times! How many times have you seen a level withstand eight tests? With that said, traders must prepare for the next three-star support near 1829-1825 if our four-start support does not hold at 1850. If you would like to be up to date on the developments and strategies we are deploying, please register for a Free two-week trial by clicking on the link here: The Blue Line Express Two-Week Free Trial Sign up.
