Gold Price Forecast 2009

Wave four should not enter the territory of wave one unless it is a seven wave impulse pattern . Wave A should be designated as wave 6 .

Thinking of investing in gold - any thoughts or updates to your gold forecast beyound March 2009.

Your analysis is excellent. This is very valuable information about the Gold.

Do you have the latest revised forecast from March 2009 to Dec 2010. If yes, please send it to my email address.

Thanks!

In the 2 days following the announcement by the fed of QE, J P Morgan increased its short position on gold by 1.2 million ounces in order to cap the price.

With market manipulation like this I fail to understand why you guys indulge in TA, of whatever sort.

Far better to analyse JPM business model, adding into revenues the $2,2 trillion in bonds that it sold in excess of treasury authorisation, and trying to figure when the largest crime syndicate on the planet might go bust.

That is when in my opinion you will see gold, (and silver) revert to its true value.

Does Mr. Walayat have an update from his January forecast?

Markets are so volatile, I would like to hear from up as to his current predictions.

Thanks.

Does Mr. Walayat have an update to his bearish January forecast? A lot of things have happened since them and I would like to know what he predicts now.

Thank you

My focus over the last month has been on analysing and trading the stock indices, I do intend coming back to gold within a week or so.

Would like to know your forcast for gold for last Quater 09 & what your views are on ETF's as apposed to mining companies or fisical gold. Regards Harry Lloyd

Hi

A couple of weeks ago you stated your Gold update was pending but as far as I've seen there has been nothing published since. Am curious to know is there a specific reason you've held back on the analysis or is it just a time constraint issue?

Regards

Paul

Time

trading room upgrades knocked me out of market activity for a week.

Can't give a date as my schedule where articles are concerned is first the UK economy, then stocks then gold.

Gold Price Forecast 2009 Evaluation.

My original analysis for Gold as of 22nd January concluded with a gold price trend higher into March 2009 towards a target of $960 to be followed by a subsequent decline into mid 2009 as illustrated by the original forecast graph below.

The Gold price forecast proved to be accurate in terms of the projected impulse waves. This analysis seeks to project Gold forward several months into 2010.

Fundamentals - Inflation Driving Gold?

The problem with this scenario is that the inflation of the 1980's and 1990's did NOT drive Gold higher, so clearly the mantra of Inflation driving gold higher is not correct, especially as we are presently emerged in debt deleveraging deflation, and neither does discounting future inflation expectations hold up, as the Gold bull market is now into its 10th year with a gain of 400% to date.

Gold Secular Bull Market

From 1980 to 1999 Gold fell for 20 years, eventually it would bottom and embark on a bull market, eventually, the signs for this would be not in fundamental data, but contained within the price chart as Gold breaks the pattern of corrective rallies followed by the downtrend resuming to new bear market lows. Now some 9 years later gold has corrected the preceding secular bear market by 50% in time and 100% in price. Therefore gold is not in a new bull market which has already contained many vicious bear markets within it as we witnessed last October, so just bare in mind that this is not a fresh young bull market, therefore much of the talk of waiting for public participation to join in can be discounted.

U.S. Dollar / Credit Crisis

My earlier analysis of a positive trend for the USD clearly implies given the inter market relationship between a two for a weaker trend for Gold. However the risk is that amidst the next phase of the global financial crisis as the bankrupt banks have far from recovered, the next stage of the banking crisis accompanied by recognised inflationary panic measures of money printing which devalues all fiat currencies could give a lift to gold.

Quantitative Easing aka Money Printing Hedging

We are in a new world (for the west anyway) and that is a world of Quantitative Easing, the more the governments of the world print money and monetize debt the easier it is for governments to keep printing and monetizing ever escalating amounts of government debt to cover the government budget deficit gap. What this means is collective currency devaluation where relatively speaking there appears to be little change but in real terms the flood of money has to be seen in rising commodity prices and other scarce resources, after all the supply of resources is mostly known and the population of the world is not decreasing so the demand is known to be on an upward curve. Therefore as long as the central bankers are embarked on the experiment of quantitative easing that should give a lift to gold and other commodities as it increases inflation expectations and therefore inflation hedging using gold and more liquid commodities such as crude oil.

Gold Technical Analysis

ELLIOTT WAVE THEORY - The elliott wave pattern implies we are a strong bull market that has much further to run, i.e. in Wave 4 of a larger Wave 2 advance. This also suggests that the immediate future should see further weakness in gold towards $1,000. However, this is just a correction in the trend that projects to a price of more than $1,100 by the end of this year, with the trend continuing into March 2010 toward $1,200 before a more serious correction takes place.

TREND ANALYSIS - Gold's breakout to a new all time high is a clear signal of further strong advances. The support trendline is at $1,000 and therefore fits in nicely with the elliott wave correction projection target. After the uptrend resumes this trendline is unlikely to be revisited until the second quarter of 2010.

SUPPORT / RESISTANCE - Resistance lies at the last high of $1071, Immediate support lies across the string of previous highs of $1033 and $1007, therefore there is very heavy support whilst very light resistance overhead, which again is suggestive of a mild correction in the current phase of the trend.

PRICE TARGETS - The measuring move off of the $681 2008 low projects all the way to $1,350, which looks set to be an achievable price during 2010. Nearer term immediate targets extend to $1,100 then $1,200.

MACD - The MACD indicator signaled a Gold breakout at $960, with a firm established uptrend. The current correction is inline with that of a mild correction within a strong uptrend.

SEASONAL TREND - There is a strong seasonal tendency for gold to rally from November through January i.e. for the next 3 months. This is suggestive that the current correction is living on borrowed time and may not last much longer

Gold Conclusion

I started off this analysis skeptical of the prospects for gold given the 10 year bull run to date, but the price that is talking off the charts is pretty bullish! enough for me to consider accumulating a position. In the immediate future Gold appears to be targeting a continuing correction towards $1,000, after which it targets $1,200 by March 2010 and a price of $1,350 later during 2010.

Gold Long-term - Gold has broken out to a new high and it does look as though it is going much higher in the long run, there are multiple measuring moves that one can consider, such as 133%, 150%, 1.618% etc. However given the gap in time between the all time peaks, Gold of $2000 plus would now not surprise me.

Gold Bull Market Inter market Implication - Bearish on the U.S. Dollar.
