Gold Monthly Breakout Eyes Higher Prices
By: Bruce Powers | January 21, 2025

• Gold surged above $2,726, confirming a bullish reversal and setting the stage to challenge $2,790, with extended targets pointing toward $2,846 and beyond.

Gold strengthened on Tuesday as it broke out above the 2,726-swing high from December 12 and advanced to a high of 2,746 before stalling. The advance triggered a bullish trend reversal as the December lower swing high was exceeded. Also, gold is on track to end today’s session above that price, at the time of this writing.

If it does so, that will be a stronger close than a close below 2,726. In addition, gold looks likely to end the day strong, in the top third of the day’s price range. Either way, today’s bullish price action sets the stage for gold to challenge the record high of 2,790 that was hit at the end of October. In addition to a swing high breakout, the 78.6% retracement at 2,734 was also breached during today’s rally.



Heading Towards 2,772

The next higher target from chart analysis looks to be around 2,772. That is the initial target from a rising ABCD pattern (purple). At that price the two upswings in the pattern would match and generate a potential pivot. A pullback could follow or a breakout through that price zone if buyers remain in charge. Notice the acceleration in momentum as the angle of ascent for the near-term uptrend increases, along with today’s wide range green candle.

This reflects improving demand that may continue to improve. That could lead to an acceleration in the advance as market participants jump on board following the bullish reversal signal above a prior swing high.

Above Record High Points to 2,846

If gold can get above and stay above the record high of 2,790, it heads towards a target zone at 2,846, which is the 127.2% extended target for a rising ABCD pattern beginning from the February 2024 swing low of 1,984. It is quickly followed by the 227.2% extended target at 2,874 for a rising ABCD pattern that began from September 2022 low. It is also worth watching the rising trendline connecting the August swing low. In junction with other indicators, it can help provide guidance if approached.

Monthly Bullish Reversal Triggered

Finally, today’s bull breakout triggered a monthly reversal as last month’s high of 2,726 was exceeded. December was an inside month. Since the longer time frame takes precedence, a bull trend continuation signal was generated today, which increases the chance of gold reaching new record highs.

It’s a Buyer’s Market for Bullion
By: Clint Siegner | January 21, 2025

Most of the past five years in the retail bullion markets were a sellers’ market. Buyers faced hefty premiums and demand outstripped supply.

Over the past few months, that dynamic turned 180 degrees in the U.S. retail market.

A whole lot more people are inclined either to sell the metal that they have – or simply hold.

Ask premiums – the amount buyers pay in addition to the metal value for coins, rounds, and smaller bars – are at the lowest levels in years.

That is good news for buyers, but lower premiums aren’t the only reason that now could be a good time to buy.

The market is showing some tightness where it really matters in terms of metal prices. There aren’t enough COMEX deliverable bars at the moment, at least not inside the U.S. The potential for a short squeeze exists, driving spot prices higher.

Over the past week, the premium for “registered” bars in a COMEX vault has ranged from 50 cents to a dollar per ounce for silver. At the same time, premiums for deliverable gold bars made a big move higher, topping $40 per ounce.

So far, these premiums haven’t shown up in the retail physical market. They are primarily being paid by shorts who have to deliver actual metal in Comex deliverable bar form.

The difference between COMEX futures prices and the price of physical metal will eventually either push spot prices higher or futures prices lower as arbitrageurs play the spread.

Readers may remember the “Silver Squeeze” in 2021. It was a grassroots effort by retail investors to create a short squeeze in the futures markets and force prices higher.

While the effort was certainly successful in driving demand for retail bullion products, it did not drive futures higher. Thousand-ounce silver bars and kilo gold bars remained plentiful and the market price never really took off.

The current situation is different. The shortage in COMEX bar inventory available for delivery is having an impact behind the scenes and may soon burst into the public markets.

The trigger for the recent events is tariffs. President Trump is expected to levy tariffs on a variety of imports, including potentially precious metals. This threat has caused a global scramble to get gold and silver inside the United States before any tariffs take effect.

Vault inventories in London and elsewhere are not exactly plentiful. They’ve actually been declining for years.

A lot of the reported London inventory is allocated to gold and silver exchange traded fund (ETF) holdings. Some of what remains is held in “strong hands” – owned by investors who aren’t willing to sell at all, or who are holding out for much higher prices. It isn’t clear how much of a “free float” of bars is available for export.

There is also a supply deficit in silver. While mine output for gold has risen recently, silver production is expected to decline and remains 200 million ounces short of annual demand.

Producers have yet to respond to somewhat higher prices with more production. That means traders who need physical silver to cover a short position won’t be the only ones bidding for the available above-ground supply.

For anyone planning to buy physical gold or silver, now could be the best opportunity in years. Considering premiums by themselves, it definitely is.

Gold News: Safe-Haven Demand Pushes Prices Higher Amid Trade Uncertainty
By: James Hyerczyk | January 21, 2025

Key Points:

• The breakout above $2,726 suggests bullish momentum, with gold poised to test its all-time high of $2,790.
• Gold prices surge to $2,733, a 2-month high, fueled by a weak dollar and safe-haven demand amid trade policy uncertainty.
• Falling Treasury yields and a risk-off sentiment bolster gold, reinforcing its appeal as a hedge against uncertainty.
• Trump’s tariff threats on Mexico, Canada, and China drive safe-haven buying as geopolitical tensions rise.
• Support levels at $2,693 and $2,645 could provide buying opportunities if gold retraces from current levels.

Gold Prices Hit 2-Month High as Dollar Weakens


Daily Gold (XAU/USD)

Gold prices advanced on Tuesday, reaching $2,733.06, their highest level since November 24, before trimming some gains later in the session. The rally saw gold surpass the December 12 peak of $2,726.30, which acted as a key resistance level. The breakout signals strong momentum, with room for prices to climb toward the all-time high of $2,790.17, last reached on October 31.

Traders are eyeing immediate support at $2,693.40, with further downside levels at $2,663.50, a significant 50% retracement level, and $2,645.78, which coincides with the 50-day moving average. Any pullback into these zones could provide buying opportunities.

At 12:04 GMT, XAU/USD is trading $2723.29, up $15.39 or +0.57%.

Weaker Dollar Fuels Gold’s Strength

The U.S. dollar index fell 0.6% on Tuesday, trading near a two-week low. A weaker dollar made gold more attractive to foreign investors, as bullion becomes cheaper for holders of other currencies.

Later in the day, the dollar regained some ground as President Donald Trump floated the possibility of a 25% tariff on imports from Mexico and Canada. While this prompted a temporary rebound in the greenback, gold’s safe-haven appeal remained intact, supported by lingering concerns over trade policy uncertainty.

Safe-Haven Demand Drives Gold Higher

Gold’s role as a hedge against economic and geopolitical uncertainty has been a driving factor in its recent performance. Trump’s comments about potential tariffs on Canada, Mexico, and China heightened fears of global trade disruptions, prompting investors to shift capital into safe-haven assets like gold.

In addition, U.S. Treasury yields declined on Tuesday as markets absorbed the economic implications of Trump’s policy announcements. Investors showed risk-off sentiment following his signing of more than 40 executive orders, which has added to uncertainty surrounding his administration’s economic agenda.

Market Forecast for Gold Prices

Gold’s upward momentum and the breakout above $2,726.30 suggest a bullish outlook for the near term. If prices continue to rise, the market could test the all-time high of $2,790.17. However, resistance could emerge if the U.S. dollar strengthens further or if markets anticipate prolonged high interest rates from the Federal Reserve.

Traders should closely monitor upcoming U.S. economic data, including housing statistics and PMI releases, as well as any developments in Trump’s trade policies, which could provide additional catalysts for gold prices.

Gold Market Drifts Higher in Holiday Trading
By: Christopher Lewis | January 20, 2025

• The gold market managed to drift a little higher in the shortened holiday session on Monday, as Martin Luther King Jr Day had the futures markets closed for about half of the session. At this point, the market will look like it will break out of consolidation.

Gold Markets Technical Analysis

Gold markets have been a little bit choppy in the early hours of Monday, but keep in mind, it’s also Martin Luther King Jr. holiday in the United States and therefore, you’ve got a situation where the liquidity in the futures market would have been limited not only by volume, but also by time, as it wasn’t open for the entire session. So, with that, you can only read so much into this. But it does look overall like the market’s trying to get above the $2,725 area, which if it does, it allows gold to continue going much higher.

Short-term pullbacks, albeit likely, should be thought of as potential buying opportunities as long as we can stay above the 50-day EMA. If we were to break down below there, then it could open up a move down to the $2,600 region, which has been support so far. There are plenty of reasons to think that gold goes higher, not the least of which is that we have massive amounts of debt around the world that is a major problem, but we also have plenty of geopolitical concerns as well.

I mean, those really haven’t gone anywhere. So, with that being said, it looks to me like a market that is trying to digest a lot of the gains from last year as it drifts sideways and overall, I do think that eventually it takes off to the upside. But the question is, how long does it need to work off the froth? The answer is, of course, you never really know. But there’s nothing on this chart that suggests that you should get short of this market anytime soon.

The Opium Wars (simplified Chinese: ????; traditional Chinese: ????; pinyin: Yapiàn zhànzheng) were two conflicts waged between China and Western powers during the mid-19th century.

The First Opium War was fought from 1839 to 1842 between China and Britain. It was triggered by the Chinese government's campaign to enforce its prohibition of opium, which included destroying opium stocks owned by British merchants and the British East India Company. The British government responded by sending a naval expedition to force the Chinese government to pay reparations and allow the opium trade.[1] The Second Opium War was waged by Britain and France against China from 1856 to 1860, and consequently resulted in China being forced to legalise opium.[2]

How one man took China’s gold
Jan Skoyles - The Real Asset | September 26, 2013 | 5:01 pm Precious Metals China Gold

The story of China and their obsession with gold has been revived this year as monthly data shows the phenomenal volumes imported through Hong Kong and being traded on the Shanghai Gold Exchange.


However, given how much we gold commentators report on China’s inherent love for gold, it’s surprising that very few realise that less than one-hundred years ago the country lost thousands of years’ worth of reserves.


Whilst the 1930s saw the Shanghai Gold Business Exchange as one of the biggest gold centres in the Far East. China’s love for gold left them vulnerable to two separate accounts of looting. The first was in 1937 when Japan invaded China, thus helping themselves to 6,600 tonnes of gold from the then capital Nanking.

However we now turn our attention to a lesser reported looting. The gold that was smuggled out of China to Taiwan between 1948 and 1949 by the soon-to-be-ousted Nationalist party.

In 1948, President of the Kuomintang (KMT) government, Chiang Kai-shek was losing the civil war in north-east China against the Communists. He began planning a retreat to Taiwan and he intended to take the gold reserves with him.

The 1949 retreat of Chiang Kai-shek’s government to Taiwan is a key point in China’s recent history. Not only did it signal a dramatic change in the country’s political and social future but it also left the country with little gold bullion to support any sound money they might have wanted.

Estimates of how much was moved differ between sources, ranging from between 3 million – 5 million taels (113.6 tons – 115.2 tons). In The Archives of Gold published in 2010, Dr Wu Sing-yung, outlines how his father (head of finance for the KMT government) helped to mastermind the operation that saw over 4 million taels of gold be moved from Shanghai to Taiwan. One tael is 37.2 grams.

Central bank governor Yu Hung-chun and the head of finance were ordered by the President to transport the country’s gold from Shanghai to Taiwan.

Covert operation
The first of the gold was moved on December 1 1948, 2 million of the 4.6 million taels held by the Treasury were shipped on the Hai Xing to Keelung in northern Taiwan. The coast guard cutter was escorted by the Mei Ching, a naval vessel. (The Mei ching later defected to the Communist side highlighting the risk of transporting such precious cargo and making Chiang paranoid about who was involved).

By sheer luck a British journalist recorded these first gold reserves leaving Shanghai. When George Vine looked out of his fifth-floor office window he saw manual labourers padding in and out of the central bank, in single file, carrying two parcels on a bamboo pole. From there they walked their parcels up a gangplank onto a freighter that had been moored up outside the ‘Peace hotel’ (according to author William J. Gingles).

Realising the significance of what he was seeing, Sterling Seagrave writes (in The Soong Dynasty) that Vine telegraphed his London office with the not-so cryptic message of ‘all the gold in China was being carried out away in the traditional manner – coolies.’

Later Vine wrote, “I could hardly believe what I saw. Below was a file of coolies padding out of the bank. I could even make out their hats . . . and their uniforms of indigo tunic and short baggy trousers,” as they carried “the wrapped parcels of gold bullion on either end of their bamboo poles” to load onto a ship bound for Taiwan.

Many refused to believe that Chiang could order such a thing but the report by the British journalist still prompted a nationwide bank run.

Just 30 days later the same coast guard cutter used to transport the first 2 million taels, was used once again, this time to transport between 600,000 and 900,000 taels of gold (22-34 tons) and a large amount of silver.

Over the next twelve months the Nationalists moved millions of taels of gold, silver and foreign exchange by both air and sea to Taiwan.

Precious air-freight
Following the December shipments, more of the Treasury’s gold was transported by air. This was after Chiang had received official word that he had lost the mainland. Sources report that in February 1949, nine C-46 military planes each flew 14,600 pounds of gold (6.6 tons) to Songshan airport in Taipei.

The Captain who led the mission had no idea about his precious cargo until he was told by a central bank official who was waiting for him on his plane. The Captain and two other colleagues are both cited as recalling three separate missions similar to that described above. It is estimated that 667,902 ounces were smuggled out of Shanghai in this fashion.

The news of the first of these air-borne missions was leaked to a Hong Kong newspaper. In light of this Chiang ordered that the subsequent two gold transport missions take place in the immediate 48 hours following the first.

A well-kept secret
How did this go on for a year without anyone knowing? Dr. Wu writes that “the movement of gold was entirely controlled by one person, Chiang Kai-shek…Even the finance minister had no power to transfer it. Chiang conveyed his orders verbally, leaving no written record. Only he and my father knew about the movements.’

What happened to the gold?
It is a widely held belief that China’s gold was used to establish the Taiwan we see today. Just six months after the gold operation began, the New Taiwan dollar was launched. It replaced the old Taiwan dollar at a ratio of one to 40,000. It is estimated that 800,000 taels of gold (and US$10 million brought from Shanghai) provided the stability to a country which had suffered hyperinflation since 1945.

The remainder of the gold is believed to have been used to resettle the 1.5 million soldiers and civilians who had fled from China, following Chiang.


The KMT have since confirmed that 2.27 million taels of gold were taken to Taiwan but dispute that this was used as the foundations of Taiwan. However, Chiang’s son, Chiang Ching-Kuo later wrote, ‘if we had not had this gold in the early period of moving the government to Taiwan, it is unimaginable what would have happened. How would we have the stability of today?’

One wonders if the Chinese are now learning from their history. Following the theft of their gold the country became hostage to paper money. Whilst the government of today and the KMT are clearly at polar opposites, when it comes to the respect for gold and the strength it gives an economy, one wonders if they are so different after all.

"Those who have short positions in the New York market are in the process of getting squeezed, especially if they are having trouble getting their hands on physical metal to deliver into their short positions. Or get it into the right form."

That's the big shoe to drop.
There is not enough physical silver mined in a year to cover this short.
If they get called, citi bank could go insolvent. JP Morgan too.

$200oz silver is not out of the question in the short term. Next 18 months.
To throw into the mix, war will end under Trump, but nations will run to rebuild their war capacity and will take massive amounts of silver.
And don't forget Samsungs silver battery.
That alone can be a massive silver rush. If that cat gets out of the bag, I don't know how they can artificially continue to keep silver low for industry. If Elon makes a bid to buy Samsung, it's game on. This battery can be the wet dream EVs need. It's way more sling in development than the graphene battery.
We might see a day where we stop making fun of EV drivers.

I think this is why China has told its people to stop buying gold and load silver. That cursed them back in the day when all nations were loading gold. China took it up the butt hoarding silver. That and opium has had them sucking wind in the world stage untill now. Now that they own the US congress..

And I'd love to see all the paper gold called too. That's almost as bad.,

Gold CoT: Peek Into Future Through Futures, How Hedge Funds Are Positioned

Gold: Currently net long 279.4k, up 24.5k.



Gold has rallied the last three weeks, with this week adding 1.2 percent to $2,749/ounce. This brings the metal to an important juncture, as $2,750s has seen a genuine bull-bear duel the past three months. Last October, gold did proceed to rally past this level and tag $2,802 – a record – on the 30th, but only to then soon lose momentum. By November 14, gold was down to $2,542, before rallying. A rising trendline from that low extends to $2,640s, which is the line in the sand should gold bugs fail to reclaim $2,750s and the yellow metal comes under pressure. After this, other support levels include $2,540s-50s and $2,440s-50s.

NY Gold Futures »» Weekly Summary Analysis
By: Marty Armstrong | January 18, 2025

This market made a new high today after the past 3 trading days. The market opened lower and closed lower. The immediate trading pattern in this market has exceeded the previous session's high intraday reaching 27592. Therefore, this closed lower and it was holding still for the close.

Up to now, we have not broken out and it still remains below our uptrend technical resistance projection which stands at 27890.

Clearly, this market is still above the critical support point at this time, which lies at 26749. Initial support lies at 27087. This market has exceeded intraday 1 of three projected resistance points and it has closed below 2 others. Our underlying pivot providing some support lies at 27410 and a close below this level will warn of a shift to retest support. Up to now, the projected extreme resistance stands at 27709 and 28173.

During the last session, we did close above the previous session's Intraday Crash Mode support indicator which was 26689 settling at 27509. The current Crash Mode support for this session was 27168 which we closed above at this time. The Intraday Crash indicator for the next session will be 27281. Remember, opening below this number in the next session will warn that the market may enter an abrupt panic sell-off to the downside. Now we have been holding above this indicator in the current trading session, and it resides lower for the next session. If the market opens above this number and holds above it intraday, then we are consolidating. Prevailing above this session's low will be important to indicate the market is in fact holding. However, a break of this session's low of 27292 and a closing below that will warn of a continued decline remains possible. The Secondary Intraday Crash Mode support lies at 26669 which we are trading above at this time. A breach of this level with a closing below will signal that a sharp decline is possible.

Intraday Projected Crash Mode Points
Today...... 27168
Previous... 26689
Tomorrow... 27281

This market has not closed above the previous cyclical high of 27613. Obviously, it is pushing against this resistance level.

Up to now, we still have only a 1 month reaction rally from the low established during November 2024. We must exceed the 3 month mark in order to imply that a trend is developing.

ECONOMIC CONFIDENCE MODEL CORRELATION

Here in NY Gold Futures, we do find that this particular market has correlated with our Economic Confidence Model in the past. The Last turning point on the ECM cycle low to line up with this market was 2022 and 2015. The Last turning point on the ECM cycle high to line up with this market was 2024 and 2020 and 2011 and 1996.

MARKET OVERVIEW
NEAR-TERM OUTLOOK

The historical perspective in the NY Gold Futures included a rally from 2015 moving into a major high for 2024, the market has pulled back for the current year. The last Yearly Reversal to be elected was a Bullish at the close of 2024. However, the market has been unable to exceed that level intraday since then. This overall rally has been 2 years in the making.

This market remains in a positive position on the weekly to yearly levels of our indicating models. Pay attention to the Monthly level for any serious change in long-term trend ahead.

The perspective using the indicating ranges on the Daily level in the NY Gold Futures, this market remains moderately bullish currently with underlying support beginning at 27350 and overhead resistance forming above at 27613. The market is trading closer to the resistance level at this time.

On the weekly level, the last important low was established the week of November 11th at 25415, which was down 2 weeks from the high made back during the week of October 28th. We have been generally trading up for the past 4 weeks from the low of the week of December 16th, which has been a move of 6.257%. When we look deeply into the underlying tone of this immediate market, we see it is currently still in a weak posture.

Looking at this from a broader perspective, this last rally into the week of December 9th reaching 27613 failed to exceed the previous high of 28018 made back during the week of October 28th. That rally amounted to only six weeks.

Right now, the market is above momentum on our weekly models hinting this is still bullish for now. Looking at this from a wider perspective, this market has been trading up for the past 9 weeks overall.

INTERMEDIATE-TERM OUTLOOK

YEARLY MOMENTUM MODEL INDICATOR

Our Momentum Models are rising at this time with the previous low made 2023 while the last high formed on 2024. However, this market has rallied in price with the last cyclical high formed on 2024 warning that this market remains strong at this time on a correlation perspective as it has moved higher with the Momentum Model.

Looking at the longer-term monthly level, we did see that the market made a high in October 2024 at 28018. After a twelve month rally from the previous low of 26188, it made last high in October. Since this last high, the market has corrected for twelve months. However, this market has held important support last month. So far here in January, this market has held above last month's low of 25967 reaching 26246.

Critical support still underlies this market at 23260 and a break of that level on a monthly closing basis would warn that a sustainable decline ahead becomes possible. Immediately, the market is trading within last month's trading range in a neutral position.

Gold Continues to See a Barrier
By: Christopher Lewis | January 17, 2025

• The gold market has pulled back a bit in the early hours of Friday in order to confirm the top of the overall consolidation area that we have been in for a while. At this point in time, the market is likely to continue to find buyers on dips.

Gold Markets Technical Analysis

Gold has pulled back just a bit in the early hours of Friday as we are testing the top of a larger consolidation range. The $2,720 level is a significant barrier that we need to pay close attention to. If we can break above there, then the market is likely to go looking towards the $2,800 level again. However, I think we’re probably more likely to see a short term pullback and really, that’s not a bad thing. I think it gives you an opportunity to take advantage of cheap gold and buy the dip.

After all, we had been in a very bullish run for some time and therefore, the sideways action, I think, is likely to continue to have to work off some of this froth from what was a really big move during the year 2024.

The bottom of the range extends all the way down to at least the $2,600 level, if not a little bit lower than that. So, I think really, it’s almost impossible to short gold at this point, even if you knew it was going to fall for a couple of days. All things being equal, gold will have to deal with interest rates, but it also will have to deal with geopolitical issues around the world. So, I think there are a lot of things going on at the same time, and that’s part of why we are taking this break here. Nonetheless, when you look at the chart, it is most certainly in an upward trajectory, and therefore gold remains bullish longer term.

Unusual Situation in Gold & Silver Market May Spark Big Price Moves
By: Money Metals Exchange | January 16, 2025

The monetary metals pulled back sharply yesterday but have entered Tuesday on stable footing. Silver is trading at $29.90 –and gold is $2,674.

The ongoing volatility is a reflection of uncertainty in the gold and silver markets globally, including fears of import tariffs from the incoming Trump administration.

If Trump slaps a tariff of, say, 10% on precious metals coming into the U.S., that would have a huge impact. 10% on silver would amount to $3 per ounce!

As a result of this worry, the price of gold and silver – as traded on the New York futures market – has risen sharply above the prices for the same metals seen simultaneously in other markets across the globe.

In silver, for example, the spread between London spot and New York futures has recently reached as high as $1 per ounce!

This spread has also created a big incentive for parties all over the world to get their gold and silver into the U.S. before any tariffs are imposed.

Traders are buying metal in London, simultaneously selling in the NY futures market (and pocketing a tidy profit), withdrawing the metal from London vaults, and transporting the metal to the U.S. to deliver onto the exchange to close out the futures position.

This dynamic is having the effect of draining London vaults of gold and silver at an unusually fast rate –and at some point, these lower levels of vaulted metal in London could create price dislocations in that major market too.

Those who have short positions in the New York market are in the process of getting squeezed, especially if they are having trouble getting their hands on physical metal to deliver into their short positions. Or get it into the right form.

This situation could lead to big price swings and even a major short squeeze event in gold and/or silver, so you can be confident we'll keep our customers updated at MoneyMetals.com.
