The Weekly Call provides perspective on high-quality setups and trading strategies focused in the Commodity world. My current performance shows a 463% return since October 2016. The purpose of this blog is to demonstrate how to swing trade futures using our methodology to select high-quality setups and manage the trade with our risk management approach.
Commodities have been bullish due to a number of factors. The devaluation of the USD, speculative buying as a result of inflation, lower supplies, adverse weather. In summary we have see some great price action and great setups. More is coming as we have consolidated in Grains, Metals, Meats, Softs and Energies. We have seen the highest PPI in the US since 2010 which is a sign of inflation and more of the same is expected which should continue the rally in commodities which means more speculative buying. In summary across other markets, Coffee is still very bullish into November; Sugar is on the way to $21; Natural Gas is demonstrating the new future trend is bullish, is in need of a pull back, but may see as high as $8 before this initial legg higher completes; Gold has consolidated from the USD retrace and is poised to rally as DX should continue to devalue due to stimulus. Look for the bullish super cycle for commodities to continue.

Gold
12-27 – Continuation higher expected in Gold and the support trend line needs to hold into 1920 or so before a pull back will ensue. Gold should set up with neg D here in a higher high and any pull back is a buying opportunity. For 2021, expect to see inflation support Gold prices.
1-3 – Continuation higher still expected as we have not yet seen 1920ish target and a new swing high. Once seen this week we should see a pull back and another buying opportunity into 70 by mid January then the next major swing higher into March. I am bullish commodities in general in 2021, especially metals and Gold.
1-10 – New swing high as expected, the POP then the DROP as expected also and beyond retrace target at 1870-50ish. This represents a buying opportunity so adding to existing positions here is suggested. We can still see positive D set up on RSI so a marginal lower low is possible. Looking for a reversal this week and a move higher into March and 2100s possible.
1-17 – Gold is likely turning here and I am expecting the next legg higher to start this week. A double bottom is almost here and if seen positive D is a strong long setup. DX may be reversing as if seen that will support gold prices.
1-24 – Higher prices as expected last week and we are in a small retrace here which should hold weekly pivot. Looking for continuation higher this week. DX may have broken lower and should see $88 – GC must hold 1815 this week and we are at a decision point here Monday.
1-31 – Broken flag and a retest of flag resistance trend line and higher highs expected. DX is finding resistance at the trend line and if that resistance holds, look higher in GC. 1815 still support and looking for it to hold this week.
2-7 – Last week 1815 broke which opened the next support area at the monthly S1 which is where we are now. We can see a turn without positive D on RSI or we will see a lower low and a turn. The decision to watch is 1821 – if resistance likely the low will be retested and possibly a lower low.
2-14 – Gold broke 1821 last week and also broke the trend line. Chances are we have just retested the low and should see an impulse and higher highs this week. DX has already reversed and lower low coming. Gold getting ready for 2000 and beyond. It is possible to see a lower low here and if seen it is a buying opportunity.
2-21 – Gold putting in a bottom here with positive D on RSI. Key for this week is a rally through the trend line at 1800. DX has reversed and lower to $88 should play out. This is a decent buying opportunity.
2-28 – Gold failed to rally through 1800 and has made a larger three down. Support trend line at 1705 which must hold or we open 1636. 1800 still my main marker for the rally to confirm and I am still bullish Gold this year, no long term change in forecast as we are finishing a retracement pattern.
3-7 – Gold may be turning here for at least a bounce as we have a positive D setup here on RSI. Convert the trend line at 1760 and we have the next leg higher confirmed. OF we find resistance we can open the larger three down target at 1638. Gold is in a bull flag and I am expecting it to break up.
3-14 – Gold may have reversed, no confirmation yet on the structure which requires a conversion of 1755. If seen Gold will turn trend up. Requirements are USD to drop and the 10 yr yields to stay between 1.25-1.70.
3-21 – Gold may have reversed and a confirmation is coning on a conversion of the declining resistance trend line. We convert 55 we have a confirmed turn and higher highs to come. No inflation scare yet but this will eventually come to pass later this year.
3-28 – Gold now is compressed and about to break, direction is likely higher then typical triangle dynamics would see a retest back into the triangle then higher highs expected. Looking for a significant move this week on Gold and also the USD.
4-4 – Gold’s low retest is in and now the bulls are in “must perform”mode. DX is setup short and continuation lower going to press precious metals higher. This week we need to hold 1705 as support and see a new swing high above 1755.
4-11 – Gold has seen the bull perform as expected. DX has started it’s next legg lower too. At this point DX needs a pull back and lower and we should see that mirrored on GC. Monthly pivot is support at 1716 and higher into 1850 is expected next.
4-17 – Gold has broken up and should not continue higher into the 1850 area. Support is now at the trend line which must hold. The USD has broken lower and 88.50 is next so more upside is expected in Gold.
4-25 – Gold may see a small pull back here in the way to 1850. More downside expected in the USD and more upside expected in Gold. More volatility expected in stocks and indexes so we may see a rotation in the coming weeks into metals.
5-2 – Three down and monthly pivot support here. Looking for a rally and a reversal in the USD. It is possible to see 1716 as a deeper retest depending on what the USD does. Longer term forecast for DX is lower and GC is higher. Next stop is 1850 and the trend line.
5-9 – Payroll numbers Friday were much weaker than expected which resulted in the USD dropping and GC had a nice rally. We have made the 1850 target as discussed. Next step is a retrace and then a break and conversion of the declining resistance trend line.
5-16 – Gold is now against the 1850 trend line and I am looking for it to convert. We may first see the support tend like at about 1800 before seeing 1850 break. This is another chance to accumulate Gold for the next rally higher as the USD continues it’s devaluation lower.
5-23 – A pull back is still expected on Gold, nothing significant here in terms of a pull back and needs a rest on RSI before the next major step higher occurs. Look for a support test at 50 or 35 this week and higher highs into 1900 next.
5-30 – A small push expected and a long over due pull back into 50. Still bullish Gold and expecting higher highs into 1930 next.
6-6 – Last week we saw DX head higher which cause the retrace into the 50 area. From here DX should drop to new lows and 1930 is next. Current support is 1835, expecting a rally this week.
6-13 – Consolidation last week and should continue in a trading range between 1930 1864. Lean is 1930 next – retest – then higher highs.
6-20 – FOMC and the USD news reaction has pressed Gold lower than expected. We have broken the flag and the trading range as mentioned last week. This a news reaction so price action and the dominate trend is expected to play out next. We can see resistance at the 150 DMA and lower lows, while this is possible, watch DX for clues, as we can break up directly. Fundamental trend is still intact and I am still bullish Metals and Gold.
6-27 – A consolidation last week and also on DX. I am still expecting a move higher into July 20th. 1830 is current resistance and also where the 150 DMA is located. I am expecting a test there and we can still see lower prices to complete this retest. Overall still bullish metals and Gold.
7-4 – A pop in gold is expected into the 1820-30 area and a retest of the 150 DMA. If we convert it, we see higher directly. USD needs to drop which it is set up to do so this week. An important decision on DX at $91 and Gold in the 1820-30 area will decide if we see wave C lower to 1700 on Gold.
7-11 – Close to the 1820 area and we have turned a little early. Broken trend line support being retested. Either we see 20-30 or we see 90 as support and high. If 90 fails we can se a deeper move into 1710 so mind your stops here.
7-18 – Gold in a pull back and watch 90 as support. If it holds we head higher directly. If we convert 90, then a retest of the low should take place. Overall still bullish Gold.
7-25 – Three down flag is holding 1790 and if it continued to hold, look for a higher high to come later this week. DX may see 93.50 or can turn directly lower. USD devaluation should continue.
8-1 – Nice rally and broken resistance trend line, looking for monthly pivot as support. DX has dropped and should continue to do so. Looking for a high around 8-3 and a retest expected before the next major impulsive wave begins.
8-8 – Friday’s Payroll numbers surprised to the upside and metals were impacted which is a temporary pull back. We will likely see a marginal lower low into 1734 and perhaps strong support at 1720. This is a buying opportunity as the USD is currently at resistance and I am expecting another legg lower on DX which means a rally here on GC. Watch for positive D on RSI here on Gold.
8-15 – Gold has converted the 1770 area and is testing resistance at 81. The USD is getting ready to retest the high so watch Gold for support at 1760, if this holds then the turn is in on Gold. If it breaks we likely see a retest of the low and a USD higher high. Decision early this week.
8-22 – Gold is testing support and the 1760-70 area must hold to see higher highs directly. USD is close to making a high and I am expecting a USD turn this week which means higher GC. I like miners long here.
8-29 – Gold testing and possibly will convert the declining resistance trend line this week and if seen, look for a solid rally into January as DX should continue lower.
9-5 – Declining resistance trend line converted as expected and now likely the first 5 up is done as a first impulse. Look for a retracement back into the 1800 area ad the broken trend line.
9-12 – Back test in Gold is close to complete, we can see a retest of the current swing low and as far as the monthly pivot. DX has also retested and looking for DX to start the next legg lower which should power metals higher. This is a spot to accumulate metals.
