On Aug 7th I noted the EXTREME conditions (technical, sentiment, positioning) in gold & made the case for an extended pullback
That take got a TON of flack but ended up marking the top
The reverse is now true. Here's my bull case for $GC_F
1/
2/ Gold has completed a classic bull market correction from extreme overextension. I wrote about this on Sep 23rd where I talked about the historical tendencies of these types of pullbacks, and why gold would continue to sell off.
A screenshot of that report is below.
3/ We've now seen a:
- Peak to trough drawdown of 20% vs avg of 21%
- We're in the 187th trading day of the correction vs
avg of 255 before new highs
- A dip below the $1,700 level
We bought back in on March 31st after completion of the double-bottom
4/ The EXTREMES in sentiment and positioning that we saw over 8-months ago, have not only been reversed but are now showing EXTREME levels of pessimism.
This is what you want to see for a durable bottom to form.
5/ We've seen massive outflows from gold ETFs since December.
6/ The % of miners trading above their 200-day is turning up from DEEPLY oversold levels (sub 20%).
These types of oversold conditions WHILE in an uptrend tend to be powerful buy signals.
7/ Our Precious Metals Extreme Buy/Sell Signal triggered two back-to-back buy signals last month, which has so far marked the bottom.
8/ Silver continues to outperform gold which is exactly what you want to see in a cyclical PM bull market.
9/ PMs tend to be great technical trading markets. They have high fidelity to their setups
The monthly chart in $SI_F is textbook
This is similar to the compression regime I wrote about in March 2019, when we first turned bullish on precious metals.

10/ Enduring technical bases can take a while to form & there's still a # of things we need to see fall into place
We're long PMs & will keep building positioning as long as the technicals confirm the thesis
