Gold: Futures Trading Data

The current 2020-2023 gold chart structure shown below is what would typically be called a triple top formation. This by itself does not necessarily confirm that a decline is expected. The underlying futures trading data behind this structure is important. In September 2021 and October 2023 Engrbytrade™ futures trading data calculations show that traders have been positioning their trades with the expectation of a long term decline. Similar moves occurred in 2012, and 1994-1995 as identified by arrows in the charts below.

On October 12, 2023, it was noted that a decline structure setup going into the last quarter of 2023 is similar to what occurred in 2018.

Interest Rates/S&P500: Stock Market Decline Setup

On October 5, 2018 the 10-Yr note interest rate closed within range of the 127.20% Fibonacci value in the first chart structure shown below before turning and starting a decline. On October 5, 2023 the 10-Yr note interest rate closed above the 127.20% Fibonacci value in the second chart structure shown below. The two charts carry a similar underlying characteristic based on 10-Yr Non-Commercial futures trader’s positions shown in the third chart below. This type of interest rate positioning by futures traders indicates a quick move down (minimum of 5%) in the S&P500 is expected.

Similar readings were received in the 10-Yr Non-Commercial futures trader’s positions on June 29, 2004 and April 13, 2010. After June 29, 2004 the S&P500 dropped 6.2%. After April 13, 2010 the S&P500 moved sideways until May 4, 2010 when a “flash crash” occurred leading to a 5.6% decline in May 2010.

As of October 7, 2023, the S&P500 started a quick consolidation phase prior to moving higher. This could change quickly with a sharp decline, which appears to be what is expected by bond traders. Additional trading data will be needed to determine a change of direction.
