Here is a quick bullish trade idea on gold.
Gold has been trending downwards in 3 defined channel (2 in the pictures) (I am using channels as rough definition for 2 trending lines, not necessarily in a symmetry). However, during the past few days, Gold futures moved beyond the short-term downward trending channel.
So what’s next?
The first real test is yesterday’s high. if Gold futures can close above that, I think there is high probability it is heading towards 1700-1705 before meeting the next resistance which is defined by another intermediate channel.
If Gold can continue to move past the intermediate down trending resistance line, there is increased likelihood that we might see 1750 sooner than later.
How to trade-
I shall prefer to trade this move via vertical debit spread which then I will continue to roll upwards as gold prices continue to move from zone 1 (~1,700-1,705) to say zone 2 (~1,740-1,750). For zone 1, I shall prefer a March (40days to expiration) 1700/1710 bull call spread (roughly $3.50 debit/$6.50 max gains) and once Zone 1 is cleared, I shall prefer a 1725/1750 bull call spread.
Stop Loss- If however, Gold futures drops below 1666, I shall book whatever the loss maybe and re-enter the trade only when it can move past yesterday’s high.
