Gold approaching record high as instability fuels switch to physical assets


Ever since the very first items were made from gold over 3,500 years ago in the ancient Egyptian period, this particular precious metal has been held in high esteem as a means of storing a potentially appreciating physical asset.

Throughout the ages, whenever an ancient kingdom came under siege, its population would attempt to accumulate gold.

As time developed, and the industrialization of the world began, gold became a benchmark for investment, and has been constantly regarded as one of the most reliable physical commodities available on the global markets. Even in modern times, when a war occurs, or a political catastrophe, people buy gold.

These past few days have been no exception.

During the course of yesterday (March 8, 2022), gold prices rallied and headed toward an all-time high.

In the United States, by 12.10pm Eastern Standard Time (New York), the trading price of gold had risen by a remarkable 3.5% to $2,068.07 an ounce, which brought it near to its record trading value of $2072.50 which was set in the summer of 2020 during the period in which lockdowns were omnipresent across Europe and America, and fears of losing jobs and private property were widespread.

Those fears are here again, this time fueled by heavy-handed sanctions which are decimating the markets across America and Europe. The US stock market is suffering a tech stock obliteration which is beginning to cause analysts to compare it to the 'dot com' collapse of the early 2000s.

This is a very sudden new direction. Tech stocks were the solid, relatively low-risk investment for most investors and traders all the way from those trading part-time from home, to large hedge funds and wealth managers.

Now, with these in decline, the mainstay of the US economy is being measured and global investors are heading for the hard collateral that is precious metal.

Even nickel, which is used in engineering across most heavy industrial applications worldwide from car manufacturing to construction, has been soaring in price to the extent where pricing has become so difficult in the live market that the London Metal Exchange (LME) has suspended its trading.

One report this morning stated that a Chinese investor is facing losses running into the multi-billion-pound range as a result of the volatility in which nickel soared by as much as 111% to a record $101,365, followed by a two-day increase of up to 250% before falling back to $82,250 a tonne.

The London Metal Exchange has been pricing nickel for over 145 years, and yesterday's volatility was an all time record in the entire trading history of the venue.

Precious metals are therefore in huge demand, and gold is unique in that it is primarily used as a store of value, compared to other high-demand metals like copper and nickel whose primary use is in manufacturing and engineering.

Today, Reuters has explained that one particular futures trader had cited the combination of extremely inflationary energy prices, grain prices and base metal prices has contributed the major underlying support behind gold having increased so much in value.

Certainly investors are hanging onto physical assets, and those metals with an engineering use are rocketing due to the difficulties in obtaining them for factories to be able to meet the demand for their products or remain in business without having to halt production, leaving gold as an outright store of value which is heading for all time highs.

Fascinating market moves brought on by highly well analyzed circumstances.

Bitcoin: Bullish Reversal Seen Above $44,000


Bitcoin continues to move in a mildly bullish momentum with an upwards projection towards the level of 48,000 in the European trading session today.

In the immediate short term, we are expecting a continuation of this bullish trend, with the prices of bitcoin ranging between $48,000 and $49,000 as it has entered into a consolidation phase now.

The drop in the level of BTCUSD that we saw last week happened due to the profit-taking by short-term investors.

The immediate short-term outlook for bitcoin is mildly bullish; the medium-term outlook is bullish; and the long-term outlook remains neutral under present market conditions.

The price of BTCUSD is now facing its classic resistance level of 46,735, and Fibonacci resistance level of 46,802, after which the path towards 48,000 will get cleared.

We can see that the daily RSI is also printing at 62 which indicates that in the medium-term, the prices are expected to appreciate further.

In the last 24hrs, BTCUSD has gone UP by 1.51% with a price change of $692, and has a 24hr trading volume of USD 30.612 billion. We can see an increase of 8.03% in the trading volume as compared to yesterday, which appears to be normal.

The Week Ahead

The price of bitcoin is now moving into a consolidation phase below $48,000. We can see some range-bound movements in the levels between $46,000 to $48,000.

The hourly RSI has also confirmed the rising trend channel which indicates that in the medium-term, prices are expected to move closer to the level of $50,000.

The on-chain metrics are also suggesting that after the present consolidation phase is over, we are aiming towards crossing the $50,000 handle.

In the immediate short term, bitcoin’s bullish momentum is expected to continue pushing above the $49,000 handle this week.

The prices of BTCUSD will need to remain above the important support level of $47,500 this week.

Weekly outlook is projected at $50,000 with a consolidation zone of $48,500.

Equity Indices Remain Bid as America Awaits New Fiscal Stimulus

Last week brought little or no movements on the financial markets. The VIX index, which measures volatility, dropped to levels not seen so far during the pandemic.

The lack of important economic data contributed to this environment. With a few exceptions, like the CPI or the inflation data in the United States, all other data was second- or third-tier. Effectively, it means that the focus was on the stock market’s price action. This week will likely be the same as it starts with a holiday (i.e., Presidents’ Day in the United States) and no important data until next Friday when the European PMIs are released. Click here If you want to know more.

There is a special index that measures the volatility of the entire broad market. In the investment community, it is known as the VIX or "fear index".

This index is calculated by the Chicago Board Options Exchange on option contracts for the S&P 500 Index. As a result, it reflects investors' expectations of possible volatility for the coming month. Simply put, the VIX index shows the level of fear investors have about the future of the market.

The VIX chart is like an inverted S&P 500 index. Consequently, when the market is rising, the fear index falls. But during periods when the market tends to go down, the fear level gets higher. Moreover, the faster and stronger the decline in the S&P 500, the stronger the rise in the VIX.

I haven't watched the latest news, but I think the "fear index" has reached unprecedented heights because of recent events..

ETH is now trading just above its pivot level of $3,223 and moving in a mildly bullish channel. The price of ETHUSD is now testing its classic resistance level of $3,235 and Fibonacci resistance level of $3,246, after which the path towards $3,400 will get cleared.

We saw last week that the bullish move was invalidated above the $3,500 handle, and this week, we are looking at the level of $3,400. If ETH manages to cross and remain above these levels, then we can see $3,500 and $3,600 next week.

Ethereum is now slowly recovering against the US dollar, and we can see the formation of an ascending contraction triangle which means that the prices are due to break out upwards.

The price has entered a consolidation channel above the $2,700 handle; we are in a mildly bullish phase in the European trading session.

We can clearly see a rounding bottom pattern above the $2,700 handle, which is a bullish pattern signifying the end of a bearish phase and the start of a bullish phase in the markets.

ETH is now trading just above its pivot level of $2,924 and is moving in a mildly bullish channel. The price of ETHUSD is testing its classic resistance level of $2,948 and Fibonacci resistance level of $2,966, after which the path towards $3,100 will get cleared.

The relative strength index is at 63 indicating a STRONG demand for Ethereum and the continuation of the bullish trend.

Both the StochRSI and Williams percent range are indicating an overbought level which means that the prices are due to decline in the short term.

All of the technical indicators are giving a STRONG BUY market signal.

All of the moving averages are giving a STRONG BUY signal, and we are now looking at the levels of $3,200 to $3,350 in the short-term range.

ETH is now trading above both the 100 hourly and exponential MAs.

• Ether: bullish reversal seen above the $2,700 mark
• Short-term range appears to be mildly BULLISH
• The daily RSI is below 50 at 45, indicating a NEUTRAL market

Ether: Bullish Reversal Seen Above $2,700


ETHUSD is now moving in a mildly bullish channel, with the price trading above the $2,900 handle in the European trading session today.

Ethereum’s demand is increasing, which is leading to a slow rise in its levels, and now we are looking at the immediate targets of $3,000 and $3,150.

ETHUSD is now facing its immediate resistance level of $3,149 and $3,203, after which we will see a linear progression towards $3,300. The key support levels to watch are $2,869 and $2,880, and the price of ETHUSD need to remain above these levels for the continuation of the bullish trend.

ETH has gained 1.88% with a price change of 54.35$ in the past 24hrs, and has a trading volume of 17.239 billion USD.

We can see a decrease of 16.56% in the total trading volume in the last 24 hrs, which appears to be normal.

The Week Ahead

We can see the formation of a bearish harami pattern in the 15-minute timeframe, which indicates a potential short-term reversal in its levels. This is also confirmed by the MA200 crossover pattern located at $2,964 and $2,943.

The transaction fees of Ethereum continue to decline by more than 90% in a period of 6 months. At present, the average transaction fee is about $5.80.

The on-chain metrics are also indicating a bullish scenario for Ethereum in the medium-term range with a projection level of $3,800 to $4,000.

The immediate short-term outlook for Ether has turned mildly BULLISH; the medium-term outlook has turned neutral; the long-term outlook for Ether is NEUTRAL in present market conditions.

This week, Ether is expected to move in a range between $3,000 and $3,200, and next week, Ether is expected to enter a consolidation phase above the level of $3,200.
