Futures
Erich K. Soltes
Sep 13, 2005
This report will examine Gold
Futures on a daily, weekly and monthly basis. A technical analysis
for each chart will be presented with explanation on where the
security is currently and what needs to occur to maintain the
current position. Additionally, long term and short term support
and resistance price will be provided.
First a little background information on the Alpha Trend Analysis
system. This system has been in development for almost 15 years.
The Alpha Trend is the primary trend line that I created. It
is an adaptive moving average using trigonometric functions.
It is from this primary trend line from which all other formulas
are derived. There are six moving average trend lines that are
used to analyze a security. The short term indicators are upper
and lower bands; these are 2 days in length. The mid term indicator
is the Alpha Trend, indicated by the bold red line, which is
several weeks in length. Lastly are, the one year moving average
which is red colored, the five year moving average which is bright
green colored and the ten year moving average which is black
colored, of the Alpha Trend. In addition to the moving averages
there are six wave bands.
These wave bands are called
Alpha Trend Wave bands they are Fibonacci advance and retracement
of the Alpha Trend. The chart contains two windows. The
top window indicates whether the current position is long, short
or neutral. A long position is indicated by one (1), a short
position is indicated by a negative one (-1) and a neutral position
is indicated by a zero (0). The bottom window contains the securities
information along with the six moving averages. At the very bottom
of the chart the primary trend of either bullish or bearish is
indicated.
Above is the Daily chart for
Gold Futures.
The current position for gold is long with a current sell price
of 450.31. The current trend of Gold is bullish with the Alpha
Trend trending up. Friday's closing price is 1.8719 percent above
the Alpha Trend Support price of 441.7312. The one year moving
average of the Alpha Trend is trending up. Friday's closing price
is 4.9046 percent above the one year moving average of the Alpha
Trend support price of 428.9613. For the last few days Gold has
been approaching the upper band of the 1st Alpha Trend Wave resistance
price of $452.12. The 1st Alpha Trend Wave is rolling over if
Gold can not break through this resistance price we should see
a pullback to the Alpha Trend support price of 441.7312.
Above is the Weekly chart for
Gold Futures.
The current position for Gold is long and the current trend for
Gold is bullish. The Alpha Trend is trending up with Friday's
closing price 4.6451 percent the Alpha Trend Support price of
430.0247. The one year moving average of the Alpha Trend is trending
up with Friday's closing price 6.6401 percent above the one year
moving average of the Alpha Trend support price of 421.9800.
On the weekly chart Gold is approaching the 1st Alpha Trend Wave
resistance price of 452.225. Just as on the daily chart Gold
should be topping out at this resistance price and Gold should
pullback to the Alpha Trend support price 430.02. On the weekly
chart gold has held above the one year moving average of the
Alpha Trend since mid - August of 2001. This trend line is a
major support line currently at 421.98. If Gold is topping out
and the Alpha Trend doesn't hold Gold should hold above 421.98
support price.
Above is the Monthly chart
for Gold Futures.
The current position is long and the current trend is bullish.
The Alpha Trend is trending up with Friday's closing price 8.4361
percent above the Alpha Trend Support price of 414.9908. The
one year moving average of the Alpha Trend is trending up with
Friday's closing price, 13.1797 percent above the support price
of the one year moving average of the Alpha Trend of 397.5978.
Gold has held above the Alpha Trend since December 31, 2001 this
trend line is a major support line currently at 414.99.
In conclusion, Gold has been in a major bull market since the
end of 2001. For those who watch Gold on a daily basis it has
been a madding slow bull market, however this does imply that
this market has much far to go. When the Gold market is viewed
on a weekly and monthly chart the bull market is apparent and
the support prices have held for years. Gold does appear to be
topping in the short term, the first support price is 441.73
after that next support price range is 421.98 - 430.02 this price
range is from both the daily and weekly charts.
