So here we are again,
Landing at highs on impulsive Gold moves. Times like this bring opportunity for traders who are ready for them and understand the overall natural/long term flow of any market and the movement between buyers and sellers.
Remove your brain from everything you already know and just look at these two points;
- When prices get too high, traders pull out, demand drops, the price comes down.
- When prices get too low, traders buy in, demand increases, the price comes up.
It's just simple economics and trading inline with that principle means that you are going to be trading inline with how the markets always have and always ever will be. In fact, its not just this market, its the car market, the fruit market, the clothes market. You name it, its price swings from higher to lower based on demand.
So when you return back to HIGH prices that you've seen before, ask yourself, why would I buy?
If the voice inside your head said, but Will, what if it goes higher? Then it's a good idea to reply swiftly with it MIGHT go higher, but you sure have a lot of room to the downside first. It's very true it COULD extend into previous highs further but ultimately, inline with the above, it will fall eventually.
Use DCA rules and keep sizes tight to your equity. If you over-leverage on high prices thinking you are the king of all monster falls you will get burnt. So trade lightly and scale in at levels you know are factually high and you've seen have humungous falls from before.
That is how to understand the state of Gold.
