We have eight trading sessions (including today) left this year. Gold has traded long enough over $2000 to justify as buy on crash strategy. 2023 will be first of the many more years in which spot gold will close over $2000. Now $1800 is the lower price base with infinity as price target. Spot silver has the best chance to break $30.00 in 2024 and try the journey for $50.00. Silver has a better sentiment over gold in 2024. Industrial use of silver and preference of silver jewellery over gold jewellery in daily use will ensure rising price in 2024.
How the price behaved in 2023
- Ist week of every month: Various US jobs numbers of previous month.
- Middle of every month: US Inflation (CPI and PPI) number of previous month and/or Federal Reserve meeting and key central bank meetings.
- Last week of every month: US Core PCE inflation number of previous month.
These US numbers impacted interest rate outlook, US dollar Index and US bond yields of varying maturities. Technical factors, volumes, option market bets were all placed on the above three. There were bursts of over optimism and over pessimism in all asset classes and in every major market and emerging market. Technical played the last role. The good things was every asset class saw two way price moves. This 2023 way of price determination will be not there in 2024.
How to trade in 2024
In 2024, there should be very long periods of one way price moves, followed by consolidation and a new trend. From a gold and silver perspective, I believe that gold and silver will see a much more longer period of bullish one way price bets (than most of us expect). Technical 14 day RSI could stay over 80 for a very long period of time before the fall. Price consolidation period (in gold and silver) in 2024 will be far shorter than say 2022 and 2023.
Buy naked call option with quarter end expiry for every quarter of 2024 in gold, silver and even copper. Strike price will depend on option premium and the situation on the day we intend to buy naked call option.
There will not a price correction in 2024 in any asset class and any market. Due to extreme positioning, I expect price of sink as opposed to a correction. A la, prices reaching Marina trench (lowest point in Pacific Ocean) followed by a rise to stratosphere. Losses (if any) could be huge or unthinkable on a bad trading day in 2024. Risk should not be increased due to getting carried away by one way momentum and market chatter and social media posts. Boom period and bust period could be historical in 2024 in all asset classes and all markets.
It is not that every trader makes a profit. Some make a loss as well. Overall profit in trading is good. Occasional losses are a part and parcel of the trading cycle. One needs to ensure that the so-called occasional losses are not severe to erode profit and a percentage of capital combined.
Mental preparation has to be done just at the end of the week (and not daily) in my experience. Less than thirty minutes of mental preparation for the upcoming week will go a long way in increasing profit and reducing the so called occasional losses. At the end week when you do your meditation session, just think of the possible trading combination for the upcoming week and a bit on the trading week that just passed by.
