This move indicates that we still have underlying bearish pressure which not allowing buyers to make big move.

After Wednesday we have seen almost flat market and we didn’t see any big move . So the idea of previous report, we can say comes to be neutral .

Now if we look to the latest COT data we can see that  the Money mangers showing some interest this time and adding money into long contracts (+5602) and pulling money from the short contracts (-12095).

If you following this post you already knows that in previous COT report my View was bearish and we have seen a bearish move in last week so the idea of previous COT report comes true on Monday trading session (16/05/2022)  and we have seen a good decline move towards the level of 1786.(24 Dollars Down move).

But after hitting that low Level gold quickly rebound from that major support and remained above this level whole week due to decline on dollar index ,Inflation fear and decline on major stock Indexes.

Now we have latest COT report for this week also and to my surprise it is still showing bearish sentiments from data. As you can see that this time also we have -8359 contracts from the Long position and +10273 in Short contracts (Big Numbers ) and this show us that how smart players are building there positions in the current bullish correction .

COT Report Analysis Gold  May 2022


The only major Factor that currently helping Gold bulls is the DXY chart , In previous week we have seen good decline on the DXY and this move helped Gold to make a good move and Gold hit almost 1850 Level.

From my view I think the levels that we have to watch for is 1852 and 1860 , if Gold not able to breakout these levels then we can have decline towards 1830 and then 1800 from current price(1846) .You can check the resistance zone on H4 Time frame from the following chart :

As we have seen in the previous COT report this time also we can see from the graph that this time also the smart money mangers are still pulling there money from the Long Contracts (-4897 this time) and adding money in the Short contracts (+958) and the graph is still decreasing .Clearly this is not a good sign for bulls and we can expect more decline from this data. In yesterday trading session we have seen that gold already tested the psychological barrier of 1800 but quickly bounced back from this level and closed above this level.

On daily candle and Weekly candle we can clearly see the bearish pressure due to strong DXY upside movement from last 2 weeks .

On weekly the main support is around 1875-90 zone . In the upside as we have seen in yesterday trading session the level 1827-28 is the main resistance .

COT Report Analysis



In previous COT report we have seen the same sentiments and in Last week we have seen a down move (Approx.  62 Dollar down Move) and the idea of previous report comes true.

As we can see some cover up this time also but if we see the relative change in Short contracts then we can say that they are pulling the money but not adding much in short contracts this week .

From my view and from the price action the support area around 1872-1874 is the main level that we have to watch for , if gold able to breakdown this level then we can have more decline toward the price level of 1855 and I am not interested in buy side until 1920-24 is safe in upside.


COT report sentiment :Bearish to Sideways

 

COT Report Analysis 19 April 2022

In previous COT report the sentiments were bullish and gold almost tested the psychological barrier of 2000 (Monday High =1998, total 15 dollars move after the previous analysis), but  after reaching the price level of 1998 sellers aggressively pushed the gold and since that day we have seen sharp decline of price and currently it is trading near to main support (1927).

Now lets discuss the recent COT report data :

Cot report analysis April


If we look into this report (Highlighted under managed money ) we can see that this time Investors pulling money from Long contracts and also adding money into short contracts .

Also as discussed in telegram channel during live trading the Level 1927 is the major support that we have to watch closely .Breakdown of this level can push the price towards the psychological barrier of 1900.

COT Report Analysis March 2022

We have COT report for the last week with us and if you look over to the number of contract in managed money column (Highlighted in Yellow rectangle) you can see that this time also we can see that the number of long contract is decreasing (-6103) in long contract compared to previous COT report (Check previous COT below).

This indicates a bearish sign for gold in terms of COT analysis.
COT Report Analysis March 2022

Also as you can see that currently gold is trading above the support zone (Rectangular area), so I think we can expect decline towards 1900 if gold breakdown this support area and if Hold this Level then we can have retest toward 1944 price Level (VPOC Level).

COT Report Analysis 22 March 2022

COT Report Analysis for gold

We have COT report for the last week with us and if you look
over to the number of contract in managed money column (Highlighted in Red) you
can see that this time also we can see that the number of long contract is
decreasing (-13006) in long contract compared to previous COT report.

Also the number of short contract is found to be decreased
so from the report we can see that Buyer and Sellers both seems to be confused
at the current price Level but if we talk about the overall sentiments then we
can say that this report generates bearish sentiments like the previous COT
report shared in post below.

As discussed in Weekly prediction video the Level of 1964-66
is major level to watch as we have seen rejection over this zone many time in
recent trading sessions, if gold Able to breakout above this then only we can
expect test toward the Next Resistance Zone (1974-75).

Currently gold is trading above the psychological Level and
support of 1950, so the zone at around 1948-50 is currently acting as support
so breakdown below this can generate bearish sentiments.

You can watch the detailed video for important levels

Open Interest Analysis | How to read it Properly ?

Open Interest Analysis | How to read it Properly  

When trading options, we can sometimes get confused within the wide variety of factors, which have an implication in the behaviour of an option such as “open interest”. For this reason, in this post I will analyze the characteristics and functions of this variable within the operation of this type of financial term. 


Investing in options; What is open interest? 

Open interest is the total number of open or pending options and/or contracts that exist at any given time. 

Open interest is commonly associated with the futures and options markets, where the number of existing contracts changes day by day. This differs from the stock market, where a company’s outstanding shares remain constant once the share issue is complete. 

If a buyer and a seller come together and initiate a new position of a contract, then the open interest will increase. If both a buyer and a seller abandon a single contract position in a transaction, the open interest decreases. If a buyer or seller passes on their current position to a new buyer or seller, then the open interest remains unchanged. 

  

Open interest is sometimes confused with trading volume, but the two terms refer to different measures. On a day when a trader who already owns 10 option contracts sells those 10 option contracts to a new trader entering the market, the transfer of contracts does not create any change in the open interest figure for that particular option. No new options contracts have been added to the market, because one trader is transferring his position to another. However, the sale of all 10 option contracts by the holder of the existing option to an option buyer increases the day’s trading volume figure by 10 contracts.

How to read COT Report for Gold

 

How to read COT Report for Gold and
Other Forex Pairs  

The Commitments of Traders (COT) reports can sometimes give
traders a good idea of ​​future significant movements in the market. The CFTC
requires large speculators and commercial traders or hedges to report their net
positions twice a month.

How to read COT Report for Gold



In general, the big speculator category represents fund
traders and professional traders who hold large positions. Commercial traders
also report their net positions to the CFTC. The number of “non-reportable”
positions is calculated by subtracting the number of large speculative and
trading positions from the total open interest. It is widely believed that this
group of traders are small speculators and hedgers who do not hold positions
large enough to report to the CFTC.

COT data for the chart can be found at
https://www.barchart.com/futures/commitment-of-traders .

 

How to read COT Report for Gold


COT data in the Gold chart | How to read COT Report

The results of the COT report can be used as a tool to give
traders a better understanding of the psychology of the marketplace, the net
position of the commercials in the market and the net position of the major
traders. Large traders (funds) are usually trend followers and will add or
liquidate their positions depending on the technical action of the market since
the report release date.

There are many different ways to analyze the reports, but we
believe that for the most part, the major traders’ net position and the
‘position change’ over a two-week period are the most important numbers to
watch. Remember that the small trader’s net position is typically subject to
either long liquidation or short coverage when the market begins to move
against them.

 

As a result, a classic bullish setup for a given market
would be when large traders are net long and small traders are net short. The
market is in a weakened bullish setup “when” the two-week trend of the large
trader’s position is bearish, or in other words, when the funds are about to
unwind their net long position. This is a warning flag. The larger the small
trader’s net short position (compared to history) and the extent to which small
traders hold a position “against” the trend are factors that will
contribute to the bullishness of the report.

 

Assets for the COT report for Gold and
other Pairs | 
How to read COT Report

There is a classic bearish market setup when large traders
are net short (bearish if they have increased position in the last two weeks)
and small traders are net long in the market (bearish if the net -Long position
is relatively large and the trend is decisively down). One exception we’ve
noticed lately is the ability of the small trader in T-Bonds to spot the right
direction in the market. It is also important that the futures and options COT
report (which will be released a day later) confirms the situation indicated by
the futures only report.

 

What does the COT report say? How to take
benefits from this report for Gold and other pairs

The report is published weekly on Friday evenings by the
Commodity Futures Trading Commission . The report breaks down the volume of
purchases and sales into three groups: commercial, non-commercial and
non-reporting deals.

The biggest power in the marketplace are the commercials.
These are the major users and producers of the commodity. They do not use the
commodity markets to speculate or make money directly from the markets. They
are the producers and users of the goods. So they sell forward or hedge their
production/demand. They use the markets to sell and supply, not speculate.

There are the non-reporters, probably people like you…
people who trade in smaller volumes; the average trader. Interestingly,
sometimes their record in certain markets is very good, but more often than not
they are wrong.

Every week we find out exactly what the big ones were up to
in the marketplace… but it’s not quite that simple.

The non-commercials are the second most important figure in
the report. These are not quite what you think. It’s not just big traders like
me.

How to use the COT data? or How to read COT report

If you study this much, you will come across something
called the COT Index or Commercials Index. Most followers of the Commitments of
Traders Reports now use this index…

 

How to read COT Report for Gold


Despite what you may have read from other traders (people
who have only been looking at the index for a few years), it is not a black and
white situation. Just because the commercials, the biggest players in the
market, have emerged as buyers doesn’t mean a market will recover. How can this
be true?
