Gold Value and Gold Prices From 1971 to 2021
Gold analyst Gary Christenson, author of the book “Gold Value and Gold Prices From 1971 to 2021“, observes that since June of 2013 there has been a modest downward bias in the gold market but that is changing now.
His chart analysis suggests that gold has most likely bottomed and should rally to new highs in 2015 or 2016. Why? Demand from Asia is strong, mining supply is nearly flat, and excess demand has been met by dishoarding and gold “leasing.” China, India and Russia want more gold and some western countries are requesting the return of their gold stored in New York and London. Current financial and geopolitical anxieties will encourage gold price rallies and additional gold repatriation. The weekly chart of gold prices for the past ten years shows important lows in 2005, 2008, 2011, and 2014 – all separated by about 160 weeks. Note the vertical blue lines and the supportive positions of the over-sold technical indicators, the RSI, MACD, and TDI.
Christenson says there is no guarantee that gold has bottomed and will reach new highs in the next two years, but massive demand, geopolitical anxiety, more war, time cycles, and chart based analysis all suggest that a lasting bottom has been formed and that the probabilities strongly favor continued strength instead of price weakness.

The Wave Principleby Ralph Nelson Elliott
The Elliott Wave Principle is a form of technical analysis that some traders use to analyze financial market cycles and forecast market trends by identifying extremes in investor psychology, highs and lows in prices, and other collective factors. Ralph Nelson Elliott, a professional accountant, discovered the underlying social principles and developed the analytical tools. He proposed that market prices unfold in specific patterns, which practitioners today call Elliott waves, or simply waves. Elliott published his theory of market behavior in this book "The Wave Principle". Elliott stated that "because man is subject to rhythmical procedure, calculations having to do with his activities can be projected far into the future with a justification and certainty heretofore unattainable."
Trading Code is Open: ST Patterns of the Forex and Futures Exchanges, 100% Profit per Month, Proven Market Strategy, Robots, Scripts, Alerts
"The new system of trade—based on structural target patterns (ST patterns™)—presented in this book is able to bring a monthly profit equal to 100% or more (on average) of the deposit amount. To be successful in today’s Forex and Futures markets, most of the knowledge and trading techniques accumulated over the last two centuries are not needed at all.""The technical portion of a profitable trading system only needs to include the ST patterns method. This method of assessing market movements by using target models gives traders clear and unambiguous signals regarding their actions in the present moment. The graphic figures presented here build upon each other iteratively to create a clear picture of market conditions. Unlike the claims of the most popular technical and fundamental analysis methods, the trading system in this book does not predict market behavior. I no longer need any predictions about prices because their movements have become obvious to me. Following the ST patterns method, managing trading positions becomes simple. It took me many years to establish and improve this trading system, and now it is ready to be used by you. I believe that, at the very least, this book can save traders’ time and money. You can spend a whole lifetime in search of the Holy Grail, but it is possible to solve the problems associated with trading in just a few days. The present determines the future!"
