Transcript of The Gold Selloff just got much worse. (CPI revealed something big)
TraderNick
0:00Today, markets were rocked by a higher0:02thanex expected CPI report. And if we're0:05going to be honest, gold looks a little0:07rocky here, sitting at a support level,0:10but ultimately continuing to put in0:12lower highs and a potential lower low.0:16The inflation report today is sending0:18the dollar higher and maybe equally, if0:21not more important, yields are soaring.0:24And what this is telling you is that0:26expectations are now squarely focused on0:30more Fed rate hikes. And rate hikes are0:33a in the short term, especially in the0:35context of an economy that the Fed sees0:38as resilient enough to hike rates in, a0:41predominantly bearish thing for precious0:43metals and also for stocks. If we're0:46looking at stocks here, stocks are0:48holding up okay. I mean, there was a big0:50drop here. We were positive this morning0:52and gave back all of those gains and uh0:54more here with S&P 500 at the time0:57recording this in the red. Same thing0:59with the NASDAQ. We saw a big drop here1:01on the NASD. And again, the main thing1:03here is this dollar strength. I mean,1:05this is up.57%.1:08That's a big move for the DXY. Uh and1:10completely crushing other currencies1:12here today, as well as sending gold and1:14silver down sharply. Silver is down 4%1:18at the time of recording this, while1:19gold down around 1.5.1:23So, here's the catalyst of the day. The1:25consumer price index year-on-year came1:27in at 3.7%1:29versus expectations of just 3.6%. Now,1:33you might say, okay, so what? It was a1:34little hotter than expected. But it1:37wasn't just on the headline overall uh1:40inflation report. It was also in core1:42CPI. core CPI came in higher than1:46expected at 2.6%.1:48And this tells you that not only did1:50higher oil prices contribute to higher1:53inflation, the core CPI coming in uh1:56higher also tells you that there's1:59inflation that is not even attached to2:02the oil story which is structurally an2:05issue because it means the Fed will try2:08to work on the core CPI stuff uh which2:11is now decisively moving in the wrong2:13direction. I mean, inflation is now2:15trending higher, and let's remind2:17ourselves, we are 5 years since we've2:20last been at the Fed's target inflation2:22rate of 2%. So, not only are we 5 years2:25away with uh the willingness of the2:28Federal Reserve rising to try and fight2:30this inflation report, we're moving2:32further away from that target. So, what2:35is the natural response from Fed2:37officials? Well, here is your answer.2:39Look at the two-year yield, which2:40closely tracks what's going on with the2:42Federal Reserve and what officials are2:44likely to vote in favor of doing next.2:46This is a 15minute candle, and you can2:49see it is just a binary event. We had a2:53straight upshoot on the inflation report2:55telling you that basically the market2:58thinks the Fed's going to hike rates.3:00Now, again, if you're a fan of precious3:01metals, uh, then this is probably3:04something you're looking at. You're3:05like, "Oh gosh, so this is going to send3:06gold and silver much lower." And if you3:08like them for the long term, then maybe3:10that's good news to you. But if you like3:12them in the short term, it's probably3:13not as good news because again, higher3:15inflation, a stronger dollar, higher3:17yields, higher rates. These things are3:20bearish forces on gold that are not3:22letting up right now in 2026. And just3:25as a quick reminder, 2025 was the exact3:27opposite. We had cooling economic data,3:29cooling jobs data, and uh inflation was3:32cooling nicely because there wasn't a3:34conflict in the Middle East, sending3:35prices soaring. And so you have this3:38complete staunch opposite effect where3:41cooling inflation, cooling interest3:43rates was a powder keg for gold in 20253:47and the exact opposite is true in 2026.3:51Now I want to show you something because3:54if you know your macro, this should not3:56have blindsided you in 2026 because if4:00you have been watching, I'll pat myself4:02on the back here physically really4:03quick. I was super long in gold in in4:052025. It was a phenomenal year for me4:08because I was very long gold. And in4:112026 when I flipped to the short side,4:14people thought it was crazy. Now, I4:15didn't play gold perfectly by any means4:17this year. And I don't want to come4:18across that way, but I did catch the4:20runup in gold and then I caught the4:22short side this year. And I will show4:24you exactly how I did that. Okay. So,4:26every day on EdgeFinder, we record4:29scores. Now, if you don't know what4:30Edgeinder is, it's a macro screening4:32software. It looks at all the inflation4:34reports, CPIs and non-farm payrolls and4:37PMIs and retail sales. It looks at all4:39these data points and it culminates it4:41all together to build a score. That4:43score is the basis to whether I am4:45bullish or bearish on precious metals,4:47stocks, etc. You can of course select4:49whatever you want from our list and pull4:51up historical scores. What I'm showing4:53you here is a nononsense, no hindsight,4:56uh, you know, no, you know, just a4:59straight context of when edgefinder5:00flipped from bullish to bearish. You can5:02see in 2025 we were only bullish. There5:06was bullish signal after bullish signal5:07after bullish signal from edgefinder.5:09And then for the first time in 2026 we5:13started to get more of a bearish read5:15and things flipped the other direction.5:18And that ultimately was picked up on not5:21by discretion, not by bias, not by5:24magic, you know, candlestick charts, but5:27purely macro data flipping the other5:30direction. If you want to be a macro5:32trader, having the right tools to track5:34what the macro is actually doing is5:36imperative for this very reason. I can't5:39tell you how much money I probably saved5:41by just following my system and flipping5:44from this super never-ending bull trend5:46that we saw in 2025 to a bearish one in5:492026. That was one of the best trading5:51decisions I ever made was simply ceasing5:54to be as bullish and flipping more into5:56a neutral to now more of a bearish5:59stance. As of right now, I'm a little6:01bit more neutral on gold, but I am6:03watching to see if this signals a6:05bullish or bearish flip going forward.6:07Again, if you're newer to EdgeFinder,6:09let's take a look at what this data is6:11actually tracking. If we go to our top6:14setups page here, what you can see is6:16it's tracking a long laundry list of6:18items like trend and sentiment analysis6:20like macro uh or I'm sorry, technical6:23trends, seasonal trends, the commitment6:25of traders data trends. It's looking at6:27crowd sentiment and what retail is6:28doing. It's also looking at GDP6:30statistics, PMIs, retail sales, consumer6:32confidence, inflation reports. It's6:35mapping all of this out and perfectly6:38caught in 2025 and 2026, both the6:41uptrend and the downtrend. Having a6:43simple system like this to track this6:45stuff helped me to make way better6:47decisions in my gold trading. If you6:49don't have EdgeFinder, now is a really6:51good chance to try it out. If you scan6:53the QR code that you see on the screen6:54right now, you can try it for free and6:56it also comes with if you, you know,6:58sign up for this, it comes with a free7:00course on how to set up EdgeFinder.7:02There is no credit card required. There7:04is nothing of that nature. It is a7:06genuinely free way to explore the tool,7:09get some more insights about what we7:10offer as a, you know, a team here at A1.7:13Uh, we build these tools for thousands7:14of traders around the world. And if you7:16want to take your macro to the next7:17level, here's your chance. So, as it7:19stands going forward, the inflation7:20report pretty much killed any chances7:22for me to start to look for bullish7:24setups. We also see it on the technical7:26front. The chart just straight up looks7:28ugly here. Every time you get some kind7:30of a rally going in gold, it's getting7:32met with selling pressure. And the7:35failure to once again hold this 42007:38area of resistance and now pressing back7:40down to the lows has me more thinking.7:42the probability of this thing heading7:44back down to retest 4,000 and into the7:473000s is probably a pretty good one.7:49Now, I don't have any short trades on7:51and like I said, my current outlook on7:53gold is neutral according to my system.7:56So, I have no willingness to short the7:58market on gold or anything like that.8:00But I am watching it because being in a8:02ready position means if this score flips8:04to bearish or it flips to bullish, then8:06I may look for some opportunities to8:09take a position. So watching gold and8:11really curious on the 4 hour chart if we8:14actually break through these lows guys8:16if this takes if we get you know taken8:18out to the downside here then I do think8:20from a technical analysis perspective a8:22flush is probably coming. Now, of8:25course, tomorrow we have the producer8:26price index numbers which could either8:28further, you know, kind of exacerbate8:31the pain here to the downside or maybe8:33act to resolve a little bit. If the8:35inflation tomorrow is cooler than8:36expected, um then perhaps that undoes a8:39little bit of the damage done today. But8:40the challenge is that you have on the8:42CPI report, which is maybe the most8:44market moving of the three major CPI,8:46PPI, and PCE. Um really coming in with a8:50a you know, a bat over the head in terms8:52of this inflation story, which again8:54decisively puts the Fed more in the8:56direction of, hey, they're probably8:57going to hike rates to fight this8:58inflation. And in the short to9:00medium-term, that is a bearish pressure9:02on gold, given that they also think the9:04economy can support further rate hikes.9:06Further rate hikes are a direct9:08competition to gold. If you think about9:10this, bonds becoming more richly9:13offering yield is not a great look for9:16the same crowd which often loves to buy9:17and hold precious metals as a you know9:20alternative in their portfolio.

Thank you to Ola10:52Prime for sponsoring today's video. Now,10:54back to the content. Taking a look at10:55NASDAQ, also looking structurally weak10:57for a change. I mean, the NASDAQ has10:59been uh pretty pretty resilient here11:02recently, but we just lost a major level11:04of support. Check this out. If we're11:05looking at our past level of resistance,11:08I've been calling for a little bit more11:09um caution in the stock market in my own11:12portfolio. I have also been on record11:14here talking about how I am pretty heavy11:16in uh cash in my portfolio. Um,11:19specifically I have a cash equivalent11:22which is uh for those who care an ETF11:25called ESG. It is a way to effectively11:28hold cash in you know threemon treasury11:30bills uh and kind of collect some kind11:32of income on that. So I I'm I'm really11:35very much thinking that we have the11:37recipe here for um what I believe to be11:40a little bit of a pullback in the11:42markets. I'm not a big fan of trying to11:43call crashes or anything like that, but11:46let's just look at the facts here when11:48it comes to where we're at from a macro11:50perspective on some of the stock market11:52stuff. And before I continue, I want to11:54make sure I give some flowers to my good11:57friend uh Allen, who is short the12:00Russell like an absolute beast. Now, if12:03you don't know who Allen is, Allan comes12:04on our live streams, very very uh well12:07spoken trader and friend of mine in the12:09trading space. He also does some work12:10here within our Discord and shares all12:12of his trade alerts and he is killing it12:15on the Russell short ideas. Um has been12:18trading this to the downside for again12:20he's a macro trader too for the same12:21reasons we're talking about. Higher12:23yields are disproportionately painful12:26for companies that more reliant or are12:29more reliant on borrowing costs. Um and12:31so the Russell has been a clean short12:33opportunity on Russell. Uh, I'm sorry.12:36Uh, the edgefinders Russell idea has12:38been a clean short opportunity for some12:40time. Look at this score history. And we12:42can pull up our new indicator. I want to12:43show you this on the Russell. Like, it12:45is picture perfect. Look at this. If I12:47turn on my score flip lines. Boom. Like,12:50look at how clean the short idea has12:52been. Again, shout out to Allan for that12:55wonderful short position. If you guys12:56would like to see the trades that we're12:57taking, the link is in the description12:59down below to sign up for that VIP13:00membership. Um, but I do like the13:02Russell to the short side. I wouldn't13:03mind joining uh Allen and others in this13:06idea. Uh specifically, the Russell looks13:09really attractive to me to the downside.13:10Look at how clean this chart looks. Um I13:13mean, you could get your Fibonacci, you13:14get your trend lines out. It looks13:16really clean from a technical13:17perspective. And uh what I'd be looking13:19here for on the Russell is one of two13:21scenarios. I like the idea of a13:23potential Let's actually drop it down to13:25the 4hour chart. Um, you know, you've13:27had this I was looking at some maybe13:29some retracements here, but I didn't13:30love any sort of major clear zones of13:33resistance. We've had a nice flush to13:35the downside. What I'd be looking at13:36here probably a retracement up to the13:3838.2%13:40to uh the 61.8%. This would be more of a13:44short-term short idea. Um, and then13:46longer term in terms of like a more of a13:48swing trade uh on the higher time13:50frames, you know, a move back up to the13:522860 if we were to catch a little bit of13:54a rebound post CPI here. Um, I don't13:57hate the idea of a possible short up in13:59this region as well. So, I I do really14:01like the specifically the rate sensitive14:04parts of the market for some possible14:06short ideas. Um, the Dow Jones also14:08looks kind of interesting, but has less14:10of a conviction signal uh on edgefinder.14:13Let me pull up my compact reading here14:15for just a second. I'm going to just go14:17just indices and let's see what we've14:19got here. So, we've got uh in terms of14:22bear camp, Russell still stands alone in14:24terms of the US indices. Uh what this is14:27telling you is that technicals, coot14:29data, crowd sentiment, economic data,14:31inflation, and jobs market are all14:34continuing as of the last few weeks to14:37signal bearishness on the Russell 2000.14:40Now, if you trade futures, that's going14:41to be RTY. If you trade um stocks and14:44ETFs, you could watch IWM. If you trade14:47uh CFDs, you're looking at US 2000 on14:50most most brokerages. Um so yeah, I I do14:53think that that looks like an14:54interesting short opportunity if you14:56were to get some sort of rally. But in14:58the meantime, shout out Allen, he caught14:59a really nice trade there and I am15:01jealous if you can't tell. Dollar index15:03is absolutely ripping by the way. We are15:05breaking back up into the 102.9 range.15:08This is the highest point for the last15:11like gosh since April 2025. Like you are15:13really seeing the dollar make a move15:15here and it does not seem to want to15:17back down and this is right in line with15:19higher yields, lower gold. Um that macro15:22thesis still seems to be upholding very15:24very well here uh for the time being. Um15:27quick look at crowd sentiment going into15:29this. I always find this kind of15:30interesting just to see where the crowd15:32generally is positioned in the options15:34market. Look at this. So crowd sentiment15:36was really bullish on the S&P 500 ahead15:40of this CPI report. I always find that15:42really interesting when you get crowd15:44sentiment one-sided. A lot of times it15:46does cause kind of a reset in price15:48action in the opposite direction. What I15:50mean by this is that, you know, when the15:51crowd is really bullish on something, it15:54doesn't take much to disappoint that15:55crowd. And vice versa, if everyone's15:57really pessimistic on something, it can15:59very easily swing the other way. Gold is16:01pretty neutral here. Nothing too crazy.16:03Um, I would like to actually, just16:05coming to mind while I'm thinking about16:06this, I'd like to build a heat map for16:08the put call ratio. I think that would16:09be a really useful um, indicator. Maybe16:13also just for my edgefinder super fans16:16out there, a little bit of sneak16:17preview, we do have a similar chart like16:20this coming for the put call ratio and16:23for the coot data. Speaking of Allen, I16:26was telling him about this behind the16:28scenes. Let me see if I can pull up a16:29little preview for you guys. Here is16:32what this is going to look like. So, I16:33sent this to um to Allan about the put16:37call ratio tool that we are building. It16:39is not yet public. So, if you have16:40edgefinder, don't go looking for it16:42because it's not ready yet. But soon we16:44will have signals on edgeinder where put16:46call ratio. So, you'll have all sorts of16:48new charts. This stuff is um we've got16:50some really cool stuff planned. And if16:52you are a fan or prospective user in the16:54future of EdgeFinder, uh, get ready16:57because I've been mentioning it quietly16:59here towards the end of my videos for17:01the true fans. Black Friday is coming.17:03So, um, stay tuned on that. And that17:06will be some of our best prices. Well,17:07actually, the best discount that we have17:09ever done, uh, is coming to Edgefinder17:11soon. So, stay tuned on that. And same17:13with Stockbox. If you're a fan of17:14Stockbox or interested in getting access17:16to that, uh, don't buy it yet. wait17:18until Black Friday or we'll be launching17:20our Black Friday sale early, but um in17:23November we have some crazy discount17:25deals coming out. So anyways, um oil17:28here continues to crawl higher. We've17:30got this kind of really obvious trend17:31line. I think you want to see that break17:33if you're looking at, you know, gold17:34catching a break, yields catching a17:36break, you want to see oil come more17:38decisively down, but it just does not17:39seem to be the case. The conflict in the17:41Middle East does not seem to be slowing,17:43does not seem to have any sort of end in17:44sight. Maybe that changes by the time17:47this video goes out, but it's so hard to17:49predict that stuff. And we've seen so17:51many false starts here on conflict being17:54resolved. Um that I think the best17:57strategy is to believe it when you see17:58it type of thing. Like if you're trying18:00to predict when that conflict is going18:01to come to an end, uh good luck. It's18:03been hard. Um I certainly have been18:05wrong in some of my predictions uh in18:08thinking, you know, hey, conflict is18:09going to end by this date or something18:11like that. like and it's generally why I18:13am not a big fan of predictions. Like I18:15have a systematic uh reasoning behind18:18why I take trades. My system flashes18:20red. Okay, I'm going to look for bearish18:22setups. My system flashes blue. All18:24right, I'm going to look for for setups,18:25right? Just following the macro trends18:28has far exceeded my ability to try and18:31predict what the Middle East is going to18:33look like in six months from now. I18:34really really don't have any edge there18:36and I think that uh most traders18:38probably do not either. Um, so we'll18:41keep an eye on what happens there, but18:42just reacting to the flows. Uh, right18:44now oils seems to be trending higher.18:47Uh, and you have, you know, gold18:49trending lower. Like that's the theme18:50this year. And again, just trying to18:53fight that theme, it can go on for a lot18:56longer. Like just as long as gold made18:59this move, which was about a three or19:01four year move higher. Understand with19:03an open mind. If you are bullish on19:05gold, like you may see two, three or19:07four years where gold price action is19:10just disappointing and then the fifth19:11year might come along and boom, there it19:13goes. It's back to fresh all-time highs.19:15Uh but I personally, speaking from19:18having done this for as long as I have,19:20I've been trading for nine or 10 years19:22or so. Um what I found is the far easier19:25thing to do in terms of active trading19:26is to follow what's happening, not19:28trying to predict what's going to happen19:29next. So if you are calling for some19:31huge up move in gold right now, that's19:34exhausting in my personal opinion. I19:36would rather be bearish because the19:38macro flow is there. Uh until it19:40changes. When it changes, I'll flip19:42bullish. No, no ego attached to it.19:44Again, I have a system. I have a19:46mechanical way to look at this. And I19:48would urge you as the listener to do the19:50same. Whether it be, you know, get19:52edgefinder or something else or have19:54your own rule set or whatever. uh have a19:56system that you can hold on to when19:58times get confusing because it will save20:00you. It's such a gamecher to know20:03exactly what I'm supposed to be doing20:06even when you know chaos is erupting in20:08markets. So having a system, having an20:11approach, a repeatable way to look at20:13stuff uh is critical. Let's take a quick20:15look at some sectors. I've got this20:16pulled up here for us today. So this is20:18uh Stockbox, which is a different20:20product than EdgeFinder. It's focused on20:21stocks and ETFs. And I have been20:24watching this because notice how20:26actually I need to I need to update this20:27because the um inflation report came out20:29today and just sent everything into more20:32bearish territory. Look at the inflation20:34impact column on all of our sectors and20:37it is just it is not too hot or I should20:40actually say it's way too hot because20:42inflation was hot, right? Um look at20:44this like you're getting really bearish20:46territory. The only thing that's20:47positive uh on the inflation front due20:50to rising prices is you know energy20:52generally doesn't doesn't do too bad in20:54a in a higher inflation environment. Um20:56and so our our sectors here are mapping20:58out okay uh you have industrials which21:01are part of the AI data center buildout.21:03Look how weak they look here. If you21:05take a look at XLI this has been a21:06really good bearish reading from you21:08know the top sectors reading within21:10stockbox. Really nice flush to the21:12downside. Look at um another one. Uh we21:15could just take a look at a couple uh21:16IYT, XLY. Uh IYT these are transports21:20have been struggling. XLY this is21:22consumer discretionary stocks. Think21:24Nike, Tesla etc. These things have been21:26struggling because the consumer has been21:28hit by inflation. Um at the same time21:31you have regional banks. Uh these things21:33look terrible right now. Uh and again at21:35some point these things change. If21:36you're more of an investor this is a21:38different you know you might be looking21:40at these things differently. Maybe you21:41think conflict in the Middle East might21:43be over in the next 12 months. I want to21:45kind of position for that. Maybe I'm21:46looking at some in uh interest rate21:48sensitive areas to buy the dip on. Uh21:51but from a trading perspective, I don't21:53like to try and call when that's going21:55to change. So right now the flow still21:57seems bearish. We could drop another,21:59you know, 10 15% on this before finally22:02starting to see some kind of a bottoming22:05out. So I am looking more on the short22:07side of of uh some some individual22:09sectors. And as I mentioned the Russell22:12uh and that continues to sort of be my22:14path of least resistance is caution and22:16even some bearishness on the indices at22:18this time. Precious metals neutral but22:20watching for breaks to the downside.22:22Dollar index continues to generally be a22:25very strong one. Uh let's see if we22:27still have a bullish reading on dollar.22:29We've had a bullish uh so it's up to22:31plus three. So we're kind of neutral on22:33dollar but leaning a little closer to22:34bull territory. uh inflation data really22:37kind of upticking the score here today22:40uh for US dollar and just pulling up the22:42the closer look at this. Let's go US22:45dollar here plus three and we can see22:47inflation is decisively more in the bull22:50camp now for dollar uh where we've lost22:52a little bit of the the luster the22:54lackluster effect here is uh jobs market22:57has been soft. So, if we get our next23:00NFP report comes in hot, for example,23:02there's a good chance I am very bullish23:04on the dollar, you know, this time next23:05month. Just depends on what the data23:07falls. But again, this is where I'm23:08telling you like when it comes to23:10trades, when it comes to system, uh23:11strategies, I'm reacting to what my23:14system like my job at this point is to23:16show up, observe edgefinder, find23:19technical setups, and execute the23:21positions. Like I'm I'm following my23:24rules. And this is where I say I'm more23:26a reactive trader. Not necessarily that23:28I don't make predictions about where23:30prices are going to go, but I'm reactive23:32to my system. If this happens, then I do23:34this. If this data comes in this way,23:36then I do this. And if you watch my23:38videos, I promise you, you might not23:40agree with everything I say, everything23:41I do, my system, my strategy, my23:43approach. Totally totally understandable23:45that people are going to have different23:46views. But if you do watch my videos, I23:49hope that by showing up each and every23:51day, you are starting to understand or23:54see exactly how I am systematically23:59trading the markets. Like, let me put it24:01this way. I have people in our Discord24:04that consistently tell me the trades24:06that I am going to take before I take24:08them because they know my system and the24:10mechanical aspects of it in and out just24:12as well as I do. There is a repeatable24:15approach here. something that from a24:17macro perspective is very repeatable,24:19systematic, mechanical, and can be24:21applied to even someone who has a modest24:23view of macro fundamentals. Even if24:25you're not a macro pro, having the right24:27tools, you can pretty much build a24:29system around this stuff uh that is24:32mechanical, reliable, consistent, and24:35repeatable. And that is what I think24:37real trading, if you want to be doing24:39this 5 years from now, whether it's24:41edgefinder or something else, build a24:44system around something mechanical, not24:47something off the top of your brain. If24:49you're trying to call shots off the top24:51of your dome all the time, that's so24:53difficult in trading because we're24:55emotional creatures. We have feelings24:58about like, oh, I really, you know, like25:00I'll give you a quick example. You guys25:02may know I was short gold and caught a25:05really nice trade, but some part of me25:08can't help but be like, "Dang, I got25:10trailed out of my stop uh for a profit.25:12I mean, I made money on this trade. I25:14did well, and yet here's gold lower." My25:17monkey brain, my emotional brain25:19probably would have been like, "Just get25:20back in the short. Like, don't like you25:22you were right. Like, you should have25:23stayed there. What are you doing wrong?"25:25But what I'm telling you is I've done25:27this for 10 years. I know that for every25:31time that I should have, could have,25:32would have just chased back into my25:34position, there were also times where25:35that was a stupid decision and staying25:37true to my system would have played out25:39much better. The reason I'm going I'm I25:41know I'm I'm running off the rails here25:43in terms of time on the video. But I25:45hope I hope this is helpful. If it is,25:46give me a thumbs up button down below.25:48Um the thing that I'm trying to get at25:50here is that in that times of25:53uncertainty that you know flurry of25:55chaos in markets I can rely I can25:59retreat26:00inwards and say okay follow the system26:03you you have a system stick to it thick26:05and thin never never deviate and that26:09gives me some level of clarity that many26:12traders really lack and genuinely I26:15think should find before they continue26:17trading. If you are trading off the dome26:19every day, meaning off the top of your26:21head, you're coming up with trade ideas.26:22Um, I've never seen that consistently26:24work for anyone.
