Gold has been in a congestion since late February. That congestion now looks to have ended. This 8 hour bar chart is for the gold Exchange Traded Fund, GLD. Gold futures prices are ten times larger.
Since the August 18th 2018 low, gold has now made a major move 1 and 2, as shown by the green boxed numbers. Moves within these major moves are numbered in white. Major move 1 is a Chaos Clamshell. Within it, move 5 expanded
into its own 7 move Chaos Clamshell as shown in the small red boxed numbers.
Move 1 ran for 16.2 points. Move 2 was 7.66 point, about a 47% retracement. Treating these moves as A and B of a simple ABC, and using the common projection of A=C suggests a target price of 135.75.
From the 8/16/2018 low to the 4/23/2019 low is 250 calendar days for two of the 7 moves in a Chaos Clamshell. That would project 875 days for the complete pattern, reaching to 1/7/2021.
More details of the development of this pattern can be tracked by overlaying my Fractal of Pi pattern, from my course by the same name. This course is a sequel to my Cash In On Chaos course. This pair of courses are a good starting point for learning how chaos works in markets.
