Gold Could Be Trending Higher Against the Dow

By The Gold Report

Source: John Newell for Streetwise Reports   03/11/2020

Technical analyst John Newell charts the Dow-Gold ratio and speculates on where it could be heading.

The Dow/Gold ratio broke a trend-line in past few weeks that could be signaling that gold could be trending higher against the Dow Jones Industrial Index in the next 18 months to two years.

An example might be a ratio of 10 or the Dow at 20,000 and gold at $2,000 (a new all-time high in U.S. dollars) equals 10.

Conversely, if the Dow went to 30,000 and gold went to $3,000, the ratio would equal 10. This is not a prediction but an observation.

What I found interesting was in the mid-1970s gold corrected from ~$200 to ~$100 and the Dow/Gold ratio went up ~260%, as it did again from the 2012 lows into mid-2019 but over a longer period.

Furthermore, I, John Newell, assume no liability for any direct or indirect loss or damage or for lost profit, which you may incur because of the use and existence of the information provided within this Report.

It should not be assumed that the methods, techniques, or indicators presented in these pages will be profitable or that they will not result in losses. Past results are not necessarily indicative of future results. Examples presented on these pages are for educational purposes only. These set-ups are not solicitations of any order to buy or sell.

Hypothetical and historical performance results have many inherent limitations, some of which are described below. No representation is being made that any account will or is likely to achieve profits or losses similar to those shown. In fact, there are frequently sharp differences between hypothetical and historical performance results and the actual results subsequently achieved by any trading program. One of the limitations of hypothetical and historical performance results is that they are generally presented with the benefit of hindsight. In addition, hypothetical and historical trading may not present the financial risks and returns for future trading. For example, the ability to withstand losses or to adhere to a particular trading program in spite of trading losses are material points which can also adversely affect trading results. There are numerous other factors related to the markets in general or to the implementation of any specific trading program which cannot be fully accounted for in the preparation of hypothetical performance results and all which can adversely affect actual trading results.
