Michael Moor: Big Trend Reversals are Already Underway for Gold and Energy

Tom welcomes a new guest, Michael Moor, to the show. Michael is an analyst with a fifteen-year career on the floor of the NYMEX. He now provides industry-leading analysis and directional calls in the Gold and Energy Markets. He explains the importance of using technical trading and why it normally leads fundamentals. Michael explains what led him to make the call for low oil prices back in 2020. Heating oil and gasoline lead crude oil about eighty percent of the time, which can be highly advantageous in trading. He explains some of his analysis for gold and how time frames influence his calls. Various formations are usually a gradual progression over different time frames that eventually result in a move. He feels the down move in the S&P this year is more of a bearish correction within the longer bull cycle. He gives us his analysis on where the equity markets may be heading. Should the S&P hold around this level, we could see a substantial move upwards. He also believes that energy will be moving to the upside. Lastly, he discusses crude spreads and how they can be a leading indicator. Understanding the inner workings of energy options can give a trader an enormous advantage.
