Gold - using options to guide a mean reversion strategy
(Source: Tradingview - Past performance is not indicative of future performance.)
As it stands, the weekly (options) straddle breakeven range sits at 1827 to 1780 – with the market putting a 68.2% probability that price is contained in this range over the coming week - you can also see both levels marry nicely with the 7 September high and series of bids through August - September. This is the range mean reversion players can look at near-term.
We saw price having a bullish engulfing yesterday, but there's not been any follow-through at the 50% retracement of the recent range. Are we looking at reversal and price eyeing a re-test towards 1780? I suspect so, but with the RSI mid-range and real rates showing no clear trend – Gold is likely to whip around in an 1827 to 1780 range for now and traders may lean into these levels for positions.
