To gain an edge, this is what you need to know today.

Inflection Point Please click here for a chart of SPDR Gold Trust (ARCA:GLD).

Note the following:

• The chart shows that gold has staged a strong rally.
• The chart shows Arora signals including the famous signal to sell half of the gold position on the exact day gold topped in 2011. Long time members of The Arora Report have made a fortune from our gold and silver calls.
• Perma gold bulls, also known as gold bugs, are coming out of the woodwork proclaiming that this is it for the big gold move they have been waiting for.
• Prudent investors should consider ignoring perma gold bulls. Perma gold bulls tend to strongly believe in conspiracy theories of central banks colluding with large commercial banks to keep gold and silver low. Many times the prominent perma gold bulls have a vested interest because they are in the business of selling gold and silver to the masses.
• In The Arora Report analysis, here are the key data points investors should focus on:
  • Gold has traced a 10 year cup as shown on the chart.
  • Now, gold is in the process of tracing a multi-year handle.
  • Cup and handle patterns tend to break to the upside.
  • When an upside break occurs from a long pattern, it can be extremely powerful, leading to large gains.
  • As shown on the chart, gold is now in the resistance zone.
  • The chart shows that the prior three attempts to break out of this resistance zone failed. Will the fourth time be a charm?
  • Thank you for your requests for a new podcast on gold. The evidence from our decades of experience with thousands of investors is clear. Those who take time in advance to prepare tend to generate significantly higher profits than those who do not. We will start work on the podcast to help members prepare in case there is a breakout. The podcast will be in Arora Ambassador Club.
• Crypto bros are predicting that this gold up move will fail. Crypto bros have a strong interest in promoting gold as antiquated, and they want to sell the masses on the idea that crypto is the new gold.
• You can access world famous Arora ratings on gold and silver from the top menu. These ratings are used by private investors, hedge funds, bullion dealers, and major jewelers. At times, Arora gold calls have impacted gold prices.

• The gold ETF GLD buy zone is in the ZYX Allocation Core Model Portfolio. The buy zones for silver ETF SLV and gold miner Newmont Corporation (NYSE: NEM) are in the ZYX Buy Core Model Portfolio. NEM was the best performing stock in the S&P 500 yesterday.
• In the stock and bond markets, permabulls are disbelieving the new data just released. The new data is the GDP - Second Estimate. GDP came at 5.2% vs. 4.9% consensus.
• In The Arora Report analysis, as hard as they may try, here is a question that permabulls are unable to answer. Why is the Fed going to cut rates with the economy growing at 5.2%? Permabulls are convinced of a Fed rate cut in Q1 of 2024. With the economy growing at 5.2%, there is no logical reason for the Fed to cut rates. The only reason for the Fed to cut rates will be if the economy quickly falls off the cliff.
• Prudent investors need to keep in mind that permabulls do not need to do a 360 degree analysis because their job is to push the stock market as high as they can. Before you send us emails, the long standing Arora Report position is to ignore both permabulls and permabears. Instead, prudent investors should connect the data points.
• The Fed’s Beige Book will be released at 2pm ET.
• As an actionable item, the sum total of the foregoing is in the protection band, which strikes the optimum balance between various crosscurrents. Please scroll down to see the protection band.
