As we go into today's much anticipated release of the US January CPI, here is a reminder of the inverse relationshiop between XAUUSD and the GoldBugs ratio (XAUUSD/HUI). The relationship, explained in many of my videos since March 2025 can be useful, when XAUUSD fails to give any clear signal, in which case you're likely to find tehcnical guideposts in the GoldBugs ratio. This clearly shown in the below chart gold broke multiple records between Jan 13 and Jan 28. During that time, XAUUSD had no reference resistance in sight, while GoldBugs ratio continued to break support. More significantly, see how Gold broke the 4400 in December (R), signalled by the breakdown of (S) in the ratio. And just when you were unsure whether XAUUSD would break below 4300 in late December (S1), the ratio held up its resistance (R1). If gold drops to 4700 or approaches 4600, then keep an eye on the all important resistance of 6.2 in the GoldBugs ratio. 

Small Traders (small in experience or in size of account) often make the common error of losing focus and exiting a trade too early. Not necessarily because it is losing money, but because it is "doing nothing". They want action every day.  It's premature and silly. Take a look at USDJPY for instance. Yesterday's NFP release showed a surprise jump of 2x expectations, while the unemployment rate unexpectedly fell to 4.3% from 4.4%. USDJPY jumped from 153.49 to 154.60, then immediately fell back to 153.00, returned to 154.00 before sliding to 152.26. There is NOISE & there is SIGNAL. Here is a 90-second video of the trade shorting USDJPY above 155 on Monday.
