The McClellan Price Oscillator for gold futures prices has
reached a pretty high level, equivalent to what it did at the price
top in March 2022, and it has just now turned down. This is a
bearish signal and could set off a pretty big pullback.
The McClellan Price Oscillator is a cousin of the more famous
McClellan A-D Oscillator. My parents created both of these
back in 1969. That research grew out of their desire to get a
better signal than could be gotten from looking just at moving
averages alone. Together, they wondered about finding the
difference between two moving averages, and this was well ahead of
when Gerald Appel did the same thing with his Moving Average
Convergence-Divergence (MACD) indicator.
A McClellan Price Oscillator employs prices for any stock,
index, commodity, or futures price series. One calculates two
exponential moving averages(EMAs), known as the
10% Trend and 5% Trend. Those percentage numbers refer to the
“smoothing constant” used in the calculation of each EMA. The
smoothing constant governs how much weight is given to the most
recent data, so for calculating a 10% Trend you would multiply
today’s closing price by 10%, and then add that to 90% of
yesterday’s 10% Trend value. A larger smoothing constant
means a faster response to price movements.
The chart below shows the 10% Trend (red) and 5% Trend
(green) for the April gold futures contract. The fact that
they have become spread far apart is another way of saying that the
Price Oscillator has risen to a high value, because the Price
Oscillator represents the distance between those two EMAs.
