Stock market fears temporarily subsided, and gold slipped back below $1290. A close in gold below $1280 would support a final decline in precious metals and setup the next buying opportunity at the end of May. -US DOLLAR- The dollar closed above the trendline, and it looks like the beginning of a short-term […]
Continue Reading →The markets are spooked over escalating trade tensions between the US and China. Gold jumped to over $1300 yesterday as global stock markets tanked. If this was just a fear-driven reaction, gold may begin to rollover and slip back below $1290. Holding $1290 and closing progressively above $1310 in the coming days would support […]
Continue Reading →Markets are consolidating their recent moves; there was little to update today. I get the sense that markets are awaiting another news event — namely direction concerning Trump’s trade war with China. A favorable deal for both parties would presumably increase commodity demand and global growth. That would have a positive effect on commodities. […]
Continue Reading →Several factors support February tops in both metals and miners. A 2 to 4 week correction into the March 20th Fed meeting seems fitting. There is significant support in gold between $1300 and $1310 that may prove challenging. Breaking that critical level would imply a March $1260 target. -US DOLLAR- The dollar has […]

I entered new swing trades in DSLV and JDST. I continue to hold the January 31st, 2019 DWT trade. The New Gold Predict mobile app (iOS and Android) should […]
Continue Reading →The price action to start the week in metals and miners has been uninspiring. The potential flag patterns should have broken higher by now. Unless something changes quickly, the odds are beginning to favor abandoned bull flags and a breakdown. I want to see the overnight action, but I’m considering reapplying my short positions. […]
Continue Reading →We may see one more push higher in gold to test the $1350 to $1370 area. That may correspond with a decline in the general stock market and oil prices. I’ve been looking for oil to dip back down towards the $42.00 region in February or March. Progressive closes below $50.00 would reinforce that […]
Continue Reading →Today, I wanted to take a look at the bigger picture and consider certain trends we may see over the next decade. Jim Puplava from Financial Sense thinks the next decade may favor tangible assets and commodities, I agree. I think deflationary pressures are waning and we are transitioning into an inflationary period. Major […]
Continue Reading →Fairly uneventful day. I’m studying correlated and uncorrelated assets to get a better view of where we are in the economy. I need to look deeper into bonds and interest rate differentials for clues. That’s what I’m working on tonight. -GDX VOLUME STUDY- On Balance Volume and MFI support a topping process instead […]
