Gold was unable to make any headway going into next weeks Fed meeting…not surprising. Nevertheless, multiple factors continue to support a low. Both the weekly RSI and MFI are deeply oversold. The COT numbers are incredibly bullish. More bullish than they were last July when prices rallied $150+ in 8-weeks. Sentiment is bearish and […]
Continue Reading →The persistent 3-month decline in gold cut much deeper than I anticipated. As the cycle extended, gold broke key levels at $1280, and $1238. This renewed calls for a bear market and imminent collapse. I remain firmly bullish on the yellow metal and believe the washout period is over. Member after member reached out […]

Continue Reading →Occasionally, I get some grief about the 6-month cycle and how it doesn’t work.
