If this was a genuine breakout, miners should be soaring today. Their lack of enthusiasm suggests prices are building a divergent top. Gold and Silver are at fresh highs, but Miners are still trading near their 10-day EMA’s. Gold needs to get through the $1,250-$1,258 zone to extend this rally. Otherwise, we may see […]
Continue Reading →Silver made a new high on Friday, but gold is yet to confirm that move. Gold and Miners need to exceed Wednesday’s highs to continue this rally. If prices fail to print fresh highs next week, they risk rolling over into a broader correction. I’d use Friday’s lows or your breakeven point (if you […]
Continue Reading →Miners are approaching key resistance levels, and they are entering another timing window where a top could form. A top isn’t guaranteed, so I won’t attempt shorting here. If prices begin to rollover, I’ll revise and update our correction targets. -GDX- Prices are approaching triple resistance at the 50% retracement, 200-day MA, and […]
Continue Reading →My timing window for a cycle low was wildly unsuccessful; we are now faced with two scenarios. Scenario 1- Metals and Miners put in abnormally shallow cycle lows January 27th, and we are 5-days into a new cycle. Scenario 2- This cycle is expanding due to continued dollar weakness, and the correction is still […]
Continue Reading →The correction I’ve been expecting is indeed delayed, but evidence still supports its arrival. Volume in metals and miners should increase as prices breakout to new highs; it hasn’t. Silver makes new intraday highs but then closes lower. And there was selling-in-strength today in GDX. Those factors are supportive of a top and not […]
Continue Reading →The ADP employment numbers revealed that 246,000 private sector jobs were created in January, compared to just 151,000 jobs in December. It appears small companies are gearing up for lower Trump tax rates, decreased regulation and perceived fiscal stimulus. This mindset is supporting stocks. A strong stock market is likely to put pressure on […]
Continue Reading →Everything seems to be on track, and precious metals and miners should reach a tradable low next week. The only fly in the ointment is silver. A bullish engulfing pattern formed on Friday when prices rallied back above $17.00. However, volume was modest, so I think it was just temporary short covering. Miners closed […]
Continue Reading →Metals and miners may have topped today, but we won’t know until each close beneath their respective 10-day EMA’s. The dollar tested the 100 level again, and it should bounce as precious metals correct. Oil is in a drawn out topping situation similar to that of mid-2015. We may get a decent short play […]
Continue Reading →The common gold cycle usually averages between 22-26 trading days between turning points. I fully expected a cycle low to form this time, but it now looks like we will see a high instead. We are 24-trading days into the current cycle, and prices should top between now and Wednesday. Then prices should reach […]
Continue Reading →Gold, Silver, and Miners are extending their cycles higher. The miners should gap up higher this morning, and this is the move I attempted to catch last week. I guess it was slightly delayed. Prices should seek out cycle highs this week. I will be watching the miners for clues throughout the day. How […]
