I see the potential for a spike high in gold this week. The days surrounding Friday’s employment report are crucial. If the dollar bottoms around 92, that could trigger a multi-week correction in gold, potentially severe. The US dollar spiked to 103.96 during the March liquidation. Prices are down over 10% from that peak; […]

To help promote a top, I’d like to see prices first close below $1770, but a breakdown below $1750 is needed to confirm. GOLD DAILY TARGET: To support […]

If this is a convincing rebound, as I suspect, then prices should turn lower by tomorrow or Friday. A powerful surge above the 200-day would imply a breakout, and I’d consider a long position. […]
Continue Reading →The urge to jump into gold and miners may be overwhelming for some investors. I suggest caution as the first wave of bottom pickers usually regret their decision. I’ve been doing this for a while, and I’ve seen massive swings in precious metals. Through experience, I learned to be patient and to wait for […]
Continue Reading →Several miners and silver companies are rallying or near positive territory despite sharply lower precious metals (paper price). Premiums on bullion have jumped. I want to see if the morning boost is just a gap fill or real demand. It was a long scary weekend for people. So, if it’s just retail traders freaking […]
Continue Reading →In an unexpected move ON Sunday, the Federal Reserve announced it is dropping its benchmark interest rate to zero (was 1.00%) and will be launching a new round of quantitative easing. The QE program will provide $500-billion worth of asset purchases, including Treasury’s and mortgage-backed securities. It’s unclear what this will do to the […]
Continue Reading →Trying to make sense of these markets is impossible. If I told you U.S. stocks would crash 14% in one week – how high do you suspect gold would jump? $50…$100…$150? I would guess at least $100 but probably more. Nope – Gold prices are down over $50.00 on Friday. All week I’ve been […]
Continue Reading →Gold futures are trying to hold support near $1500 ahead of next weeks Fed announcement. Our intermediate forecast supports a pullback into October/November. A backtest of the $1380 breakout area could become one of the last great buying opportunities. Sometimes one chart can some up years of commentary. For an eagles-eye view, I prefer the […]
