The GOLD PRICE today rose a meager 70 cents by Comex close at $1,333.00, but right after the close somebody gave meth to the entire market, and it jumped up $11.00, to reach once more the threshold at $1,345 resistance.
The SILVER PRICE rose a respectable 32.1c to close at 2713.2c, bringing it to the barrier at 2760c. This was a good bounce off yesterday's 2650, but leaves silver in limbo, hanging between 2800c resistance and 2650c support. My inclination is to expect a couple day's rise, followed by more downside. Premiums on 90% silver coin is rising, rising, and spread is narrowing, which points to higher prices. However, time and price drop from the 3 January peak don't seem great enough yet to qualify as a bottom.
But on any given day, I have a 50% chance of being right, and the person opposite me has a 50% chance. I just have to try to hold on to what the historical statistics and the chart patterns seem to say.
Let's see if silver can close above 2800c and gold above $1,445 tomorrow.
US DOLLAR INDEX dropped again, 24.2 basis points to end up at 77.76. Its fall's momentum is slowing, and forming a falling wedge, which presages an upward break. However, MACD and RSI remain pointed firmly earthward. Could get a turn any time, or no turn at all, but that wedge argues something will happen soon.
STOCKS rose today, Dow up 8.25 to 11,985.44 and the SY_500 to 1,296.63, up 5.45.

To avoid confusion, please remember that the comments above have a very short time horizon. Always invest with the primary trend. Gold's primary trend is up, targeting at least $3,130.00; silver's primary is up targeting 16:1 gold/silver ratio or $195.66; stocks' primary trend is down, targeting Dow under 2,900 and worth only one ounce of gold; US$ or US$-denominated assets, primary trend down; real estate in a bubble, primary trend way down. Whenever I write "Stay out of stocks" readers inevitably ask, "Do you mean precious metals mining stocks, too?" No, I don't.
