The GOLD PRICE showed the sort of action I deeply love. It opened flat, got
pounded on the US open, straight down, then fast and steady rose right
out of that hole to close nearly unchanged. Well, closed at $1,663.40,
down sixty cents. Why do I like that action? $1,645 support, then
returned to challenge $1,665 resistance. This maintains the uptrend and
thumbs its nose at sellers.
On that gold chart with
the falling wedge, gold did no more today than fall back for a final
kiss good-bye to the upper boundary. If the GOLD PRICE can resist falling below
$1,645, then it has broken out of that falling wedge and begun its next
rally. Caution: there's likely to be a lot of very slowly rising mostly
sideways action for a while. Remember that in the next week or so gold
needs to burst through $1,682 resistance.
SILVER PRICE
dropped 38.8 cents today to 3095.9c. Low came at 3057.8c, about where we
saw most of the lows last week. After the usual early morning opening
attack on silver, it recovered but didn't trade up as high as gold, only
to the 3100c level.
This also speaks with forked
tongue on that falling wedge chart. The low took silver down through the
wedge's upper boundary, but silver closed above it. Silver is laboring
to break out.
Last week we saw the lows (I believe)
now the SILVER and GOLD PRICE are just breaking free of lower resistance levels
before they start leaping.
Whatever hopes stock investors held that stocks would surge ahead today were dashed. Dow dropped 14.68 (0.11%), turned back again by the noxious miasma at 12,300. S&P backed off 0.39% (5.45) to 1,397.91. Only a Dow close above 12,325 can turn this picture positive.
US Dollar Index did nothing today to salvage its reputation. Oh, it rose 7.5 basis points -- mere dandelion fluff in the wind -- to 78.784, but after so clearly breaking down last week, such moves arouse only contempt. Dollar index could rally all the way to 79.25 for a final kiss back to the trendline it broke through, but unless it closes above 79.50, the dollar will drop further.
Euro dropped 0.11% today to $1.3239. Dollar is breaking down, euro is holding up, and only the yen seems to be profiting. Euro does, at least, barely remain above its 62 DMA (1.3206). As Friday's chart plainly foretold, the yen advanced again today. Gained 0.47% to 125.29c (Y79.81/US$1). Will move higher until the Mystic Knights of the Central Bank hit it again.

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 bubble has
burst, primary trend down.
WARNING AND DISCLAIMER. Be advised and warned:
Do
NOT use these commentaries to trade futures contracts. I don't intend
them for that or write them with that short term trading outlook. I
write them for long-term investors in physical metals. Take them as
entertainment, but not as a timing service for futures.
NOR do I
recommend investing in gold or silver Exchange Trade Funds (ETFs). Those
are NOT physical metal and I fear one day one or another may go up in
smoke. Unless you can breathe smoke, stay away. Call me paranoid, but
the surviving rabbit is wary of traps.
NOR do I recommend trading
futures options or other leveraged paper gold and silver products.
These are not for the inexperienced.
NOR do I recommend buying gold and silver on margin or with debt.
What DO I recommend? Physical gold and silver coins and bars in your own hands.
One final warning: NEVER insert a 747 Jumbo Jet up your nose. No, I don't.
