I am going to enjoy typing this next sentence SO mightily.
Today the SILVER PRICE rose 87 cents (4.4%) to close on Comex at 2063.7c. Treading right on silver's heels, gold leapt $41.30 (3.25%) to close at $1,313.70.
The great oil man H.L. Hunt said, "Never get really elated in victory; when times are tough, never get down." Times like this, you have to grab yourself and imagine what might make it go the other way. After a fierce rally -- depending on how far it runs -- they might collapse back to a low, but a higher low than we have recently seen.
What might cause that? It's not clear how much this rally is being driven by safe-haven demand spawned by events in Ukraine and Iraq. I would say, "Probably not much," because this rise came on the heels of the FOMC's announcement and the dollar's fall. Still, much of this rise could be air from those crises, and that sort of boost quickly deflates.
Not that time for a silver and gold price turnaround is not ripe -- it is, and you're watching it now. Only question is how it plays out in the foreground.
The GOLD PRICE reached it's first tough resistance level, May's $1,315.80 high. In the aftermarket it's trading right there. Tomorrow is Friday, so likely a lot of those New York traders headed home for martinis will sell tomorrow to realize the week's profits, taking it down a little.
What happened? Apparently the market was full of uneasy shorts. Once their buy stop orders were hit around $1,285, gold just kept on rocketing, hitting the next levels of buy stops. Time it stopped, it was $41.30 higher. Silver progressed through the same rout.
Think about the gold chart. Remember that in April and May it traced a long even-sided triangle, then broke out of that in late' may about $1,280. So it fell out of that triangle, bottomed at $1,240.20, rallied steadily through June, and today broke through old $1,285 resistance as well as the apex of that triangle (about $1,290).
Next gold must overcome April's $1,331.40 high, and down the road March's $1,392.60. The big log in the road is last August's high at $1,434. Those are the milestones. Watch for them.
That 2050/2060c level was a high hurdle for silver, support/resistance stretching back more than a year. Silver has oscillated over and under it, and today has vaulted over it, along with its 2049c 200 DMA. Resistance awaits at 2218c (February high), then 2309 (October high), and 2512c (August high).
On the weekly chart today's close takes silver to the 50 week moving average (2065c) and above the 20 WMA (20.11). Silver is already above the major downtrend line from the April 2011 high, but still needs to cross above 2400c to break clean free of all taint of the long correction.
Without discounting the possibility for one more, but higher, low in June, I have metals have screamed in your ear that they are rallying.
Today was a breakout. You BUY the breakouts, in case y'all missed those lows where I was urging y'all to buy. Ain't that just like a nacheral born durn'd fool from Tennessee, to say "I told y'all so"?
S&P500 made its second new high this week, but like the Dow, it's struggling for tiny gains. Dow rose 14.84 (0.09%) to 16,921.46 and the S&P500 inched up 2.5 (0.13%) to its new high at 1959.48. On the other hand, the Nasdaq and Nasdaq 100 dropped a bit.
But all this says practically nothing -- it squeaks, it whispers -- next to what the Dow did against silver and gold. It TANKED.
Dow in Gold plunged 2.68% to 12.88 oz (G$266.25 gold dollars, from G$273.49 yesterday). That took it from its 20 DMA to its 50 DMA (12.91 oz or G$266.87), and through support from a past triangle's top line. Assuming the DiG doesn't turn around and reverse skyward, this leaves behind a double top (Dec - June) which looks like the end to the three year rally of stocks against gold. O, yes, it does.
Dow in silver DOVE 3.56% to 819.52 oz (S$1,059.58 silver dollars, from S$1,098.72) leaving its 50 DMA (853.93) far behind and puncturing its long term uptrend line. Awaiting at 787.45 oz (S$1,018.12) is the 200 DMA. I suppose it could look better than this, but I don't know how without violating natural law and good manners.
US Dollar index sliced through its 200 DMA (80.41), but ended the day right on it at 80.42, down only 11 basis points. At one point it was down 27 bp to 80.24. Dollar index appears to have expended all its fuel and like a rocket, turned its nose down.
As if to verify that, the euro jumped over its 20 DMA ($1.3598) and rose 0.11% to $1.3605. Looks set for a rally at least to $1.3725. European manufacturers must be screaming in pain.
The yen reacted with more reserve, losing 0.2% to 98.1. No traction, no direction.
I'm sending y'all a weekly report today because I have to travel to Rome, Georgia for a wedding tomorrow. God willing, I'll see y'all again on Monday.
Y'all enjoy your weekend!

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.
