GOLD PRICES indicators have index fingers pointed toward the earth. Gold needs to close above $1,320 to break upward. If it breaks $1,300 tomorrow it will retest the previous low and 200 DMA at $1,287.
The SILVER PRICE support from 2050c to 2035c has to hold or silver will fall back to prove itself at 1975c.
I anticipate that by the end of Augusts' first week, lows will have been passed.
Stocks faded about half the day, then climbed enough to get their noses out from under the water. Dow rose, but not enough to brag about, only 22.2 or 0.13% to 16,982.59.
Y'all recall that on Friday the Dow fell out of that latest rising wedge within a rising wedge. That makes it a safe bet it will touch the 50 DMA, nearby at 16,858. Today the uptrend line from the March 2009 low stands at about 16,720. Should the Dow fall through that line, folks on Wall Street will shave their topknots and start fasting and praying to the money god to save them. Indicators all point down, witnessing the fall will fall more, and that Russell 2000 small cap index looks like it's been eating bad meat. Y'all can see a chart at http://bit.ly/1qcyiv7
Get out your microscopes! S&P500 rose 0.57 (0.03%) to 1,978.91. Bottom boundary of the S&P500's trading channel is at 1,964, and below lieth an air pocket. 50 DMA is camped at 1,948.
Dow in Metals offers a slightly confused picture right now. Dow in Gold rose 0.5% to 13.02 oz (G$269.15), and just above at 13.03 (G$269.35) lurks the 50 DMA. Should rise much above that or it will pierce the downtrend line. Dow in silver has risen through three fan lines, hit the 50 DMA above, then backed down. Today it rose 0.98% to 823.60 (S$1,064.86). Pears both of them have completed a correction to their falling trend, but I am patiently awaiting confirmation.
If I get to choose my friends, the US Dollar Index ain't gonna rank among 'em -- too unpredictable and untrustworthy. It's bite the hands of friends and then gnaw 'em off. It backed off two basis points today to 81.12. That's not amazing as it fights to get through the neckline of an upside-down head and shoulders.
Yield on the 10 year treasury note (my proxy for interest rates in general) threatened to free-fall last week, but then slapped itself and mumped up. It has not, however, jumped out of danger's road. Closed at 2.491 today, and needs to close above 2.625 to confirm it has changed its direction to up.

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.
