The GOLD PRICE slid $7.00 (0.6%) $1,210.50 today while silver dove 2.9% (51 cents) to 1700.6c.

The SILVER PRICE made a new low for the move at $16.85, but climbed back to $17.00. Gold, too, touched a new low at $1,204.30, but gold's indicators (I'm telling y'all) are turning up. Nothing changed today, except that silver became even more oversold than it was yesterday.

The Dow measured in the Silver and Gold Price, the struggling stock market, the acutely overbought dollar and acutely oversold silver and gold prices all keep screaming at me that somewhere here there is a 180 degree reversal. But when? WOULD YOU BUY GOLD AT $1,180.28?

Markets teach humility: never say never. US dollar index rose again today, up 0.35% (thirty basis points) to 86.04, a four year high.

Now what in the world could push a no-good, low white-trash, absolutely unbacked, scrofulous, scabby fiat currency like the US dollar to new highs? As Yogurt said in the movie Spaceballs, "Moichendizing!" Y'all live in a world of marketing, spin, appearance, and illusion, along with a public that beats world history for gullibility and docility. Today all the gullible are running after the airy US dollar, tomorrow the euro, next day the yen, whatever the fashion is, because underneath the reality never changes.

But what do I know? I'm only a nat'ral born durn'd fool from Tennessee, not one of them P.T. Barnum central bankers.

The dollar's rise caused its comrades in leprosy, the euro and yen, to stumble and tumble. Euro gapped down and ended at $1.2631, down 0.45%. Yen lost 0.15% to 91.22 cents/Y100.

I can only look at those three charts and stare like a fool at a tennis match. Euro and Yen are oversold above all measure, US dollar is overbought by same measure. One has to suspect the dollar's rise is one of those fads hedge funds fall prey to, which will end as suddenly and sharply as it began. But one has been fooled before.

Stocks tried to rally, but ran out of steam before noon and slid down the mountain. Dow lost 28.32 (0.17%) to 17,042.90 (sliding toward 17,000) while the S&P500 lost 5.51 (0.28%) to 1,972.29. Neither index could close above its 20 day moving average, and the DandP500 couldn't even close above its 50 DMA.

Dow in Gold rose 0.17% today to 14.07 oz (G$290.85 gold dollars), still sawing back and forth as it tops. That may sound like a presumptuous pronouncement, but everything about the Dow in Gold is headed down, all indicators.

Dow in silver, on the other hand, won't stay put. Added 2.19% today (thanks to silver's big fall) and ended at 999.17 oz (S$1,291.86 silver dollars). Ain't long for this world up there.

I waxed curious about this here big rally of the Dow in Gold and Dow in Silver since August 2011. See, they both fell about 90% from their 1999 and 2001 peaks, so I was curious to see how much of that fall they have corrected in this mighty rally. Of that 2,261 oz DiS fall, today brings it to a 33% correction. Of the Dow in gold's 38.66 oz fall from its roughly 45 oz high in 1999, today's close has corrected about 22%.

The GOLD PRICE added $3.40 today to close Comex, where the black shirts on the floor take no prisoners, at $1,217.50. Silver backed off 3.6 cents to $17.516. Both silver and GOLD PRICES left behind sideways trails today.

Well, why don't they break down worse? Silver broke that triple bottom line around $18.60, waterfalled, but now has stopped. The gold price broke its uptrend line from the December 2013 bottom, but has only eased down through September a maximum of $65 at its lowest so far. End of the world seems a long time coming.

Gold flirteth still with oversold. Volume is drying up. MACD has turned positive. What if the dollar takes a dip and all those hedge funds who have shorted gold and silver to buy dollars suddenly find themselves losers? They'll back out of those trades faster'n a tom cat out of the Westminster Kennel Club show.

The SILVER PRICE remains massively oversold. From today's close it needs to rise $0.50 to break $18.00 and the downtrend line.

Get this clear in your mind: neither silver nor the gold price have turned up yet, in spite of all these signs. But when you see the leaves falling off the trees, you don't look for spring. Besides, a thought keeps popping up in my mind. I know of no other asset that can carry and maintain value outside the financial system. Gold and silver don't depend on any corporation to pay a dividend, government to give give a stamp of approval, or anything else. People value them because they are gold and silver, and outside that whole fiat money-central banking system. They've been money for over 6,000 years of human history. I reckon they'll make it a few more years.

Well, that cinches it! The CNN Money headline today was, "The US dollar is on top of the world." Anytime a headline like that appears in a general circulation publication, it usually signals the end of a trend, or at least the start of a correction.

US dollar today lost nothing, one big basis point, to 85.74, so it is holding on, but at an overbought level that hard to swallow (RSI at 79.73), and it has been overbought for a month and a half. Way overdue for a correction (as I've been saying for days on end.)

The yen and the euro are wondering when the Dollar is going to fall, too. Euro today made another new low close for the move, down 0.06% to $1.2685. Yen also made another new low close for the move, 91.34 c/Y100, down 0.22%. Both remain as oversold as the dollar is overbought.

Ten year treasury note yield nearly touched its 50 DMA today. If we have been watching no more than a correction and it still intends to rise, this would be the right place to reverse gears.

Stocks got roughed up today. Dow opened down 175, losing most everything it had gained on Friday, but worked its way back up to close down only 41.93 (0.25%) at 17,071.22. S&P 500 lost 5.05 (also 0.25%) to 1,977.80.

Wonder what will happen with the Dow breaks 17,000 this time? I bet that thought leaves the Nice Government Men sweating scorpions.

Now my mind turneth to the Dow measured in metals. The late unpleasantness in stocks has been mirrored by topping/churning in the Dow in Silver and Dow in Gold. Dow in gold looks like a spread turkey wing, all jagged feathers showing, up and down with the wild stock market volatility and relative flatness in gold. It closed today at 14.01 oz (G$289.61 gold dollars), down 0.15%. DiG has fallen and is falling out of its overbought state. MACD has turned down, as have Rate of Change and full stochastics. Next confirmation comes with a close below the 20 day moving average, now at 13.82 oz (G$285.68). 'Nother one of those 200 point down days in stocks will pop that out.

Poor, dear silver, the Rodney Dangerfield of precious metals! Dow in silver rose 0.84% to 977.73 oz. (S$1,264 silver dollars). Here, too, a closely jagged graph mirrors the struggle of a market turning over. We've seen the blow-off and are now witnessing the hovering before the plunge.

About this date in 1916 John D. Rockefeller became the world's first billionaire. In 1914 Rockefeller hired the founder of public relations, Ivy Lee (born in Cedartown, Georgia) to advise him because he had a public image a little worse than Attilla the Hun but a little better than Beelzebub. Ivy Lee advised him to carry lots of dimes in his pockets and hand 'em out to kids when he went out in public. It worked -- with the kids, at least. Probably didn't fool anybody else. The Muckraker Upton Sinclair nicknamed him "Poison Ivy" after Lee tried to send bulletins saying that coal miners shot in the Ludlow Massacre were "victims of an over- turned stove."

On 29 September 2008 as Lehman Brothers and Washington Mutual went bankrupt, the Dow Jones industrial Average fell 777.68 points, largest single day loss in its history.

The GOLD PRICE today tumbled again, down $7.10 (0.6%) to $1,214.10. Silver, gainsaying gold, rose 9.8 cents (0.81%) to $17.47

Thursday's 24 hour trading in silver saw three bottoms about $17.40, off of which silver rallied today to $17.73 about 3:30 a.m. eastern time. But the downwave from that high seems to have dropped in three legs, which, if accurate, suggests it was correcting the upmove. In other words, the direction of trend is up.

That close at $17.477 cents was classic tape painting, since I hardly saw the SILVER PRICE trading under $17.62 all day. End of the day found silver at $17.68.

On a five day chart the GOLD PRICE made a low this week around $1,206, climbed sharply off that Thursday bottom only to be smacked down again today, but down to a higher low ($1,212.80).

Gold closed today, as it did yesterday, ABOVE its downtrend line from 1 September. Yes, that does mean something. Add to that the MACD turning up, and the RSI moving up out of oversold-land, and there are the ingredients for an upturn. However, no one has yet lit the eye under the pan.

Next week and October promise an abundance of pain for stock investors. But until that US dollar Index takes a breather, silver and gold will keep struggling. Look for them to stage a sudden, sharp rally within the next two weeks. Gold may keep chiseling lower in the meantime. A break below $1,205 sends gold lower, above $1,237 sends it higher. Silver needs to clear $18.00 to begin to turn up, and $18.50 to convince a crowd.

About the time my treacherous brain thinks it's time to throw in the towel on gravity and monetary reality and call Mother Janet Yellum a winner, common sense slaps my jaws and brings me back. I interviewed the great Harry Browne in 1993 when I was researching for Silver Bonanza, and he said one thing I've never forgotten: the size of the rally depends on the preceding government price suppression. So, the longer the government suppressed silver and gold, all the way through the 1960s and 1970s, the stronger the eventual rally and blow up.

In the past 5 years the Fed has increased is balance sheet by about 4 times, a number for which history offers no comparison. The Fed has also suppressed interest rates to zero percent, and, I doubt not, the prices of silver and gold. At the same time, its money printing has driven the stock market farther into the stratosphere.

What happens when the suppression can no longer be continued, and it all blows up?

This is all confusion until you look at the chart and realize that, for all the big moves up and down, stocks have steadily worked lower with lower lows and lower highs, in other words, a downtrend. Yesterday the S&P500 closed lower than its last low (19 September), which proclaims gravity wreaking its vengeance. Today's rally changed nothing. However, it does seem a bit suspicious, even to such an unsuspicious mind as mine, that stocks could find no traction until 2:00, when "some" Big Buyer entered the market. I won't say "Nice Government Men" of the Plunge Protection Team, but y'all know that's who I mean.

Dow in gold rose 1.19% (thanks to gold's fall) to end at 14.03 oz (G$290.03 gold dollars). Still needs to close under the 20 DMA (13.78 oz, G$284.86) to begin to confirm a reversal. However, the MACD had turned down already, as has the RSI.

Dow in Silver ended at 969.58 oz (S$1,253.60 silver dollars), up 0.7%, after making a new high on Wednesday at 974.25oz (S$1,259.64). Still wildly overbought.

On 26 September 1900 the US Mint ceased minting $1 and $3 gold coins and the three cent piece. Why, y'all ask, were they minting $3 gold coins and 3 cent coins? Because they bought a sheet of postage stamps, why else?

Y'all enjoy your weekend!

The GOLD PRICE rose $2.60 today on Comex and ended at $1,221.20. Silver dropped 26.4 cents to $17.37.9, taking the ratio to 70.269 (swap gold for silver time).

The SILVER PRICE is egregiously oversold; RSI stands at 14.95. Yet silver also stands just above its 13 year uptrend line, which ought to catch and hold it. Silver tentatively has made a double bottom around $17.30. Watch that number.

GOLD/SILVER RATIO today hit a new high at 70.269. This takes it back about to where the great drop began in 2010. This is either the very BEST place in the world to swap gold for silver, or the very worst. I am inclined strongly to think it is the best. What would make it the worst? For gold to stop and rally here while silver keeps on sinking. Highly unlikely. How might that occur? Another 2008 style financial panic.

Other metals are beaten down as well. Palladium broke below its 200 DMA today after seven months above it, yet its not nearly as oversold as silver. Now platinum, it's as oversold as silver, but hasn't broken to a new low for the correction, as silver has.

The GOLD PRICE has established a two-legged bottom Monday and Thursday, and it climbed back over $1,220 today -- on rising volume. RSI has climbed above 30 and out of overbought-land (now 32.67), MACD is straining to turn up, Rate of Change has turned up but remains negative.

Meanwhile the whole galaxy plus a couple of planets in other galaxies are negative on silver and gold prices. Frankly, that's the best thing that could happen, because it would mean we have run out of sellers.

Watch for a sharp upward reversal in silver. That will be your signal to buy.

Speaking of the stock market, it dove off a cliff today. Dow lost 264.26 (1.54%) and ended at 16,945.80. S&P500 lost 32.31 (1.62%) and closed at 1,965.99.

A few footnotes: Monday was the aftermath of the Alibaba IPO which became the world's largest -- sure sign of a top. The last four days have seen three digit moves in stocks, down, down, up, down. That extreme volatility characterizes topping markets. That turns the current trend unarguably down.

(First a note about the RSI. Relative Strength indicator measures speed and change of price, and oscillates between zero and 100. However, it's overbought when above 70 and oversold when below 30.)

Look inside. The Dow sliced through its 20 DMA (17,100.57) and fell nearly to its 50 DMA (16,936.47). RSI fell below 50 (momentum is downward). MACD turned down. Gravity is wholly engaged and operational.

Inside the S&P500 looks even worse. It opened at the 20 DMA and plummeted through the 50 DMA (1976) and just kept on sinking. RSI reads 41.26, MACD dropping. The S&P500 is approaching the uptrend line that has held it up since mid 2013, and today it fell through its last low.

Dow in gold zagged down again, losing 1.91% and closing at 13.87 oz (G$286.72 gold dollars). First tripwire confirming a downward reversal is the 20 DMA at 13.74 oz (G$284.03). RSI is plunging, down from 78.90 a few days ago to 57.08 today. MACD MA has turned down, and the rate of change has double peaked and turned down.

Dow in silver hooked down, but only 0.25% to 971.77 oz (S$1,256.43 silver dollars). Remains grossly oversold with the RSI at 78.77, but won't stay there long with stocks dropping like a piano out of a third story window.

The US dollar index is monstrously overbought (RSI at 77.25) but still rose 19 basis points (0.23%) to 85.35. Euro dropped to a new low for the move at $1.2746, down 0.26%. Yen is showing some sign of life, rose 0.29% to 91.98 today. MACD trying to turn up.

Ten year treasury yield fell today, probably cutting off that embryonic desire to rally. Scared money flooding out of stocks into treasuries would have driven their price up and the yield down. Looks set to drop further.
