The GOLD PRICE closed the day yesterday below its 20 day moving average, but recovered today above that mark. Silver didn't quite close over its 20 DMA today, $16.133 vs $16.18. Next move will be up, and strongly up. A possible bottom confirmation is forming.
The SILVER PRICE must stop playing around and move through $16.50. The gold price has been pushed back at $1,200 like Superman before Kryptonite. If the next strong move is not up, they're in trouble.
How confident am I? I am way long silver and gold.
Yesterday was a tussle for silver and gold after the close. The Swiss have a referendum before them to force their central bank to restore their gold reserves to 20%. If the referendum passes, it means the Swiss National Bank will have to buy (as I remember) 300 tonnes (9.6 million oz) a year for five years to bring gold reserves up to that level. A poll yesterday said the referendum likely won't pass, so gold dropped nearly $20. Whoops, then the FOMC minutes came out, and didn't look nearly as hawkish/dovish as expected (I think it was they intimated even long to higher interest rates) and gold jumped back up. After all the jostling, gold today closed $1,190.70, down $2.90, silver down 15.7cents at 1613.3c.
Don't take you eye off the ball! Point is that they were both driven back to and below support (1600 and $1,175) and they bounced back above support. Strong performance, although silver laggeth still. To be knocked down is human; to recover, sublime.
And in the end the GOLD PRICE closed higher for the week, and most likely both metals will end the week tomorrow higher.
S&P500 eked out a new high today by about one point. Rose 4 (0.2%) to 2,052.76 while the Dow rose only 32.15 (0.18%) to 17,717.88. This will end badly, and soon.
Dow in silver ended at 1,098.24 oz (S$1,419.94), closing in on its 20 Dma (1,079.75 oz). Uptrend has broken. Dow in gold closed 14.88 oz or G$307.60, down 0.52%. Uptrend also broken.
US dollar index lost 4 basis points today, not a killer but another in a long string of up-down-go-nowhere days. Next big move is down.
Y'all enjoy your weekend!

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.
