Silver backed off 16.9 cents to $16.956.
As I've said until y'all believe I am repeating myself, the GOLD PRICE logically would take a day or two to work through that neckline, more, perhaps, since it is the downtrend line that connects the October and December highs. Momentum remains up.
The SILVER PRICE couldn't batter through the downtrend line from the August 2013 high today, and kissed-back to the boundary of the diamond it escaped yesterday. Normal behavior for a breakout. Next move should be moonward.

Copper is crashing, following oil's trajectory. Copper is called "Dr. Copper" because of its ability to predict the future for stocks. If you would like to understand why oil and copper are tanking, take a few moments to read David Stockman's 17 December 2014 article, "I'm Not Buying It" at http://bit.ly/1y04XL5 Stockman does an excellent job of explaining how basic commodity prices were driven to laughable highs by central bank money creation world-wide. (Course, it's not the central banks alone. They couldn't do much without their partners in crime, the fractional reserve banking system.)

But in US dollars, that scrofulous paper, WTIC oil has made a key reversal yesterday and today, diving into new low territory yesterday with a higher close, followed by a higher close today, up 5.44% to US$48.62/barrel. Needs one more higher day.
All right, today. Bad day for stocks. Indices were down across the board.

Taken together these commodity declines are signalling deflation, but remember falling prices are not deflation itself. Rather, deflation is a decrease in the money supply that generally results in lower prices. It's just about impossible to have "deflation" under today's monetary regime, since central banks are without let or hesitation mountainously inflating ("creating new money"), but all the artificial demand for commodities created by huge money printing and credit creation is now collapsing.
So wait! Won't that suck down silver and gold, too? Nope, because they are not commodities. Gold and silver are MONEY.
Dow fell 186.59 (1.06%) to close at 17,429.09. Low came a hair -- two points -- above the last low (17,262). Tomorrow would be a grand day for a nose-dive. Once the Dow breaks that low, next safety net is the December low at 17,067, and 200 or 300 points is nothing when the Dow is whizzing downhill.
S&P500 lost 11.76 (0.58%) to 2,011.27, and is in the same shape as the Dow. Both are not far from their crucial 200 Day Moving Averages, 1,965.28 and 16,998.93.
This collapse may be a Big One.
Dow in Gold slipped 0.91% to G$293.13 gold dollars (14.18 oz). It is falling down the lower Gator Jaw, ready to fall through and dive sure enough.
Dow in silver rose, a tiny little fishhook on the line, 0.41% to S$1,338.00 silver dollars (1,034.86 troy ounces). Just like gold in a Gator Jaws or broadening top pattern.
US dollar index is beginning to roll over, maybe, perhaps. Skidded 18 basis points (0.19%) to 92.28. For the first time in 10 days (save one) the euro rose today, up 0.9% to $1.1786. One blue martin doth not a martin house fill. Needs more proof. Yen rose 0.45% to 85.22 and really is rallying above its 50 DMA!
Yield on the 10 year US treasury note is sinking like a Holstein cow shoved out of a Russian cargo jet. Closed today down 2.8% to 1.837%.

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.
