Gold enters the week at $2052. It has support at $2020 and $2000. Gold is trading at the midpoint of its range and has already tested resistance at $2100. Meanwhile, Silver has not come close to testing its previous high and is trading at the low end of its range.

There is no cup and handle pattern in Silver (although there is super bullish potential if it approaches $50), nor is there a bull flag and we have to stop drawing diagonal resistance from the 2011 peak.  

It was a quiet week for Gold, Silver and the miners. Resistance remains at $2100 for Gold, while Silver remains well below $26. The miners lost 4%-5% on the week.
