Gold and silver stocks had been consolidating bullishly while Gold and Silver corrected.   We documented it in recent weeks and even anticipated more consolidation and correction.   However, Gold was able to break resistance at $1960, which was enough to launch the already strong gold and silver stock ETFs into a fresh breakout. … Continue reading

I have been writing quite a bit about the super bullish setup in Gold.   The textbook cup and handle pattern has a measured upside target of $3,000 and a logarithmic target as high as $4,100. There’s also a smaller cup and handle pattern that projects to $2,500.   But, it is important to note, … Continue reading

Gold mining stocks as a whole have underperformed Gold since 2007. The GDX to Gold ratio from its 2007 peak to its 2015 bottom declined 80%.   The Gold price peak in 2008 was about where it bottomed at the end of 2015. That’s over seven years of a flat market coupled with steady increases … Continue reading

Buy the rumor, sell the news.   Traders were front-running the invasion.    They pushed Gold from $1840 to $1975 in eight trading days. On Thursday, the day of the invasion, Gold advanced from $1910 to $1975 before reversing nearly $100.    Gold has closed the week below $1900 and figures to close the … Continue reading

Gold broke out of its triangle and reached $1900. It was able to lift the gold stocks up and away from critical support.   Since last Friday, Gold surged $70/oz. GDX gained 13%, while GDXJ gained 11%.   After three tests, GDX held support at $29-$30 and rebounded to an eight-month high near $35. … Continue reading
