In 2008, gold was taken from $1020 to $700 and silver was pounded from $21 to $7 during the period of time that Bear Stearns, Lehman and the U.S. financial system was collapsing.  The precious metals were behaving inversely to what would have been expected as the...

Gold can’t seem to catch a break. The yellow metal normally acts as a safe haven in times of political and economic strife, but in the face of Turkey’s lira meltdown, investors have taken cover instead in the U.S. dollar. On Monday, the stronger greenback pushed...

I have just launched a new series of educational articles on Seeking Alpha that I'd like to share with readers across the other sites to which I contribute. When I began writing for Seeking Alpha in 2011, I quickly encountered a major challenge. I realized that...

Annual core CPI jumped 2.4 percent, the fastest pace since September 2008. Is it the peak – or just the beginning of inflation? And what does it mean for the gold market?

CFTC-generated data for COMEX gold has reached levels normally considered extreme and bullish... but nothing about precious metals trading in the summer of 2018 is "normal". Well, another week has passed and even more important milestones have been reached from a...

In recent days gold has been more oversold than the gold stocks. Entering this week, the gold stocks were fresh off a major technical breakdown. An upside or downside break can lead to a market stretching beyond what typically qualifies as overbought or oversold....

For the last several months or so I’ve been showing you that many of the important currencies that make up the US dollar have been breaking down from large 2 1/2 year trading ranges. If you want to know what the US dollar is going to do the first thing you need to...

Elon Musk is no stranger to making controversial and outlandish comments, and his tweet last week is no exception. As you probably know by now, the perennial entrepreneur announced to his more than 22 million Twitter followers that he is “considering taking Tesla...

Last week in Monetary Paradigm Reset, we talked about the challenge of explaining a new paradigm. We said: “The hard part of accepting this paradigm shift, was that people had to rethink their entire view of cosmology, theology, and philosophy. In the best case,...

Briefly: Gold is likely to plunge below $1,000 this year and we’ve been writing about it for months. This article provides a list of critical long-term factors that one should be aware of if they want to invest in or trade gold, silver, and/or mining stocks. We...

For the first time this year, about two weeks ago the sentiment backdrop became decisively supportive of the gold price and remains so. At the same time, the fundamental backdrop is unequivocally bearish for gold. What will be the net effect of these counteracting...

Every week the market provides us another example of the intellectual dishonesty in believing the substance of any news event was the “cause” of a market move. And, if you cannot yet see that on your own, I will explain it a bit further below.

Gold monthly chart, August 12th 2018. In a sideways range at support.

In my opinion GDX and the precious metals look ready to rally nicely in the coming 7-8 weeks. I have been negative on the PM’s and miners for quite some time now. Keep in mind that I believe that the coming rally will be counter trend, but substantial enough to make...

The term “correction” is meaningless, unless you can specify its size or duration. I have found that a Point & Figure count in conjunction with Fibonacci analysis can give us a fairly good idea of what to expect, especially since they tend to confirm each other...

Large precious metals speculators lowered their bullish net positions in the Gold futures markets this week, according to the latest Commitment of Traders (COT) data released by the Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC) on Friday.

No need to mince words anymore. If the futures market still influences gold’s price, then that price is going to spike. And silver is better than gold.

Summer's doldrums, August's dog days, call 'em what you want: the world's gone nuts and Gold's gone to sleep for the one billionth time instead of responding to any one thing in any one direction. Price settled yesterday (Friday) at 1219; the prior Friday's settle...

The Downside Capitulation alerts in gold of July 17th-19th have been followed by a small bounce, capped with closes just under $1232. Last week saw new closing lows at $1205. This continues to have the makings of a classic undercut of support and a Wyckoff ‘Spring’...
