Gold Editorials & Commentary

I don’t often feature technical analysis as the topic of the week. In this case, however, the Dollar Index is at a crucial threshold that deserves a drum-roll and our close attention. Notice the two tightly spaced purple lines near the top of the chart. These are ‘...

As 2014 leaves off and 2015 begins anew, the main theme seems to be the end of the American Empire, the demise of the Petro-Dollar, the blunt of USMilitary over-reach, and the global urgency of putting the King Dollar into a cement casing coffin. The global movement...

Hopefully everyone is refreshed and ready to start the New Year after spending the holidays with friends and family! During the holidays, I had a chance to shut down a bit and just observe what's going on. For me, this is a good thing because normally I view...

This being my first feature article at Gold-Eagle, I would like to thank the operators of the site for reaching out to us at Elliottwavetrader.net to be a featured writer on their site. It is truly an honor for us to be involved with Gold-Eagle.

There is no metal quite like gold as history shows that humans have a special attraction towards gold as this metal like a parasite has held power over humanity far beyond any rational importance as a resource, even to the extent that hundreds of thousands have been...

If we look at a graph of the ‘70s gold bull market (graph #1) and superimpose the typical bubble shape, we can clearly see that it closely fits the bubble model but stopping short of a Total Despair Phase. Those like me who lived through the euphoria of the ’70s and...

I’m writing this New Year’s Eve day, from the “Play Factory” in Phoenix – where my soon-to-be three-year old is frolicking, on one of Arizona’s few rainy days. Oh well, the ominous, overcast weather is a fitting end to one of the most frustrating years of my life...

2014 was a major transition period for me on several fronts. After over two decades of being a compensated consultant in the junior resource market, I spent 2014 concluding that if I had to do it all over again, I wouldn’t say the classic line, “I wouldn’t change a...

Russia's giant gold reserves have done nothing to protect Russian savers from the collapse of the Ruble... RUSSIA has been the world's biggest central-bank buyer of gold in 2014, taking its national holdings into the top five worldwide, writes Adrian Ash at...

Each week, we prepare a selection of newsworthy events to which the current market can explained, somewhat. This week is no exception, save one difference, that being so many want to see/hear some kind of look into the prospects for the year ahead. Our look ahead...

Long term – on major sell signal since Mar 2012 when $HUI was at 550. Short term – on sell signals. Gold sector cycle – up as of 11/14. COT data suggests lower metal prices overall going forward.

The seemingly-invincible US stock markets powered higher again last year, still directly fueled by the Fed’s epic quantitative-easing money printing. But 2015 is shaping up to be radically different from the past couple years. The Fed effectively abandoned the stock...

I disagree that the US is driving down the oil price. I also disagree that the Russian economy is in tatters. You can’t believe Reuters or Bloomberg. The ruble goes down, and the oil price goes down. This is the news: There is no change in the oil price in ruble...

US$, Crude Oil, Gold, Silver, GDX & GDXJ analysis via videos.

Rather like the oil price crash, the rise and rise of the US dollar was the surprise event of 2014 that every forecaster under the sun now thinks will be the theme of 2015. The consensus often being wrong in investment for well documented reasons, there is clearly...

As 2015 begins I’d like to briefly follow up on my most recent article in which I discussed the oversold condition in the miners. Breadth indicators as well as technical indicators (such as distance from the 200-day moving average) showed the miners reaching an...

Well there’s nothing like being optimistic at the start of a New Year and there are certainly many factors to be optimistic about if you are a gold bull. Gold demand remains strong – notably in China and India with those countries alone probably accounting for 100%...

The “year that was” brought mostly disappointment to precious metals bulls. Silver prices fell for the third straight year, while gold mostly flat-lined around the $1,200 per-ounce level.

The gold manipulation has been nasty and severe, bringing investors to their knees. This is exactly what TPTB wish to accomplish. They wish to discourage all precious metals investors, have them sell all they have and put it into the stock market.

Below is a gold chart I worked on this weekend. It has a lot of information on it to digest. First thing to note is the top rail of the black falling wedge. As you can see the top rail comes in around the 1215 to 1220 area. Not that it means anything but the two...

Looking back - Two surprise transformations at the end of 2014. A year of many surprises, 2014 ended with a couple surprise personal transformations largely passed over by the mainstream media.

Based upon most of the patterns I am tracking on the metals charts, it is not highly likely that the long-term lows have yet been seen in the metals and most mining stocks. That being said, I am still searching for a high probability pattern that is going to...

Another week – another CFTC report – more of the same, namely the large speculative category, hedge funds and other reportable traders, continue their love affair with crude oil. This, in spite of the fact that the black goo has lost 50% of its price since June of...

In Poker, to go all in means to bet everything you have. I do not think it is an exaggeration to say that, at least so far as the mainstream audience is concerned, we gold advocates have gone all in. We have made one argument: we should adopt the gold standard,...
