XAUUSD, XAGUSD Charts

Significant corrections are taking place for both gold and silver. So far this is the sharpest drop seen since the mid august bottom. Each Fib line is currently a possible downside target.

Personally, I observe that at the moment some other markets offer superior short term trading opportunities.

Dear readers,

The trend is simply (still) up until it isn't. The move is extended and as the price keeps climbing the risk for a sharp sell off is also increasing. But for now after a modest ~25$ correction gold quickly recovered and made a new high. The trend (since August) support is currently coming at ~758$ . From an Elliott wave perspective (according to my count and understanding )support is at 749$ & 726.5$. Trend resistance at 803$ and climbing. More resistance at round numbers, contract highs , all times highs and Fibonacci targets.


thats all for now...

Gold Yen

Gold Yen indicates some kind of top (short or mid term) is around here so take note and be conservative with bearish USD speculation.

GGP Update

Dear readers,

In recent weeks the Dow Jones World Index had it's worst decline since 2002.
On the same page the VIX reached the highest point since 2003.




Given recent moves in major currencies (EURJPY 169 – 149, GBPJPY 251-219) gold have been as stable as one can expect from a major independent private currency. This is very encouraging to say the least. Odds still favors higher gold rates more then lower USD index.
