Spot Silver Daily Chart

Like gold, silver recently had serious a-b-c correction wave (15.21$ - 9.42$). Silver bottomed below its 200 DMA, rallied to the 50 DMA (wave i) then pulled back slightly (wave ii).Recently silver succeeded to close above the downward diagonal line connecting the May top and the wave (i) top. Currently the price of silver is above the 50 DMA. In my opinion- silver along gold is headed much higher with good chance for accelerated rally coming quite soon.

Spot Gold Chart

It was a good week for gold despite the futures market rollover shenanigans. Spot gold traded between 603$ and 641$. The price of gold is quick to recover the recent slump, in my opinion value buyers are quietly accumulating. I didn't notice any important news regarding gold and the price behavior is technically normal.

Just before the close of the COMEX trading I noticed an unusual temporary up tick on the spot market – about 2.2$. See the 5 seconds chart below..

If you look closely on the intraday 1 hour chart you can observe potential inverted head and shoulders pattern with initial price target of 681$. Click on the charts below for larger view.

I will post more charts over the weekend.
