Gold is coming to the apex of a triangular pattern

Norm Winski Independent Analyst

SILVER

April Review Only – “Silver had a March meltdown, reaching the lowest low, since January 2009. Following a good rebound, the market is now trading sideways. Key Dates – 4/2, 4/8, 4/23, 4/30”

Results – 4/2 was very close in price and one day past the low of the month. 4/8 was a good pullback low. 4/23 was a good high. 4/30 was a very good high. Score – 4 out of 4 good dates = 100%.

GOLD

April Review – “During March, Gold made its high of the month near the 3/9 Full Moon at Perigee, then plunged more than $200, into a mid-month low. From that low, Gold rallied to near its mid-month high, for a wild roller coaster ride. Key Dates – 4/8, 4/23”

Results – 4/8 was a good pullback low. 4/23 was a good high. Score – 2 out of 2 good dates = 100%.

May Update – The Gold chart looks like Gold is coming to an inflexion point or apex for a wedge or triangle pattern. Whichever way it breaks out, it should be soon, and should generate a substantial move.

Key Dates – 5/5, 5/7, 5/11, 5/22

Why the WTI sell-off may be hiding a supply warning

9-3: Is the Federal Reserve’s vote tally Warsh's new forward guidance?

The rate did not move. Neither did the statement, and that’s the more interesting fact. Set the July 29 Federal Open Market Committee (FOMC) statement beside the one issued on June 17, and the two documents are identical apart from a single verb and a paragraph at the bottom naming three dissenters.
