Daily Analysis

Gold prices crashed – I hope you managed to sell the break lower. We have hit 1821 over night. We are oversold short term so a bounce from here is possible but without a buy signal longs are too risky. Minor resistance at 1834/35. Gains are likely to be limited but expect strong resistance at 1843. We can start to sell in to shorts here & add up to 1850 with stops above 1860.

Be ready to sell a break below 1820 for 1813/12 & strong support at 1800/1795 forprofit taking. Longs need stops below 1790. A break lower is an important sell signal.

Silver shorts at 2535/45 offered over 100 points profit as we hit the target of 2325/20. We are oversold short term but gains are likely to be limited with first resistance at 23.55/65. We can start to sell here & add on further gains to 2380/90,with stops above 2400.

Be ready to sell a break below 2320 for 2305/00 & strong support at 2290/80 forprofit taking. Abba the October low at 2256 is the next sell signal initially targeting 2210/00
