Gold holding 1317/16 allows a recovery to quite strong resistance at 1225/27 & we topped exactly here on Friday, Monday & Tuesday. Further gains however meet stronger resistance at 1333/35. Exit longs here & try shorts at 1339/40, with stops above 1345. Key to direction is first support at 1317/16; stops below 1312. A break lower is a sell signal targeting support at 1303/01. Try longs with stops below 1296. A break lower is a sell signal targeting the 200 day moving average at 1289/88.
Silver key to direction is the most important resistance of the week at 1675/85. Failure to beat 1675/85 re-targets 1655/60 & 1640/1635 (we bottomed exactly here last week & 2 pips above on Monday). Further losses risks a retest of the 1622/18 low. I see no reason for this to hold on the next test & a break below will be another sell signal. Key resistance at 1675/85. Try shorts again with stops above 1695. A break higher however is an important longer term buy signal targeting 1705, 1720 & important resistance at 1725/30 for profit taking.
