If the gold price doesn't hold $1,525, they will drop much further, as low as $1,450

The gold price bounced last week after plunging a horrifying 3.4%. Closed $1,571.20 on Friday, up $6.70, but that sayeth little.

Long and short is this: If the gold price doesn't hold $1,525 and silver 2615c, they will drop much further, as low as $1,450 and 2250c. You will know as they unfold this week, because if they intend to continue falling, Monday and Tuesday will be painful days. On the other hand, physical demand at these prices is huge. For silver and gold to fall much further, those buyers would have to disappear. However, if metals do fall, expect even more buyers to crawl out of their hiding places.

Nothing significant has changed for those who follow the primary trend.Gold are correcting. So what? They've been correcting since April 2011 and August 2011. Corrections can last up to 18 months. Stop panicking. Has the Federal Reserve stopped inflating? The rest of the world's central banks? Has common sense, honesty, and financial probity suddenly seized the world's leaders and shaken some backbone into them, like a terrier shaking a rat? Sorry, no. And as long as their idiocy, treason, and parasitism continues, silver and gold will remain in a primary trend, and we are following NOT the daily or weekly fluctuations, but the LONG TERM PRIMARY TREND which hath yet years to run.

Everything but the dollar took a beating this week when Moody's announced it was downgrading the credit of 15 megabanks. No, it makes no sense since every fractional reserve bank is always insolvent and these have been rotten since at least 2006 and everybody knows it and government has bailed them out time and again, but WHAT HO! Trouble with the banks! Markets slap themselves on the forehead as if they'd never imagined such a threat to financial stability.

Meanwhile in Europe, where widespread bank insolvency and national government bankruptcies loom, the eurocrats are cooking up yet another "solution" which bandaids about $700 bn onto a, say, $20 trillion problem. Right, that'll work like square wheels on a wagon.

Yet we live in a world where even lemmings, in sufficient numbers, can suffocate you, and we have to deal with it. So let's look at 'em one at a time.

Gold edges up on weaker dollar, dovish U.S. Fed policy bets

Image
 Gold edged higher on Monday, helped by a weaker dollar and expectations that the U.S. Federal Reserve will reiterate its dovish monetary policy stance this week. Spot gold was up by 0.1% at $1,943.58 per ounce. U.S. gold futures rose 0.1% to $1,950.10 per ounce. “Gold is firm on the basis that the Fed could adopt a further dovish message with respect to average inflation targeting,” said Michael Hewson, chief market analyst at CMC Markets UK. “If you want to have a policy of average inflation targeting, you’re going to have to go into detail as to how you are going to arrive at that particular outcome.” The dollar retreated on Mond ay, bolstering gold’s appeal for investors holding other currencies, ahead of the Fed’s policy decision due on Wednesday. “If inflation forecasts remain at 2% or below, this could offer gold a tailwind as the zero-yielding metal thrives in a low-interest rate environment,” said FXTM analyst Lukman Otunuga. Market participants are also waiting

Gold Price Futures (GC) Technical Analysis – Trader Reaction to Minor 50% Level at $1954.80 Sets the Tone

Image
  Gold futures closed lower on Thursday but up from its low of the session as investors battled a number of factors including U.S. economic data and outside market influences. Earlier in the session, gold fell over 1%, as positive economic data elevated hopes for a quick recovery while dampening the investment appeal of the precious metal. On Thursday, December Comex gold futures settled at $1937.40, down $11.60 or -0.60%. On the data front, a drop in U.S. jobless claims reported Thursday and positive manufacturing data reported earlier in the week are taking some shine off gold. A weaker Euro is also weighing on dollar-denominated gold by driving up thU.S. Dollar Index. U.S. weekly jobless claims fell below 1 million last week for the second time since the pandemic started, but did not signal a strong recovery in the labor market because the drop largely reflected a change in the methodology used to address seasonal fluctuations in data. Earlier in the week, a report s
