Gold Breaks Key Technical To 3-Month High, Silver Surging

Tyler Durden's picture




 

The last 3 days have seen precious metals surging. Silver is up over 7% - its biggest such rise since Aug 2013, and Gold up 3% - its largest in 4 months. Volume is heavy also. A specific catalyst is unclear but USD weakness is being cited, weak macro data suggesting further easing, China demand ahead of SDR-backing, and finally the realization that the Chinese shift to unconventional monetary policy (LTROs) is a slippery slope to full-blown QE from which few (if any) have ever escaped.

  • Gold broke above its 200DMA at $1209.60
  • Silver broke above its 200DMA at $17.23

My last pay check was $9500 working 12 hours a week online. My sisters friend has been averaging 15k for months now and she works about 20 hours a week. I can't believe how easy it was once I tried it out. This is what I do... www.jobs-review.com

If anyone is acquiring gold or silver this is a cool little program I use that helps me buy dips.  It gets more aggressive as the price drops and is certainly better than dollar cost averaging.

It's all bullshit until the paper market fails, period. The rest of this shit is just noise created by the same asshats that are controlling all the markets, making money by pulling traders from long to short and back again. Disregard the price of gold & silver until they start making large sustained moves in excess of 5%/day. That kind of volatility should be indicative of a breaking market. "should" being the operative word in that sentence.

I'm long Gold (monthly stacker) but one swallow doesn't make a summer.

For this market to move from its tenacious bear market into bull, it's going to have to do a lot more than rise $100 or so.

Sorry. I'm going to keep a calm head here.

 

How many times have we heard about "gold and silver breaking out"? I don't think this "the time" yet. There's more fuse to burn before it hit the detonator. 

 

I must say, on my long journey into micro and macro economics, I HAVE noticed one thing. People don't like grey areas. Everything is binary. If you buy some gold and/or silver as part of your investment porfolio you are a "goldbug" and in the same class as a stacker. If you have some investment in stocks, you are a keynesian who has fallen into the "paper trap". This is what I am trying to avoid. It's very easy to get caught up in all of that horsewank.

 

Ultimately, I am strong gold and silver. But I'm keeping my perspective clear. This will just be a minor rise before it gets slammed again by paper precious metals....

helluva call for a guy who has been calling for $500 gold the last 5 years.

I'm not calling for the bull market resume overnight, but clearly w/ the shitty economic data coming out there will be initiative for the dipshsits at the fed to start QE4/5 sooner rather then later.

What happens here (domestically) is Irrelevant for gold & silver.   And be happy for that, because if it wasn't for what Russia & China have planned, you really would be better off selling it all.   Be patient.   The U.S. is nowhere near done stirring the shit in Ukraine or the South/East China seas.    Let U.S. foreign policy be your guide; not the Fed, the BLS, the LBMA, the Comex, etc.

But that's always why gold matters.  In a hyperinflationary scenario gold is worthless to the people within that nation as a currency, it only matters because it's still worth the same amount in someone else's paper money.

We won't really know what it's 'worth' until the action begins here.   Regardless of hyper-deflate or hyper-inflate, people will be looking for value and portability.   No one alive today has ever known U.S. currency to be in a terminal state of decline, headlong into worthlessness.    But from history, we do know that we're not 'exceptional' in the context of what generally takes place within a nation when its currency begins to spiral downward in value.   That knowledge in and of itself, is adequate to prepare accordingly.

Every time ZH runs an article about big increases in gold/silver prices I go take a look--and they are horribly below the close to $1800/ounce I last paid for gold and the $36/ounce I last paid for silver--and when I paid these prices ZH posters kept talking about gold/silver prices were going to keep going up.

If I take the perspective of an intermediate term PM bull, I am encouraged by the comments that I see to this article.

I see a good mix of skepticism and optimism regarding future PM pricing and CB meddling - coupled with strong fundamentals, and increasingly strong technical’s.  In the past, patient longs have been rewarded in these situations.

I know, I know, we have been here before.  But to those that say it is not different this time, consider the following:

1) There is massive and growing distrust of CB's that is even making it into the MSM (that did not happen as much before).

2) Even historical bastions of financial conservatism, such as Switzerland, have recently been highlighted in the media for QE antics like abandoning the once sacred Franc and propping up equities - not too many years ago, these things would have been labeled "financial irresponsibility" by the Swiss.  Also the much touted and arguably rigged referendum on gold ownership there created a new sense of awareness worldwide.

3) Greek default (whether or not it results in Grexit) is now virtually a done deal, which further calls into question "the doctrine of CB infallibility".

4) Even the technicians have to admit that the weekly chart (more favored by long term trend followers) for Silver looks suspiciously like a long term double bottom, with a slightly higher second bottom.  The recent 200 MA penetration that ZH highlighted was accompanied by high volume.

Call me a romantic, but my old fashioned nose is starting to sniff out the beginnings of a "wall of worry" for PM’s that every bull market needs to climb.

Why would anyone care what is silver value in dolar, when valuing silver.

You can look the other way maybe, yes you can see what is dolar worth in silver. And you can see if dollar is dropping dollar is going up, buy you can't say silver is going up or down, only becouse XAGUSD is moving.

Checking what is silver value becouse usd/AG is going up or down is TOTALY wrong. Same with gold.

If you really have to value silver in dollar you must take into account USD_index. To see something relevant use: XAGUSD / USD_I, anyway valueing money in fiat money seems like a loony idea.

XAGUSD on it's own means absolutly nothing!
