Gold Could Reach $2,300 This might seem perplexing for those who read only free analyses from me and didn’t have the full picture – in the last few years I had long and short positions in mining stocks (featuring 12 profitably closed unleveraged positions...
6 months agoAnd that IS a game-changer, even if many people fail to view it as such.This time, the trigger came from the inflation numbers that were above the expected levels and the market now is pricing the scenarios in which the Fed doesn’t cut rates as quickly as...
6 months agoGold’s Final Top?It most likely means that “this is it”. This was the final top for the price of gold for at least some time. At least that’s what the huge-volume sessions meant previously, especially when gold was similarly overbought as it was recently....
6 months agoUnexpected ConnectionsAll right, bitcoin is an alternative to fiat currencies, just like gold and silver are, but what about tech stocks? What could they have in common with the precious metals market?More than it seems at the first sight. In particular,...
5 months agoRecent Trends in Gold and USD IndexAnd it’s happening without a rally in the USD Index. So, yes, the price of the yellow metal can indeed move also down, not only up. And since the medium-term trend in junior mining stocks did not change despite gold’s re...

1 month agoUSD Index Holds Support ZoneI’ve previously written that gold may confirm its breakout, and unless anything major happened in other markets, this would be a bullish sign. I’ve been waiting to post today’s analysis for the market open, as I wanted to check...
4 weeks agoCurrency Behavior Defies ExpectationsIn my view, incorrectly so. We’ll see what happens in just several hours. I previously wrote that the markets appear to be reacting to rate cuts and hikes in the opposite way to what seems logical, but it can all be ex...
3 weeks agoUSD Index Poised for a RallyPerhaps GDXJ will do the same shortly.Gold’s strength, silver’s breakout, and a clearly unconfirmed breakout in the GDXJ may seem perplexing when taken separately, but together, they paint the same picture: the precious metals...
3 weeks agoFibonacci Extension: Gold Nearing Its TargetThis has been one of the “the market can stay irrational longer than you can remain logical” cases, as gold has been moving higher relentlessly despite the USD Index’s broad bottom and breakout in the USD/YEN cu...
2 weeks agoGold’s Rising Wedge Breaks: A Bearish Indicator“So far” is the most important part of the above sentence. Perhaps writing “yet” would be even better. The yellow metal moved lower after touching its upside price target, which means that the decline we see...
