Summary

Gold/GLD: gold printed $1982s this morning, but cooling back a little. I see more each day seeing $2500 before year end. Next resistance is the 2400/2500 zone… which IS viable by end year.

Silver/SLV: silver printed $27.87 this morning, having since cooled back a little. I see increased background chatter of 35/40 by year end. Next major resistance… other than psy’30, is 35/37 zone.

GDX: miners s/t cyclically over-stretched. Black candle, bodes s/t problematic.

notable miner: NEM

Newmont is higher with the sector. The one threat…. a main market drop.

S/t momentum is weakening, and offers some Wednesday afternoon ‘drama’.
