Summary

Gold/GLD: gold printed the $1835s. Yesterday’s very subtle (by a literal single cent) black candle – from around the 50dma, has played out. The slightly higher USD isn’t helping.

Silver/SLV: silver printed $23.86, not helped by a weak main market, or the higher dollar. Note yesterday’s reversal from the upper side of what is a multi-month bull flag.

GDX: Miners hit with lower gold/silver.

notable miner: GOLD

Barrick Gold is lower with the sector. Obvious line in the sand for those long are the $22s.

Yesterday’s low of 3678 has been taken out. A settlement <3678 would make for a bearish engulfing daily candle, and would lean especially bearish for Thursday. Orange gap appears on the menu tomorrow.
