Summary

Gold/GLD: gold printed the $1892s, s/t broken… not helped by further strength in the dollar.

Silver/SLV: silver printed $23.42, pressured by the weak main market, and also the dollar. A s/t mess until >$25.50, and that looks difficult, considering the main market outlook into May/June.

GDX: miners lower with gold/silver. S/t oversold… due a bounce.

*I hold long via GOLD, AG, HL, KGC.

notable miner: NEM

Newmont set for another reversal candle. Due a bounce.

notable stock: GOLD

Lower with the sector. Last Friday’s reversal candle failed to play out.

Equities: sp’60min

We’re bouncing, but I’d remain open to early Tuesday weakness. 4188/73 gap… would make for a better floor.
