Summary

Gold/GLD: gold printed $2037 >2018 > 2028. Frankly, gold bugs should be content if 2K holds into end month… with the usual ‘pin’/fix due Wed’ 1pm… BEFORE the FOMC announcement. Things turn marginally interesting >2050.

Silver/SLV: silver printed $23.34. Silver bulls need >$26s, and >30 to be decisive.

GDX: miners swinging around with gold/silver. Set for a black candle, or outright red… but the recent low of $27.23 looks pretty secure.

*I hold the quintet of AEM, NEM, GOLD, AG, HL. I’m very content with my entry prices.

notable gold miner: AEM


Daily momentum might turn positive Thursday.

notable silver miner: AG

Not great, if holding above the recent low.

Equities: sp’60min


S/t momentum prone to turning positive early Tuesday.
