Summary

Gold/GLD: gold swung from the $1911s, currently just printing $1947s. The $1800s are clearly a threat, but that would NOT dent the m/t bullish trend.

Silver/SLV: silver swung from $25.99, currently in the low $27s… as intraday swings of $1 are indeed a regular feature these days.

GDX: miners have recovered with gold/silver. I am still s/t twitchy, as any main market weakness and/or dollar strength, will be a pressure on the metals and miners.

notable miner: GOLD

Barrick Gold recovering with the sector. M/t bullish, as the $37s remain within range before year end.

Equities: sp’60min

S/t momentum continues to tick upward, and we do have a higher cycle low – relative to early Friday. Bounce target 3450/60s. A proper test of the 50dma appears probable… right now, that seems most viable next Tuesday… ahead of OPEX.
