Gold Breakouts Abound

By -

A Sloper was kind enough to offer this post about precious metals, which I appreciate!

Today’s post will be chart-heavy and text-light.  I just want to highlight all of the chart breakouts I’m seeing across the gold and silver complex.  This is exactly what you want to see as confirmation that a new bull market has started.  I marked up each chart and put some comments here and there.  The blue circles represent price targets based on the measured move of the breakout.  Enjoy

The 60min RSI 14 and RSI 5 sell signals on SPX that fixed in the last hour on Wednesday were playing out yesterday. The RSI 5 signal has made target, but the RSI 14 sell signal is still some way short of target. The low yesterday was at a test of the important 50 hour MA on SPX and it could find support there. The falling wedge that I posted on twitter yesterday afternoon is suggesting a possible strong bounce or retest of Wednesday’s high, and if bears want to avoid that then they have important targets below to be tested and broken this morning.

On SPX the key target is rising wedge support from the February low, currently in the 2084 area. A break below would open up the possible H&S neckline in the 2072 area. SPX 60min chart:
