Just a week ago, gold appeared onthe verge of breaking out to the upside and traded as high as $1,369, makinghigher highs and higher lows. Out of nowhere, gold has reversed and is makinglower highs and lower lows, also known as the torture of a consolidatingmarket.
On the other hand, silver hasbroken out to the upside and has one more hurdle to pass before it will beconsidered in an uptrend. With silver trading just north of $17, there appearsto be a clear path to $17.70 and higher.
This is the tale of two metals --one in the best of times and one in the worst of times. For now, gold should besold at resistance and silver should be bought at support. This is only atemporary separation and the metals will join forces again, but the picture isclear. Until we meet again.
