This Past Week In Gold
The decline in gold prices this year has been classically bearish. Each sharp drop is followed by a consolidation before another sharp drop, thus trapping buyers who have been trying to pick a bottom. This pattern has to change before one can become a confident buyer.
GLD – on sell signal.
SLV – new buy signal.
GDX – on sell signal.
XGD.TO – on sell signal.
