Greetings!

Gold has traded well off of its lows to firm and close nominally higher this afternoon. A stronger equities market and a firming euro dollar seem to have been supportive of the precious metals complex.
 
Today is a holiday in the United States so thin trading is the best description of activity there. Gold seems to be forming a base and the 1645 pivot area has not provided enough resistance to foster any correction.

Greece and the banks that provide it credit held talks that ended without any agreement or resolution of serious issues.
 
As always wishing you good trading,

Proper Action

Gold: Maintain long (1580) position. The resistance we had

 at 1625 has been taken out. The resistance level of 1645-1650  

has been hit but not taken out. It seems as though gold  

is forming a base and consolidating within this area. 

 

 Silver: I remain modestly bullish. Silver does in fact seem  

to be trading in tandem with gold.  Our basic target still remains 30.80;  

this is the area where I believe silver could find strong resistance.


MARKET FORECAST

Gary S. Wagner

   

GOLD: If we look at a Fibonacci retracement from this recent low to recent high, the low of 1620 does fall below a 23% retracement. That being said, in no way do I believe that that completed any kind of a minor corrective wave. That would still put our intermediate count at wave one; however, we need to see how this unfolds. In the interim we will maintain our long position from 1580 and look to add to this position upon a defined and substantial breakout to the upside. We will look to pull profits on this position if we see signs of weakness develop in the market and if gold prices are unable to break above this 1645-50 price point.

  

SILVER: On a weekly chart, as well as our daily charts, silver looks to be following gold's lead and trading higher with defined rallies. Look at gold prices for our cue to an indication for the direction of silver.
