Summary

Gold: a fourth consecutive net monthly decline, printing a low of $3941, and recovering to $4014. Momentum weakened for a fourth month, and is due to turn negative as of July 1st. A decisive monthly settlement under the key 10MA. Next support... $3500, and $3K

Silver: the third monthly decline of four, a low of $55.57, and recovering to $58.76. Momentum weakened for a fourth month. and is due to turn negative as of July 1st. A decisive monthly settlement under the key 10MA. Next support... psy' $50, and then the $34s

The performance is even worse, relative to the broadly positive main market.

The concerns this summer, and into the fall should be...

1. If equities see a washout between now and the midterms. Even if the SPX sees just a basic correction of 10%, its almost impossible not to see gold/silver/miners get dragged down to some extent. 

2. If the dollar continues to strengthen.

3. If the Fed raise rates

4. If the US 10yr breaks >5.00% 

Right now... I'm guessing we see all four of those things before year end.

The gold-silver ratio settled April at 62.42. I would note the 32s have been historically important. 
On a long term basis (5+ years) silver could be expected to outperform gold.

With Bitcoin (as at April 30th) $76K, the gold-bitcoin ratio climbed upward to 16.49.

As ever, ratio charts should be especially treated with caution.
Price action is far more important than any ratio.
