Metals remain surprisingly stable

Gold closed the day moderately higher, Silver closed roughly flat. Overall trading/price volatility is very low right now, and this is somewhat surprisingly considering the Cyprus situation. Near term trend is for slightly higher levels, but massive resistance is looming just a little higher.


GLD, daily



SLV, daily


Summary

Suffice to say, SLV remains especially muted in price. We've seen Silver catch a strong bid on opening gaps lower, but it just can't break above the key 28.50 level.

The low 29s - where there is strong channel resistance is going to be extremely hard to break over in the next few weeks.

All things considered, I'm guessing the metals will FAIL to put in a few daily closes above key resistance..and will see a severe drop in April/May.
