Gold set to make new lows

Whilst the main equity market keeps on rising, Gold and Silver continue their month on month declines. Gold and Silver declined by 6.0 and 6.7% respectively, across this week  Unusually, the normal trading ratio of 2:1 did not occur. Near term weekly trend looks...dire.


GLD, weekly



SLV, weekly


Summary

A bad end to the week for the metals, all the way into the Friday close, with Gold slipping around $30, and Silver 50 cents or so.

Weekly charts look terrible, and we now have a weekly close under what I believe are multi-week bear flags.

Its possible we'll see a brief bounce next Mon-Wednesday (the Bernanke speaks on Wednesday morning to US Congress), but generally, prices look set to keep falling in the weeks..and months to come.

Near term price targets:  GLD, 120, SLV 19/17s.
