The precious metals saw minor weekly net gains, having reversed from an early Thursday morning low. Across the week, Gold and Silver saw net gains of 0.6% and 0.3% respectively. Despite the gains, the broader trend remains to the downside.

Summary
Suffice to say, this week could merely be a pause week, before the next major weekly decline.
The FOMC look set to announce QE-taper'4 next Wednesday afternoon, and frankly, I'd be rather surprised if the metals don't see another major smack down.
Weekly MACD cycles look prone to going negative cycle - with a bearish MACD cross next week, and if the metal bulls can't break the recent highs.... a big down wave looks very probable.
