A third week lower

It was a third week lower for the precious metals of Gold and Silver, with net weekly declines of -$33.90 (2.6%) to $1248.40, and -$0.57 (3.4%) to $15.82 respectively. Near term outlook offers further weakness, not least if the USD continues to climb across the latter half of December.


Gold weekly

Silver weekly

Summary

A third week lower, as the s/t bearish trend from mid November continues. Silver is leading the way lower, and technically.. its becoming outright ugly.

Gold has broken the upward trend from Dec'2016. The last remaining support is rising trend from the multi-year low of Dec'2015.

Lets be clear... Silver broke this summer, has has failed to recover. Gold is following. If Gold sees a monthly close <$1200, whether Dec'2017 (unlikely), or a more viable January, it would bode EXTREMELY bearish, and offer a new multi-month down wave. 

Under $1200, its mostly empty air to the Dec'2015 low of $1045.40.

If we do see a break, horrific implications for the related mining stocks, whether large, mid, or small cap'.
