Maybe these horrifying ones will have little effect, too…I’m back to square one: I ask myself whether gold is even a viable asset class anymore…
Next week should see follow through gains if there is any justice. I still think there’s a bigger delayed reaction to this week’s events. There’ still room RSI wise for another $50 rally in gold, and $1 in silver. The RSI has been above neutral now for 3 straight days- it’s a MIRACLE. The last time that happened we were celebrating Valentine’s Day. One thing for sure, the comatose trading has ebbed considerably. Our patient is recovering!
