One of my best-performing ETF shorts continues to be the metals and mining fund symbol XME. It has been turning away from its fourth clear reversal pattern (see cyan tints), and I anticipate much lower prices to come in the months ahead.

In yesterday morning’s Bold Gold Rolled post, I suggest that the selloff in precious metals might be nearing an end. That seems to have panned out so far. Below are some relevant charts that appear to have found stability at present price levels.

In spite of the President’s declaration on Saturday that the dollar was “too strong”, King Dollar is holding its own and, in turn, gold continues to get battered. It has tumbled hard pretty much every day since February 20th. I wanted to mention, however, that it could be finding a reasonable area of strength soon.

The number in the title is in honor of the boldest forecast burped up by the gold community in February as the metal (and the miners) jerked upward and jerked the holdout would-be enthusiasts into the market. It was included in the anonymous (but real) quotes from a cautionary post last week on the Gold Bull Horns.
We also used these quotes in an NFTRH update in order to try to make a point, despite what were very short-term contrarian bullish readings that day (per Sentimentrader’s data) for junior and senior gold miners.
(more…)One of my favorite charts these days, symbol XME, is the metals and mining fund. We are turning away from the fourth major reversal pattern on this.
