Sorry I missed y'all yesterday, all the more since it was a near perfect day for silver and GOLD PRICES.

The GOLD PRICE rose today $10.70 (0.8%) to $1,308.70 while silver held its hand and rose 15.1 cents (0.8%) to 2004.2c.

Gold price's little correction yesterday was picture perfect. Friday it broke through resistance at $1,295 after several tries, but closed below $1,305 resistance at $1,303.20. Yesterday it closed down at $1,298, lower but still holding solidly above $1,295 support, and closed ABOVE $1,305 resistance at $1,308.7.

May I warble further? Today the gold price also closed above its 200 DMA ($1,296.90) and, yet there is more. Gold has now rallied out of the Dec-February upside down head and shoulders, broke through the neckline of that formation in a rally to $1,392.60, corrected back to the neckline for a final kiss good-bye last week, and now 'tis climbing again.

THIS would be the place to buy. Although I have not yet decided yet whether the correction is complete, or whether we will see one more up and down, but I doubt any later leg down will drop lower than what we have seen. Above the 20 DMA lurks at $1,319.82. Crossing that will bring out many more of gold's fair weather friends. The gold price has seen its bottom for a while.

The SILVER PRICE stands a gnat's eyelash from flashing an MACD buy signal, the full stochastic is turning up, rate of change is rising, AND (I'm almost out of breath) it bounced off its post-April 2013 downtrend line at end March. Yet for all in its favor, silver must yet close above 2015c. We ought to witness that tomorrow.

By the way, silver's performance yesterday was as good as gold, with a retreat to support at 1975c and bounce back today.

GOLD/SILVER RATIO today ended at 65.298, and is not dropping from its March peak as quickly as I would like, but what would I do with without something to fret about?

On to stocks, yesterday the Dow dropped only ten points while the S&P500 plunged a massive 20.5 (1.1%). That trashed the S&P500 chart. A two day waterfall took it from 1897.28 to 1845.04. This also was a completed key reversal. Today it cut into but closed above the 50 DMA (1,840.57), and flopped back 6.9 (0.38%) to 1,851.96.

The S&P is breaking down. Thus sayeth its position on the chart thus screameth its key reversal. Unless Wall Street's friends in the Plunge Protection Team, the Nice Government Men, step up quick the blood will be flowing up to the horses bridles.

Off a new all time intraday high on Friday, a push into new high territory, the Dow closed much lower, nearly 1%. That key reversal was confirmed yesterday with another drop and close below the 20 day moving average at 16,245.87. Today it bounced like a dead cat off the pavement, up 10.27 (0.06%). As with the S&P500, the MACD indicator has flashed a big red SELL signal. Much lower prices like ahead.

Dow in Gold has plunged in the last three days and today closed at 12.42 oz (G$256.74 gold dollars). This hints but does not confirm that the correction that began mid March has peaked. DiG is about to cross below its 20 and 50 DMAs. Close below 11.62 oz (G$240.21) takes it below the low of the Dec-March fall.

Dow in Silver dropped 0.93% today to 810.38 oz (S$1,047.76 silver dollars). It hovereth above its 20 DMA (805.93), first tripwire of a decline. MACD has turned down, and full Stochastics are confirming a downturn.

Today currency markets overthrew expectations. The Bank of Japan, contrary to the market's expectation, vowed it would hold off on monetary easing -- central-bank-speak for "inflating" -- in the short term. All the folks short yen promptly puked in their wastebaskets and splurted out orders to cover their short positions. Yen gapped up massively, above its 20 and 50 DMAs, from 97 to 98.5 at the widest. Closed up 1.34% at 98.29 cents/Y100.

Dollar took this news like a rockhammer in the teeth. Dropped a huge 50 basis points or 0.62% to 79.83, wiping out all its gains since mid-March. Considering how the US Dollar has struggled since bottoming in March, and now crashes through its 20 and 50 DMAs, it hath little hope for the future. It appears to have successfully transformed a nascent rally into Waterloo.

The GOLD PRICE rose -- are y'all ready for this -- twenty cents today, to close Comex at $1,311.40. The range was from $1,335.70 to $1,308.50.

Gold traced out a strange pattern today, like a cross section of a volcano. From yesterday's lows around $1,308 it ramped up, flattened out, then dropped to the day's low suddenly, and just as suddenly rose back to the mouth of the caldera. Rest of the day it trailed off down hill. Silver trading today looked much the same, only moreso.

The SILVER PRICE gave up 8.8 cents to close Comex at 1995.5c.

Bollinger Bands are a gauge of volatility over the last 20 or so days of trading. When a market hits the top band, it's pushing its luck, and when it hits the lower band it's a candidate for rallying. Both silver and gold are trading at or below their bottom Bollinger Bands. No magic there to prevent a market from punching far through those lines, just less likely. This makes both look ready for some sort of countertrend rally. However, I note that on the way up, both kept punching into that top BB for a long time.

Remember to watch on the GOLD PRICE chart that triple confluence of the 200 DMA, 50 DMA, and $1,300 resistance/support. In silver watch for a spike toward 1950c.

If you want to see a picture of "financialization of the economy," go to http://read.bi/1ixWea3 for the Business Insider Chart of the Day entitled "The Rise of the $156 Trillion Market for Global Financial Assets."

From about $10 trillion in 1980, global financial assets have grown from to $156 trillion. Between 2000 and 2013, debt markets tripled in size. The reasons cited in the article are not the causes, only footnotes. The real cause is twofold, (1) an enormous debt increase and (2) "financialization." Financialization occurs when financing, the parasitical, useless, and mischievous trafficking in paper, crowds production (agriculture and industry) out of the economy. Financialization is simply churning debt, securitizing everything in sight, to profit the financializers, who add no value to the world's wealth, only to their own. And the chart doesn't show the OTC derivatives market, with a notional value of $693 trillion.

Briefly stated, the chart reveals the hyperbolic growth of a tapeworm. My, my, you all are looking a mite pale and peaked. Y'all wouldn't be suffering from economic tapeworms, would you?

Stocks teetered the other way today, up instead of down, but little changed. The two big indices did manage to close above their 20 day moving averages, while yesterday they closed below. Dow added 91.19 (0.6%) to 16,388.77. S&P500 augmented 8.18 (0.4%) to 1,865.62

S&P500 remains within an even-sided triangle whose upper boundary hovers right above today 1,872 high. That triangle tells us naught about a breakout's direction up or down, only that one looms. S&P500 remains with (for now) a double top while the Dow shows a series of declining tops or double tops. This is not the matter from which great rallies are spun, but the Dow's MACD is trying -- trying -- to flash a buy signal.

Dow in metals continued to rise. Dow in Gold climbed 0.385 to 12.48 oz (G$257.98 gold dollars) and closed above its 50 DMA (12.40). About time to about face. Dow in Silver ascended 0.36% for an 819.25 oz close (S$1,059.23) and is well above its 50 DMA and an internal resistance line. A 75% correction would carry it to 823.58 oz (S$1,064.83).

US dollar index tagged along with stocks, teetering the other way today but after an 80.42 high, it closed at 80.09, up only 3 basis points. That smells weak. Anyway, the dollar does nothing until it bursts through 80.50.

Bad news for the Frenken-currency today. Euro fell 0.09% to $1.3825, slap on its 20 DMA. This adds to a series of lower lows. If support at $1.3750 gives, the euro will be diving off a dock with cast iron shoes. Media reasons given for the euro's decline were disappointing business confidence, plus ECB jawboning and posturing.

Yen fell a meaningless 0.04% to 97.80 cents/Y100. Locked in a 99.24 - 96.38 trading range. All inbetween is meaningless noise.

O'Bama today said Russia's further encroachment into Ukraine would be "a bad choice." Face it: Teddy Roosevelt he ain't. He ain't even Millard Fillmore.

Today is independence day in Greece, celebrating their wining independence from Turkey in 1821. Now if they could just win independence from the banks. . .
