| <b>Gold Price</b> Short-Term Bottom Coming Due :: The Market Oracle <b>...</b> Posted: 02 Jun 2014 06:23 AM PDT By: Jim_Curry
With the position of this larger 154-day wave, the current assumption is that any new rally should end up as a countertrend affair, and - once complete - should be followed by an eventual re-test or break below the December, 2013 bottom of 1181.30. Having said that, there are bullish indications for the very short-term, which is the main subject of this article. The next chart is more important to the near-term action. It shows the 34-day cycle, which is one of the more dominant of the short-term cycles in the Gold market: Of immediate note is that the 34-day channel is also pointing south, and is closing in on the lower 154-day channel line. With that, we should be nearing at least a short-term bottom for the metal, with a sharp rally soon favored to materialize, though we can't rule out slightly lower numbers being seen first. Once this 34-day wave does bottom out, then the normal low-end expectation is for a rally back to the 34-day moving average or higher, with that key moving average currently at the 1293 figure (and declining). In addition to the 34-day cycle, there is also a less-dominant 10-day component, which is also due for an extended bottom anywhere in the current timeframe. This cycle is seen on the chart below: With the above said and noted, we then have both the shorter-term 10 and 34-day waves at or into bottoming range, and with that the current assumption is that the next decent swing low on the daily chart will come from these two waves. In terms of price, any reversal back above the 1262.50 figure on Gold – if seen at any point in the coming days – would tend to confirm an upturn in the 10-day cycle, and likely that of the larger 34-day wave as well. Adding to the notes above, I pointed out in some of my recent market commentaries that taking out the 1289.00 figure on Gold favored a test of the 1277.00 number - and taking that figure out to the downside then confirmed the downward phase of the aforementioned 34-day cycle to be back in force. I like to take a detailed look at how each of the up and downward phases have played out in the past history of each of the cycles that I track, in order to get some idea of what to expect in the near-future. With that, taking out the 1277.00 figure favored a drop on down to the 1254 area or lower, simply due to a normal low-end statistical expectation with the 34-day wave. Going a bit further, the chart below is the most important chart that I track, which shows the daily cycle turning point forecast (in aqua), which is a combination of the dominant cycles on the daily chart of the price of gold. The larger weekly cycle forecast is overlaid (also in aqua), and is pointing lower - which is in line with the position of the larger 72 and 154-day waves. Take a look: On the above chart, the most important periods are when both the daily and weekly forecast paths are moving in the same direction. With this, I have labeled with red/blue/green arrows the times that both the daily and the weekly forecasts line up together. The green arrows show when both forecasts are moving higher (i.e., a 'buy' signal with the model), and red arrows are when both models are forecasting lower prices (i.e., a 'sell' signal). A blue arrow is shown when the models are in disagreement (i.e., a 'neutral' signal). With the above said and noted, we can see that when both forecast paths are in alignment, that the market tends to move strongly in that direction. I should add that, when the daily and weekly forecasts disagree, that the market has more of a tendency to follow the shorter-term (daily) forecast path. With that, of particular note for the near-term is that the next daily forecast bottom is projected for the 6/2/14 date, which is Monday of this week and is plus or minus a day or so in either direction. Thus, the continued weakness seen into Friday looks to be in line with the next bottom for the daily forecast path – which, ideally, should also end up as the bottom for the aforementioned 10 and 34-day time cycles. Summing up the above, the short-term path favors a bottom fairly soon (i.e., 6/2/14, plus or minus) and at least a sharp bounce into what is looking to be June 11th, plus or minus, which is the next daily forecast peak. Until a lower level actually materializes, any reversal back above the 1262.50 figure going forward, if seen, would likely confirm that move up to be in progress, while remaining below the same allows for a continued break down to the 1230's first, only then to set up this bottom.

| <b>Gold Price</b> Slipping Again While Silver Sees Further Risk | Gold <b>...</b> Posted: 02 Jun 2014 03:29 AM PDT One of the most respected technical analysts we are following is Louise Yamada. Her independent research company provides in-depth and thought-provoking analysis on all markets, including precious metals. She has a background of 25 years at Smith Barney and was top-ranked in "Institutional Investor" for four years in a row, before going independent. We have been following Yamada's work for a long time and appreciate her analysis because it is truly unbiased, very sharp and broad (it covers plenty of markets worldwide). An outstanding feature of the analysis is that readers are offered different perspectives on each market, which sometimes reveals trends that are rather invisible. For precious metals investors it helps to put the metals markets activity in a broad perspective of ongoing market trends. In other words, understanding broad market activity is helpful to interpret the state of the metals market. The following is an excerpt from Yamada's latest monthly update for premium subscribers, released today. We highly recommend subscribing to the monthly in-depth analysis of Louise Yamada on www.lyadvisors.com. Gold: Slipping againGold Spot price (GOLDS-1,249.73, see Figure 28) retained a tight trading range through April and May, allowing speculation as to resolution. We have been neutral awaiting technical evidence of a directional move which has now taken place to the downside, breaking the lower band of the tight trading range and failing under the 2012 downtrend again. The breakdown now suggests that there is a good possibility that 1,200 will again be tested. The wide trading range between 1,200 and roughly 1,400 has lasted for two years, not unexpected considering the degree of the prior decline. Now the momentum models from all three timeframes, daily, weekly and monthly are all negative, suggesting the decline could continue. If 1,200 cannot hold, the bear market for Gold that began in 2011 will be extending to a new down-leg and there again would be further risk toward 1,100. The S&P 500 to Gold ratio depicted herein last month has moved up in favor of the S&P 500 outperforming over Gold. We have been very skeptical of owning Gold stocks since 2008 when the XAU / GOLDS ratio broke down, showing structural outperformance of Gold over the stocks (see Figure 29). The reason related directly to the Gold ETFs which enabled investment directly in the bouillon, avoiding fundamental stock risks. A further breakdown occurred in 2013 and now the ratio looks poised for another break (see arrow), furthering the underperformance of the Gold stocks. Silver: Further riskSilver Spot price (SILV-18.82, see Figure 30) is failing along with Gold, currently below both MAs and breaching support at 19; risk 18 or lower. A lift through 19 again and then 20 would now be needed to suggest another rally attempt. Platinum: NeutralPlatinum spot price (PLAT-1,452.75, see Figure 31) has moved little, retaining a sideways pattern above support at 1,400 and 1,325 for nearly a year, and more recently in a narrower range between 1,400 support and 1,500 resistance. The three-year downtrend remains in place, currently intersecting at 1,550, and weekly and monthly momentum are still barely positive and barely negative respectively … effectively still neutral. Price needs to exceed 1,500 to reverse the more negative bias of the downtrends. But maintaining the higher support at 1,400 is a short–term technical positive, any breach of which could return price to 1,300. Palladium: Breakout extendsPalladium spot price (PALL-837.25) has consistently remained the strongest of the metals we cover and has continued to extend gains after successfully penetrating the trading range resistance near 790 (as depicted herein last month). The next outstanding resistance is at 851 from 2011, which price could easily achieve. The current support is 800, the point of breakout.

| <b>Gold Price</b> Per Ounce at a 16-Week Low - Here's What Is Going On Posted: 30 May 2014 12:29 PM PDT
Gold futures for August delivery fell by 0.8% to $1,246.50 an ounce this morning on the Comex in New York. And earlier, the price touched on $1,244.50, the lowest for a most-active contract since Feb. 3, according to Bloomberg. Over the course of this week, gold has dropped 3.6% - the most it has since Sept. 13. Bloomberg also reported that assets in global exchange-traded funds backed by gold fell to 1,715.8 metric tons on May 22, the lowest since Oct. 2, 2009. Here's what's driving gold price per ounce and how to play the yellow metal going forward... Forces Changing Gold Price Per Ounce Right NowSigns of economic improvement in the United States and hopes of a more politically stable Ukraine have both taken some of the shine off safe-haven asset gold. Stocks have been hitting record highs in recent weeks. Other reasons weighing on gold are a stronger U.S. dollar, support levels encouraging traders to short the yellow metal, and lower demand from China. Another big factor: India. Investors around the globe are watching the Indian gold markets closely because of recently eased import rules in India. The Reserve Bank of India (RBI) announced it will allow seven more agencies to commence gold importing, setting prices to drop drastically to $50 to $60 in the spot market, according to The Economic Times. The decline marked the biggest drop in a session in gold price per ounce since 2013, when the RBI imposed an eighty-twenty rule in which 20% of imported gold had to be exported by nominated agencies. Business Standard also reported on the drop, stating that the RBI's announcement of relaxed importing rules caused the Mumbai spot market to crash. Spot gold premium dropped from $80 an ounce to $20 an ounce from May 21 to May 22. Despite the short-term drop, investors remain hopeful that India's new policy will make it cheaper for Indian investors and jewelers to buy gold and will spark pent-up demand. Additionally, they're hopeful it will support prices globally. "I think [gold] could show a huge comeback, depending on how the [new Indian government] policy shapes up," P.R. Somasundaram, managing director at the WGC's India office, told The Wall Street Journal. So far, the international price for gold has remained relatively steady after the RBI's policy news. And that's a good sign for gold investors... A tumultuous 2013 saw gold prices drop 28%. But so far - aside from this week's five-day losing streak - 2014 has been a growth year for the gold price per ounce. "To a large extent I think the bears were exhausted after 2013, and most (if not all) sellers had finally sold," Money Morning Resource Specialist Peter Krauth said. "At the start of the year, gold was coming off a technical low and sentiment extreme around the $1,190 price range." Krauth said this week that "there seems to be too little downside to short the metal now." That's why this low point in the gold price per ounce is a great time to buy. Holding about 5% to 10% of your portfolio in gold - depending on your goals - can provide a great crisis hedge.

In light of the recent developments in the Gold market, I wanted to post an article on the current cyclic configuration - and what we can expect in the very near future. Since my prior article back in December of last year, we have seen the expected larger countertrend rally with the combination of the 72 and 154-day cycles, which were able to take the metal up to a mid-March peak of 1392.80. The chart below shows the larger 154-day component, which is seen as heading lower into the month of August, which is plus or minus a month in either direction:
