High quality conversation on the technicals, Doc and Cory!
It might take a while (5 or 6 months) but metals will shine this year.

blow-off top?

Doc, Do you still think we may have a minor correction in gold and silver in the near term before they move higher later in the year? What are your price points you think we will hit as pullbacks that would be a good place to buy gold and silver?

Gold is short term overbought and the extended run is simultaneously a short term reason for concern and a longer term reason for confidence (of the bullish kind).

WASHINGTON (AP) — The Trump administration moved Thursday to vastly expand offshore drilling from the Atlantic to the Arctic oceans with a plan that would open up federal waters off California for the first time in more than three decades.

The new five-year drilling plan also could open new areas of oil and gas exploration in areas off the East Coast from Florida to Maine, where drilling has been blocked for decades. While some lawmakers in those states support offshore drilling, the plan drew immediate opposition from governors up and down the East Coast, including Republican Govs. Rick Scott of Florida and Larry Hogan of Maryland, who pressed President Donald Trump to withdraw their states from consideration.

It’s hard to miss the significance of the 233 and 600 week moving averages but many do!
