Welcome!

Gold & Silver- Desperately need this to hold!

Cory
October 17, 2017

The chart below is courtesy of Chris Kimble over at Kimble Charting Solutions. I am not a short term trader so I try to stay away from the short term charts. However when presented with a 30+ year chart I take note. Chris is simply showing us there is a strong support line in the silver/gold ratio that we are approaching. The important aspect to note is that an increasing chart is indicative of a bull market. No telling on where we go but it is important for this ratio to bounce soon.

Click here to visit Chris’s site and read more of his technical analysis.

Below looks at the Silver/Gold ratio over the past 30-years. Metals bulls (both Gold & Silver) want to see the ratio moving higher, to send a quality bullish message to both.

The ratio has spent the majority of the past 30-years inside of rising channel (1). When the ratio hit the top of the long-term rising channel back in 2011, the ratio put in a large bearish reversal pattern at (A). This is where both Gold & Silver both started turning weak.

CLICK ON CHART TO ENLARGE

Over the past 5-years, the ratio has created a series of lower highs and lower lows inside of falling channel (2), which is not long-term bullish for the metals. The ratio hit rising support at the start of 2016 and short-term counter-trend rally took place, which took it to the top of its falling channel last summer.

The lows over the past 13-years and rising support (1) come into play at (3), as a dual support test.

Gold & Silver bulls BIG TIME want to see support hold at (3)!!! If support would fail to hold at (3), it would send a long-term concerning message to Gold & Silver bulls. What happens at (3) should send a very important long-term message to the Gold and Silver markets.

    Mark Faber is just getting too old to be politically correct.
    He was, of course, technically and historically correct; he just forgot that it is improper to distinguish on racial grounds, even if there is a measurable IQ difference between races.
    And so that I am not labelled as racist let me point out asians on average have a higher IQ than anglo-saxons (my race), which is why they had an advanced civilization when my ancestors were painting themselves with woad. (Please note I did not say anything about africans)

    Many posters that frequent the KE Report have been posting their non stop dribble about Bitcoin being in a Bubble.
    My question is why don’t they comment on any of the other Crypto Currencies?
    Could it possibly be that they don’t have a clue and continually expose this.
    Does the 19% gain today in Bitcoin Cash mean it is in a bubble to?
    Bitcoin has corrected before as has many of the Cryptos,but guess what?
    There still here.
    What we have been witnessing is a paradigm shift in the use of the internet as transactional exchange as a median for Business.
    I really don’t think we will wake up tomorrow and the Cryptos will be gone. Do You?

      I find it difficult to fully explain the price differential between BCH and BTC.
      They each have approx 61 million coins. They each trade over a billion coins a day.
      BCH is both cheaper to use and faster than BTC, but BTC is worth approx 15 times BCH.There are clearly a lot of incognoscenti in crypto space.

      Oct 17, 2017 17:44 PM

      John, it’s drivel not “dribble” and it is all coming from those who don’t know a bubble when they see one.

        Oct 18, 2017 18:24 AM

        Mathew:
        I will be the first to admit Bitcoin’s rise has been phenomenal,even steep as you may,but it is far from a bubble.
        Where we are at now with Bitcoin, is that a lot of the activity could be contributed to speculation. This is not all bad as it gives the Cryptos exposure.
        The more it succeeds,the easier it is to exceed more.
        I see a lull coming for Bitcoin,even some sort of pullback.That being said the next force of move will be driven by those actually using the Cryptos in everyday commerce.
        That will be the move that will prove the survivability of the Cryptos.

        Bitcoin is in a Bubble, Bitcoin is in a Bubble, Bitcoin is in a Bubble, Back in the day we use to bump the turntable.I wonder what it will take today?

        Oct 18, 2017 18:39 AM

        Drivel would be for the people who actually back up their conclusions with facts.
        Dribble is for the rest.

          What’s there to debate? BC’s bubble has nothing to do with whatever utility it might have. The same goes for gold in 1980. Being in a bubble does not prove or disprove an asset’s legitimacy.

    What comes after the Crypto Bubble?

    Simply put, if more than 100 new sources of this digital commodity have been launched since the summer, then the entire concept of scarcity, and therefore value, begins to erode. In fact, many of these new cryptocurrencies will need to fail in order to maintain the viability of the best-known currencies, bitcoin and ether.

Once in office he pursued policies exactly the opposite of what he campaigned on. Unfortunately Iran is one of the few areas where the president has been very consistent. And consistently wrong.”

    Because it is not traded on a regular exchange,like the NYSE, many think that the cryptocoin market cannot be rigged. I don’t believe that to be true.

    e.g. Suppose I , with bank accounts in several different locations, start up a new crypto with a good idea and white paper.
    Further, suppose I keep back half of these new cryptocoins (supposedly for future sales)
    Now suppose I offer some of these on a coin exchange at a price slightly above market.
    Then I buy those coins, using a different identity and bank account, or get a friend/partner to do it.
    Then i sell them back to myself at a slightly higher price,
    Then repeat selling back and forth at slighly higher prices, bleeding off a few coins now and again to others to pump up my cash holding.
    Do you not think the market could be rigged this way?

    Yen ($XJY) is set for a serious plunge on the weekly chart. We already have an outside week down. There is nothing but air between current price and the lower bollinger band, which is now curving down and is now ready to receive a tumbling yen.

    The monthly chart is even worse. There is nothing between current price and the lower monthly bollinger band which is coming in just under 84. Gold and silver are going to get bent over. Conversely, we should see one hell of a rise in the US stock market as this unfolds. Borrow $$$ from the BoJ at negative interest rates (they pay you to borrow!) and go long US stocks.

      This crap has been goin on for 40 years now. The BoJ owns like what, 80 or 90% of JGBs? No one gives a crap. Sure some day it will end, but whose to say you or I will be alive to see it.

      As long as yen is falling, its all systems go for the US stock market. Banks can borrow at negative interest rates and go long US stocks. The party stops when the BoJ stops or a bubble in US stocks bursts. Neither of those look likely thanks to the Fed put. The Fed will simply print up the difference if the market drops. Ergo the stock market is headed to infinity. The only risk is currency risk, but clearly again, no one gives a crap about the absolute quantity of currency. All that matters is exchange rates and as long as the BoJ prints more, its all systems GO.

    I have heard Bitcoin called “the next fiat”. Perhaps. I still say that crypto currencies have come about because of capital controls, asset confiscation, etc. with governmental abuse. After the Vietnam War, you couldn’t sew gold coins into your clothing and go to another country and sell the gold to start a new life. Metal detectors got too good.

    Well, now, you can have millions in currency in altcoins on the blockchains, and all you have to do is memorize the wallet passwords. You can cross state lines or international lines without your property being taken. Then find an Internet cafe where you can transfer the altcoins to a nearby bank for withdrawal in local currency.

    All this reaction against Bitcoin et al is capital controls by government oversight. Of course the USA does not like Bitcoin – it gets around their currency controls and threatens their debt overhang. The same for China. Both countries have a vested interest in keeping as many people as possible buying their government bonds and using their currency for all transactions through their communication systems. Russia is not far behind in the reasoning.

    Obviously crypto currencies only work when there is the infrastructure to support it – but gold and precious metals also fail in a Mad Max scenario, where barter with goods works.
