Gold Chart Pattern
Two weeks ago, gold's price had begun a correction after testing the Dec '11 top of 1770. So far, the 20 day EMA has provided good support to the price. The corrective pattern is looking like the 'handle' of a bullish 'cup and handle' pattern. That means a likely upward target above the 1900 level and a test of the all-time high touched in Sep '11.
The technical indicators are reflecting the effects of the correction. The RSI is sliding, but is above its 50% level. The MACD is positive, but has slipped below its signal line. The slow stochastic is looking bearish by falling below its 50% level, but is trying to turn around. Gold's price is trading above all three EMAs - the sign of a bull market.
Add, with a stop-loss at 1650. Conservative investors can wait for a convincing move above 1770 to enter.
Silver Chart Pattern
Silver's chart pattern shows that despite spending three weeks above the 200 day EMA - which should have been a bullish sign - the 20 day EMA has failed to cross above the 200 day EMA. The formation of a bearish 'rounding top' pattern is another concern for the bulls.
The technical indicators are beginning to look bearish. The RSI is steadily falling towards its 50% level. The MACD is barely positive, and has crossed below its signal line. The slow stochastic is below its 50% level, and still falling. Looks like silver's price is in danger of sliding back into a bear market.
Enter only on a convincing break above 36.
