A month ago it looked like the U.S. Dollar Index would crash through
its 1-year support line. Instead, the index bounced off it like an Indian rubber ball (remember?) and, in the process, hurt the price of gold and silver. That seems to have reversed in the past few days. Take a look at the charts. Words: 431; Charts: 2
So says Lorimer Wilson, editor of editor of www.FinancialArticleSummariesToday.com (A site for sore eyes and inquisitive minds) and www.munKNEE.com (Your Key to Making Money!).

2. Gold Crashes Through Its 11-year Channel Support Line! How Low Will Gold Go Now?
Gold has done it! It took 11 yearrs but it finally (albeit unfortunately) crashed through its channel support line of $1,690.00 and 200-day simple moving average of $1,663.07 to close out Thursday at $1,645.90 (with an intraday low of $1,636.00) down $22 from the previous day.

5. Bull Markets Always End With a Bang, Not a Whimper, So Gold’s Run Should Have More Legs
[Here is a summary of my]…thoughts on the 2011 gold price peak relative to the last time a long term bull market ended (back in 1980): Long-term bull markets almost always end with a bang, not a whimper, and last year’s price peak was clearly the latter. A 25% rise over a period of about two months last year [does not an] end-of-cycle, blow-off top [make]. No, I think there’s still some room to run for gold if for no other reason than that we haven’t even come close to the “mania” stage that characterizes the end of long-term market moves…[Let me explain further.] Words: 359; Charts: 1
6. Gold Probably Has One More Curve Ball to Throw Us Before Surging to New High
Gold probably has one more curveball to throw us before the final yearly cycle bottom is in which should see it set one more marginal new low to say around $1630 in the next couple of weeks after which I think gold will easily test the $1900 level during its next intermediate cycle.
