Things just took a turn for the worst, and there is no turnaround in sight. Unless and
until demand enters the picture, price will continue lower until it finds demand sufficient to effect a change. For right now, there is no demand apparent. What else can be said. This is like watching a car teetering on the edge of the cliff, waiting to see if/when it falls. The trend is down, and that is all you need to know!
The above introductory comments are edited excerpts from Part 2 of an article* by Michael Noonan (edgetraderplus.com) entitled Gold And Silver – Elites V Gold: Still No Contest. Here’s Part 1 – Noonan: An Exposé of the Elites & Their Control of the Price of Gold & Silver
Noonan goes on to say in further edited excerpts:
Silver – Monthly Chart
…How much lower could silver go? We give $14.65 as a Last Low Before High [LLBH], an area where price will sometimes return as a retest…so it is a price to watch should silver continue lower.
Silver – Weekly Chart
The crux for silver and gold is in the discussion on the weekly chart. Unless and until demand enters the picture, price will continue lower until it finds demand sufficient to effect a change. For right now, there is no demand apparent. It may develop next week, next month, next year, we do not know, but when demand does show up, it will make its presence known.
Silver – Daily Chart
The daily says just how weak the silver market is. Whenever price goes under the lower support channel line, it is in oversold territory. Look for how long silver has remained oversold, evidencing no ability to rally – none.
Here are a few signs to watch as a check on the character of this market. Resistance can now be expected at failed support, the 18.70 area, seen by the thin horizontal line. If the next reaction rally fails to reach that price, and forms a swing high under 18.70, it will leave behind another area of bearish spacing.
Once again, reading the information in present tense, the market gives the most reliable indicators upon which one can rely.
Gold
As with silver, annual gold has not rallied very much in 2014. At the same time, the decline has been small, but in a down trend, supply has been proven. It is demand that must meet the burden of proof for change and demonstrate an ability to sustain rallies.
Gold – Monthly Chart
As shown on the monthly chart below, 1,000 +/- is a logical area of support. Based on the inability of the market to show any kind of support, and knowing Anything Can Happen, that level must be viewed as a possibility, unless or until proven otherwise.
Gold – Weekly Chart
What else can be said. This is like watching a car teetering on the edge of the cliff, waiting to see if/when it falls. The trend is down, and that is all you need to know!
Gold – Daily Chart
Conclusion
…It seems all the news you read has not affected the down trend – at all – when expectations would dictate otherwise. It is the news no one sees that continues to weigh on the PMs, so a diligence in reading the charts remains the best handle, to date.
- Do not be long any futures is the clear message.
- Hold all physical purchases as price is nearer the lows than not, and it is strong hands that buy low, weak hands sell.
- Pick the kind of company you wish to follow.
Irrespective of where price may find support, the developing market activity shows no sign of bottoming, and the trend will not change until a bottom forms. Time-wise, this does not argue for a near-term turn from down to at least sideways, before going higher.

1. Noonan: An Exposé of the Elites & Their Control of the Price of Gold & Silver
No one can outguess the elites’ sustainability of power and control over the entire financial system, including their influence over the price of gold, and, as such, this precludes anyone from being able to intelligibly articulate “when” there will be a transition from “down” to “up” in the price of gold and silver. Unfortunately, as things currently stand, the elites continue to win the majority of the battles, and so control the war. Let me explain why that is the case. Read More »
2. Noonan: “Gold & Silver Will Turn When They’re Ready & They’re Far From Ready!” Here’s Why”
Time is running out for all the 2014 enthusiasts that are calling for higher prices in gold and silver by year-end. The lessons learned from 2013 have been forgotten as not only are prices not beginning to move higher, they are making new recent lows.

4. Noonan: Nothing Much New In Gold & Silver Charts – Take a Look
The market has not changed materially over the past many weeks/months and, as long as the market has not changed, expectations that the price of gold and silver should not change, either. Expectations are future hopes/plans that may or may not ever be realized. Present market conditions are the reality of what is, without getting into the mental gymnastics about the degree of reality reflected in the charts. Market activity trumps everything, and one works with that reality or risks substantial loss by favoring opinion/hopes/expectations. Below is what the charts are saying today. Read More »

16. Noonan: “Gold Ain’t Going Higher – At Least For the Short Term” – and Here’s Why
Does the fast-fading world reserve currency [the USD] look like it is collapsing? A look at the performance of the U.S. Dollar Index does not suggest that it is, weak as it is. If the fiat dollar is not in danger of imminent “collapse,” or even breaking down, then gold does not have this event as an impetus for rallying higher. [Frankly speaking,] until that changes, gold ain’t going higher, at least in the short term. Read More »

22. Noonan: “Where’s the Beef?” We See None in the Charts for Gold & Silver
Fiats have an unbroken track record of failing throughout all of history. Gold also has an unbroken track record of being a store of value for over 5,000 years. Yes, there have been hiccups along the way, and we are in one now. It is what it is, but what it is is also an incredible buying opportunity at “fire sale” prices….[That being said,] a look at the charts of the paper-tracked PM market [beg the question] … “Where’s the beef?” Where is the substance of anything? We see none in the charts. Take a look. Words: 610; Charts :4 Read More »

The best way is to decide for yourself…so let us go to the most reliable source, the market, and see what the prices of gold and silver have to say about what everyone else has been saying about them.

25. Noonan: Charts Suggest NO Ending Price Action In Either Gold or Silver – Take a Look!
