GOLD PART 1 – In Search Of A Bottom
I believe that Gold is in a 3 phase bull market, with 2 phases already behind us. After a 4+ yr bear market, there are finally solid signs of a bottom , in many different areas. There is no gain in clinging to a bias, that is how one loses money in the markets, but by gathering important relevant facts you can develop a check list and watch as necessary things begin falling into place ( or not). JUST THE FACTS. Currently I see things falling into place, indicating that THE bottom is either already in place, or very close. This bear market may be coming to an end, and catching the recent lows has already been very profitable. Riding a renewed Bull will be very rewarding. We will look at " Just the facts" here in our extended weekend report. To the charts...

First a review of recent bullish expectation in Miners:
.
REVIEW- In the last 2 weekend reports we watched the HUI & GDX in the bigger time frame. This is a monthly chart of HUI, on the edge of an important break out. It has spent 6 MONTHS at the lows, a solid base on prior support. Today the HUI is near $150. A break out.
GDX reversed from below $12.50 and also looked ready to break out above from a 7 month base. Above $15-$16 is important. It is now at $17 as of Feb 5. 🙂
We need to look at a lot more than just the Miners and Precious Metals, however. Currencies come into play, along with a variety of other influences, so we'll examine the Metals now, historically , and other factors that can indicate where we are in the process of a 3 phase bull market...
