PRECIOUS METALS

Gold lost $6.10 on the week, closing at $650.90 (-0.93%).

It remains below its lower trend line, but is above its 65 ema and its 300 day moving average as well.

Both have provided strong support all during the gold bull.

First up is the daily chart that shows a positive divergence between the MACD indicator and the price action. MACD has made a lower low, while the price of gold has not.

Next up is the weekly chart. The dominant feature is the negative MACD Cross, which needs to turn back up before any sustainable rally can occur.

The 65 week moving average has provided solid support all during the gold bull. It presently resides at $626.03, which is just under $25 dollars below its current price (650.90).

To reverse the short term trend $665 needs to be taken out to the upside and sustained as support. STO is fast approaching the 20 oversold level.

SILVER

Next up is the weekly silver chart. The dominant chart feature is the negative MACD Cross. STO is just about at the oversold 20 reading, which may or may not offer support.

Silver also broke below its 65 ema this week and is acting weaker than gold.

XAU

The Xau closed down 3.22 points to end the week at 135.95 (-2.31%). It closed below its 50 day moving average, which is at 138.08.

For almost a year now the index has been trading sideways in a rage between 150-125, and is presently right in the middle of this zone.

Next up is a different daily chart. It shows three fan lines extending out from the 2006 June high. Highlighted in yellow is the upper resistance barrier, and below are its support areas.

Below is the monthly chart of the Xau which shows its 7 year rising channel firmly intact. At the bottom of the chart is the Xau/Gold ratio that shows a break just above its upper falling trend line.

HUI

The Hui closed down 6.70 points to 329.35 for the week (-1.99%). It closed just below its 200 day moving average on the daily chart, which is at 329.59.

As the daily chart below shows, the Hui has tested its lower trend line and rallied up, and is now meeting resistance at its 200 ma.

The dominant chart feature still remains the negative MACD Cross, which needs to be turned upwards if any sustainable rally is to occur.

Next up is the weekly chart of the Hui. Its lower trend line was tested and held support.

The dominant chart feature is the negative MACD Cross; however, both RSI and STO show positive divergences.

The Hui’s 65 week ema has provided support all during the bull market, and presently resides at 322.65. It offers solid support.

Below is the monthly chart of the Hui. Once again the dominant chart feature is the negative MACD Cross.

The 20 ema offers strong support, which is presently at 315.57, while the index is above at 329.35.

The histograms show positive divergence making lower lows, yet the price of the Hui did not.

Last up is the point & figure chart of the Hui. It shows a bullish price projection at 396, which is approximately 20% higher than its present price of 329.35.

INDIVIDUAL STOCKS

Below are two gold stocks in the gold stock portfolio.

Both have been mentioned before, however, one is performing quite well, and the other has a significant positive divergence that has slowly developed over the last several weeks – so both warrant another look.

The charts are self-explanatory so nothing more needs be added. Please remember, both of these stocks are held in the gold stock portfolio, and more may be accumulated.
