silver and gold




Last week, I posted following statement at the top of this guide's main 'Blog page.'

Most of the Patterns in the Latest Blog Post titled: "A Bearish Pattern has Formed in Silver and Gold's Charts" are still Relevant.

Silver briefly broke below its bearish pattern, but it moved back up into it and is trading back inside it again.

Ultimately, the November Jobs Report that will be released on Friday  will help shape the way Gold and Silver will Move because if it is good, the Fed will most likely raise rates, however, if the Jobs Report is bad, the Fed may not raise Interest Rates on Dec. 19th.

If Interest rates are raised, gold and silver will likely move down.

The news on Friday (12/07) was that the Jobs Report wasn't as good as expected because only 155,000 new jobs were created in November 2018, however, the unemployment rate is still unchanged at 3.7%.

November Jobs Report: 155K New Jobs, Worse Than Forecast - Advisor Perspectives

In regards to what I wrote last weekend on the top of the 'blog page,' even though, the Jobs Report wasn't as good as expected it was still decent and wages are still growing, which is an inflationary signal.

155,000 Jobs Added In November; Wages Rise 3.1%; Dow Jones Rallies - Investor's Business Daily

Therefore, like the individual who wrote the IBD article above, I'm  expecting the Federal Reserve to raise rates on December 19th.

Furthermore, I base this not only on the latest Jobs Report but also on on other factors.

Since 2015, the Federal Reserve has not missed a December Interest Rate hike, plus just recently the Federal Reserve Chairman, Jerome Powell, stated that Interest Rates are 'just below' neutral, not 'at' neutral.

Fed Chairman Powell now sees current interest rate level ‘just below’ neutral - CNBC

Another variable that few seem to take into account before a December rate hike is that nearly all 'traders' will be on Christmas/New Year Vacation after Dec. 21st.

So, the big money managers will not be moving the markets so much after the rate hike, the market will have a good two weeks to digest the next rate hike before it starts trading its impacts on the economy.

In addition, despite the fact that we are currently some seeing downward pressure on the financial markets, in a blog post from October (seen here), the following DJIA chart (below), showed the rising trend-lines to watch as the market to falls.


djia price chart

As you can see in the next DJIA chart, even though there has been a ton of volatility in the markets, that's been mostly due to the recent Mid-Term Election and the Trade War with China, we are still above the 2-1/2 year rising trend-line, and well above the 9-year rising trend-line, that dates back to the financial crisis of 2008.


djia chart

What the market doesn't like is that through interest rate hikes, the Federal Reserve is trying to tame it.

I will be surprised if they don't tame the market too much before the bottom falls out of it, but time will be the judge of that.

My prediction is that 'The Fed' will raise interest rates another quarter of a percent on December 19th, and ultimately Gold and Silver will likely be affected negatively from it.

US DOLLAR


In Review

In each of the 'In Review' sections of this blog, it analyzes the last blog post's outlook. Below is the commentary and chart from the last blog's outlook for the U.S. Dollar. 

The last blog post was titled 'A Bearish Pattern has Formed in Silver and Gold's Charts'

In the U.S. Dollar's outlook chart below, you can see that the dollar is currently trading inside a narrow 'Ascending Channel.'

Narrow Channels rarely stay intact for very long, so this one is expected to break sometime in the near future, the question is;

Which way will it break?

Right now that question cannot be answered, but in the immediate future, the dollar's outlook indicates that it will continue to move higher inside the channel.

U.S. Dollar - In Review - continued

By comparing the U.S. Dollar's 'Outlook' chart below from last month with this week's 'Review' chart, you can see that the dollar did rise in the Ascending Channel.

However, as volatility in the markets climbs, the Federal Reserve has been trying to calm it by stating that it is "just below" neutral on interest rates, which has, in turn, helped the dollar fall below the channel, breaking it.


u.s. dollar price chart

U.S. Dollar - Outlook

The dollar's been moving mostly sideways for the last few weeks, without much of a direction as to which way it will move. 

Traders can't seem to make up their mind on what they want to do until after the Federal Reserve meeting.

The U.S. Dollar has formed a broad 'Falling Expanding Wedge' which it is expected to trade inside until after the Federal Reserve has announced what it will do in regards to Interest Rates on December, 19th.

The pattern is a positive pattern, so the dollar is expected to rise above it sometime in the near future, most likely, the pattern will either be confirmed or denied after the FOMC meeting.

SILVER

In Review

In the last blog post titled; 'A Bearish Pattern has Formed in Silver and Gold's Charts' the outlook commentary and chart below was posted for silver. 


In silver's outlook chart below, you can see the 'Bearish Pattern' that has formed in its chart.

The pattern is a Bearish or Negative Pennant.

The price of silver could trade inside the pattern for a little while, however, it is expected to continue to fall in price and confirm the pattern sometime in the near future.

Silver does have two strong support levels below the Bearish Pennant, the first is the $13.90 level (shown) and the next is the $13.60 price level (not shown).

So silver's outlook is for it to confirm the 'Bearish Pennant' in the next week or so, but it should find support between the $13.90 to $13.60 price levels.


Silver Price Chart

Silver - Review - continued

In this week's silver review chart, below, you can see that the price of silver did break below the bearish pennant and after it broke the bearish pattern it found support at the $13.90 price level and has bounced back up inside the pattern.

(The two sentences below were added on 12/12/2018 @ 10:55 am EST)

Technically, a bearish pennant is confirmed when the asset price that is trading inside it, breaks below it and continues to move down after it breaks the bottom trend-line of the negative pattern.

That did not happen in the silver chart below, therefore, even though what was stated in the last outlook happened (as shown in the previous commentary), the 'Bearish Pattern' technically was only 'broken,' not confirmed.

"So silver's outlook is for it to confirm the 'Bearish Pennant' in the next week or so, but it should find support between the $13.90 to $13.60 price levels."

Silver - Outlook


In Silver Outlook chart below, it has formed a 'Falling Wedge' pattern.

The pattern is a positive pattern, so it is expected to break it to the upside, this will likely happen before the Federal Reserve meeting on December 19th.

In all honesty, silver looks like it could break it in the next day or two, which it could, but whenever it breaks it and confirms the pattern, the overall expectation of silver at this time is for it to continue to test the $13.90 support level (shown) and the $13.60 support level (not shown).

GOLD

In Review

The following chart and commentary was posted in gold's last outlook.


In gold's outlook chart below, you can see that like silver, it has also formed a 'Bearish Pennant.'

Inside the pennant, is the resistance level of $1245.00 and the support level of $1195.00, gold does not look like it will be testing the resistance level anytime soon.

Instead, gold's outlook is showing that it will confirm the bearish pennant to the downside sometime in the near future, and test the $1195 support level at the same time or shortly thereafter.


Gold Price Chart

Gold - Review - continued


In the gold's review chart below, you can see that the 'Bearish Pennant' was denied when it broke to the upside.

Most of the reason for this action has been in regards to the increased feeling among traders that the Federal Reserve may not raise rates at its next meeting, and the possibility of an escalating Trade War with China.


Gold Price Chart

Gold - Outlook

In Gold's 'Outlook' chart below, a negative 'Rising Expanding Wedge' has formed. 

How long gold trades inside the negative pattern is unknown, most likely up until the Federal Reserve's meeting on December 19th, before confirms the pattern to the downside.
