Gold Price Chart (April 1st, 2011 - March. 31st, 2014)
Bullion News
The 1st quarter of 2014 was generally good for the gold market. Gold's price for the quarter rose a little over 8%, from $1181 a troy ounce at the beginning to $1284 at the end of the quarter.
The price of gold was able to close above $1390 on March 14th; it was the first time it had done this since August 23rd, 2013. But Gold was unable to break the major resistance price boundary of $1400 a troy ounce during the quarter.
$1400 is a major long-term resistance level that gold needs to break and hold above before the price can move higher.
After March 14th, when Gold's Price Peaked, it cascaded down to end the quarter at $1284.50 a troy ounce.
The upper indicator, "RSI - Relative Strength Indicator" (red triangle on the quarterly chart), and the lower indicator, "MACD" (yellow rectangle on the quarterly chart) (below), both indicated that the gold price was topping out. Both indicators can be helpful in trying to figure out the future direction of a price chart.
The highlighted Golden Cross on the chart (below) signals a possible positive future for gold for the next quarter.
However, a Golden Cross doesn't always pan out the way investors hope; look to the 2nd quarter of 2014 to see if the "Golden Cross does.
Other positive signs in the quarterly chart were the bottoming, RSI (upper indicator), and MACD (lower indicator) at the end of the 1st quarter of 2014; both are signs of a move to the upside in the near future.
Note: A Death Cross or a Golden Cross are Technical patterns; a Death Cross indicates/predicts a declining asset price, whereas a Golden Cross indicates/predicts a rising asset price.

Silver Price Chart (April. 1st, 2011 - March 31st, 2014)
Bullion News
Silver's price in the 1st quarter of 2014 was just like gold's price, up and down.
The price in January flirted with its support price of $19.00 and bounced back each time it touched that price. Silver's price also flirted with its resistance level of $23.00 a few times during the quarter. However, the price of silver could not close above or below its support or resistance levels, to give investors a sense of which way the price might move.

Platinum Price Chart (April. 1st, 2011 - March. 31st, 2014)
Bullion News
Platinum, like most precious metals, has been falling in price for the majority of 2013. However, since July 2013, the MACD (lower indicator) has frequently produced higher lows on the chart, signaling a very likely (and actual) price reversal. In addition, late in the 4th quarter of 2013, platinum hit a low price of 1311.70, changing the trend in the price of platinum.
During the first quarter of 2014, the new platinum price trend was characterized by higher highs and higher lows. Before we witness a shift in the price direction of gold and silver, we must see the same indicators on their respective price charts.

Palladium Price Chart (April 1st, 2011 - March. 31st, 2014)
Bullion News
In the 1st Quarter of 2014, we finally saw the palladium price squeeze break to the positive.
This was expected in both Platinum and Palladium's price charts due to striking South African platinum miners and international pressure on Russia about their invasion of Ukraine. These events are very significant in these two metals because South Africa is the world's top producer of platinum, and Russia is the world's top producer of palladium.
In the first quarter of 2014, automakers consistently showed increased
demand, indicating an increasing requirement for palladium in catalytic
converters. Furthermore,
Russia had repeatedly reported lower production and reserves of palladium
for a series of quarters, which helped the price of the metal to
squeeze.
The price of palladium in the first quarter of 2014 clearly displays where technical analysis and fundamentals intersect to explain what is happening on the price chart.
The "Golden Cross" did not appear on the quarterly price chart below until the price of palladium began to recover.
The horizontal green dotted line indicates where the rebound began; clearly, the RSI (Relative Strength Indicator) showed the move in palladium before the other indicators on the price chart.
