Gold Price Chart (Jul. 1st, 2011 - Sept. 30th, 2012)
Bullion News
In the third quarter of 2012, gold's price chart displayed three golden crosses, indicating a strong bullish signal for gold.
The first golden cross occurred in late July when the 10-day moving average rose above the 50-day moving average. The second golden cross happened when the
10-day moving
crossed above the 200-day moving average.
The third golden cross, not pointed out in the chart (below), happened when the 50MA crossed above the 200MA; this was another bullish signal in Gold's price chart.
Gold's price chart showed clear signs that more buyers were in the market than sellers, the volume of buyers was high, and the RSI (Relative Strength Index) and the MACD (Moving Average Convergence-Divergence) were both in positive territory.
However, near the end of the quarter, the MACD, RSI, and trading volume were all topping out, and the volume of sellers in the market had started to overtake those of buyers. All of these were indications that some consolidation was in order after the rise in gold's price.

Silver Price Chart (Jul. 1st, 2011 - Sept. 30th, 2012)
Bullion News
Silver's quarterly spot price chart closely resembles gold's chart for the third quarter of 2012.
Silver, like gold, experienced three Golden Crosses in the third quarter of 2012. The first Golden Cross for silver occurred in the second week of August, which was later than the one noted in gold’s chart. This event signaled that a bottom had been reached and that a new upward trend had begun in the spot price.
Near the end of the quarter, the spot price of silver seemed to have peaked at around $35.00 per troy ounce. However, when the 50-day moving average crossed above the 200-day moving average, creating another golden cross, it signaled a positive trend.
Silver's spot price at this time was looking for further positive movement, but with the RSI and MACD topping out and breaking down, the future price of silver was in question.

Platinum Price Chart (Jul. 1st, 2011 - Sept. 30th, 2012)
Bullion News
Similar to Gold and Silver, Platinum's spot price experienced two Golden Crosses in the third quarter of 2012. After undergoing consolidation for much of the previous quarter and the first half of this quarter, buyers were eager to purchase Platinum at a discounted price.
Silver, platinum, and palladium are all industrial metals that also serve as commodities for savings and investment. Due to these shared characteristics, their price charts often show similarities.
In Platinum's 3rd quarter chart, the increase in price and investment volume are both positive signs for the next quarter.

Palladium Price Chart (Jul. 1st, 2011 - Sept. 30th, 2012)
Bullion News
Palladium's spot price chart for the third quarter of 2012 shares many characteristics with the previous three quarterly charts of precious metals.
Palladium's price chart has two golden crosses, and both the RSI and MACD were showing positive signs of price movement. However, late in this quarter, Palladium's spot price shows signs of being overbought.
