Homepage / Archived News or Quarterly News / 3rd Quarter 2014
Learning from the past is a useful way to judge price movement in the future when investing in any market.
This page provides a comprehensive overview of gold, silver, platinum, and palladium during the quarter.
For each of the precious metals, you'll find charts. Below the charts, you will find Bullion News Headlines from the 3rd Quarter of 2014. Every news link was originally posted on this guide's homepage.
The quarterly charts provide insight into the volatile precious metals markets, while the news below the charts provides a deeper understanding of the fundamentals influencing these markets.

The two quarterly charts below are a side-by-side comparison of the U.S. Dollar Index and the Gold Price, they typically move in opposite directions.
Watching what the U.S. Dollar is doing is often a way to judge what Gold will do; this isn't always the case, as you can see in the charts below, and if you check the two charts today, it is likely the two are moving in separate directions.
Bullion News
The price of gold during the 3rd quarter of 2014 generally followed one direction: down.
In the quarterly chart (below), the first breakdown in price is pointed out by the shaded horizontal purple bar.
The 'Golden cross' at the beginning and the 'Death cross' near the end of the quarter proved to be insignificant indicators of gold's price movement.
You can see in the highlighted purple bar at the beginning of the quarter that the RSI and MACD show that the gold market had reached the top and was about to change direction. In addition, the RSI and MACD also showed late in the quarterly chart that a positive change in gold's price was imminent.

In conclusion, it looks like the gold chart is making either a triple top or a triple bottom; it depends on whether the price holds above its support level of $1180.00 a troy oz. Only time will determine which way Gold will go.

Silver Price Chart (July 1st, 2014 - September 30th, 2014)
Bullion News
Like gold, silver's price fell consistently during the 3rd quarter of 2014.
The "Golden Cross" in the quarter was a false indicator of the price of Silver, and the 'Death Cross' was simply a late indication of the direction of Silver's price.
Both the RSI (Relative Strength Indicator) and the MACD showed that silver was overbought at the beginning of the 3rd quarter of 2014; in addition, both indicators showed that the price of silver was going to change direction and fall in price.
The big surprise for Silver's Price in the 3rd quarter of 2014 was the Broken Support Price level of $18.00 during the quarter. This broken support level for Silver has now become a resistance level, creating a new hurdle that Silver's price must overcome to demonstrate positive movement to investors.

Since Silver broke its long-standing support level of $18.00 a troy ounce, its new support holds at $15.00 a troy ounce.
The $15.00 support level was last touched by Silver in 2010, right before Silver started its move towards $49.00 a troy oz. (highlighted in the 10-year chart below)

Platinum Price Chart (July 1st, 2014 - October 30th, 2014)
Bullion News
Last quarter, the price of Platinum was moving higher, and its price was getting squeezed in a negative rising wedge pattern. The squeeze in the wedge broke shortly after Platinum's price briefly moved above the $1500 resistance level.
The movement in platinum's price was surprising since the metal had been rallying. There were signs that more platinum supplies were going to be coming back online after platinum miners ended their strike in South Africa. Most observers anticipated a pullback, but not to the extent of the price decrease.
Early in the quarterly chart (above), you can see that both the RSI (upper indicator) and MACD (bottom indicator) sloped downward, right after platinum's price peaked for the year.
Late in the quarter, you can see the MACD's Histogram (blue bar chart) shortening and the RSI bottoming (highlighted in the chart above), indicating that a price change is about to happen.
The MACD's Histogram measures the difference between the Signal Line (Red Line) and the Black line.

From July to late August, the price of Palladium slowly crept up to prices it hadn't seen since 2001, and then in early September, the price collapsed. However, the price of Palladium was able to hold above the levels it reached when the price was squeezed during the 1st Quarter of 2014.
Palladium was the only precious metal able to fight off the selling of precious metals until later in the quarter. In addition, as long as the U.S. dollar stays up in price, it will continue to hold the prices of precious metals down.
