Gold Price Chart (October 1st, 2014 - December 31st, 2014)
Bullion News
The price of gold during the 4th quarter of 2014 moved up and down.
Early in November, the price of gold broke below its support level of $1180 a troy ounce, to a low of $1130 a troy ounce.
The break in Gold's support level completed and confirmed a triple bottom in gold's chart.
The RSI (Relative Strength Indicator) is in neutral territory, indicating the price of gold could literally go in any direction.
However, the MACD's histogram (blue bar chart) looks to be about to take a positive move in the next quarter, indicating the price may be about to move higher.

Silver's price movement, during the 4th quarter of 2014, mimicked gold's
choppy trade. (continued...)
Silver Price Chart (October 1st, 2014 - December 31st, 2014)
Bullion News
If you look at silver's one-year chart below, you can see that late in the 3rd quarter of 2014, silver broke below its support level of $18.00 a troy ounce.
During most of this quarter, the price of silver stayed above its new support level of $15.00 (shown in the chart below).
However, early in December, the price of silver traded as low as $14.15, which ties to a previous support level (shown in the 7-year chart at the bottom of this section on Silver), but it managed to close that day above $15.00.

Silver Price Chart (October 1st, 2013 - December 31st, 2014)
Bullion News
Like gold, silver's RSI is in a neutral range, and its MACD suggests a possible improvement in the price of silver in the next quarter.
Silver Price Chart (January 1st, 2012 - December 31st, 2014)

Silver Price Chart (March 1st, 2007 - December 31st, 2014)
The chart below shows the upper support level (red highlight) where silver hit $15.00 a troy ounce in this quarter and in 2010.
Silver's lower support level indicates it reached $14.15 in this quarter and 2009, and breaking below the long-term support level of $15.00 a troy ounce suggests it may repeat this trend in the near future.

Platinum's price in the 4th quarter of 2014 consistently made lower highs and lower lows. (continued...)
Platinum Price Chart (October 1st, 2014 - December 31st, 2014)
Bullion News
Platinum Price Chart (October 1st, 2013 - December 31st, 2014)
Bullion News
Platinum's price peaked early in the 3rd quarter of 2014, at $1523.80 a troy ounce, briefly breaking its resistance level of $1500.
But
it seems the strength in the U.S. dollar has not only taken the wind
out of gold and silver, it has also crushed platinum's price, so much so
that platinum fell through its old support level of $1295, turning it
into a new resistance level for the precious metal.
However, like gold and silver, platinum's RSI is in neutral territory, and its MACD is showing a possible price recovery in the 1st quarter of 2015.
Platinum Price Chart (July 1st, 2011 - June 30th, 2014)
The price of Palladium during the 4th Quarter of 2014 was very choppy, but generally, it moved in a positive direction. (continued...)
Palladium Price Chart (July 1st, 2014 - September 30th, 2014)

Palladium Price Chart (October 1st, 2013 - December 31st, 2014)
