The Pendulum Swings - the Markets are Weary after the 2016 Election.

In last week's post, seen here, I gave you my scenarios of how gold and silver may move if Trump or Clinton won the Presidential election.

My scenario for a Trump win was completely wrong, but only after Trump gave his Acceptance Speech.

Had Trump come out with an Acceptance Speech about radically changing the way things are, which is what traders expected to hear him say, gold and silver would have moved higher, and the markets would still be freaking out over his words. 

But instead, Trump’s Presidential Acceptance Speech was a lot less stressful to the ears in the market, which made stocks rally, and gold and silver prices dropped.

Here are a few articles that agree with this point of view:

The Gold chart below shows what happened in the last few days before and after the election:

1. Nov. 6th, 2016 - Two Days before the Election: The Market Anticipates a Clinton Win and Gold (and Silver Sell off)
2. Nov. 7th, 2016 - The Day before the Election: We see a small move down in the price of Gold
3. Nov. 8t,h 2016 - Day of the Election - The price of Gold shoots up to the level of the highlighted arrow on the chart, but then drops, and holds a small gain.
4. Nov. 9th, 2016 - Day after the Election - Gold falls in price after President-Elect Trump makes his Acceptance Speech.
5. Nov. 10th, 2016 - Two Days after the Election - Gold falls even more in price after President-Elect Trump meets with President Obama.

GOLD (Review & Outlook)

Last week, gold fell through the Ascending Channel.

Gold could easily bounce back up above the bottom of the ascending channel and stay above it, making this latest fall in the gold market an anomaly.  

It remains to be seen how the market will respond because there are many variables at play regarding President-Elect Trump's economic intentions. Additionally, significant damage has been done to gold's price chart. 

Once traders become more familiar with the market fundamentals, it should be easier to identify patterns that can indicate future price direction. 

There has been a lot of damage done in the charts, and once traders get comfortable with the fundamentals in the market, it should be easier to find patterns to tell of future direction in the price charts.

SILVER  (Review & Outlook)

Last week, silver fell below its rising trend-line, but like gold, there is the possibility that it could be an anomaly because of how nervous the markets are now.

The sudden drop in silver’s price has eliminated nearly all short-term technical analysis to try to determine which way silver will move in the future.  

So, like gold, we are in a wait-and-see mode to see what happens in the silver price chart to try to analyze the chart for future price movement.

US DOLLAR  (Review & Outlook)

The U.S. Dollar moved in unison with the broader markets this week.

Before the U.S. Election (dotted line on chart), the dollar rose because most in the markets expected Clinton to win the Presidency. After Trump was initially called the winner of the election, the dollar fell in price, as shown by the arrow pointing this out in the chart below.

However, after Trump made his acceptance speech, the U.S. dollar bounced back and traded higher throughout the rest of the week.

Last week, the market bought up stocks and the U.S. Dollar; it's difficult to say which way the markets will move. Hopefully, next week, more technical analysis can be applied to the price charts.
