The gold spot chart for the last 24 hours looks completely natural. What could be more natural than horizontal and vertical lines?
 
Part of the latest from Simon Black...

IF this is the beginning of a VIOLENT move upwards, commodities are about to get very expensive...

You’ll see that, relatively speaking, commodities are the cheapest they have ever been compared to the S&P 500. There’s nowhere to go but UP.

Gold Could Go Vertical, Fast


If you’ve been following precious metals for a long time, one thing’s for sure, the gold market has always moved in cycles. Going from dramatic boom to overnight bust, and eventually back again.

So far in this “boom,” gold has barely risen 20 percent from its floor. That’s not even close to the minimum required to qualify for a true “bull market” over the past century.

The smallest gold run-up in the past 90 years was 45 percent — more than twice the current gain. Every other rally was far, far bigger:
  • From 1972–1974, the rally yielded a 100 percent gain.
  • From 1978–1980, another 100 percent gain.
  • Then from 2007–2010, a 67 percent increase in the price of gold.
As you can see from the chart, when gold is ready to rise, it takes off.

Every single one of the years in the date ranges above saw an increase of more than 20%. That’s how you know the gold rally has barely just begun.

Regional banks not out of the woods yet.
 
Has anyone taken the time to look into the solidity of their online brokers?
I'm seriously considering moving an account to another broker given the banking concerns. Using Schwab, whose stock keeps sliding lower. Getting a bit nervous having all my stuff with these guys.

Any recommendations for a financially sound broker/bank that also has cheap trades, including options?
 

Yes... but nuthin you can use.
 
Pervy Doctor...
That was an amalgamation of your two prior posts - one noting Pamela Anderson's honest attributes and the other mentioning the crowd getting hosed down. I may have done the surgery but you furnished the scalpel
 
So, we are again at an interesting inflection point. I feel like we broke out here on POG but we need some confirmation follow thru. If we lose momentum here and close under $2000 perhaps the move will be seen as a bull trap. Barring some sort of economic data point or bullish news tomorrow we are susceptible to a beatdown the day before a trading holiday. 2c
 
Although prices have been good/great especially in Aussie dollars If we can hold >US2000 the Producers with unhedged production should reflect the price increases in their quarterly healthy profits reports.

I‘m just waiting for mainstream interest in the juniors producers/explorers to return. Hopefully to see if we have similar action as in the early 2000’s. That‘s when I first observed Zed and one of his mates make multiple great calls/trades on a Aussie trading forum.

They are pushing back... stabilize then thump for the weekend is normal. Not much of a thump for Easter!
 
Gold Silver Ratio is in bull mode, bigger picture a lower high has been set so if we get a lower low next the broader time frame trend is looking solid.

 
SPX Daily - Looks like it is starting an interim topping process. If we get more upside from here before a correction it will be looking stronger. If we roll here it's looking like a dead cat bounce, lower high, look out below. IMO the bear case needs us to stay below B. JMO etc...

 
Silver Weekly & Daily - On a solid move, some significant lines in the sand to cross but so far momentum looks good.

That silver daily chart really highlights the significance of this weeks price action. Silver looks to have sliced right thru that capping congestion fiasco we had to endure in December and January. Would be nice to see some follow thru next week.
