One thing I've learned is not to question why price does or does not move a certain direction in response to
news but to remember whose market it is as they maintain control by manipulation.
Eyes open.
LP Good to see you posting again!

Thank you for the contributions!

A reasonable summary of where gold and silver are at by The Gold and Silver Speculator.

reams and reams of analysis are out in the open .

what is the bottomline ? will it be a bullish breakout of 1700 or bearish breakout of 1640 ?

how will the orchestra conductor wave his baton ? up or down ?

by the way, who is the conductor in charge of gold ?

GSR and gold yesterday behaved exactly as expected, if belatedly after wild intraday oscillations we are all used to now, so today GSR should move up ( possibly silver down or both PM down) , but not much, as ideal triangle painting continues.
http://goldprice.org/charts/history/...nth_silver.png IF there is no premature outbreak, the triangle has to resolve on Friday in some direction, latest Monday night , so watch out. It looks like a continuation pattern down, but there are 2 trendlines fighting, and its moving away from fork median ( below):
http://img10.imageshack.us/img10/395...erfeb6th20.png If it does break up first from triangle, resistance lies around 200 day MA for silver, which is 30,63. 31,65 is very important support today. Because of the 4 h fork below -the parallel line support - that has been working now perfectly since Jan 28:

99% of cases if GSR goes up(down) PMs go down (up) because silver always make bigger moves in % due to its higher volatility. There are some cases when its not true, but very very rare. Then I add observations on each metal separately, as there might be cases like yesterday when silver moved up at close, but gold down (compared to day before), so GSR was reduced despite gold going down a bit.

What i like about GSR is that it includes both metals at the same time, and in some cases like now its technical picture is much more clear then silver or gold separately. The triangle is perfect, and which ever direction it is broken in next few days, PM behavior will also be clear short term.

in other words : GSR has inverse relationship with gold/silver , just like ,if dollar up then gold down and vice-versa ... am i correct to say this ..?

Keeping an eye on PA within the trends.
Looking at the monthly pivot 1684 area and her bounce south tuesday was noted.
Yearly pivot area 1665 bounced her north.
While awaiting a break of weekly highs or lows and its confirmation along with trying to keep a pulse on her we look for clues from PA on the intra day .
A breakout on the daily is a heads up

Sis may give some clues also eyes on weekly and monthly pivot area 31.52-62.

Here's this week's Kitco News interview with Gary Wagner. Not much has changed ...still looking for the breakout of this compression triangle (starting about halfway through this video). Basically the same analysis as The Gold and Silver Speculator (and pretty much every other metal bull) so keep in mind the bull bias.

I went long on platinum last summer when it had diverged below gold in August and added more platinum when it again diverged lower in November. After returning to mirror gold until January it did what I had expected gold to do and shot up to $1731. As platinum and gold have been mirroring each other (in scale, not actual price) since gold's $1,900 high in 2011 (though they don't on longer term charts) I believe the comparative level of near $1,800 reflects the "natural" level gold would be at were it not being suppressed and is where I would expect it to go once the central banks let gold off its leash.

Regardless, I'm still waiting until a dip after the breakout for gold (or a major dip beforehand) for mid-term buy-and-hold as I'm having too much success scalping Forex pairs to deal with the current gold nonsense shorter-term; however, I'll buy more long-term investment silver on the next major dip. I won't buy more platinum until gold catches up and it diverges lower again.

Platinum is a VERY different metal with HUGELY different fundamentals than GOLD.
To start it is not considered a "worldwide" currency.

Go to the depths of an underdeveloped country, put a piece of gold in the persons right hand and silver with PT in the left, or vice versa, they will not know the difference. Yet they will know how much that lil' piece of gold will buy them at the market.

EDIT: to answer the question, a huge move out of gold into platinum may shift the price but, you would have to read about pt fundies, ie: catalytic converters, car production, surgical metals, and the BIG BOY which TRUMPS them all the mining WARS! The majority of the WORLD output of Platinum is in South Africa. Silver actually happens to be a byproduct of PT mining.

Look up an SA daily news with PT mining in the text and see what u get.

In essence yes but GSR is even more realiable in such relation, USDx (DXY) PM relation is not always true. Sometimes all fiat dips vs. Gold just at different rates with USD being the slowest dipper, so USDx (DXY) can increase, and gold price in USD as well. That is just natural, as all fiat shall lose value vs. gold long term as long as debts accumulate, but it happens in periodic moves, not all the time.

The point of the platinum and gold comparison was to show that they have a history of moving in tandem and that there are other vehicles related to the movement of gold that one can profit from while gold is going nowhere. Additionally, if one believes that platinum and gold will return to moving in tandem, either gold will rise up to the level of platinum or platinum will fall back to where gold is -- personally, I believe the former is more likely.
