We are now preparing for what should be the final retracement in the gold price before 2016 highs are exceeded for good. The degree to which this retracement gives back recent gains is open to some variability, but the highest probability assessment is that gold will find support over the next 1-3 months within the $1,295 – $1,305 range. The subsequent advance should take prices above the 2016 peak at $1,378 en route to $1,400+ later this year and $1,500 by early 2019.

We expect a correction in gold will now unfold due to the important support zone that is being tested for the US dollar, which should lead to a multi-month rally for the US currency. As a backdrop, investors should recall that typically (but not always) the gold price and the US dollar move in opposite directions. We can observe this inverse relationship with an examination of the two asset classes over recent months:

Having observed the strength of gold’s surge following the successful retest of its long-term 2011 – 2017 downtrend three weeks ago, the theme for gold now becomes one of working to overcome 2016 highs over the intermediate term. Our focus must therefore change from one of concern that the retest might fail, which implies a more conservative posture, to the health of the long-term basing pattern that is now rounding upward in terminal fashion. We believe new highs for the move that began in 2015 are in store for this year. Retracements will still occur and they will be scary at times, but in the establishment of a new rising trend we should look to be aggressive amidst dips and not fearful on corrections.

Gold is now completing a pattern which repeats over and over again throughout history. The pattern suggests that a critical low is forming, and that the price of gold is set to begin a new primary advancing trend in 2018.

Note that we are not anticipating skyrocketing prices – such is the realm of headline hyperbole. Further, at this firm we have not been bullish on precious metals from 2011 through 2015. Regular readers will know that no bullish articles were published by this firm during that period: we were waiting for the proper technical signals to align which showed that the declines after 2011 had concluded.

Those signals are now visible. A new advancing trend in gold will set the stage for a markedly different backdrop which will impact short-term traders, investors, and mining companies alike. We must pay attention to these signals as they emerge now and before they are widely-known to avoid chasing markets higher – a strategy which usually results in severe losses.

The US dollar is on the edge of a decline that may take many by surprise throughout 2018 and 2019. Conversely, gold, the euro and many non-dollar assets stand to benefit. Certain segments of the US stock market may hold up in a falling dollar environment, especially those which can raise prices to compensate. Yet to use the skydiving analogy: the time to buy a parachute for protection is before the falling begins. As usual, we will focus here primarily on technical analysis, and endeavor to avoid the fundamental-only rhetoric that is so often misleading at exactly the most crucial turning points.

There is a sentiment indicator that exists in the precious metals world that can help us to find high-probability setups for major lows in the gold price – and it comes from the least likely of places: the junior silver mining sector.
