There are plenty of charts targeting $2000 or more in the very near term. If this happens, I’m pretty sure it will appear as a spike on the charts – probably a wick on the monthly candle. It would occur on a sudden bullish surge generated by macro factors in the wider economy and a spike in inflows and investment in the sector. Spot silver is challenging the all-important $19 level. If it succeeds, it should lead to a rapid $2 run. GDX seems to be surging like the proverbial beachball held underwater (target around $54).

This is all great BUT, as I said yesterday, we can’t get carried away with all of this. Think like a bear now, if you want to trade the coming correction. Look for every possible barrier and get out if the charts tell us to. With all of that in mind, here are the gold, silver and GDX charts. Most important, the gold chart…watch it carefully in coming days.
