I believe the charts and the last few days and weeks trading action, has brought us very close to an inflexion point. Either the banksters, with their unlimited financial resources (FED and Treasury backing them) are able to take gold and silver materially lower through their lows made during this one year correction, or they have finished covering their paper shorts and gold and silver start to reflect the fundamentals.  I am still bullish and believe in the latter. However, a weak bounce, followed by taking out the lows  with no massive reversal (such as I thought might happen this week) should provide a definitive answer fairly soon.
