Gold made a new all time high on the weekly close, and the handle is now broken to the upside. Some have been trying to spot a rising wedge in this handle formation, but as you can see it is more of an uptrending channel, as the cup and handle dominates the longer term chart. There is plenty of room for another retracement, and do not expect this to be easy. The premiums on the trusts and funds are low, and there is quite a bit of stubborn bearish sentiment.
Silver is trying to break out above resistance around the 20 level. I suspect it will do so fairly soon.

There are so many cats out there talking their books that it is no wonder that the average investor prefers to sit on the sidelines. They do not know whom to trust or believe even on the basics f the economy.
For the mystery of lawlessness is already at work. And the name of the lawless one will be revealed. Not everyone who calls to me saying, ‘Lord, Lord,’ will enter the kingdom of heaven, but only the ones who do the will of my Father. Many will say, ‘Lord, did we not prophesy in your name? Did we not drive out demons in your name? Did we not do mighty deeds in your name?’ Then I will declare to them solemnly, ‘I never knew you. Depart from me, you servants of lawlessness.'
Matthew 7:21-23
