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.

“A nation can survive its fools, and even the ambitious. But it cannot survive treason from within. For the traitor appears not a traitor; he wears their face and their arguments, he appeals to the baseness that lies deep in the hearts of all men. He rots the soul of a nation, he works secretly and unknown in the night to undermine the pillars of the city, he infects the body politic so that it can no longer resist. A murderer is less to fear. The traitor is the plague.” Marcus Tullius Cicero
