There is an intraday commentary here that is essential to understanding how I view the current gold and silver markets.
At least for my own purposes I have pretty much made up my mind what is going on. I summarize it in some detail in that commentary linked above.

For the short term, expect the unexpected. These markets are tilted. Most if not all of them. Those who have benefited enormously from the status quo are resisting change will all their might. They fear the revelations of their duplicity as well as the removal of their sinecures.

And quite a few are blinded by greed, fear, and a false sense of who they really are.
