Gold
Volatility is returning after a very quiet period.
This is a very powerful move after the 4-year consolidation in the box.
The parabolic moves are very clear in gold in most currencies.

This is a vertical move.

In clear air to head higher.

Big break out here against rallying bond prices.

Silver
Silver is looking good here now.

And the big picture is for a very strong move out of this parabolic pattern.

XAU has moved nicely out of that wedge.
The first stop will be 117 with a breather and then to 130.
It will go much higher, but let’s wait and see.

ASX Gold Stocks
Rally to 7700 underway, then much higher.

Bonds
- Yields still heading lower
- Gapped lower

Palladium
Good on every time frame.



Nickel
Breaking out.

Head the markets, not the commentators.
