I’m not going to venture too far out on a limb with predictions for this rabid animal as it takes the measure of a $50 “barrier” that perhaps too many traders expect to be so challenging. If I were the rabid animal, just to make a point, I’d pop through $50 on a Friday, then leave the precious metals world hanging in suspense by closing $1 to $2 above it for the weekend.  In any event, once the midpoint resistance at 49.670 flagged here earlier falls, its sibling ‘D’ target at 54.725 will be waiting for us with open arms.
