What Comes Next for Gold and Silver?

Comex silver and gold futures simultaneously reached two important Hidden Pivot targets on Monday that had kept us confidently on the right side of the trend since mid-March. The former, basis the May contract, came within a penny of an 18.665 target before dropping back sharply — by 30 cents so far. As for June Gold, it topped to the exact penny at a major Hidden Pivot midpoint resistance at 1297.40 that I’d emphasized the night before, including in a chart that showed it as a potentially tough hurdle. The futures subsequently fell to a so-far low at 1283.10 that lay $14.30 beneath the target. We don’t have a crystal ball to tell us how things will play out over the next week or two, but if the corrections in gold and silver prove to be short — meaning 3-5 days — and gold and silver subsequently blow past today’s highs, that would put them in good position to reach targets significantly above these levels.
