Market WrapUp for Wednesday, December 31
Precious Metals Update
by Chris Puplava
Today’s article updates the 10/29/08 WrapUp, “What Goes Down Must Go Up.” The essence of the October commentary was to point out the statistical extreme that gold stocks were displaying on an absolute and relative basis. Gold stocks bottomed two days prior to the WrapUp after putting in the most oversold reading in more than two decades. The Philadelphia Gold & Silver Index (XAU) was 61.3% below its 200 day moving average, nearly twice the extreme seen in prior sell offs that saw the XAU fall 30% to 35% below its 200 day moving average. The XAU has staged a dramatic rally since October, rising nearly 95% in a span of two months. If the XAU continues its bullish trend the next likely target for the XAU is 135 using a 50% Fibonacci retracement level, with the 200d MA closing in on that level as well, though a correction back to the 50d MA is also possible after a nearly 100% move in two months before it heads to a new high.
