Gold's got the juice but Silver maybe about to sizzle teaser image

To no surprise to regular readers – gold bulls are on a rampage.

But how much higher on this run? I think $2,335 is a legitimate possibility before a real correction. The relative strength oscillator on the weekly chart below shows that bulls have plenty of fuel. I would be hard-pressed to sell before the indicator stretched into overbought territory.

What does that mean for silver? To me - the chart below indicates that a move to the top trendline and an upside breakout is highly probable.

The target for silver should the upside breakout occur, is 30 (for now). Note how bulls have maintained relative strength in an elevated position, with the indicator repeatedly failing to resolve all the way down. Now that momentum is turning back up, I think it will be extremely difficult for bears to stuff prices back down at the trendline again, as they did in December 2023.

Thank you and good luck.

Jonathan Da Silva developed a passion for hard money and economics from a young age having been influenced by family who sought to teach me that "nothing is free", and the importance of intrinsic value early on. My interest in markets grew keener during the great financial crisis of 2008; leaning on family with vast trading experience, I began to self-educate on technical analysis and economics- drawing inspiration from the works of individuals like W.D. Gann and Adam Smith. I have been a proud member of the Kitco team since 2017 and hope that my writing inspires readers to consider an objective view of the metals, and the greater financial markets.
