Selected observations from others on gold, financial, and currency markets.

The correction in gold, silver, the XAU, and the HUI began at the same time and finished at the same time. The next move for all 4 should be a dynamic bull move to heights beyond most expectations. For precious metals bulls the move should be QE "Quite Endearing".

And from the best gold market watchers on the planet...

For now, if gold’s firmness since November continues, and gold stays above $1200, it’ll be doing fine. But if it stays above $1265 (the 65 week moving average), it’ll be turning bullish, reinforcing that a further decline is unlikely.

Gold would then turn super bullish if it can manage to rise and stay above $1300, its mega moving average.

Plus this from another writer/analyst I follow, ...

And this week an extraordinary reversal happened likely heralding a major sea change in gold investment. --- This recent buying spree turns out to be GLD's biggest 3-day build in both absolute and percentage terms in many years, a truly extraordinary buying event.

And,

Currency wars continue unabated. On January 21st the Looney dropped an incredible $.02, down $.05 in the last month. As I write the Dollar Index is up a remarkable 2% for the day. With $5.3 trillion dollars on transactions in the currency markets daily, that means someone took a $106 billion hit today. Like the 38% move in 12 minutes in the Swiss Franc last week, we are seeing a series of loose cannons careening around the deck that will soon sink the ship.

I'm 68. I can't recall a single day in my lifetime where the value of the US dollar changed 2% in one day any more than I can recall the SF or any other currency changing 38% in 12 minutes.
