Inflation Phase One Is Over
I’ve suggested that gold investors need to be prepared to watch gold dip below $1800 (and perhaps as low as $1566-$1450) before an enormous rally towards $3000 gets underway.

The dip is in play, and the big question is… what’s the cause of this dip?
Well, Indian buying has faded, as it always does after a strong rally. Also, some of the global supply chain issues have been solved, even if just temporarily.

Any rally needs a rest, and bigger rallies (500%-700% in this case!) need a bigger rest.
The Trump-inspired “growflation” was created by the borrowed and printed fiat money his administration put into the hands of mainstream America.
Biden has chosen to focus on indirect stimulus. That doesn’t have the same effect on GDP or inflation as direct handouts.
The Biden approach is arguably even more inflationary than the Trump approach… but over a much longer period of time.
For now, the growflation money has dried up, no more is coming, and so GDP and inflation are in a lull… as is the price of gold.

The CRB index appears to be completing the first phase of its long-term move higher.
Note the overbought positioning of the RSI and Stochastics oscillators.

While oil is not as overbought as the CRB, Biden’s decision to release strategic reserves may cap this rally too.
A pullback towards Fibonacci support at around $55 seems reasonable, especially given the price lulls appearing in other sectors of the inflation trade.

Bitcoin is a newcomer to the inflation trade, and it’s also in a lull, as I predicted it would be from the $66,000 area.
I expect government CPI and PPI reports to follow these inflation trade assets into a lull.
What does this all mean for the gold and silver miners? For the likely answer...

GOAU chart
As the lull in inflation intensifies, GOAU could trade a bit lower and make a double bottom in the $16 zone.
Investors should use the right shoulder low of $17.74 as their beacon; if GOAU stays above that low, what’s happening is likely just a simple expansion of the inverse H&S pattern.
To view the potential expansion, please see below.

GOAU could be building the right shoulder of a bigger inverse H&S pattern, with a blast through the neckline on track to happen just in time to ring in a new golden year!
