Gold is majestically postured now because America’s government and central bank continue to borrow, spend, and print money with surreal intensity.

The light at the end of the tunnel is a stagflationary freight train.

A beautiful inverse H&S bull continuation pattern is in play, with a target of $1975!

The red hats waved joyously in the air have been replaced with hand pump respirators from the stone age.

The hospital ships will be filled beyond capacity almost as soon as they open and social distancing is a farce. 

The sad fact is that America is still walking the streets in close contact and Corona is spreading faster than a wildfire.

There is some good news though.

As I predicted, China’s economy is making a V-bottom!

Chinese stock market ETF chart

I own it and I like it. China feels quite stable now, and America feels highly unstable. I like being invested in stability.

Will Corona infect US police departments, and if so, is a breakdown of law and order in the cards? Unfortunately, I’m predicting that is what lies ahead.

The US stock market can rise in this mayhem, but the nation is in a depression. Because the government and citizens failed to take quick action, there won’t be any V-bottom for the US economy.     

The Fed predicts 30% unemployment is coming to America. What’s their plan of action to help? Well, in an act of pure insanity, the Fed is printing money and using it to buy ETFs on the stock exchange!

This, while exhausted nurses work shifts on ridiculous hand pump respirators trying to keep patients alive. The bottom line: Socialism for the rich, while Corona ravages the nation. 

America’s central bankers are beginning to look psychotic.

GDXJ chart

It’s important to follow the rules. 

  The rules I’m talking about are the rules of HSR. Horizontal support and resistance. It doesn’t matter if you are bullion-oriented or miners-oriented. What matters is buying silver and the miners only when gold is at major support, and selling when you have a big profit with gold at resistance.

Investors who followed the rules bought GDXJ when gold traded near $1450.They sold when gold surged to $1700.That’s how to make 40% in a week… while sitting in a bunker!

Investors who followed the HSR rules also did well with the GOAU ETF.

There is often a lot of time between HSR events. It takes patience to follow the rules.  The big zones to focus on now are at $1400 and $1700.

Nobody, including me, wants to see gold trade at $1400.It can happen, and unlike the pathetic preparation the US government did for the Corona war, I want gold bugs preparing all the time, to fight price wars on the gold, silver, and mining stock gridlines…. Price wars they can win! 

If gold can move above $1700, then $1700 becomes a significant support zone, aka “buy-side HSR”.$1800 is the sell-side HSR zone of importance above there.

NUGT and DUST are being revamped as double-leveraged trading vehicles instead of triple-leveraged. Because the price is calculated daily, they should never be used as long term investments. There’s far too much slippage.

SIL ETF chart

There’s a bear wedge in play and volume is a bit negative.

None of that should bother anyone following the HSR rules. Some analysts are looking for a “test of the lows”, but my focus is getting investors prepared to buy SIL, GDX, GOAU, GDXJ and individual miners at gold $1400… while cheering that a mighty blast over $1700 will be the next major move for gold. In my professional opinion, the odds of $1400 happening are 30%. The odds that $1700 comes next are 70%!
