The October decline came after we had been noting various sentiment indicators were over bullish and Participation indexes were negatively diverging. A hard decline followed and a bounce came as expected with pervasive end of the world bearishness gripping participants.

Commodities vs. gold is breaking back up above the moving averages. A declining CCI-Gold has/had been one of the few positive fundamental underpinnings for the gold sector. It would also be a negative for the economy if it resumes breaking down.
Precious Metals I got back near the end of the day and observed that HUI promptly gave back any in-day bounce hopes and has now closed below the 2008 low. …
Traders be aware that HUI dropped below the 2008 low and is now above it again. It is deeply over sold (weekly chart below) and prone to bounce at any…
The gold-silver ratio and USD are both up this morning. This is punishing to many items including of course, the precious metals. Judging by my screen, it is also pressuring…
