Is Gold Price Heading to $2,275 - 2,280?

By: The_Gold_Report

USD index has given back recent gains this morning with bond yields continuing to rise.

Gold (+.2%) and silver (+.77%) are rebounding very slightly but there has occurred some s/t technical damage, especially for gold. Copper (- .2%) and oil (-.08%) are lower, while stock index futures are modestly higher across the board.

Yesterday was one of those classic days where the powers that be decided that Jerome Powell was correct in his last press conference when he said, "I don't see any "stag," and I don't see any "inflation."

Accordingly, they took gold, silver, and copper lower with a vengeance as well as stocks after the Nvidia (NVDA:NASDAQ) earnings seemed to suck all of the bullish air out of the room.

I added to Pan American Silver Corp. (PAAS:TSX; PAAS:NASDAQ) yesterday with the June $20 calls at $1.60, so my new average is $1.775. PAAS is called $0.30 higher.

Silver must hold the $30 level lest I be forced to jettison the entire silver position, which is comprised of only the shares and calls in PAAS. If silver cannot hold that critical and much-publicized breakout level at $30, I see $28 and then $26 in a hurry.

I continue to add to American Eagle Gold Corp. (AE:TSXV)as I learned that drilling commences on the mighty NAK discovery on Monday. While it will take a few months to get results, I expect some speculative buying to propel AE north of $1.00 quickly and prior to results.

I will be working on the weekly missive for most of the day, but I leave you with two charts: gold and silver.

Gold looks like it is heading to $2,275-2,280, having broken the uptrend line with yesterday's crash.

Silver, however, is still in an uptrend and while it is coming down off an overbought condition, if it can hold $30, it might be a perfect entry level.

However, I will not add until it gets safely back above $31 and stays there for a few days.
