agree w/you gann man and kwave. my take is when you see these long tails or wicks. it shows big selling into the resistance areas. they are well defended i think we now test the lows, and guessing, we break 1300 demoralize the bulls and then start up in earnest. the move up does not look impulsive, and does not resemble a wave 3 . this down move should not last long ,into early may and then the impulsive wave up begins. the dollar looks like it needs one more rally to finish its pattern. so a falling dollar w/a rising gold price.
patience and we are not talking about months here. days to weeks .
this and the bus fare will get you on the bus fwiw

the last peak coincided w/the end of buying for the indian festival
so no immediate catalyst
the bond market has a large h&s top !
Dharma, that could very well happen, however it would not surprise me that its just plain ugly and whether its 3 up or 5 up given the huge basing pattern we may not have anything impulsive until it really lets loose norte. Interest rates up again today to major new new highs, dollar new recovery highs since recent intermediate term low (may be ending double zigzag off lows), CRB testing from above 200 breakout area. another key juncture. NEM, AEM, GDX all currently down less than 1%, lets see how we close

agree the base is sloppy. and i believe the start of this move will be stealth forcing folks to chase. here is one patternwatching https://www.tradingview.com/x/d2WmDEV9/ could find support at the fib or downtrend line if it gets more severe, if there are no catalysts. i bought the december lows and have traded around that. i dont want to get to cute, i do believe we are close to launching.
