A longer term chart to provide current context after this past week's sever technical breakdown.

 

BTW...the XAU is now down 23% from its highs on July 6th...technically a classic crash.

A challenge of the late December 2015 lows is now the likely downside price objective for both gold and silver..

 

Any break below the A/D line channel, however, would allow prices the ability to test the December 2008 lows.

 

For now, we bounce off the lower end of the trend channel while gold snaps back to or toward the $1210 area...the eventual retest will be the key.

 

Also keep an eye on interest rates...lower rates support the metals, higher rates are their sworn enemy.

Forgetting the sloppiness of the pattern, but Is the volume component consistent to an inverted head and shoulders pattern?

Taking off the last of the bear-market-bounce play in NUGT, up9.9%, JNUG up 10.7%.

..also  ..i have read that the longer the time frame the less probability that any pattern like H&S works..

 

i would guess the trendlines should work though..
