Can the precious metals move lower before a short-term correction, and after correcting, will they continue their medium-term downtrend? Gold & silver reversed yesterday (Mar. 2) and the GDX rallied after bottoming right in my previous target area, but it’s still unclear if the bottom is in. Let’s check what’s happening in the charts. Figure 1 – COMEX Gold Futures (GC.F) In short, gold reversed yesterday after touching the upper border or my target area. Can the temporary bottom be in? Yes. Is it likely to be in? Not necessarily. Most likely it’s not in yet, because gold still hasn’t moved to its strong support levels.
