Even coming into the New Year, the US Dollar carried bullish potential as shown by a falling wedge pattern. less It’s been a busy week in the US Dollar as the bullish reversal continues to take-hold.

Metals
The popular Vaneck Vectors Gold Trust ETF (GDX) is falling by 2.98% indicating weakness in the entire gold mining sector.

Having been at the financial markets when the Great Recession arrived, she experienced many bull and bear markets – be it in stocks, bonds, gold and silver.

When the interest rates go up, the yellow metal falls, and when the rates go down, gold rallies. The decline in the real interest rates is the most important downside risk for gold. The rise in inflation is the most significant upside risk for gold this year, but there are also a few important downside risks. Not coincidentally, gold was experiencing a bull market during this period, reaching its record high of almost $2010, just when the rates bottomed.

Radomski is the author of Sunshine Profits’ Gold & Silver Trading Alerts and many of company’s investment tools. Theoretically, it’s possible that gold slides to $1,700 shortly and reverses there, but we wouldn’t bet the farm on this happening this or the next week. While silver stole the spotlight recently, I’ve been emphasizing the importance of what’s happening in the USD Index and gold.
Namely, gold moved lower once again in today’s pre-market trading and it’s currently testing its 2021 lows. This gold mining stock has the strongest relative strength in the industry group. Gold paused yesterday, and of course, still doesn‘t look ready to rebound. The digital gold and store-of-value narratives are gaining wider adoption which is a great sign for BTC’s long-term valuation.
