Silver Plods Along Whilst Gold Soars, Bearish Wedge Pattern? / Commodities / Gold & Silver 2009
While gold has soared in recent weeks silver has put in a plodding performance unable, thus far at least, to break above the zone of major resistance and the return line of the uptrend channel in force from late last year shown on our 2-year chart.

GOLD LONG TERM
Although the week was a good one, even with a day’s holiday, the long term momentum indicator continues to give some concern. As mentioned last week, concern is one thing but what’s happening is another. Although there is concern for the loss of strength shown by the momentum indicator the direction of action continues to be upward.
