GOLD Primary and Weekly cycles
GOLD has spiked on the US credit downgrade, and the trend continues to follow the breakout patterns in the Weekly timeframe.
As noted in the previous reports, this trend can last towards higher highs into October (4th Quarter) and then into higher highs into 2012, and the next primary cycle.
However, the price remains in a bubble pattern above 1679 until it revisits the Weekly lows, and it might not revisit the Weekly lows until September.
SILVER Primary and Weekly cycles
Silver remains within a consolidation band above higher timeframe support levels.
As long as Silver remains above $36.80, the trend should continue towards higher highs into 2012
But in the mean time, Silver could continue to consolidate for the next couple of weeks into September, and then decide whether it will begin the next leg upwards using a support thrust pattern and the monthly 50% level.
