GOLD (XAU/USD) & SILVER (XAG/USD) – Buy and Sell Levels

 XAU/USD & XAG/USD have dropped in value recently but a bounce occurred at crucial levels, on a Bullish Divergence.

The rise is unfolding on both precious metals with what appears to be Leading Diagonals.

Of course, when encountering a Leading Diagonal, one would expect a sharp decline before the next wave would occur, therefore, if a drop would occur in a Zig-Zag pattern, then this could pave the way for the trend to possibly continue with a Rally.

As per the previously posted “Fed December Rate Hike – DXY Technicals – Elliott Wave Analysis” article, the USD indeed got trashed and dropped like a rock. In my personal view, the Dollar Index (DXY) is still looking Bearish.

Recently, I was also paying attention to the Mining Vectors, especially the GDX, which is possibly looking Bullish, should break-out of the upper Channel occur.
The bounce from the lower Channel trend-line was in my radar, hence the reason why I decided to post the “XAGUSD – 2018 Bullish Outlook” article.

GDX – Daily Chart:

XAU/USD & XAG/USD could possibly overshoot a bit and exceed the upper Leading Diagonal converging lines, typical scenario for this type of Structure.
