Above is the daily Inflation/Deflation ratio and above that window is the daily XAU. The daily Inflation/Deflation ratio leads the way for the XAU (GDX). The Inflation/Deflation ratio updates later after the close and the price shown above is yesterday’s close, which showed a large move down. Today the XAU followed and closed lower. The bottom window is the XAU/Gold ratio, which also usually leads the XAU; today it closed below its December low, suggesting that, at some point XAU, will close below its December low (62.00 range). In conclusion, the intermediate term for XAU remains bullish, but the short term picture (next several weeks) shows a bearish slant. Ideal time for a gold and gold stock bottom is around January 22 (next Tuesday), but that can change. Not sure if the pullback will test the September low, but it could. This potential pullback could lead to a longer bullish setup. We will wait for the next bullish setup.
