Silver remains in a strong Uptrend. Meanwhile, is Platinum’s bull run ending?


METALS: 11/23/10 Higher closes yesterday for silver and gold while lower for copper and platinum. Copper is still in a strong resistance area looking toppy at this time. Silver made its second highest close of its move still in a strong uptrend while in a minor resistance area. Gold continues to lag behind forming a potential top closing lower once again while platinum also settled lower acting like its bull move is over. Remember to keep an eye on the dollar which has been setting up for a possible rally. This could knock down the metals along with many other commodities that were helped higher by the weak dollar including the indicies. BUY SIGNALS FOR COPPER, SILVER AND GOLD. SELL SIGNAL FOR PLATINUM. CALL FOR DETAILS!
