What does gold-silver ratio tell us about precious metals?
The gold-silver ratio has reached a key area of resistance between 80.30 to 80. 55 area and has reacted. This comes on the back of a major breakdown below a multi-year bullish trend line back in early May. So far, the ratio has held resistance here, which suggests that silver might be able to outperform gold again. However, it could also mean that both precious metals may be in a correction phase, with gold falling faster than silver
But given the bullish price action we have seen so far this year, I'm leaning more towards the bullish argument for precious metals than bearish. For that reason, the breakdown in the gold-silver ratio makes me remain bullish on silver.
Meanwhile, the grey metal itself has been testing a major area of support around $28.00 to $29.00 in the last few weeks. So far there have not been any major bullish breakthrough with the metal holding inside what appears to be a bull flag pattern or bearish channel.
