Settling the week roughly $120 per ounce off the blow-off top established during the December 3-4 carpet bombing episode that magically occurred a mere ten days before the Fed "pivot." I am absolutely 100% certain that it was a mere coincidence that gold was prevented from "sniffing out" the pivot as it most certainly was that Sunday evening.
After all, the Fed would not be concerned about an exploding gold price if they were planning a major shift in policy that could only be seen as "inflationary," now, would they?
Of course, you will all forgive the sarcasm here, but one would have to be senile to view the events in the precious metals this month as "random movements in free market capitalism."
As a worshipper of ex-Fed Chairman Paul Volcker, Powell can recite, chapter and verse," the parts of Volcker's memoirs where it explains how "the only mistake I made during my tenure as Chairman was to fail to control the gold price."
Between the ammunition banks of bullion manipulators in full employ of the N.Y. Fed, and with the blessing and backing of the Treasury and SEC, gold went out for the week in which the Fed pivoted up 3.79% for the year versus the Dow Jones' 15.13% moonshot in 2023.
Mission accomplished, no?
Getchell Gold Corp. (GTCH:CSE; GGLDF:OTCQB)
I have no trading positions in gold at this time, and only if I see RSI under 30 for the SPDR Gold Shares ETF (GLD:NYSE) will I even vaguely entertain a position. I have more than enough physical metal and a whopping position in Getchell Gold Corp. (GTCH:CSE; GGLDF:OTCQB), down 75% YTD and trading at a level where their 2,059,000 ounces of gold in Nevada are being priced at $4.90/ounce per Getchell share.
If and when next month they make their final $1.6mm payment and secure 100% interest in the Fondaway Canyon property, I am pretty sure that markets will wake up and revalue the asset to somewhere north of $50/ounce.
However, it will probably demand new highs in gold above $2,150 in order to peak investor interest, although volume last week started to flow back in.
Conclusion: GTCH/GGLDF represents an ideal leverage play on the price of gold.
