This first chart for tonight is the GOLD:XAU ratio combo chart we’ve been following very closely. I just want to make it perfectly clear what this ratio chart is telling us. The ratio chart on top is telling us that gold is in a parabolic collapse vs the XAU after 20 years of out performance. Even though they can both go up together the XAU stocks are going up parabolic to gold as shown by the vertical move down in the ratio and the vertical move up in the XAU.
When the ratio broke down from its double top all time highs at 24.33 there has only been one month, May, that the ratio had a small rally and backtested to the bottom of the S&R zone at 15. You can see the same thing happened on the XAU chart at the bottom, where it just went sideways in May. We are witnessing an unprecedented rebalancing of the precious metals stocks to gold. This started in January of this year and shows no signs of abating.
If you’ve been a precious metals complex investor, or as some like to call them gold bugs, this is the absolute best buying opportunity in 20 years to buy your favorite precious metals stocks. The unwinding of the parabolic 20 year arc is something you don’t see every day and to be on the ground floor of the rebalancing move should be very rewarding if one can stay in the saddle.
Below is another ratio chart in which I compare the HUI to gold. When the ratio is rising, the HUI is outperforming gold. If the ratio chart above has any validity then we should see the HUI rising in a near vertical move vs gold. After building out a Diamond reversal pattern at the bear market low, this ratio has been in a strong impulse move higher. Note the breakout and backtest to the top rail of the current bullish rising wedge. As long as the apex holds support we need to let this ratio fulfill its destiny.
This next chart is a 10 month daily chart for gold which shows the breakout and backtest to the top rail of its six point bullish expanding rising wedge. If gold is just now breaking out in a brand new impulse move up, what does that say about the GOLD:XAU ratio chart we just looked on the first chart above? In order for the ratio to keep falling in a near vertical manner, as it has been doing since January of this year, the PM stocks are going to have to go up faster than gold itself which they’ve been doing since January.
