Fiat Flameout: Hi Ho Silver!

While many gold market technicians have been neutral to slightly negative about gold in the short term, I've been extremely positive.

As of today, I've become outrageously more positive. To understand why that is…

I'll dare to suggest that gold investors have behaved very well this year.

As a result of that behavior, Santa has put a beautiful bull wedge breakout into everybody's Christmas stocking!

The near-immediate price target is $1310, but $1360 should also be hit during what looks to be a very positive Chinese New Year season.

Do the festivities extend to gold stocks as well?

Absolutely!

GDX is sporting a great looking inverse head and shoulders bottom, and the rally from the head of the pattern has a bull pennant formation breakout in it.

This is quite exciting. For gold stock investors around the world, it is really ushering in the new year in a great way.

I've suggested that the $25 – $26 target zone is likely to turn out to be little more than a pitstop on the road to the $35 area.

I've argued that the biggest bubble of all time is the bubble of government fiat money, and that bubble has started to burst. The initial bursting of the bubble has seen all global fiat collapse against blockchain currencies like bitcoin.

That's a lot like how the stock market crashes when it becomes a bubble. The initial collapse happens in the most speculative stocks. From there, the collapse spreads to the big Dow Jones Industrial Average component stocks.

In the case of the fiat bubble, I've predicted that the collapse of fiat against bitcoin is only the very beginning of a horrific collapse that will ultimately see fiat fall hard against gold, silver, and mining stocks.
