Gold could become very bullish once it breaks through the upper horizontal 
resistance line at $1,800/ozt. Likewise for silver once it breaks through $36. Once these prices are surpassed the HUI should also take off. Check out my technical analysis below for details.
So says Dr. Nu Yu (www.marketweeklyupdate.com) in edited excerpts from his latest Weekly Market Update*.
Lorimer Wilson, editor of www.FinancialArticleSummariesToday.com (A site for sore eyes and inquisitive minds) and www.munKNEE.com (Your Key to Making Money!), has edited the article below for length and clarity – see Editor’s Note at the bottom of the page.

The gold index has been in an intermediate-term Bump-and-Run Reversal Top pattern since I identified this pattern on gold in my article “How Low Will Gold Go in This Correction?” in August, 2011. Currently the gold price is below the “Lead-in Trendline” and it is in the “Run” phase. A major resistance is expected from the lead-in trendline. If the gold price can manage to move back above the Lead-in Trendline, the Run phase would end.
The gold index is forming a 12-month Trading Range between $1,550 and $1,800. Currently prices are very near 1800 and face strong resistance from the upper horizontal line of the range. Gold could become very bullish once it breaks through the upper horizontal resistance line at $1,800.
The silver index is forming a 12-month Trading Range between $26.50 and $35.50 Currently prices are very close to $35.50 and face strong resistance from the upper horizontal line of the range. Silver could become very bullish once it breaks through the upper horizontal resistance line at $36.
After the bullish breakout from the 6-month Descending Broadening Wedge, gold/silver mining stocks had a further powerful advance. Upside price targets have been projected at the high of the Descending Broadening Wedge, i.e., 204 for XAU and 550 for HUI. Currently gold/silver mining stocks are forming a 4-month Rising Wedge pattern. Those price targets could be near the upper boundary of the wedge.

2. Will Gold Top $1,800 This Week? Here Are 4 Reasons Why It Could
Gold flirted with an 11-month high early Friday, only to retreat after a strikingly positive jobs report. With gold up over 12% over the past three months, investor focus is returning to the shiny metal. Below are four reasons gold could break through the psychological $1800/oz. barrier this week.

3. Egon von Greyerz: Gold & Silver Off to the Races – to $4,500+ & $100+ Each – Here’s Why
The closing of the gold window back in August 1971 has led governments worldwide to create endless amounts of worthless paper money and the resulting credit bubble has created a world debt exposure of over US$ 1 quadrillion (including derivatives). It has also created perceived wealth for big parts of the world’s population – a wealth which is only backed by promises to pay and by grossly inflated assets. Few people realise that this wealth is totally illusory and will implode considerably faster than the time it took to create it. [Let me explain.] Words: 890
4. Goldrunner: Gold to Rocket To Around $4,000, And Then on to $10,000-$12,000
The Fractal Gold chart work is a direct comparison of Gold, today, to the late 70’s Gold Parabola. Thus, “timing” is taken directly from the late 70’s cycle, with price targets created from a combination of the late 70’s Gold price and different technical analysis techniques. We developed a price target back in 2006/ 2007 for Gold to reach the $10,000 to $12,000 range during this Gold Bull. Anything above that range would mean that the “Stagflation” comparison to the late 70’s was exceeded and “Hyper-inflation” would become a real possibility. Let me explain where we are at this point in time.
5. Alf Field: Gold STILL Targeted to Reach $4,500 – Preceded By Violent Upside Action
We now have a really strong probability that the correction which started at $1913 on 23 August 2011 has been completed both in terms of Elliott waves and also in terms of time elapsed. If this is correct, the gold price should soon be expressing itself in violent upside action as it moves into the third of third wave which is still targeted to reach $4,500. [Let me explain in detail (with charts) how and why my most recent analyses confirm my earlier target of $4,500.] Words: 1085
6. Aden Forecast: Bubble Phase in Gold to Begin in 2013 and Possibly Reach…
Gold has been moving within a mega upchannel since 1970 and still has a ways to go before reaching the top side of this mega uptrend. How high is anyone’s guess but were gold’s price rise to match the 2300% rise realized in the 1970s (and our research suggests we could see the start of the bubble phase by next year) we’d see a $6000 gold price, which would blow the gold price well above the mega upchannel.

7. Nick Barisheff: $10,000 Gold is Coming! Here’s Why
This is not a typical bull market. Gold is not rising in value, but instead, currencies are losing purchasing power against gold and, therefore, gold can rise as high as currencies can fall. Since currencies are falling because of increasing debt, gold can rise as high as government debt can grow. Based on official estimates, America’s debt is projected to reach $23 trillion in 2015 and, if its correlation with the price of gold remains the same, the indicated gold price would be $2,600 per ounce. However, if history is any example, it’s a safe bet that government expenditure estimates will be greatly exceeded, and [this] rising debt will cause the price of gold to rise to $10,000…over the next five years.

8. von Greyerz: Gold Going to $3,500-$5,000 in 12-18 Months – and $10,000 Within 3 Years!
There will be a catalyst coming soon, probably some concerted action of money printing between the Fed, IMF and the ECB. That will happen as a result of the economies, worldwide, collapsing….The catalyst could come from anywhere but the money printing will be part of the next move in gold, that’s for certain….[and it] will lead to collapsing currencies, and investors buying gold at any price…I see gold reaching $3,500 to $5,000 in the next 12 to 18 months. Within 3 years, I see the gold price reaching at least $10,000.

11. Contracting Fibonacci Spiral Puts Gold Near $4,000 by 2013 and $7-10,000 by 2020
Gold is operating on a smaller Contracting Fibonacci Spiral Cycle that is in synch with the larger Contracting Fibonacci Spiral the markets are in. Adding together the sum of parts… the price of gold will move up in price in 2013, 2016, 2018, 2019 and 2020, with each subsequent leg moving less in percentage terms than the prior move. Gold advanced 4 foldish from 1999 until 2008 ($252/ounce to $1046/ounce) suggesting that gold should top out below $4000/troy ounce by the end of January, 2013…[on its way] to $7,000 and $10,000 per troy ounce by 2020.
