April gold futures closed down $7.60 at $1,095.60 today. Prices closed nearer the session low today on more profit taking. Gold sold off today despite a weaker U.S. dollar index, which is another bearish clue for gold. Bulls have faded this week and are back on a level near-term technical playing field with the bears.

Bears' next downside price objective is closing prices below solid technical support at $1,075.00. First resistance is seen at $1,100.00 and then at today's high of $1,108.80.

March silver futures closed down 8.0 cents at $15.88 an ounce today. Prices closed nearer the session high today. The key "outside markets" were in a bullish posture for silver today, as the U.S. dollar index was weaker, while crude oil and stock index futures prices were firmer. Yet, silver could not make gains today, which is another bearish clue. A 2.5-month-old downtrend is still in place on the daily bar chart. Bears have the near-term technical advantage in silver. The next downside price objective for the bears is closing prices below solid technical support at the February low of $14.65. Bulls' next upside price objective is closing prices above solid technical resistance at $17.00 an ounce. First resistance is seen at today's high of $16.00 and then at $16.25. Next support is seen at today's low of $15.62 and then at $15.50. Wyckoff's Market Rating: 4.0.

Bulls still have the near-term technical advantage in copper. The next downside price objective for the bears is closing prices below psychological support at 300.00 cents.
