Gold and silver .....Both metals were doing ok earlier in the trading session. Now I believe we will see how resolute the longs are and see if both metals shake off the sell offs and ultimately make their way higher. There are some technical numbers that are acting as support and resistance numbers as well that would need to be cleared. If the support holds and resistance is broken there are indications that gold could make its way through $ 1700 US and higher in the not too distant future.
