What happens when the #GOLD / #SILVER ratio (GSR) hits weekly RSI overbought (happened Friday)?
Well the results may surprise you. In PM bull markets it is extremely likely that silver rises WITH gold to close the disparity.

Here is a report on what has happened since 2002 when the weekly RSI reading of the gold/silver ratio reaches overbought. The RSI merely has to touch inside overbought, above 70, at the high of the weekly candle of this ratio. It does not have to close above overbought.

I show what happens 2, 4, 8, 16, 20, 26, 52 weeks after this occurrence to both RSI and the silver price. The percent changes of silver are the values that silver has changed in percent from the date of the first RSI overbought strike listed.

In the first 5 instances I show the ultimate top, that is, the first instance where the RSI of the gold/silver ratio reached oversold after the overbought reading. This was usually a huge trigger sell point to get out of silver all together before an imminent 30-40% correction

The final picture shows the averages, and also splits them between bull and bear markets to isolate the performances.
On Friday the GSR weekly candle closed above RSI overbought at about 70.30.
In PM bull markets silver rises faster than gold from these conditions, both up.

Also to note, the gold / #oil ratio hit daily RSI overbought Friday. The results are similar for this metric in that both gold AND oil eventually rise together (and fast), but with oil outpacing gold to close the disparity.

One final thing to note here, the weekly $GDXJ / #GOLD ratio closed below RSI oversold Friday, $GDX / $GOLD is also not far away.
The huge disparity is all due to miner selling. Likely miners resolve to the upside in short order.
Odds are, most will capitulate in the next 4 weeks if $SILVER decides to do the standard final flush before the big summer rally. It's happened before, it can happen again.
I like to drink bourbon and make crazy charts. I find it interesting that the year 1996 – 2004 rounded bottom is about the same length in total days as the 2011 – 2020 rounded bottom. From that bottom in 1999 we had a 662% increase that took 6 years once the breakout started $GLD
The correction in 2004 right after the breakout dropped gold a little less than 10%. The high was retested, and then it made another low to make a 13% correction.
When gold broke the 2011 high, we had about a 10% correction again.

Gold seasonality ends on SEP 2 on avg for the last 10 years. This “little” correction we have had is actually right on schedule. It is big yes, but that is a testament to the overbought level it reached. $GLD had a daily RSI reading of 90.5, a value only surpassed in 1999 of 92.1
