Gold And US Treasury Bonds Are At Price Extremes

A combination of recent central bank action and current talk of negative interest rates has brought out a thick wave of investor uncertainty in the financial markets.

And that has brought about a huge “flight to safety” transition of capital for investors. Basically, the “flight” to safety has lead to lower prices for stocks, and higher prices for Gold and US Treasury Bonds.

But it appears to be a case of too far, too fast.

Given the signals that I am seeing, we are likely due for at least a pause here in both Gold and US treasuries.  In the charts below, I highlight Extremehurst(TM) signals that are showing overextended price action. Remember Extremehurst signals indicate END of TRENDS (within a designated time frame) not necessarily reversals.
