Gold is preparing for a major move in the next two to three weeks.

The precious metal is in a large multi-month triangle formation. The coming move will be violent when it hits.

As I’ve noted previously, gold miners typically outperform the precious metal during inflation-driven bull markets in gold. For this reason I like to track the gold-miners-to-gold-ratio (GDX: $GOLD).

When gold miners outperform gold, this ratio rises. When gold miners underperform gold this ratio falls.

As you can see, the miners-to-gold ratio is in a clear bull flag formation. This is EXTREMELY bullish and signals that we are about to see an explosive move in which gold miners drive higher, outperforming even gold. We just need a final breakout to the upside.

Another key feature of bull markets in precious metals is that silver outperforms gold. With that in mind, I also like to track the silver-to-gold ratio ($SILVER: $GOLD).

When silver outperforms gold, this ratio rises. When silver underperforms gold this ratio falls. Right now, it’s in a large triangle formation as well. Given that it formed this triangle from below, this too suggests the move will be upwards. But again, it’s a little early here.

Keep an eye on this sector. When that move comes, it’s going to be a doozy.
