When investing in any market, a good way to judge price movement in the future is to learn from the past.
The charts and bullion news links on this page are largely devoted to the precious metals market during the 2nd quarter of 2015. All of the news links posted below were originally posted on the homepage.

US Dollar Quarterly - Price Chart (April 1st, 2015 - June 30th, 2015)
Early in the 2nd Quarter of 2015, the US Dollar moved down from its peak of 100.71.
Wall Street anticipated an interest rate hike by the Federal Reserve, but when that rate hike didn't happen, the U.S. dollar fell because the possibility of a future rate hike was the only reason the U.S. Dollar was rising.

In the future, the dollar will have to break two resistance levels to continue its bull market.
In addition, if the Federal Reserve continues to balk at raising rates and if the U.S. Dollar falls below the $93.00 support level, it will be the first sign of a possible new bear market for the U.S. Dollar.
The 10-year chart below indicates the $93.00 support level, which was a resistance level for the US Dollar in 2005.

Gold Quarterly - Price Chart (April 1st, 2015 - June 30th, 2015)
Bullion News

The price of Gold during the 2nd Quarter of 2015 was very choppy. However, what's happening in the chart is a battle, a battle between Gold's Bulls and Bears.
The bears repeatedly battled the bulls during the quarter, testing their ability to keep the price of gold above $1180.

Since the summer of 2013, the bears have been continuously testing the bulls at the $1180 level, but they have lost every battle.
However, in November of 2014, during the 4th quarter of 2014, Gold's Bears were able to break through the bull's price support level of $1180, briefly touching $1130. (see below)

Late in this quarter, the price of gold broke below the $1180 support level, turning it into a powerful new resistance level.
The $1180 price level was an important support level for the price of gold, and now that this two-year level has broken, expect to see gold continue to fall in price. This is the same thing that happened to gold's price when it broke the long-standing $1550 support level in early 2013.

Silver's price during the 2nd quarter of 2015 was choppy; it fell for most of the first month of the quarter, then popped up in price, but ultimately, silver gave up all its gains and ended the quarter at a lower price than it started the quarter.

Now that the $1085 price level for Platinum has been broken, it is a Resistance Level that the price will likely overcome sometime in the future.
To find Platinum's new support level, we have to go back to 2008, during the height of the financial crisis, when platinum sat at $800.00 per troy ounce.
