We've analyzed gold, silver and precious metals mining stocks and commented on recent upswings backed up by high volume, breaking meaningful tendencies and approaching key levels on most of our 19 charts prepared for today. In fact, one of these charts is just a sneak preview of one of newest tools which let us analyze what influence stock options expiration could have on gold prices.

The above - by no means - should be interpreted as a suggestion to sell one's long-term holdings in the precious metals sector as we are in bull market.
