Consider this: In 2008 GOLD (XAU) had dropped to around $730 and never before traded above $1000. During late 2008 we occurred the "great financial crisis", the one where everyone thought the world was going to end, where we saw the market deflate and induced us into a systemic crisis. All markets seized up, including GOLD, as the credit markets seized up, and sent us to new lows. However shortly after this GOLD quickly shot up and took off. It hit $1000 and never looked back. This makes sense when you think about it: stocks benefit from economic growth and stability; gold benefits from economic distress and crisis.
Looking at the chart above we can see that we are currently in an uptrend and have been since the start of 2017, producing higher lows and higher highs. However since 1/24/18 we have started a small downtrend seeing lower lows and lower highs. I have set our current resistance line and indicated 2 support zones. The DMI has crossed and is verifying we are in a downward trend with the ADX just beginning to peak above our signal line and the +/- crossing. We can also see on the RSI that we are creating lower highs. I have drawn a channel to indicate where we could go if we pass the first support zone. This would could take us out of the upward channel and could show we are going to drop further.
If the stock market falls, fear is usually high, and investors typically seek out the safe haven of gold. If stocks are rocking and rolling, the perceived need for gold from mainstream investors is low.
So, perhaps the ideal solution for now would be to have a stash of cash ready to deploy if we get another big decline in precious metals—but also have a stash of bullion already set aside in case the next crisis sends gold off to the races.

Off to the races! Will we soar past the resistance with fear in the stock market and a possible trade war... Just like I mentioned before, may always want to to keep some of the gold around, could be a good time to have it!
With the news and fear of a trade war... Gold is a good place to be!
