Does Yen Weakness Auger Poorly for Gold?

If you've been reading this blog or my premium service issues, you know I’ve turned short-term bearish on gold. I’m keeping an eye on oil, because one thing that would change my mind is if oil rallies hard again.

This is only a daily chart, not a weekly chart. So how does this relate to gold? Look at this next chart …
In the past year, gold has moved closely aligned with the yen. If that trend continues, then a pullback in the yen could signal further price weakness for gold.

Mind you, I believe this is only short-term weakness, and potentially a great buying opportunity.
