Gold and silver trends are like trends in any other commodity or "thing" that is traded. Let's dig in just a bit and see what's up.

A trend is an inclination or tendency, and when we talk about a gold or silver (or wheat or pork bellies or stock market) trend, we're just talking about what direction it seems to be moving. It could be over the last hour, over the last week, or over the last month. Though it is not necessarily the case, a trend is often associated with a time marker or a time frame. Here are some examples:

"Gold has been skidding in the last week," the metals broker frowned. This indicates that there is a trend over the last week for gold prices to decrease, just as you probably guessed.

"Silver prices had been creeping up and up until Silver Thursday," the economics professor told her students. The statement tells us that there was an upward trend regarding silver prices until the indicated Thursday. (Read a bit about the Hunt brothers' attempt to corner (control) the silver market and what happened! A link can be found below.)

"The Stock Market has been all over the place this month," moaned the investment advisor as he shook his head. This is a trend or tendency of the stock market to remain unsettled and prone to a lot of ups and downs over the indicated period. Obviously it is difficult for investors to decide whether to buy, or sell, or just hold stocks they are considering/watching.

"We've had a steady stream of customers purchasing the new iPhone all morning," beamed the store manager. Clearly, this is a trend suggesting a constant demand for a freshly introduced product. It's not up, it's not down, but the trend is for steady sales, at least in the short term.

Trends come in many "flavors" and types. As regards gold and silver trends, those who put their money where the trend appears (whether buying or selling) are sometimes rewarded, and are sometimes penalized.
