Just how inevitable can it be, if we have been hearing about it for years now and seen none at all? What does this have to do with gold? I invite you to read today's April-Market-Overview-based essay and find out.

Why? Because of the confirmed breakouts and breakdowns. You'll find details in today's alert.
