Gold & Silver Break Above Cartel Cap

Live 24 hours silver chart [ Kitco Inc. ]Gold and silver have just burst through the firm cartel cap that have held the metals in check under $1750 and $34 for the past 2+ weeks. 
After vaulting higher on the COMEX open, then tapping the ceiling at $34 for several hours, silver has finally cleared the cartel's cap at $34, running to $34.28.  Don't be surprised if the cartel attempts to hammer the metal back below $34 after today's fix and the end of reporting for this week's COT.  Silver MUST be kept from breaking out and clearing $35 in order to prevent a clear breakout from the 9 month down-trend openly visible to all.  Such a break-out, coupled with further can kicking and printing in Greece, would be massively bullish for silver.

Gold's price chart looks almost identical to silver's this morning, also going vertical on the COMEX open (that sure feels weird to type!), visibly capped for several hours at $1750, then resuming it's vertical ascent once $1750 was taken out.  If gold can hold $1750 for two consecutive closes, it will set up its next advance targeting $1850, and from there, the all-time nominal high near $1915.
