Gold and silver price alerts

Tickerbot tracks gold and silver spot prices updated every 5 minutes. Get alerts when precious metals cross key levels — and combine gold with equity filters for cross-asset trades.

Why gold alerts matter

Gold is the ultimate safe haven asset. When gold rallies through $2,000 or $2,100, it signals investor fear, inflation expectations, or dollar weakness. Gold breaking down below $1,900 signals risk-on and dollar strength.

Tickerbot updates gold prices every 5 minutes and tracks historical bars for technical analysis. Set alerts on price levels, moving averages, or percentage moves.

Example
Gold crosses above $2,100 per ounce
GOLD $2,108/oz, breaking above the 2023 high. Safe haven bid.

Cross-asset divergence: gold vs. miners

One of the classic cross-asset setups: gold rallies but gold miners (GDX) don't follow. It usually means the market doesn't believe the gold rally will last. When both gold and miners rally together, it's a stronger signal with broader conviction.

Divergence signal example

Combine gold price moves with gold miner ETF performance to catch divergences. When gold rallies but GDX lags, it suggests the move may be driven by temporary factors rather than sustained demand for precious metals exposure.

Example
Gold up more than 3% but GDX (gold miners ETF) up less than 1%
GOLD +3.8%, GDX +0.4%. Miners not confirming.

Common variations you can build

  • Gold above $2,200 and silver above $28 (precious metals rally)
  • Gold/silver ratio above 90 (silver undervalued relative to gold)
  • Gold + dollar: gold up 2%+ while DXY down 1%+ (classic inverse)
  • Gold breaking 200-day MA on volume (trend change)
