I Think Its Time

After looking at a few thousand charts yesterday , I am thinking that it might just be time to take some positions if you dont have one.  Though we “COULD” dip down into a daily cycle low, I again have to wonder if that SMACK DOWN last Friday-Monday was the end of a short daily cycle.  THAT would mean we are in the 2nd DCYcle.   Also looking at charts of many Miners yesterday, they look like good set ups , some have very little downside risk vs what could be a nice %-Gain to the upside.  Take a look with me and see what you think. 

 

GOLD 4 hr chart this morning.  Looks pretty bullish as I write  (7:00 A.M.)

4 HR GOLD

 

SO I mention above a possible future DCL with the Jobs report Friday, but this cup & Handle also looks like it could POP higher for a couple of days.  IF a DCL is still ahead, it THEN may only drop to a DCL that isnt  much lower than right here if break out of this cup/handle soon.   LOOK AGAIN at GOLD WKLY as of yesterday…

 

 

GOLD WKLY as of DEC 3  (Classic shake out if you ask me)

GOLD WKLY DEC 3

 

 

MINERS are very close to a shake out / recovery (Watch 20.18)

 

GDX NOW

 

SO this is all lining up as BULLISH behavior, and now I have been saying that for 4 weeks!   I went through charts yesterday and captured quite a few Miners  that you should have a look at too. I am saying that at this point, (And I said it yesterday too) I would take a position if I didnt have one already. UPSIDE surprises can be pretty nice when GOLD/SILVER & MINERS set up like this.   We seem to be at that point where  ALL MINERS will rise together…thus the dartboard picture for the theme pic.  It looks like it might be a “Throw a dart and Buy at least a couple of these set ups”   lets see some charts and remember ,  “WHAT IF THE RECENT SLAM WAS A DCL?” this would be the start of the 2nd leg up …

 

SLW  is STRONG  (A buy when it reversed at the  50sma, or buy now in case of an upside pop and place a stop below the 50sma)

SLW

 

SSRI looks good RIGHT HERE above the 50sma (MANY SILVER STOCKS DO)  BUY

SSRI

 

SSRI  another BULLISH  view

SSRI 2

 

 

HMY  hasnt moved much, but LOTS of volume. It may be getting ready to POP. Low risk right  here,  or Buy above the 50sma for more confidence.

HMY

 

 

NG – Buy now

NG

 

EGO has shown strength , and may break out  (and so has RIC as I always show here). They may be leading the way.  EGO doesnt really show the crash last Fri-Mon, does it?

Its a bit extended to enter here, but I wanted you to see the strength

EGO

 

EXK – Here is one that hasnt moved much, but a sweet double bottom low risk entry.  You can BUY NOW with a stop below Nov lows…or buy a break out above its 50sma,  or buy after it breaks above this trendline.  EXK is a good silver stock if you ask me.

EXK

 

Lastly  RIOM.  This has held up VERY NICELY….like RGLD and RIC  since its Deeper ICL lows.

When you find these, buy the dips and they can be core positions for the BUY & HOLD type, because they hold up well above their lows.

RIOM

 

So the recent NOV ICL DIP in RIOM  was a buy, The FRIDAY dip was too.  HOWEVER, seeing how strong this has been in that above weekly chart,  I’d also take a partial position here and IF we get a dip into a future DCL , I’d just add. We may just break out here above the recent high near $2.70 and make a run for highs near $3.10ish.   Then a sideways move could form a cup & handle?  I drew the magenta line in case we drop to a DCL this week. THAT would be a great buy.  Tagging the trend line, inverse H&S , etc

RIOM Daily

 

SO you can see that your confidence MUST be getting stronger that we are at a Bullish point in Metals, right?  I know it can be scary, especially after last Friday & Monday , but honestly-  In my experience, THAT WAS EXTREMELY BULLISH shake out type action.  

Lets review for confidence :     IF out of the blue I just yelled…  “BUY MINERS!”  You’d think it was a shaky chance at best.  BUT remember – 

1. I had been looking for ICL lows since the end of OCTOBER. 

2. Miners bottomed on Wed & then I said here that  I saw a shake out FRIDAY NOV 7th & BOUGHT THEN.

3.   EACH FRIDAY after we had mini shake outs , and Smart Money looked to BUY BACK each drop.  THATS HOW BOTTOMS FORM, they shake out weak hands, strong hands enter and support price.

4. LAST FRIDAY was the Mother Of All Shake outs with the SWISS VOTE disguise , because the NO VOTE slammed it down Sunday & we saw “Someone”  started the rally Monday.

 

I reminded everyone here with these  GOLD DEC 1 chart s

GOLD DEC 1

 

THIS is the time to be brave and I hope by now you have a position (At least a small one) in case we get some more UPSIDE SURPRISES. I KNOW the downside risks cause a lot of fear, but you dont want to be chasing later either.  There are a few scenarios as to how this could play out, and yes, there could be a dip to a DCL soon, but also we could POP & RUN higher, break over the 50sma in Miners and a DCL might just drop and test that 50sma  (BUY!  Add to positions if you see that, I will report it here).  We also MAY have had a freak DCL slam down on Monday.  THEN we’d be in the 2nd DCycle, and the next pop could just run away upside, with short covering.  SO I AM SAYING…

With all the BULLISH shake out, buy back, bottoming going on…why not at least get SOME exposure at the lows, with lower risk since you set your stops below Nov lows, or below the 50sma if you own something above the 50sma  (SSRI for ex) etc.  I hope this has helped you to see some opportunities that look bullsih .  If I didnt know cycles at all, these chart set ups using strictly Technical Analysis are BULLISH and I would be recommending that you BUY at least a small position. Actually, that IS what I am doing now  : )

 

Thanks for being here And as always,   STAY FROSTY  -But I think the ICL (lows)  are behind us in NOV

      OK, I will in tomorrows report. The reason I didnt today is that not much has changed. they are hovering around their 50sma and if a dcl is coming, they will dip down to a higher low like I put in my other GDX chart shown here . If we surge higher, they can break out above the 50sma and be free . Not much changed since NOV 26 on this chart…we are a bit lower as expected.

      I’ll put them in there tomorrow Beek, thanks

        gdxj near its lows when gold 50 bucks higher. Looking really weak not good. Shouldnt be surprised it is what I am holding..

          chartfreak1 says:

          or…

          $Gold is up 7% off its lows, GDXJ is up 15% off its lows. : ) pPerspective is often affected by “Where we bought in” Also We may dip into a DCL here and JOBS is Friday . More downside possible as seen on the chart above.

          Exactly – miners presently priced for $1179 POG (or lower?)
          The final indicator, presently, to drop POG is a jobs “report”
          POO, S&P , $USD, Swiss voters, ‘sterling US gdp. etc. have not busted POG, so there’s a ton weighing on jobs/no jobs, jobs/nojobs… to effect POG

    is this not concerning that usd getting drilled and miners like abx look putrid? I always get nervous in these situations. thoughts alex?

    • chartfreak1
      chartfreak1 says:

      Because of where we are in cycle timing (Possible DCL still a few days ahead of us) I think the miners and Metals are just holding up here. I agree…when the dollar drops fast, you really want to see Metals react higher and strongly – but it may just be cycle timing or JOBS report FRIDAY ahead of us. EACH & EVERY FRIDAY has been a shake out.

    i like the way u r thinking Alex, that is why i signed up for your service. Small positions for me on KGC, EGO, RIC. they seem the stronger on the gold side. I took a small position on SSRI based on your chart for silvers. I prefer individual companies even though more risky. It seems to me at this stage there is a chance of a good rally after the DCL (tomorrow or next week?)

    • chartfreak1
      chartfreak1 says:

      Yes, I expect a rally in the 2nd dcycle . And Even though you like individual companies & it can be more of a risk, you are forming your own basket ..so its less risky that way. If one drops away, maybe the other 3 go higher. Smart : )

        ALEX….. can you show me a chart what rally in the 2nd dcycle?
        I don’t understand what you say: “I expect a rally in the 2nd dcycle”.
        Sorry for this dumb question. Thanks.

        • chartfreak1
          chartfreak1 says:

          It hasnt happened yet, “I expect a rally…” means its coming.

          I could show a chart of one that happened at other ICL’s but I’m not with my laptop right now.
          I think I’ve posted them before in other posts, but I’ll have to post it later, sorry.

    Alex, pretty much same comments as everyone else. Concerned with the timing of DCL and next move up as GDX/GDXJ seem to be underperforming GLD recently (GLD:HUI ratio continues to extend to the downside). I have some pretty good entries into GDXJ – last Fri, late on Tuesday when it was at the cheapest. But I have Dec monthly options so premium is starting to melt off pretty good this week. Any additional insight on ETFs after jobs report and timing of DCL would be helpful tomorrow. Also, if you see new entry point, let us all know. Until I see some strength, don’t want to add anymore – too much risk if it ends up moving down. Really excited about the membership! Thanks for the update!

      Thx Cason,
      The problem is that a Daily Cycle low could come on day 20, day 25 , day 28 or tomorrow after jobs report.
      The good news is that when it arrives it usually wipes out loses quickly.

      In my reports I showed this chart of 2008 gdx lows…see the long slow dip down after the strong reversal? It was 5 straight days down, then in 3 days all losses gone.

      I know everyone gets nervous with each day down, but it usually does this into a dcl.
