ROSE COLORED GLASSES

If you've been reading here at Chartfreak for any period of time, you know that I really do try to listen to what the charts are telling me and leave any 'bias' out of the equation. We dont fall in love with certain ideas or stocks, we dont look at all things through rose colored glasses,  and this helps us to  remain flexible.  With that in mind, I wrote a mid-day  update yesterday alerting my readers to some changes I was seeing. Lets examine what changed and what else we may see changing soon.  I posted this chart of GOLD -

Looking For SIGNS

Janet Yellen will be speaking over the next 2 days and everyone is looking for signs.  Signs that an interest rate hike may be coming and what that may mean for the markets.  So far most things seem to be business as usual.  On FEB 12, with the recent break to new highs in the Nadsdaq (and then the DJIA and SPX) after such a long consolidation, I thought that we could get a melt up higher. A normal  test of the break out also cannot be ruled out. I also called out a target of 5241 over time.

WHY ENERGY?

After any extreme sell off takes place and people finish  discussing all the reasons why there can be no recovery, it's often a good time to go shopping.  Why?  When it gets overdone, the bargains can be great %-Wise.  Recently while OIL  & NATGAS   sold off beyond expectations , I noticed that the equities stopped selling off and began building constructive bases. Temporary bottoms or permanent? Its too early to say for sure , but trade-able?  Most certainly.

 Here at Chartfreak, we have been buying & trading  them for weeks now.  I want to share some of the charts and ideas that we are again looking at , since I am expecting another leg higher.

OIL Feb 10- Some said "Bear flag"  We had been trading energy stocks , and I  saw signs that OIL wanted to go higher.

We Love Swings!

When most traders were  kids, it's probably safe to say that if they had one available, they loved playing on the swings. Today I think that it's safe to say that most traders still love to play on the swings. We'll discuss one such swing in a minute, but first I just want to show the chart of OIL as of yesterday. ( Excuse the typo)  : )
