Nov 2 – Fed Wednesday Again

  There is not going to be much new to discuss here until after the Fed on Thursday. We are in the middle or late in various daily cycles, but we can review how things are playing out so far. 

.

SPX  Tuesdays report –  I was pointing out that I an expecting a drop

spx-10-31

 

SPX –  We got the market drop, but then it reversed going into the close, so we have a reversal candle. With a Fed day Wednesday I wouldn’t put my trust in it yet.  I did expect a deeper drop.

spx-11-1

.

USD – I expected a drop into a DCL here too.

usd-10-31

 

USD – We see that the drop started and I actually expect more downside.  If this is the case, then Gold would rally a bit more. The big question:  Will this happen immediately after the Fed minutes or later?  Only time will tell. I still expect the USD to drop further personally. 

 

1-usd

 

WTIC – I pointed out this trend line Tuesday and with Oil dropping rapidly, it looked like it might not hold.

wtic-10-31

 

WTIC –  It has held so far.  Oil dropped right to the trend line and formed a doji candle ( a candle of indecision really) on high volume.  We had a large volume day, yet no big price spread. Selling could be complete on day 30, but on Wednesday the Oil inventory is released. Stay tuned.

wtic-11-1

 

WTIC WKLY

.

GOLD – Lets keep this simple. This is bullish to me because Gold hit a new high on day 18. This does not look like a 3rd or 4th daily cycle with a high on day 18. That would indicate that we likely have an ICL. A move to the 50sma before the Fed would be a daily cycle high on day 19. (  EDIT: 6:30 a.m. Eastern time – We got that overnight)

1-gold

 

GOLD –  Further confirmation of an ICL would be an overhead trendline break and a swing low on a weekly.  Look at the 1 week drop of Oct 1st. Gold has to move above 1323 for that additional confirmation, but I have many other ‘signs’ that I use to find the lows.  I called a possible ICL 4 weeks ago and a stop would have protected us if we had another daily cycle.  4 weeks higher and those lows have not been violated, yet it is still oversold . 

1-gold-icl

 

GDX – GDX tagged the 50sma. I knew that this could act as resistance, but if the USD has further to drop, this can break through. We may get a break out on Wednesday over the 50sma.

I am not just relying on 1 or 2 ‘grasping at straws’ ideas to encourage my readers to be invested in Miners. Past reports have been extensive and maybe they should be read again if some are still experiencing strong doubts. I’ve compared this low to other ICL activity, pointed out various set ups, etc.  Even yesterdays report had 8 or 9 charts pointing out the bullish set ups on Miners that build confidence that we’re seeing the lows.   Yes, they can sell off after a Fed Meeting, but the lows aren’t likely to be broken.   Lets do a small review.

.

  Review: I have pointed out a good number of Miners that are well off of the lows, breaking above the downtrend and then back testing.  That takes time for all of that to happen, but people do not want to believe that this is good looking or bullish.

IAG – $3.25 to $4.25+ ( 25%) and no one really notices.

1-iag

 

Again, a month ago I pointed out what I would expect of HL if the ICL were in place, and it is playing out perfectly.  Look for a ‘break out and back test’ was the bullish idea.

hl-oct-10-icl

 

HL – This is the break out and back test. 

hl-10-31a

 

So you may want to go back to prior reports like this past weekend, last Friday, even yesterdays, and read what I said then about the many hints that the lows are in place. I still have people telling me that “this is just a trap”. Some say that “all of the E.W. experts  are calling for a final wave 5 down”. I still see a lot of negative sentiment and fear.  “Gold is really a bear flag on a wkly chart”. All of this while the lowest point was a Month ago and many Miners are set up bullishly. I think that the train is slowly leaving the station and in the past after catching the lows, my stocks have gone up 100% to 500 or 700%.  Now that the daily cycles are getting older, we will expect a daily cycle low in the not too distant future.  We’ll see how the Fed Day works out  ( A couple of ideas below) and when we drop into a daily cycle low, it should be a second strong buy. Future reports will cover that. Enjoy your Fed Wednesday of trading? 🙂

From yesterdays report.   Possibilities going into the Fed Mtg, but obviously there are a few differing possibilities.  We are in the middle or later part of our daily cycles.

 

GDX Chart 1– A break through the 50sma with the Fed Mtg, and a dcl back test maybe next week.

gdx-oct-31

 

GDX CHART 2 – Rejected at the 50sma  ( like we saw Tuesday) and a drop into a dcl. The next daily cycle would break through the 50 sma and continue higher.

    Thanks again for sharing your perspective Alex,… it has served me well.
    Thanks to you, I went to the sidelines with all my Miners in August to avoid the draw down and then I started buying back tranches in October at a lower price. I’m feeling good that I am now 50% back in at a lower cost and that everything is currently green.
    I plan to stay ‘Old Turkey’ and ride any pullbacks on this 50% position.
    How do you like my new avatar ?

      chartfreak1 says:

      Hey Moondoggie

      First thing that I noticed was that emerald green avatar, nice smooth surfing by the looks of it, just like the way you traded around this ICL, before and after.

      That was a great story, glad it worked out that you bought low, sold high , and bought lower again.

      THAT IS THE PLAN! 🙂

        Alex
        when will you give us some mining stocks to buy.
        I am only partly invested and have a ton of cash on hand.
        Wait now for the DCL for this to happen?

        • chartfreak1
          chartfreak1 says:

          Hi Walter, it’s tough at this point in the daily cycle. I can show set ups with a cautionary note, maybe I’ll do that in tomorrows report.

          There have been plenty in past reports showing bullish set ups when I thought the lows were in. HL, IAG, AG, NAK, TRX, ETC. The sideways consolidation kept many from believing it, and E.W. people everywhere calling for a 5th wave down , etc that also kept people from buying, so now we are getting late in the daily cycle and a dcl would be due anytime ( Could be this week, next week, it’s hard to know). Weeks ago I did mention in several reports that you should have some positions to catch upside , even if they are small.

          So that leaves me with a problem of ‘risk / reward’ .

          I cant post any on a Fed day, because people buy this a.m. and then might get shaken out with Fed reaction.
          After today we are on day 19 or 20 , so now it is getting late in this daily cycle, so it would have to be when they present themselves as low risk, an that is usually a pull back.

          Feel free to buy anything not extended but looking close to the lows and be ready to ride it.
          I bought TGD yesterday in the morning since it was just moving above the 50sma. It still looks good.
          AXU also broke out and back tested the way IAG did in the chart of the report.

    Johnny says:

    Thank you Alex. Great report. I just wanted to remind you of one more probable event. Friday seem to be the preferred day for election news drops. Last Friday is a good example. This last remaining Friday before the election will probably have more of the same and could effect Fridays trading. I just want to point that out as one more thing to consider.

    • chartfreak1
      chartfreak1 says:

      That could be, I wouldnt really know. Elections come every 4 yrs ago and I cant recall Fridays leading up to the last one. What I do know is that based on the timing of cycles, we could see reaction anytime ( fed reaction today, Jobs report reaction Early Friday, Election Friday as you mentioned if that is a factor , Election Tuesday).

      Whatever happens I believe will prove to be a buying opportunity for a run higher over time

  3. Cason
    Cason says:

    Gapping open his morning. A gap lower would have been an add, imo. ICL appears clear to me, personally. Real question now, when is the next entry for additional positions or to add leverage for those of us scared and shaken out last week (me!). Today and tomorrow might provide those clues!!!

      • chartfreak1
        chartfreak1 says:

        The way I would be viewing this conversation if I was thinking of adding ( I am already heavily in for a while).

        Your stops going forward would be based on your trading thoughts at the time.

        1. Is it just a quick trade to scalp and then get out and buy the next dcl? (tighter stop that might even be a trailing stop if we continue higher for a couple of days) This would be a very difficult trade at this point, that would have been best last week I.M.O.

        2. Is it a “I’m thinking the ICL is in place, I just want to own some Miners and hold for a month or two? ( That stop would be below recent Oct lows). Could experience some drawdown as it heads to a dcl, might want to keep it small and add on dips.

        3. Individual miners would have stops based on their charts in my opinion, but again, I wouldn’t expect lows to be taken out UNLESS they have bad earnings or surprise.

        • Bill
          Bill says:

          Any leveraged fund is going to carry risk/reward. I am adding at the open. IF the ICL is in (see Yesterday’s remarks) then we should have further upside. I expect the gap fill of $15.74 on JNUG at least (12% off of Yesterdays price). So, once the gap fill set you stop accordingly or sell. I am just adding to an existing position, so that makes it easier also. Enjoy

          Thx Alex for the guidance! I’m not fully invested so the key for me is not to get greedy buying as I see my acct inching up and then panic and sell as I see my acct. inching down…always a personal challenge!

          • chartfreak1
            chartfreak1 says:

            Been there, done that.

            It happened to me in the past when I waited for a move to really gain some proof of bullishness, then you feel you are missing a runaway move and buy. Suddenly, it pulls back.

            It’s a good way to learn, that is why I focused for years on how to spot the real lows better and then just trust my initial buy / start position

      ray says:

      hi
      I sold most as well like it seems most did however had a bunch left ( which actually I forgot about – they were in another account)
      kept those jnug ‘s and sold 1/3 yesterday – good chance I’m selling later today another 1/3 and might keep the rest until tomorrow or Friday and than waiting to get Alex new go ahead to jump in again for the next ride
      however will do this more often – selling in tranches – this way you click profit in and don’t have an hangovers of selling at lost

    R Byram says:

    Alex I was thinking about taking GPL off the table before it reports today. It is such a mixed story with declining production and yet it has a strong balance sheet, I don’t know how the market will perceive it. And then silver popped this morning. What are your thoughts? Hang in through earnings?

    • chartfreak1
      chartfreak1 says:

      That is not one that I have an edge on, but it is a long base now. I was looking at buying it after earnings because it could POP and run back to former highs. Earnings is always a risk / reward dilemma. Depends on position size, entry price, can I take a possible gap down? where is support? etc

      The chart is good right now.

      • R Byram
        R Byram says:

        Thanks, that is not really a fair question to ask because anything could happen. Other silver stocks are moving up nicely today – EXK +4.13%, PAAS +2.42%, so maybe the strong market will help offset any negative reaction.

  5. Siva
    Siva says:

    excellent reward for holding JNUG, AG & DRD for last couple of days. Thanks Alex for informing various possibilities and always keeps informed the positive side and show little cautious where applicable. Really big salute for Alex for keep building the momentum and confidence for holding miners & metals.

    • chartfreak1
      chartfreak1 says:

      Thanks Siva – I’m seriously glad that it helped. Buying the lows only looks easy when you look back at a chart.
      The volatility and the fear of other reports, etc can make it very difficult.

      Geurt. says:

      Thanks ALEX for your report I read and reread it, I understand it better as yesterday.
      GDX… do you expect this leg-up to the 27.50 and than a DCL to the 50 support again? I have a lot of GDX calls from DEC 16. Do you think we have enough time when there is a DCL after the elections, and than the next leg-up?
      Again… thanks a lot.

    Erik Sven says:

    Is anyone else here in TRX? It’s disappointing compared to others. I know there was some discussion on here that they were having some problems, possibly cleared up already. Just curious why it’s getting throttled everytime it tries to run. I’m thinking of selling, but it’s in the red from where I bought it, and even if I sold, we’re up two days now.

    Edit: ooooo, the beast is at work in my account. Rock on!

    • chartfreak1
      chartfreak1 says:

      Yes Ken , I do go mainly by the Metals, but that trend line is way up there.

      This is a bullish development in Miners And thats why finding IAG and others breaking out first was important – shows leadership.

      • Ken
        Ken says:

        Thought so….Thank you.
        As you stated in the above report I also could see a back test of that blue TL and/or the 50 dma as the next DC assuming Metals continue the up swing for a few more days.

    • chartfreak1
      chartfreak1 says:

      On a Fed Day, anything can happen short term, but I expect Gold to break 1300 and keep going in 2016.

      It might pull back after the Fed or it may continue to surge for a few days – that short term move on a fed day is a tough call on day 18 of a daily cycle. There is plenty of time for it to keep going, or it could do a dip to a dcl in the near term. That is difficult to know, but it should present a buy the dip opportunity.

    When I went for a bite to eat, JNUG was about 10%. Now about 4%. Was this the suck in the first hour folks or was there news?

  10. chartfreak1
    chartfreak1 says:

    Look at GDX intraday. CRAZY 14 million spike drop , we got a gap fill and now moving higher again. This dropped GDX below the 50sma by quite a bit , and now it recovered it. I THINK THIS WAS A SHAKE OUT.

    It also happened on NEM, ABX, GG – so I think it was just a shake out, pulling GDX back below the 50sma to shake out traders, now moving back higher.

    VERY cool to watch around the first hour of trading.

          so .. if i know i want to be adding “xyz” the next day- say if it should dip… i place a lowball limit offer on it that way the pending order is sitting there and all i need to do is quick quick edit the price … or even just change it to a market order 😡 depending on certain ‘perfect’ situations.

          i do this for whichever little diddy I know I want to own or add to …. makes for a quicker “toilet trade” as I’ve affectionately named the process of running in the bathroom to make a trade while at work or anywhere really where I cannot openly pull out the ole cell to make a trade ..

    Alex…a question about oil….will UWTI and UCO and stocks linked to oil (not oil companies) go down with the market…or just the oil companies go down with the market when market goes down? Is the oil price pretty independent of the stock market movement or linked to it like the companies are?

  12. Glmus
    Glmus says:

    The following is from an Investors Intelligence freebee that I get occasionally. Sorry that I could not show the charts. At least it shows they are on the same side of the metals.

    The Precious Metals Bullish % rallied 4.55% on Wednesday, reversing the P&F chart direction back to the upside
    for the first time since September. The chart has pulled out of oversold and has a new status of Bull-alert.
    P&F buy signals from the industry yesterday were Royal Gold (RGLD), Franco-Nevada
    (FNV) and Compania de Minas Buenaventura (BVN). Amongst those the more favorable is RGLD. It looks to
    have formed a small base to the side of January trendline support. The break of
    that line was a likely bear-trap. Watching for reassertions of the 2016 price
    and relative uptrends from here. Risk can be limited to the underside of the
    recent low ($64.67).

        Johnny says:

        Hi Ltl. I’ve noticed similar Fed situations in the past react differently. Occasionally a no rate increase news drop will send $Gold flying while another no rate increase will send $Gold south. I thought I must be missing something here (maybe its just a mystery of the markets). 🙂

      Low. I think we hit half-cycle low Friday. I’d like to see another shot at 26 but doubt we’ll do much more than that before double-bottom out in a DCL. Today’s candle is a bearish engulfing so that’s not much fun.
