Thursday February 27

 

GRAVESTONE DOJI CANDLE – I have pointed these out in the past because they  often look bearish by closing  down at the days lows, but after a sell off, they often become reversal candles.   This is what the candle looks like…

 

 This is the reversal.

SPX – I see a gravestone doji here, so we could bounce higher, but I would only expect a bounce.  Why?  This is day 17 of possible 30-40 in a daily cycle, and it is a failed daily cycle.  Look at AUGUST – I have said that we may see that drop & bounce to the 50 sma.  It will draw in the Bulls, ‘buy the dip crowd’, they will get bullish again, and then the markets should drop again.  How far?…

I POSTED THESE 2 POSSIBLE SCENARIOS YESTERDAY FOR WHEN A BOUNCE COMES – In OCT 2018 at the first red box, a similar drop crashed to the 200sma, bounced & dropped again.

BIG NEWS IN  OIL

,

YESTERDAY I SAID:  The Oil inventory report comes out Wednesday.  This may break those lows, and that would be a failure. That would signal a deeper drop in a left translated daily cycle

.

WTIC – Oil broke the lows on day 17!  THAT is a failed daily cycle…

k

WTIC WEEKLY – Even with our 2 week bounce,  that MACD is wide mouthed open down.  Notice how the past bounces corrected it.  What is a possible downside target?…

,

WTIC  WEEKLY –  $42?  Hard to believe?  Maybe, but with a failed daily cycle on day 17, it really does give us a sign that weeks of downside is the likely path.  Along with $42, I am now also looking at …

l

g

WTIC  WEEKLY – A much larger drop equal to the 2019 drop.  THIS could bring us back to those 2016 lows if $42 breaks with conviction.  Wow.  I usually save this big picture view for weekend reports,  but I thought I would just show you the implications of a break down longer term.   WE HAVE SEEN IT HAPPEN BEFORE, so this is a valid possibility.

GOLD formed a DOJI.  A candle of indecision. A battle of bulls & Bears that resolved equally.  I am expecting a drop into a dcl, so lets discuss this…

 

,

GOLD #2  – I feel that we peaked on day 27, this was day 29.   The last drop was a Gradual drop below the 10sma ( see the blue writing).   DCL’s often form around day 33 or so lately, but we all know that they CAN come at any time in this area…

k

GOLD #3 –  We look for a break of the 10 sma and it only lasted for one day here in January  ( you will see soon that for Miners it was deeper).  So we could slide down a bit more like January, or…

l

GOLD #4The doji can cause a bounce and an a-b-c down. I have pretty much been saying this from the start I am just repeating myself as it plays out  🙂

k

GOLD –  We had a discussion in the live area about various possibilities, and I had drawn this, so I may as well post it here too. I am showing that triangle that started with a peak & drop on the first daily cycle to a quick dcl formation. This could mimic that.

 

k

SILVER– Silver has held the 50 sma so far.  I have pointed out an inverse H&S, but what if we get a shake out?…

k

SILVER – It would still be an inverse H&S, but I find this LESS LIKELY.  THIS would cause a failed daily cycle below that Jan low, and it wouldn’t make sense to the bullish side.

k

GDX – Day 29 closed with a doji too.  That is Indecision, and I watched it go from Red to Green to Red to Green to Red as the day went on.

k

GDX – A dcl can form at anytime, yet we may even see a bounce first to draw in some Bulls and then shake them out. We should see a break of the 10sma ( a close under it is what we really should see) to indicate that a dcl is coming in. We don’t have that deep of a dip yet…

The good thing is that this is an extremely right translated daily cycle ( peak day 27), so this should rally to new highs easily after we get our low.  A day 30 or 31 dcl  would come in this week, but anything later would be next week, like this example of a day 33.

.

The idea of a possible bounce is nothing new. I pointed out an a-b-c type of drop yesterday too.

A note for those that reside in or read along with the live area below each report: I have to fast for 12 hrs tonight and then go and get some blood work done as part of a normal physical Thursday morning.  A big part of my human weakness takes over whenever I go through this process of fasting, no coffee, etc  for 12 hrs.   I inevitably find myself inside of a quaint old greasy diner that I love, as I travel on my way back home. 🙂    I know I will be there tomorrow morning, so I will be late to the trading area, but I look forward to catching up on the comments when I get back.  I am not really trading in this chop anyway, but if you are scalping day trades or checking out your charts –  Enjoy your Thursday trading!

AKG – I am just posting this because I said I own it, and it is the Big Picture of AKG. It has basically been trading sideways but it looks ready to break higher soon.  I do still own it because I feel that once the next DCL is in place, this may break out.

.

AUY – We have seen some Miners Lead The Way. AUY has really just been a series of higher lows and I pointed that out here over a week ago. These ones may not pull back as sharply as others, so how are AUY, BTG, NEM and the likes doing??

.

AUY – A mild pull back so far, and it  may not pull back a whole lot deeper.

 

.

BTG -A mild pull back so far, and these MAY NOT pull back much more.

 

.

NEM – A mild pull back so far

.

ISVLF – Others that got very extended may pull back deeper, and we see that in ISVLF for example.

 

.

PLG – I have been discussing PLG as a Platinum miner  trading between almost as high as $3, and currently the $2.30 area.  It CAN drop to $2 on this chart,  but so far…

.

PLG – There is the hope that Possibly / Maybe a triangle with higher lows will form?  I do own it from $2 and added higher up than that too.
