June 20 Trade Ideas
Please read the weekend report, this is part 2. I wanted to post a few trade ideas…
.
I’ll start with the sell off this morning in Gold. As mentioned in the weekend report, I am bullish Energy and Precious metals. Gold is down to $1283 as I write and it looks like a huge smack down, so I wanted to put in into perspective. I am still Bullish on Gold & Miners too.
.
GOLD WEEKLY – I would like to see $1275.20 hold, simply because it would put a weekly swing in place, but that doesn’t mean anything really. Gold could drop 50% and then turn higher again without any real damage. Currently the pull back is not quite 38.2% . So if Gold continues to sell off, use this chart to see where it is in this first leg higher.
THAT SAID, I have said that I like BTG and SAND among other Miners, so IF things look reasonable in this selling, I may add to my position. So as a review, I’ll attach those charts from June 15 or you can re-read the weekend report.
LET ME SAY THIS PLEASE, I have done well as a stock picker , but it is not fool proof. When I said that I was buying 3 weeks ago, I chose Miners that had solid bases and good set ups, so yes, I got VGZ and MUX, and kept adding as they had follow through. That was great, but I also bought GSS, TGD, GPL, EXK, and EGO. They didn’t all explode, but because we had just entered an ICL, they started moving higher. The point is that I like the set ups on SAND and BTG a lot, and I’ve mentioned that they look very much like MUX and VGZ in certain ways, but there are no guarantees. I also liked EXK, EGO, and GSS, but they were less explosive. My GSS position went from 55 cents to 65 cents , so it wasnt the explosive burst that I expected. I just wanted to mention that, because some thought that I only bought VGZ and MUX and nailed it perfectly.
Lets look at ENERGY. You read the reports last week and know what I have been expecting, and you read the weekend report. This is what we see this morning so far. The general markets look pretty good here and Oil is moving higher.
I have a few Energy stocks that look set up to move higher. With OIL likely putting in a daily cycle low here, these should be fairly safe, outside of any company specific surprises. I am only showing ones that have held up rather well through all of Oils sell offs. If they didn’t really sell off with Oil selling off, why would they sell off with Oil putting in a low?
.
CWEI – I love this set up. I’m sure you remember this one. Roughly $5 to $21. Then $15to $28, this is a favorite of mine. It will likely go back to $70 in the future ( no guarantees, but this moves rather well). It did a back test of the recent break out. I like the set up, but this is not for those that cannot take movement. Look at the last 5 days. $23 to $25 intra day.
OAS – Another favorite, because it doesn’t sell off a lot. OAS has a long consolidation along the 200sma here. If OIL runs, I would expect it to break out.
DNR – On support
NOG – Moving along the support of the 200sma. This is a good low risk set up in my opinion.
WLL – It’s hard to see, but this broke from a triangle, and back tested it . It has NOT regained the 200sma, but could be bought here or after it breaks above the 200sma, with a stop below recent lows.
ERF – This is another energy stock that we have traded. Now that you can look back over the past few months you see a great run. $1.80 to $6.75. This could double in time, $12 is the 2015 highs. Notice that when it drops , it does NOT tag the 50sma. I would consider that a sign of strength. It gets bought before it completes a normal drop.
Amazingly, some of the Energy stocks that we were buying down at the February lows have doubled and tripled easily. You can see that buying those lows in a buy & hold situation would have paid off well in the ones listed. As time goes on, the strong will survive and the debt burdened juniors will either die off or play catch up later after they fix their problems. Higher oil prices will help.
,
So these are just some trade ideas to go along with your weekend report. I will find more as time goes on. I only wanted to share a few, to show what I am looking at. Support at the 50 or 200sma. Did they pull back in a crash like manner, or slow and steady? That way you can look at your own list and decide if they look healthy or not.
.
You could also look at charts of AREX, PBR, HAL, MRO, CHK, WPX, BTE, BCEI, ORIG, SM, SN, and so on from past report.

Or look here for a small list- click here >>> ENERGY STOCKS
.
TO AVOID VOLATILITY- SOME MAY WANT TO WAIT FOR THE BREXIT VOTE TO SEE HOW THINGS PLAY OUT. THAT IS A PERSONAL CHOICE.
Have a great Monday , thanks for being here at Chartfreak

Good morning, Alex –
Thanks for the early weekend report #1 AND for this supplement! I bought SAND (based on fundamentals) last month for a long-term holding and would like to add to it. Do you mind giving a heads up when you decide to add to your position?
Should be an interesting week!
Sure– if you follow in the comments section, I’ll post it here, but I honestly doubt that SAND will give much of a buy chance a lot lower. I am watching the 10sma/ maybe 13 sma, which is near $4.25. If it is as strong as I think it is, even with gold selling off, I dont think it will break below the 10sma.
Refresh for a chart idea, but I dont think they’ll sell off SAND if it is as strong as it appears
Thanks, Alex – I’ll keep an eye out for your post!
It may not pull back. I’m buying 1/2 of what I would have.
BTG is not pulling back either, they are bullish set ups at this point.
Thanks, Alex, for the heads up
Your reply to this message sent me an email – good notification
Thats right, a disqus reply alert would do that.
So, I’m looking at SAND and BTG and with Gold down near $20, they dipped 10 cents and recovered. They could continue down later in the day or week, but it seems like they are being accumulated, so I took 1/2 of the position that I wanted, I’ll use a mental stop based on the chart that I posted for you here in the comments, and I’ll add a bit more if it dips later this week on light volume and holds that 10sma.
Then we have Yellen and BREXIT. It’s never easy 🙂
Refresh – I posted this chart on June 14. I added to my current position this morning. I consider this a high risk stock geopolitically, but I love this set up
.
GPL dropped down and filled that lower gap today and (so far) is trying to recover. It now looks like an inverse H&S could be forming.
HBM – Cup & Handle
FCX – breaking up from a small consolidation/ base good volume
VALE, SID, etc – all looking pretty good with nice volume for the first 1/2 hr.
BTG down a penny, SAND holding up rather well, TRX, TRQ, HL, GPL, etc Green with Golds sell off.
I like the way things look, but Yellen has 2 day testimony in front of congress and Brexit vote this week. They just dont make trading decisions easy, huh? 🙂
Man, I need to just hold my news and buy the miners dip this morning. B/c we never pulled back much and each week brings large risk-laden news – Fed, Brexit, etc. it’s just too hard to buy when I see it sell off some – keep thinking it might be 2-3 days and then even lower but turns around before I get in. I have a few shares but definitely hunting for more!
My JAVA is kicking in this morning :)☕️☕️
JVA, HBM, TRQ all look like forms of cups with handles and moving higher out of the handle.
ANYONE that threw out some crazy ‘stink bids’ in VGZ got must be happy. I checked 3 charting services and it really seems to have dropped to 83 cents, recovered and then dropped to $1.00 and recovered. That is crazy stuff
saw that… smart
Unless someone owned it and wanted to put in a Bid to buy more around $0.83 in case it ever gets down to the 50sma, around $0.80, then they accidentally hit ”sell” at $0.83 instead of ”buy” and drove it down there. Ouch. 🙂
teehee…
in other news… ive been trading that cwei – woosh… i was looking at the pattern.. this is really crazy .. right??? it is literally a ‘mirrored’ copy of price action ….down->up

I added on that GAP FILL reversal in GPL today. Seems like an inverse H&S
Alex, I haven’t been paying a lot of attention to silver since about…….2011. LOL. It did lag behind gold since Jan. I was pleasantly surprised to see its chart in the weekend report. You expect a very big burst higher in silver price from now until the intermediate cycle top. Even today it is showing a lot of strength compared to gold. I hope you are correct and it takes off. I bought a bit of a 2x silver ETF.
I think that the Silver Stocks gave us a pretty big clue that Silver would eventually play catch up. When I look at AG, CDE,PAAS, etc – They didn’t care at all that silver wasn’t following Gold. That is a nice base building in Silver. I do think it may run better this time.
I took a small position in UGAZ on Friday (broke a rule) but really think this might be a buy on dip from here on out this summer… It’s time to pay the price for all that cheap gas and oil we’ve had #globalwarming

This is one of those days where it is hard to know what to look at.
Energy is Green, Commodities are looking good, and I see quite a few Green Miners when Gold was down $20. The dow is up over 200, SPX up 25 and NAZ up 78.
Now I see that Silver went Green and Gold is cutting its losses. All of this with the Brexit Vote and Yellens testimony this week.
The old saying, ‘They are climbing that wall of worry’ in action .
i hope any gold rise is sniffing out a #BREXIT Leave result!
my $$$ are suffering against the £££ today… shoulda hedged last week.. but then again, who knew someone would get shot!
You probably heard this, but over the weekend they are saying that the poll results show less favoring an exit.
In fact, CNBC says that THAT is why Oil is green – LOL.
yeah, there’s been a definite swing back to the Remainers.
some activists trying to make political capital out of the dead pro-EU Member of Parliament… probably has some effect on the more mawkish emotive types.
but anyway.. we’ll see if the Brits come to their senses on Thursday
Alex, what do you think of PGLC? Find it odd that it is only $1 off it’s 52 week low– yet look at the volume today…perhaps a late bloomer?
HMMM, It has really strong volume today, so it could be preparing to break out from the consolidation.
It has some pretty wide swings (between $3.75 to $4.25 for example) , so if you enter, you may need to ride a little volatility. I dont like that it had a 1:18 split last yr , but many do that to prevent from getting de-listed from the nasdaq.
I dont know anything about the company, but it is higher on strong volume on a day when Gold was selling off, so it might be stabilizing and may make a run higher. It’s not clear since it is still below the 10 & 20 sma, trying to regain the 50sma.
I guess that I shouldn’t act like I hate all reverse split companies, NADL did good after the split, and NRP is a gold stock that did a reverse split too, and I like that chart
Hello NRP
Thanks 🙂 I’ll keep an eye on it… Here is what little DD I could find on it

Here it is again, competing with DUST 🙂

Not cool to see KGC underperforming like this… :-/
I dont own KGC, but it has had a nice run.
Maybe it is just a shake out below the 50sma, it just lost it and is trying to re-gain it.
Maybe it wants to fill that gap, maybe it is just following Gold for now.
I was in Kinross for quite a while, but my rules took me out when it started the sideways journey. I’m not sure what it is trying to digest, but it has definitely under-performed.
What it is my CF peeps!!! Haven’t checked in much because I’ve been enjoying some quality time with the family, but i’ll post some moves i’ve made last couple of days: shaken out of LABU friday on the break and close below the 100 sma, which I’m obviously not happy about today, but it is what it is. I did buy SID & VALE thursday and friday. Added GDXJ friday also. Still holding EXK, KGC, AUY, & ERX. Added CENX today because it *feels* like it wants to retake that 100 sma. I might stay out of LABU, but not 100% sure yet. I’ve added these others in last few days and they could very well rally as much or more than LABU, so….
MUX – tagged the 10sma and went up about 40 cents this morning. WELL over 100% above the 200sma, but looks like it still wants higher prices after a mini consolidation.
Thats why I only sell 1/2 of my position. It could just take off again, or drop & go sideways….You just cant tell with these things.
I guess that stock split for SGY was well received 🙂
May have jumped the gun on CENX….. thought we’d get that macd cross on the daily today. Let’s see if it can pull it off still…..
…. damnn…. look at that slippery, satiny, sexy crude oil riding that 8 day like it’s it’s job…

Considering all the noise from chicken little’s over the weekend, I am pleasantly surprised that today wasn’t utter chaos – maybe because “Brexit” is just too polite and not threatening enough.
Alex (or anyone) – thoughts on WPX? It was really strong on the last oil run and then didn’t drop back to much except for a one-day slam. But now it is underperforming pretty big with oil shooting higher. I think it might just be lagging and ready to pop soon, so definitely worth a watch. Oversold on the stoch (daily) and should continue to move with oil.
CWEI – so strong I never got the chance to add. I got in and she pulled out of the station immediately. Added to OAS today; bought BTE.
