Tuesday – October 2nd

 

SPX– As we’ve seen during the prior daily cycles, price can just ride up along the upper trend line for days. This daily cycle is getting a bit late and will dip into a dcl sooner or later, but as I have mentioned before, a trailing stop may work best, to continue to capture upside.

NASDAQ – The NASDAQ break outs often see a back test as shown, but because of the upward slant, this break out could rise up and and end up back testing higher ( Similar to May).

 

USD – Day 16 has this likely right translated and since we have an ICL, we do expect the USD to move higher for weeks ( With dips and a dcl along the way).  This has hindered Gold, so when the USD dips into a dcl, Gold will likely find its dcl and move higher.  See the weekend report, I explained this there.

 

WTIC – I am thinking that Oils sell off may not have been not real, because Oil & Energy stocks totally ignored it  ( You will see this at the end of the report).  We may have just set the trend line. Does Mondays break of the 10sma concern me & make me that this a drop into the dcl? No,  look at July 10 and July 23 where OIL closed below the 10sma, yet it continued higher for weeks.

XLE & OIH did not close down the same way that Oil did, and many Energy stocks reversed & Closed higher.

AT THE END OF THIS REPORT, I WILL POINT OUT SOME BULLISH LOOKING ENERGY STOCKS

 

LABU –  I had pointed out this inverse H&S Sept 25th, and we are seeing the upside follow through. Many Biotech stocks are Exploding out of their bases.   See ECYT.  Wow.

CRMD #1 – I was a bit early when I bought this base in July, the consolidation continued…

CRMD #2  from yesterdays report – a nice base with signs of life, this looked ready to break out with those strong VOLUME PUMPS.

CRMD #3 –  Boom, up 32% Monday.

 

MBOT –  MBOT is another base that I pointed out a month ago or so.  So I still think that MBOT is a good set up, it too has had some nice volume surges, but the consolidations continues  (for now).  This could go at any time – Buy & hold or keep it on a watch list and check it often.

GOLD & MINERS

 

GOLD –  So Gold sold off further as the USD continued higher out of its ICL.  Since the USD is showing strength, I’m watching how Gold & Miners are acting.  Gold is acting as I thought it would if the USD rallied, but some Miners are really holding their own. If the USD rolls over into a dcl, the 61.8% area may be where Gold finds its DCL, but Miners are showing signs of possible lows.

GDX – This looks like a bullish wedge, and it is day 38. A quick shake out could happen at the 200sma, but Miners closed a bit higher with GOLD down $8 or $9, that is a bit bullish.  Some individual Miners  have a short term bullish look to them…

SO with GOLD selling off and Miners turning green, we saw the GDX:GLD cross higher.  This means that Miners are leading Gold, and that is often what happens before a dcl.

LET’s LOOK AT MINERS ACTING BULLISHLY, WHILE GOLD IS SELLING OF $10 / DAY. THIS COULD BE SIGNALING THAT THE DCL IS NEAR.

 

GG –  GG is off of the lows with Gold selling off , for example.

CDE – CDE is ignoring Silvers sell off by consolidating above the 200sma.  CDE looks bullish with the USD rising and Precious Metals falling. I think that this is a low risk buy

 

NSRPF–  This Miner is ridiculously bullish looking. I have a price target of $7, and it is hardly dipping down to let anyone on board  (As Gold sells off).  Look at this – 50 cents to $6 in less than 3 months.

AG –  Silver is selling off and AG is forming a triangle formation.

DRD – This consolidation also looks good, unable to fill the gap so far.  If these CANNOT sell off during a sell off and just go sideways, they usually move nicely higher during a bounce  ( or out of a DCL).

SAND – Sand in trending higher and found support at the 50sma Monday.

SSRM- As pointed out last week, SSRM is still closer to recent highs, not making new lows.

 

AND SOME ENERGY STOCKS THAT LOOKED FINE DURING OILS SELL OFF.

 

ANW –  This is one that was in the weekend report, and it didnt sell off when Oil did.

 

DNR –  DNR is climbing steadily higher,  still within a base. BUy it here or you could buy it if it pulls back again

 

AMRS –  AMRS already ran up 100% and is consolidating the gains.  This is a bullish set up as it squeezes in this wedge.

LGCY –  I pointed LGCY out in the comments section during the day yesterday that LGCY didnt sell off during OIls dip and…

LGCY–  Then it started to break out in the final hour of trading.

 

SN –  I use loose stops, but I got stopped out of SN yesterday and it reversed back above the 50sma, so this one is still bullish.

 

SWN –  This one and OAS did the same thing, the selling is being bought back.

 

VOC – Break out during Oils sell off.

So you can see that Oils threat to break down here may not be real yet.  These Energy stocks weren’t believing it,  and they remained bullish.

 

I pointed out that SSYS was breaking out on September 12th.  The break was of the 50sma and the down trend line

Sept 27,  SSYS is a buy after doing a ‘back test’ of the trend line. I mentioned that the back test formed an inverse H&S.

SSYS –  OCT 2 –  you can see the back test was successful and SSYS should now be on its way higher.  This has not been an easy ride at all, but it does look like a bullish inverse H&S now.

 

So as you can see, not much has changed from the weekend report. Enjoy your Tuesday trading!

      Yeah, I like MBOT set up too. The only problem with some of the pharma / biotech is that they move so much in their bases ( Like $1.30 to $0.90 and back and forth before taking off. It can be difficult to endure, but if they POP – they really tack on the gains.

    Dave says:

    I know that I’m guilty of trying to search for evidence to support my investment decisions, and I know that I’ve been burned that way in the past, but I still can’t help but see a shift to “risk on” coming in miners any moment now. As Alex pointed out, we’re probably due for the dollar to start searching out its DCL… many individual miners are not dropping while gold finds its DCL… all of the traditional “risk on” ratios (silver:gold; GDX(J):gold; and GDXJ:GDX) are sitting right on rising trendline support… GDX:$USD seems to have completed its backtest of the triangle breakout… GDXJ is on rising trendline support…
    Like Alex has pointed out, it almost seems too perfect…

    • chartfreak1
      chartfreak1 says:

      Hey Dave – I do think that we must be close, many of the miners do seem to be resisting the selling , and that is with Gold down $10 Monday and down last week. Some Miners like CDE have simply gone sideways on the 200sma, and that is usually a sign of strength or accumulation, so the signs are there.

      Hi Ron, I didnt take it myself, but I have so many that I am looking at, it’s like that deer frozen in the headlights.

      One of our readers that never comments in the comments section mentioned the set up on SRRA, and then that went on my watch list.

      DO you have question about PLX, or just wondering if anyone else liked it?

        • chartfreak1
          chartfreak1 says:

          Right. I like it and if it can progress past that 50sma, it could shoot to the 200sma, before possibly back testing that 50sma area, so personally, if it doesnt ROCKET out of this area, I would be aware of the back test of the 50sma later

    Thanks, Alex. Another insightful report. I especially liked your Nasdaq analysis. I’m interested in adding to my leveraged Dow position. Can comment if we’re at a good point to add considering where the Dow is in it’s DC? Thanks.

    • chartfreak1
      chartfreak1 says:

      We are actually not at a good point to add leverage to the Dow, in my opinion. That doesn’t mean that it can’t go higher, but when the dcl comes into play, the downside risk is high – so the risk / reward is not quite optimum.. I love the set up for the general markets longer term, but short term…

      I have us on day 29 for the DOW and that is usually well beyond 1/2 way through the daily cycle, it could begin to start trying to find a dcl in the near future.

      Refresh for a chart to see what I am saying. It seems best to add Leverage at the 50sma area, because that has consistently been the lows. That is just my take on things. Leverage for a few more days may catch more upside, but since a DCL can come in this area, caution is needed.

      I know, right? I hope that CRMD Does that too.
      I saw ECYT up about 25% yesterday, then 30, then 50% , but you just cant tell whether it’ll stick of not

      Now it goes from $1.42 to $6 in 2 days? Crazy!

      My bet is they are heading to bankruptcy. Last I looked a month or so ago they were completely out of cash and had a mountain of bills, but they were in the same spot last year and the pulled off another 5M financing so you could be right. Right now the short interest is 27 days.

    Ralph Wiederzane says:

    Seems like it might take awhile for the miner bull to kick in again. I am trying not to draw conclusions on really short term action, but I would think if miners were in play we would be getting more volatile moves both up and down. It´s ok, we can wait, the good ones are life changing when they come around.

    For my long term charts, we are still teetering around, just slightly in the SELL zone, so it could go either way, but I will wait until it does. A good few day rally could turn them back into BUYS, but so far it aint happening.

  4. Dave
    Dave says:

    Looks like we have a trendline break in GDX and GDXJ… now we go hunting for the 10 sma… if we can hold this to the close, it would confirm that yesterday was the DCL, right?

    I bought MTBC this morning.

    I like the set up, so it is strictly tech analysis – fundamentals unknown. Easy to put a stop below recent sideways support

    Ni idea when this will go, but it does look ready to go

    • chartfreak1
      chartfreak1 says:

      When it reaches the $7+ area, it has hit my initial target, but at this rate…if we get a dcl, that will just add jiuce to an ‘extended ‘ target.

      This was a great run

        • chartfreak1
          chartfreak1 says:

          I think that I would just ride it ( use a stop somewhere below). This one has totally ignored the sell offs in Gold. It has that BUY & HOLD feel to it, as though it is being accumulated along the way and could be a $20 Miner some day ..

          That said, If you know what a ‘public offering’ is…there is always the risk of them doing one and it hurts a lot to see gains evaporate- if it was a big position, maybe I would take some off the table, but I hate to sell a winner like that & watch it go to $10. Tough call , Peter, but not a bad problem to have with recent gains :).

          Peter, if you haven’t, make sure to YouTube the Novo presentation from the Denver gold show from sept 25 or 26.
          Novo just raised $56 million cad from strategic investor Kirkland Lake Gold (sprott) and there are warrants attached around $12 cad.
          This discovery has incredible upside potential. No guarantees in discovery- but I haven’t seen something with so much bluesky in mining (and hype) in a long time… maybe since 90’s. Good luck!

    As mentioned recently- STEEL stocks look to have reversed.

    See X, AKS, CLF, and also Copper stocks TGB, HBM, FCX etc looking good.

    WRN is just plain ole weak at this point – so I cashed in my WRN for meager profits and used that Money to buy MTBC.
    I just got tired of waiting for WRN

    By the way Peter, that was a pretty good entry on your CLF purchase that you mentioned the other day when you lamented that it rolled over on you once. I think you are going to make the money back that they took from you 🙂

      Thanks for always giving a heads up when you exit a position you’ve posted here, Alex – I’ll likely exit also at end of day. No fun taking a loss, but thankfully I bought others you’ve mentioned here that are doing well. I felt like LABU had a close stop, so I went heavy with that awhile back. That one alone cures many ills!

          RonB says:

          i do dabble a bit. Right now I have 25 March contracts of each Taho and GV. The only time I have made money on them is when something was really hated and I could buy cheap with a looooooong time to maturity – oh and with a small amount of $ so I don’t spend time sweating it.

  8. chartfreak1
    chartfreak1 says:

    I SHOULD NOT EVEN WRITE THIS, but for the sake of learning, that does look like a SHORT TERM double top in NSRPF on a intraday chart ( see 5 minute).

    It reached my target of $7 ( missed by 2 cents twice today).

    I wouldn’t sell, I would just add on the pull back, but I am just pointing out that on a 3, 5, or 10 minute, this looks like a double top near $7. The 15 Minute does NOT show it as a double top yet, and may indicate a sideways consolidation from $6.75 to $7 up & down for a while.

    Again, I’m not saying to sell it, I would add on a dip. I am just pointing this out for kicks.

    EDIT: ACTUALLY – IF WE ARE FINDING A DCL, THIS WILL PROBABLY CONTINUE HIGHER

    • Glenfidd
      Glenfidd says:

      Glad you posted that.
      I had a feeling after I posted this am that we must be close to a short term top for me to come out of my hole to name an individual story.
      Novo came very close to your target.
      I’ll be looking for the add over the next month and watching you for guidance.

      • chartfreak1
        chartfreak1 says:

        That made me laugh a bit. It is a great discovery though, and the demand for this stock has been real, your post was in line with that.

        I’m not sure when the next real consolidation will be, but pull up a chart with the 34 sma only on it. It may go sideways for weeks and get there, it may dip a bit and meander sideways, but the 34sma ( And 20sma should be watched too) , may catch a longer consolidation.

        This could just do a runaway move and pauses may be brief, so it is not a sell, but ‘buy the dips’ looks promising if we get any. 🙂
