Friday is a holiday and the markets are closed, so today is the last trading day of the week.  Earlier this week I had  mentioned cycle counts and a possible bearish rising wedge, so 'tighten stops and stay alert' was the thought for the General Markets at that time, but now?  It may be time to consider 'Safety First'.   Let me explain...

XBI  #1  - This was the XBI ( A Biotech ETF) Tuesday.  It landed on the 50sma and also had the support of the 200sma below it.

Wednesday – Moment Of Truth

April 10, 2019 in /by

After a brief market review, allow me to explain why we might actually be at the 'Moment Of Truth' for the precious metals sector

 

.

 

SPX -  The SPX is on day 22 and price inside of this short term bearish wedge is heading into the APEX.  I would expect a drop into the dcl soon. The 200sma may act as support.
