Today I want to address how, even though we can see movement within 'cycle expectations' get stretched or a bit extended, it is still just a matter of time before Markets seek their lows. I will discuss this in the Precious Metals Section of the report.

SPX - Though this reversal can be viewed as bullish and be bought with a stop under the lows, We still need to see a break out and follow through. 

Lat's look at the NASDAQ...

As time moves forward, the Market big picture always become clearer, so let's see what has been happening this week, with a few added 'surprises'. I'll also add in 3 more trade ideas.

SPX - This is a possible inverse H&S forming now. The DCL would be the head, and whether or not you took a long trade while waiting to see how this develops ( I have had concerns based on the XLF and a few other factors) you can see that you have not missed any great move in these choppy markets.  Notice that Price is STILL the same price as day 1, the first day after the swing low!   That said,  If you want to go long based on the possible inverse H&S and place a stop under the 50sma with a little wiggle room, this is as good a place as any to do that  risk reward wise.

NYA -  I was concerned with the dropping MACD , so I still have concerns there...

XLF - One of my main concerns was the financials and bank stocks like  GS, BAC, JPM, etc. Until I see a recovery, I will still be concerned, but again, price is at a low risk reward area in some of the General Markets. I am not Long or short currently.

NASDAQ -  We Don't want to get too bullish and forget this chart from Thursdays report of the NASDAQ on Wednesday. This is still in place and that MACD has dropped further.  Markets have just been very choppy and volatile and I am still cautious on their ability to gain more upside at this point. They need to prove themselves and the Financials need to do that soon, in my opinion.

Wednesday when the Oil inventory report was released, Oil reacted to a resistance point. Later in the day, when the Fed Minutes were released, various  markets also reacted to their resistance points.

.

NYA April 4th - I've been a bit cautious about the General Markets and pointed out the  charts of the NYA & the XLF . Let's take a look ...

NYA APRIL 5th - The move higher has had weak divergence, and it was turned back again Wednesday at resistance.

XLF April 4th - For almost 2 weeks I have been pointing this out as a reason that I am not overly Bullish about the markets at this point. This needed to recover for me to feel a bit more comfortable going long.

This was the XLF on Wednesday

SPX - 3 days ago I was noticing how similar this pullback was to the one in December

SPX - The follow through is good and the RSI looks promising. The one in December went sideways for a while, but this one is coming right off of the 50sma and would be more likely to run higher instead of sideways if it continues higher.

This next chart looks very good...
