I wanted to title this report "We got it!", that was by request actually, but you will see as we go through the charts that I cannot say that quite yet. Dont get me wrong, I believe that you will like the ingredients of this report, so let's get right to it...

.

SPX - The SPX failed when it dropped below the Sept 12th lows, and has struggled under the 50sma and even the 10sma. It needs to prove itself, but it is struggling. The NASDAQ stocks  GOOG, NFLX, AAPL, and others do look bullish, so I am just watching how this plays out over time. I am much more focused on the Gains that can be made in Miners.

When I am preparing food on the grill, I'm checking the temperature, watching for grill marks, looking for a change in color, and several other signs to know when the food is ready.  In a similar manner, we have been watching various aspects of the precious metals markets and also looking for a variety of signs indicating when they may be ready for consumption.     🙂

How do things look?  Lets take a look...

The SPX ( Left Translated) dropped to break the prior lows and then put in a shake out reversal.  It has struggled at the 50sma, and now that it faled, I expect it to roll over, possibly after tagging that 50sma again.

The Fed Minutes are scheduled to be released today. At times like this, we sometimes get a glimpse of what was behind the recent decision on interest rates.  Is inflation starting to creep in? Just how divided or united were the Fed members when it came to timing for rate hikes,  etc. Lets take a look at the charts and cycles and see if we can glean some idea of what could happen after the Fed Minutes are released.

SPX - HMMM, This daily cycle peaked very early  (day 8), and today is day 21. There are false break downs and shake outs in life, but this should be viewed as a warning sign. Why? I see a left translated daily cycle breaking down with maybe 10 more days to go.  I see more room to drop on the stochastics, and a weak RSI.  The Fed minutes could sink this ship or perform a miracle 'shake out' type move and a recovery, but this is a bearish set up the way I see it at this point.

Another week of choppy trading, but there is a lot to talk about this weekend.  It may be time to start gathering the goods, so lets get right to the charts.

.

SPX - More of the same, Capped at the 50sma and L.T. ( left Translated) so far, it still needs to break one way or the other. Markets do not like indecision, and maybe this is what we get until after the elections. Please read the chart.
