Anti Gravity

March 8, 2016 /98 Comments/in /by

The stocks that we have been trading / investing in have been defying gravity for weeks. The fact that we are catching them right at the lows gives us time to enjoy the ride and nit worry about a short term pullback. So far, a short term pullback is rather hard to come by. Lets review the markets and look for more set ups.

SPX - It may be early in the investor cycle, but this doesnt look ready to power higher to me. I expect the markets to fail at resistance, at least short term.

SPX 3-7

It’s In The Charts

March 7, 2016 /14 Comments/in /by

Well, the past several weeks have been excellent for trading Metals, Miners, and Energy, and whether you follow me in the Public area or the premium side, I hope you've had a chance to make some solid gains. I've already discussed in past public posts about chart set ups in Miners and Commodities like X, AKS, FCX, CLF, etc, so  Lets take a look at the recent crazy but very lucrative trading set ups in Energy.

OIL & ENERGY - Why?

.

WTIC -  As I pointed out in a public report weeks ago,  I was looking for a possible bottom in Oil around $26.09 from this Nov Wkly chart.

WTIC WKLY 11-13

 

WTIC WKLY - I believe Oil bottomed in a shake out type manner.  Is it just a bounce? This chart looks quite Bullish.

WTIC wkly 3-4

Anything Else?

March 6, 2016 /114 Comments/in /by

Well, the past several weeks have been excellent for trading , and we have seriously had reasons to celebrate, catching the lows in various sectors. All good things come to an end, so is it that time yet? Can we keep the celebration going?  lets review!

.

SPX ( or SPY) - A few weeks ago I was calling for a rally to get the bulls excited. Those who wanted to play it long should now be a bit more cautious short term. We have reached the spy gap, using a wedge to transport us there. The 200sma is there on the spx too 😉

SPY 3-4

Lets look at  another indication that the SPX is at least short term topping, and we'll then look at a longer term weekly SPX chart.

Trading has been amazing, and there are still some set ups that we can examine.  Lets get to it...

Now look at this ...

The Beat Goes On

March 2, 2016 in /by

  Yes, The beat goes on and the drums are on fire.  In my last few reports, I have mentioned how we were focused on Miners and commodities lately.  Did you see the Commodity stocks and especially the  Steel stocks today?  Many were up 15- 20+% today alone.  Take a look at charts of  X, […]

Not A Whole Lot Of Change Here

March 2, 2016 /57 Comments/in /by

The markets are basically moving as expected, so without a whole lot of change, there isnt a whole lot to talk about. We'll do a quick market and then discuss some trade ideas.

.

SPX-  Good follow through.

SPX 3-1

 

I've been discussing a rally for 2 weeks now, but where do I think this is heading?

Public Report – Update For The Golden Pennant

March 1, 2016 /19 Comments/in /by

Many people are looking at this almost perfect Bullish Pennant forming in Gold. Many are also looking at the C.O.T. report that came out Friday and seeing bearish implications.  Yes, Bull Flags can fail, but for now it remains a bullish trading pattern, so lets discuss Gold here using a few of todays charts from […]

What has been working lately?

March 1, 2016 /41 Comments/in /by

The markets have been quite volatile and choppy, and that can be difficult to trade. At chartfreak, we've been focusing on bases and up trends, so lets do a market review and discuss this further.

.

SPX- I've been saying that I expect higher price, but this has been quite choppy.  If we dont get a surge higher soon, this could become an overbought bearish rising wedge.

SPX 2-29
