August 11, 2015 /61 Comments/in /by

I was very happy to see the steps that the Metals and OIL markets took as the day went on. We will discus those steps in detail further on in the report, but first lets take a look at one of the major players in todays movement. 

 

USD - many were saying how strong the DOLLAR was looking, but I was writing that it looked weak internally, since mid July. This should bode well for Commodities.

USD 8-7

DIFFERENT

August 10, 2015 /68 Comments/in /by

For quite some time I have been pointing out things to take note of that are a little different than many others saw things. I think others are starting to see what we were pointing out here months ago. I was mentioning  a bearish rising wedge pattern in the spring, and in June I looked at the SPX this way.

SPX WKLY 6-17 

JULY 24, the SPX had not broken out from that toppy looking curve.

SPX WKLY 7-24

Would the BULL MARKET break higher soon?

When dealing with Cycles, there are times that they are getting s-t-r-e-t-c-h-e-d, and other times when the count has simply started over.  Right now in the Precious Metals markets we are facing that situation, so lets discus that further after we review some other areas of the markets.

 SPX - more sideways action. Yesterdays rally attempt sold off

 

 

SPX 8-5

Lets get right to the charts...

I mentioned yesterday that in addition to other things like the SOX, TRAN, and a few other things, AAPL showed signs of cracking. Please dont shoot the messenger, but it sold off further. Watch to see how this acts on the Bounce or recovery move higher.

Weekend Approaching

I wanted to write this late day report for 2 important reasons-

1. You've been filling up the comments section on the last report, so I thought you needed a fresh space to write in  🙂

2. Even thought things are still playing out pretty much  as expected in certain areas, this is just a reminder about being able to sleep over the weekend.

 

Lets do a quick review...

 Wednesdays Fed Meeting went off without a hitch. Sometimes the following day can get a little volatile, so Lets look at some clues within the market moves and see if things look normal or sketchy
