As was mentioned in yesterdays report, a variety of the markets sectors have been climbing higher and trading has been excellent. Let's examine our current markets...

This was in yesterdays report-
SPX #1 – If this is an ICL, we should have a month or two off of the lows, but we are seeing price enter ‘resistance’ areas. It CAN push higher, but we are nearing an area that may offer resistance and stall price too. The markets have been straight up, but going forward they may get choppy.
Read MoreAs the various sectors bounce out of their recent lows, they continue to do pretty good on the Climbing Wall. Some may be climbing the so called 'Wall of worry'. Let's take a look at the progress...

SPX #1 - If this is an ICL, we should have a month or two off of the lows, but we are seeing price enter 'resistance' areas. It CAN push higher, but we are nearing an area that may offer resistance and stall price too.
Read MoreIn The last quarter of 2018, various areas of the markets began drying up and going stale. We saw the equity markets & Oil crashing down and many good set ups that would form would quickly fall apart. Trades in Miners and some of the Medical Marijuana companies were playing out ok, but there was definitely a choppy vibe in the GDX & GDXJ area too, into December.
.
Suddenly, we have seen bottoms develop (temporary or longer term bottom remains to be seen), and along with these bottoms are set ups that are finally working out, and many are working out very well. Let's take a look at Mondays action...
.
REMINDER: At the end of December, IN MY REPORT, I mentioned that this reversal candle on day 39, was a buy in technical analysis, with a stop under that days lows. If an ICL is in place (Day 1) , those lows will not be broken for weeks. So far, this is playing out well. You can see that I said that " This is a BUY" in that December report.
Read MoreWe have all seen changes take place in various places during our lifetime. The Theme picture highlights how things have changed from your parents day to today, or maybe even your youth to today. Changes can be gradual or sudden, and in the markets we have seen both gradual changes in character to sudden sharp change in market direction and sentiment. Bull to Bear and Bearish to Bullish. As we review our Big Picture of the Markets, we can keep the idea of those types of 'Changes' in mind.

The 600 Point drop in the DJIA Thursday did not concern me. We caught the lows and I posted this after Thursdays trading...
SPX DAILY - We caught the lows with Decembers reversal and day 6 flipped higher off of the trend line & had nice follow through. I WOULD SAY THAT YOU CAN NOW RAISE STOPS TO THURSDAYS LOWS TO BE SAFE. The blue line resistance can be broken, I just drew it to show where we may stall.
Read MoreAfter a quick market review, Todays report will include a long section reminding us about a recent discussion that we had.
.
DJIA - The DOW dropped over 600 points on Thursday, but the chart does not show 'damage ' at this point, though it did drop under the 10sma. It is a trend line back test so far.

QQQ - Markets gapped down Wednesday, but reversed higher as the day went on. We have expected an ICL, and these lows should hold for a while, but it also may be choppy.
Read More I imagine that with this opening theme picture, you may think that I am going to start by discussing the burning Hemp Legalization topic or something? Well, actually, this report is going to focus on just one thing, and that is The Precious Metals Sector.
Read MoreI would venture to say that by now, after the past several weeks of choppiness and selling off, most if not all here know my thoughts on how things could play out going forward. It does seem that things are lining up now. let's let the charts speak for themselves. Let's get right into it...
.
SPX - On Dec 24th, I gave several reasons that this should be the ICL that I have been expecting. I mentioned the PUT / CALL Ratio, Sentiment, etc, so a reversal here is a buy with a stop under the lows...
SPX - Capitulation volume came in on day 38, and that is good timing for a DCL/ ICL. The 3 day bounce is not even near 'Overbought".
This is where it gets important...
Read MoreThe DJIA was up over 1000 points yesterday! Now that's a bounce, in fact, I believe that it was the largest up day in the DJIA....Ever. I want to review what I mentioned in my last report. I had about 6 charts of the General Markets, so if you need to go back and review them all, I had a few in the beginning, and a few at the close...
.
I pointed out the Capitulation type volume, 50 % Fib retrace, the 200 weekly MA, etc . and then stated...
After that SPX chart, I wrote this:
.
" When I look at the Equity Market Sentiment ( FEAR AND PANIC), and I look at the Puts Call ratio, I Look at the cycle count, the Fib #’s, The number of stocks trading below the 50 & 200sma, and a number of other things etc etc etc, it really looks like we are very close to an ICL. I will have to watch how the first 2 daily cycle play out from there, but a snap back rally seems overdue. A 1-2 month rally in the General Markets would also fit in with a pull back for Gold into the next Gold ICL."
.
Wednesday, we saw the DJIA rally up 1000 Points! - Well, that sounds pretty awesome, but it does feel like the Dow has also been giving up about 600 every few days, so is this what we have been waiting for?
Let's discuss how things seem to be LINING UP...
