Friday – Setting Up

When I was a kid and my mother was making Jello or a Chocolate Pudding or Cake, she would tell me that I should not be impatient. I needed to wait until it was finished 'setting up'. That is where we are in the Precious Metals sector, and also some Energy stocks,  so let's take a look  at the markets and then that area in particular...

Sept 10 – Is It A Melt Up?

 

SPX-  I will repeat,  I never called the recent dip an ICL. It lacks the characteristics of one, but what I did say is that we have been overdue for one for a while. So we have a dcl, and similar to the last couple of dcls, the move higher has been a bit choppy, but we have higher lows and higher highs, so an uptrend continues.

SPX - In August I reminded readers that we were due for an ICL, but visually, I still do not clearly see one.

SPX - Then on Sept 1st, I posted this as a cautionary note of a possible rising wedge and mentioned that OCTOBER can be tough for the markets, historically speaking. We have seen some pretty big crashes in October. Will we get the ICL then?  We'll have to be alert going forward to any signs of weakness as this unfolds. So some are long from the recent dcl, I am just helping my readers to see a reason to stay alert, and I will monitor it along the way.
