March 3 Trade Ideas

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

.

WTIC - Starting with OIL, this looks set up to pop.    I pointed out  a possible bottom in oil a couple of weeks ago , and I mentioned that when Oil broke to new lows, some Oil  stocks like WTI had higher lows and held up nicely.

WTIC 3-2

Now look at this ...

Not A Whole Lot Of Change Here

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?

What has been working lately?

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 . Read More

Is That A Bull Flag?

On Feb 17th, after the recent run up in Gold, I mentioned that it could Pause and form a Bull Flag.  These are often just a pause along the way  (although they can fail).  So lets discuss the last few days and discuss Golds Bull Flag and other important implications that I am seeing.

.

Feb 17 - I discussed a possible Bull Flag forming after a strong run higher. 

GOLD 2-17

Feb 24,  We have the Flag and it is often  just a pause before continuing to run higher.

GOLD 2-24

Then I started seeing similar bullish formations in various Miners, like TGD. This is an ascending wedge or ascending triangle, and usually plays out in a bullish break higher too. Hmmm.

TGD 2-25

Lets discuss chart patterns and look at some more Miners...

Quite A Ride

There were reversals all over the place yesterday.  From the Market sell off and Oil reversing higher, to  Gold and The Miners breaking out only to turn lower. What can we expect going forward?

.

SPX - Volatility has produced many reversal here at the lows, but I think they were just clearing everyone out before a run higher.

SPX 2-24

In an earlier report, I pointed out this possibility, and we see it playing out...

Buy Sell Or Hold

I've been expecting a multi week rally in the markets since Feb 11, and so far it is pretty lack luster.  I noticed weakness in the SPX on Monday and mentioned that I thought this would cause the 'rally' to stall.

  I posted this chart, read the writing.

SPX 2-22

The SPX was rejected at the 50 sma.

.

Last week we saw a healthy set up for a move higher

SPX 2-17

This week...

Rockets

We have been on a rocket ship ride for a month now in Gold & Miners.  Whenever someone posts a "Rocket" as a headline picture in their report,  we usually immediately get a pullback.  I'm ready, so I thought that I would give it a try 🙂

.

This is the rocket (this was my chart from Feb 16). 

GOLD 2-16 b

We will discuss Precious Metals in a moment,  but first lets do a complete review starting with the SPX...
