Fed Wednesday- Think Outside the Box

  First we look at the charts and see what we can learn from recent price action. Short term indecision can cause volatility or lack of direction and we see that lately.   Today at 2 p.m.  will we get some additional information from a Fed Release  that pushes various market sectors one way or the other into a trending move?  For Gold, Silver , & Miners I am thinking outside the box a bit today . Lets see what the charts are indicating...

SPX - The MACD looks to be weakening at this point  ( weaker MACD & lack of follow through so far).

Sideways Moves

As mentioned in prior reports, sideways consolidations and bases can build up energy for larger directional moves. The Vix chart  above ( click on it) seems to be basing and other sectors also have been moving in sideways in consolidations. If the VIX breaks out & runs eventually, the markets should correct.  Lets take a closer look  at recent activity and see if we can determine what it means.

SPX- So far the dips have been bought and trading this pattern has been obvious, but is it due to change sometime soon?

Tricky Times

I dont always do a Friday report, but things looked fairly interesting today in various markets. There is uncertainty in the waters below and it may be up to the Friday Jobs report to set things in motion.  May the picture above emphasize the need to honor stops so we can trade another day .

$TRAN-  We've discussed the Dow Theory and "sell In May" concepts.   Will Fridays jobs report bring  recovery or sell off?
