Just The Facts – 31 Charts Of Evidence

For the past few weeks I have daily been pointing out various 'clues' in the Precious Metals Markets indicating that a drop could lead to a nice summer rally in Gold & Miners. Is there any 'evidence' saying that such a rally is still ahead?  Some have sent me articles  ( like the one shown  below) saying that Gold is just a pet rock, Gold is Doomed, Gold has no value, and will continue to drop until it gets to $600-$800.  Well of course anything can happen, but in the weekend report we will look at all of the 'evidence' and draw our conclusions from the charts

GREED & FEAR

We all have many choices to make when trading the markets day after day. They say that it is Greed and Fear that often rule the markets at critical turning points. Thats why it is important to know who you are as a trader,  and what your threshold of Risk is.  With that in mind, I am going to make a recommendation, but the choice is yours to make, with the information supplied.

WAITING

"The Train has left the station".   In trading, no one likes to hear those words. We want to be ready to get on board before the train leaves the station.  Today we will discuss the schedule of the GOLD TRAIN, and see  when it is due to leave the station.  First lets look at the markets...

In the weekend report, I mentioned a pullback was near based on Fridays charts of the SPX, NASDAQ and the Vix. SPX was at prior highs again. Nasdaq was gapping up outside of  the B.Bands.

Be Prepared

There are times that the markets ebb and flow and then there are times when they go to extremes. By studying the charts, we can often be prepared for good trading opportunities that can come from many of these situations. Lets discuss what the charts are currently saying, especially in Precious Metals...

First : In the past I have pointed out what the Vix at 12 can often lead to.  Notice that when the VIX hits 12 &  rises  (top box) , the markets pull back  (middle box).

VIX 7-21

In my weekend report, I mentioned with this July 17 chart that I expected the markets to drop.  If the QQQ Gapped open, I said to sell it. 

QQQ 7-17

RISK

This weekends report talked about "Drops",  because many markets like the  Shanghai and even our own markets recently encountered them. I mentioned that after a drop, their often comes a great opportunity and now the equity markets were rallying.  Gold has entered its cycle timing to put in a low after it finishes its current drop too.  What does that mean?  It means we should discuss RISK, as we approach what I think is going to be an excellent  buying opportunity in the precious metals area.  First lets review the markets...

 

NASDAQ - We have rallied nicely out of the ICL as expected. We are outside the Bollinger Bands (not shown) and we could get a pause here sideways, or even a pullback. Notice that eventually all break outs get tested.

NAZ 7-20

Interesting thing about the chart of the SPX...

Talking About Drops

Seems that lately we've been hearing a lot about "Drops" in the markets. Remember when CNBC was reporting that Shanghais drop  may never end until it hits the lows again? Its collapsing!  All drops end, and this one looked like it may just return to the break out.

SSEC

It did..

SSEC

And the stock market itself just had a drop, blaming the concerns of China,  Greece , etc as the problem. Lets discuss these drops since GOLD / MINERS starting dropping rather rapidly last week too. Will it end? Of course. Where and when ??  Lets discuss drops ...

A Matter Of Time

Lets talk about timing.

So far the markets are acting as expected for an equity market that has found its ICL.  The Excessive Bearish sentiment , Put / Call Ratio extremes , the Vix and Various set ups pointed out here in early July were all calling for a contrary reaction.  Not what the crowd would expect.  I expected a rally, but waiting for it each day seemed like time was being warped.    I still see the Precious Metals under similar circumstances, but as you wait for an inverse reaction , it seems like each day is a week.  Lets review this thinking.

Here is one of the many charts that I used to say that I expected a meaningful low in the equity Markets. This was July 6th.  Extremes comparable to OCT & Feb lows were in place, but when would we see a rally?

SPX T

SPX July 15 -   Notice that after July 6th, we dropped to new lows July 7,8,9. Three  days felt like forever, but now they are forgotten.  The rally continues to have follow through.

SPX July-15

Keep the above in mind, and we'll discus it further in the report.
