Volatility in April Gold has us testing a decent trend line. Today’s low so far just kisses the trendline below.
NO, TRENDLINES DON’T ALWAYS WORK. Agreed.
YES, THERE’S A CHANCE WE SETTLE BELOW THIS T-LINE and then you can’t be long.
ON the first test, however, its a place to look at a long spec.
The decision is yours.
Charts are only useful if they help you make good trades. I like getting long here against this T-line.
If it fails, run hard and run fast and limit […]
SpM Contract high one week ago today. That’s right, Its been exactly 1 week. Today’s low as of this writing is 1809, but we’ll probably get an 1800 print. That’s a whopping 3 percent correction.
1674 would be a 10% correction that bears have been praying for over the 4 months.
On this chart, the bottom of the channel is 1781. We might be there next week if the bears get their teeth into this market finally. They tried in February, but only got a 7% […]
Both June S&P and June Dow futures have rallied back to those trend lines I pointed out on Monday.
Act accordingly, but they give a good level for trade entries. For both Bulls and Bears. Everyone talks about technical being insignificant. I guarantee everyone out there is looking at this T-line.
Above is the Dow T-line to watch.
April of 2013 June14 nasdaq futures were on their heels at 2716. Fast forward through a 1,017 pt rally over 12 months. All the while every one saying “no, “don’t buy it” no, “its over done” no, “its smoke and mirrors”. If you listened to those bears now, I guess after a 4 session 214 point correction, they are finally proven “right”? if you were short this market all last year trying to sell the top that was the wrong move. So after a 4 day correction, be careful jumping in and getting short, only to set yourself up for getting stopped out on a […]
16285 is the Trend Line Intersection Today.
Its a pivot.
Be aware of how we settle against this t-line today.
In my opinion, too many people are falling all over themselves trying to sell the top here. They’ve been at it for 15 months. They have gotten a couple single digit corrections, but in the end have been chased out of every attempt to sell this market.
At some point, we’ll get the correction. I agree. But in the mean time, I think you buy dips with tight […]

Corn: CK finished up 1 ¾ cent at $5.01 ¼. New crop CZ settled up 5 ¼ cents at $5.06 ¾, which is a NEW 7-MONTH HIGH SETTLE. For the week, CK gained 8 ¼ cents, while CZ gained 19 cents. CZ has now gained 57 ¾ since its 3-1.2 year low settlement posted in January, down at $4.49. This is net gain of 13% over the past 12 weeks. The funds were early sellers and late buyers as they continue to defend their biggest long position since the drought of 2012. Last estimates had the funds long over 250,000 contracts. […]
Both the June Dow and S&P contracts posted new all time highs today. Not coincidentally, we are less than 16 hours away from Friday’s Un-enjoyment figure. The average guess is 170 to 200K new jobs. The buls are predicting 250K new jobs.
Since we are trading the futures market, one would have to agree that this information has been digested and priced into current levels.
If you ‘ve been reading my blog for the last year, I’ve commented that the grind higher continues in the face of a lot of bearish sentiment. There is still a bunch of $ sitting on the sidelines. This even […]

Two Charts to look at on the Stock Indexes prior to Friday’s Unemployment figures:
YMM14 (Doe Index) 16.465 remains the high which was posted on New years Eve, just 3 months ago. After that , we had the February Swoon, followed by the bulls fighting back every bit of that 7% pull back.
Friday we look to be funneling into a real test of that old high. A settlement above that level would open the door for Dow 17,300.
A lot of the general public is still out of this market. As always, its going to take a big psychological target to bring them back. I […]
