HUI & Gold …Who’s Leading Whom ?

The Key Principle of this market analysing discipline we call Chartology : What makes the markets go up and down and sideways is investor’s and trader’s emotions.

From the little guy trading on his laptop to some big hedge fund manager that has an office full of people telling him what to do. The sum total of everyone’s psychology and conviction is what creates the many different chart patterns we are constantly searching for. Take for example the principle of  Reverse Symmetry , how a stock goes up is often how it comes back down. Something one needs to look for when you’re analyzing a chart for the purpose of discerning the next probable move . It doesn’t make any difference what time frame you’re looking at either. This is the reason, when you have a parabolic rise in a stock, you’ll see a very similar decline which many times is faster than when it went up.  The reason for this is because the stock  spent very little time consolidating the impulse move , only taking the time to form very small consolidation patterns which don’t have the staying power of a big consolidation pattern. There is nothing to offer support once the reversal takes place.The conviction (psychology again) of the market players is not there .

The weekly chart below shows you some nice reverse symmetry on the combo chart that has the HUI on top and Gold on the bottom. Don’t pay any attention to the top chart, CDNX:Gold ratio chart. The two lower charts for the HUI and Gold are what I want to focus in on.

What do I really mean by Reverse Symmetry? First lets look at the HUI’s massive H&S top and the price action above big neckline #2. Think of the massive H&S top on a piece of paper on your desk. Then think of the bull market highs for both the HUI and Gold as the center of your piece of paper, black dashed vertical line. Next grab the right hand side of your piece of paper and fold it to the left side of the chart using the bull market highs, black dashed vertical line, as the center of your piece of paper. You can see how the right shoulder lays right on top of the left shoulder. There is your reverse symmetry.

Another good example of some reverse symmetry is on the lower half of the weekly gold chart starting at reversal point #6 on the bullish rising wedge on the left hand side of the chart and the #1 reversal point on the bearish falling wedge on the right side of the chart. Note the left side of the chart has a bullish rising wedge and the right side of the chart shows a bearish falling wedge, reverse symmetry.

This combo chart also has some very telling price action on it. Note where the HUI’s current price action is relative to its 2008 crash low. The HUI is trading well below that very important low. Now look at where Gold’s current price action is trading relative to its 2008 crash low. It’s trading way above its 2008 crash low which tells us the HUI is much much weaker than Gold. The only relative strength I see for the HUI is that it’s trading just above its bottom trendline while gold is trading right on its bottom trendline. Don’t make the mistake of thinking that if gold breaks down from here the HUI is not going to suffer. Gold is actually leading the HUI now by a small margin so if it breaks down the HUI won’t be far behind.

If one is bullish on the HUI the first thing you will need to watch for is for the price action to break back above the blue falling dashed trendline that is showing the tops for reversal points 4, 6 and 8. If the HUI can do that then the 2008 crash low comes into play as the next area of overhead resistance around 150 or so. Gold is ever so close to breaking below the 2 1/2 year bottom rail of its bearish falling wedge. I don’t think anyone is looking at these very large consolidation patterns on the HUI and Gold, and what the consequences are if they break below their respective 2 1/2 year bottom trendlines. It has been a relentless bear market making lower highs and lower lows especially during the 2 1/2 year blue consolidation patterns. The only thing that is missing is the capitulation phase which finally takes out those that have been hoping every low was the start of the next bull market. One can only imagine the pain and fragility that must be felt by those still holding losing positions for over four years now. The last 2 1/2 years has lulled many into thinking things have to get better in this beaten down sector. Everyone who has bought an ounce of gold since the bull market high in September of 2011 and still holding has a losing position as of the close today.  As a matter of fact everyone who has bought an ounce of gold at any time in the last 6 years has a losing position . Maybe this is the bear market bottom which will prove them right but I will have to see more evidence before this bear market is over for me.

a hui and gold comob finsihed

This next chart will give us the next important clue that the impulse move that began at the fourth reversal point in gold’s blue bear flag, about six weeks or so ago, has finished up with its first small red consolidation pattern and is beginning the next leg down for Gold and up for the US dollar. I know its hard to believe but this impulse move down for gold is already six weeks in the making. One never knows how a move will ultimately play out but I have shown you a countless number of chart which shows these very small red consolidation patterns, that slope in the same direction of the prevailing trend, usually show up in fast moving markets. We are as close as we can get to starting next important move for these two stocks.

a gold hii combo

Below is the long term daily combo chart we’ve been following on the stock markets in which I was showing you reverse symmetry taking place after the double bottoms were formed, red arrows. As you can see its not a perfect science but more of an art thing. It’s just another tool we can put into our Chartology toolbox. Have a great weekend. All the best…Rambus

Weekend Report…The Chartology of Deflation .

About a month or so ago I started posting regularly on the possible inflection point I was seeing in regards to the deflationary trend that has been on going since 2011. As you know stocks move from a reversal or consolidation pattern in an impulse move which is much different than a sideways chopping action of a reversal or consolidation pattern. Impulse moves are the stored up energy that is released once a reversal or consolidation pattern is finished doing its job. About four weeks ago it looked like the most recent consolidation phase was coming to an end which would then leave the door opened to an impulse move.

At the first writing of the possible inflection point the US dollar was still trading within the confines of its possible bullish falling wedge which I viewed as a consolidation pattern to the upside. Shortly after that first post on the possible inflection point the US dollar broke out of its bullish falling wedge and is now approaching its previous high just above 100 or so. The US dollar is the key driver for this deflationary spiral that has been in place for over four years now with no light at the end of the tunnel for the commodities complex yet.

You’re probably getting tired of all the post on the US dollar but this is where the truth lies in regards to the falling commodities complex. Without a rising US dollar the deflationary scenario would not have a chance of playing out. Some of the more important commodities have now started their next impulse move lower which could very well be the capitulation phase where the baby is thrown out with the bathwater. If this is the beginning of the capitulation phase it should be relentless in nature whereby investors just throw up their hands in disgust and exit their positions at any price.

The first chart of many tonight is a short term one year daily chart for the US dollar that shows the bullish falling wedge in detail. The breakout was just a tad on the sloppy side but the top rail of the blue rectangle, that formed out toward the apex, held support which has led to the current move higher. As you can see the price action is approaching the high made back in March of this year which the US dollar will need to take out to confirm then next impulse move higher is truly underway.  So far so good.

US DLLAR DAY SHORT

The longer term two year daily chart for the US dollar shows the previous impulse move up out of the five point blue rectangle reversal pattern in 2014. That impulse move created three smaller red consolidation patterns which is what one likes to see during a strong impulse move.

US DLLAR 2 YEAR DCAY

Below is a daily line chart which shows the previous impulse move up with a nice clean breakout and backtest of the bullish falling wedge. Again you can see the three smaller blue consolidation patterns that formed in that strong impulse move up.

us doallar day line

This next chart is a 30 year monthly bar chart I showed you many times once the top rail of the blue bullish falling wedge was broken to the upside. This chart is a very important to understanding the longer time view. Note the breakout and backtest to the top rail of the 30 year bullish falling wedge which shows the small red bullish falling wedge which is the same falling wedge we just looked at on the daily charts above. Pieces of the puzzle.

udd 11111

This next chart is a weekly combo chart which has the US dollar on top and gold on the bottom. Note how close the US dollar is to testing its recent high while gold is testing its recent low. If the US dollar is getting ready to breakout to a new high then it stands to reason that gold will break to new lows as the inverse correlation comes into play.

UDS GOLD COMBO

If the US dollar can close out the month of November right where it’s now it will be at a 13 year high on the long term monthly line chart and a new high for its bull market.

dollar monthl line

Lets look at one last chart of the US dollar which is the monthly candlestick chart. This chart clearly shows that when the US dollar is in a strong impulse move up it will produce a string of white candlesticks and when it’s in a strong impulse move down it will form a string of black candlesticks. The previous impulse move up created nine white monthly candlesticks in a row.

us dllar monthly candle stick

If the US dollar is breaking out of a bullish falling wedge then there is a good chance that the $XEU is breaking out of a similar pattern only in the opposite direction. The long term monthly chart for the $XEU shows this to be true.

xeu montly

The long term monthly chart for the $XEU shows a different pattern that has the same implications as the chart above if it breaks below the black dashed down slopping trendline which would be showing us this latest impulse move down is just halfway finished.

xeu monthly bearish falling channel

If the US dollar is showing strength in here then we should see some weakness in some of the commodities indexes. The daily chart for the $CRB index shows it has broken down out of the blue bearish rising wedge complete with a backtest.

crb day

The monthly chart for the $CRB index shows it has broken down below the brown shaded S&R zone with a backtest to the underside currently testing its bear market lows.

crb monthly

The very long term 60 year quarterly chart for the $CRB index now shows how close it’s to breaking below the brown shaded support and resistance zone going all the way back to the early 1970’s. That’s pretty incredible when put it  into perspective.

crb quaterlly

After breaking out from a five point black triangle reversal pattern as its bear market top the $GNX has created one consolidation pattern below the next showing us its bear market is still intact.

gnx day

The DBC is probably the most actively traded commodities index to track. It too buillt out a black 5 point triangle reversal pattern as its bear market top. After breaking below the 2008 crash low the DBC then built out the red rectangle just below that very important support zone which has recently broken out to the downside making new all time lows.

DBC MONTHLY

Lets now look at the most important commodity on the planet the $WTIC, oil index. The daily chart below shows a possible blue bearish falling wedge / H&S consolidation pattern forming. Last week oil was backtesting the neckline of a small H&S top that is forming the possible right shoulder.

OIL DAY 1

Below is a daily chart for oil which shows the possible stand along H&S consolidation pattern.

OIL SAND ALONE H&S CONS

If you recall I used this daily chart for oil to take our first short position when the price action rallied up into the top rail of the falling wedge and the bottom blue rail of the bearish rising wedge.

oil day 2 risihg wedge

Below is a weekly chart which is showing us two wedges. There is the smaller blue bearish rising wedge forming inside of the possible very large black  bearish falling wedge.

OIL WEEKLY 2 WEDGES

The 20 year monthly chart for oil shows how the larger falling wedge fits into the bigger picture as a possible halfway pattern to the downside within a possible downtrend channel.

The oil monthly bearish falling wege hp

Natural Gas is another commodity that has taken it on the chin recently. The weekly chart shows a multi H&S topping pattern with a recent breakdown of the third neckline and a backtest to the underside last week.

NAT GAS 1

The 10 year chart for natural gas shows a H&S top with a huge breakout black candlestick signaling the H&S top was completed. You can see how the red Diamond pattern is forming as a possible halfway pattern.

natural gass monthly

The very long term 25 year monthly chart for $NATGAS shows how the smaller H&S top, on the weekly chart above, fits into the big picture. As you can see it’s just part of a massive topping pattern that actually topped out in 2005 or so.

a natural

Next lets look at several more important commodity charts that gives us a feel for how long this deflationary episode may play out at a minimum. The long term weekly chart for copper shows a massive seven point blue triangle reversal pattern that is the head portion of an even bigger H&S top. The backtest to the neckline formed the small red triangle consolidation pattern which just broke down two weeks ago. It looks like the next impulse move down has begun.

copper weekly 1

The 20 year monthly chart for copper shows how the breakout from the six year H&S top is really just getting underway to the downside after completing the backtest.

copper montnly

The 40 year quarterly chart for copper shows us a possible low on top of the massive black flat top triangle around the 1.47 area. As this is a quarterly chart you can see there is still some considerable time left for the 1.47 price objective to be reached.

copper 400 year

The monthly chart for KOL, coal etf, shows it has really declined sharply since topping out in 2011 with a huge H&S top. It’s now trading below its 2008 crash low.

KOL MNLT

There are a couple of long term charts I would like to show you that relate to the commodities being in a weakened state. The monthly chart for BHP shows it’s in a well entrenched impulse move down.

BHP MONTHLY

RIO looks like it’s finishing up with the breakout and backtesting process of a massive H&S top formation. During the bull market years it formed a parabolic uptrend which came to an abrupt halt leading into the 2008 crash lows.

RIO TINT

POT is another stock that looks like it’s completing a massive H&S top that has broken below its neckline.

POT MONTHLY

X in the steel area shows it’s closing in on its 2003 low.

I’ve been positing this long term chart for FCX since the second right shoulder was building out on the unbalanced H&S top.

fcx mot

The last chart for tonight will be a long term monthly chart for gold which formed a bearish expanding rising wedge formation as its bull market. We still have another week of trading yet but you can see the last bar on this chart is currently making an ever so slightly new low for this bear market.

What these charts suggest to me is that there is still plenty of room to move lower in the commodities complex before we see a significant turn around. Nothing goes straight up or down but as many of the charts above show most have massive topping patterns followed by downside breakouts that are in some cases just getting started. Going forward is going to be interesting to say the least. All the best…Rambus

Wednesday Report…The Chartology of Deflation

Tonight I would like to update some of the charts on the possible inflection point we looked at about three weeks or so ago. That possible inflection point is still gaining momentum to the downside as the deflationary environment still looks good to go. No market goes straight up or down so one needs to expect some turbulence along the way.

In order for the deflationary theme to play out we will need to see a strong US dollar which will affect the commodities complex and other important currencies of the world. Below is a closeup view for the US dollar that now shows the bullish falling wedge in breakout mode with one backtest to the top rail so far.

us dollar day 1

The long term daily chart for the US dollar shows its last impulse move that began in the summer of 2014 and ended in March of this year. You can see the smaller red consolidation patterns that formed during that huge impulse move up. The big blue bullish falling wedge I’m looking at as a halfway pattern separating the first  impulse move up from the second impulse move up.

us dollar day 2

If the US dollar can close the month of November on a strong note and complete a big white candle that would be a very good step in the right direction.

us dollar candle

This last chart for the US dollar is another very long term monthly chart that puts the blue bullish falling wedge in perspective as it’s now showing a breakout, something we didn’t have on the first inflection point report.

US DOLLAR MONGHTLY VERYLON

This next chart is a combo chart that I believe I only showed you once before back in 2014. This combo chart has the $USD:$XJY ratio on top and gold on the bottom. What this chart tells us is that when the US dollar is out performing the $XJY gold is generally weak. As you can see the ratio chart on top is just now hitting a brand new high while gold on the bottom is almost hitting a new low for its bear market on a monthly closing basis. The two red arrows shows where the ratio chart and gold came together in 2011 which was the start of the bear market for gold.

#dxj to gold

Next lets look at a daily chart for the $XEU which is the biggest component in the US dollar and how the euro goes the US dollar should show an inverse look. If the US dollar is breaking out of a consolidation pattern to the upside then the euro is most likely breaking down from a similar pattern.

XEU DAY

The long term monthly chart for the euro shows it breaking down from the blue bear flag that is sitting right on a possible mid line of a big downtrend channel. As you can see there are no touches on the bottom black rail. Many times a channel like this will double if the bottom rail is broken.

xeu monthly 1

There is another long term monthly chart for the euro which shows a totally different topping pattern but is just as valid as the one above. We’ve looked at this massive H&S topping pattern in the past as one of the possibilities for a weak euro and strong US dollar. As you can see the price objective for that massive H&S top is all the way down to the 2001 low around the 82 area.

xeuo month h&s top

Lets now focus out attention on a couple of commodities indexes as they have been working their way lower since the last time we looked at them. The daily chart for the $CRB index shows it built out the blue bearish rising wedge complete with a breakout and backtest.

crb index day 1

The next chart for the $CRB index is a weekly chart that has some really nice Chartology on it. Recently I just showed you the last couple of years or so but last week I started to look at the history and every time I went back a year all the old annotations came to life. For those folks that like to study measured moves and look at halfway patterns this chart has it all.

crb weekly

This first monthly chart we looked at a month or so ago but nothing positive has happened for the $CRB index. Just the contrary. It has been getting weaker and is building out another black candlestick and is trading at multi year lows.

crb monthly h&s top

You may remember this 60 year quarterly chart for the CRB index that is now trading at the low end of the brown shaded support and resistance zone. If the brown shaded S&R zone fails to hold there is little in the way of support until the 1970’s low comes into focus. It’s possible we could see a dramatic fall in this index leading the deflationary scenario.

crb monthly 60

Another commodities index I follow is the DBC commodities tracking index that has also broken down from a blue bearish rising wedge with clean breakout and backtest.

dbc day 1

The monthly chart for the DBC index shows it formed a red rectangle just below the 2008 crash low trendline and is continuing to make new all time lows.

dbc monthly

The long term daily chart for another commodities index I follow shows how entrenched it’s in its bear market recently breaking out of the red bearish rising wedge.

GNX DAY

Lets look at one last commodities index the $GYX, industrial metals index, which topped out in 2011 along with just about every other commodity and then formed a four and a half bearish falling channel. This week it’s attempting to break below the bottom rail of the red rectangle that is forming just below the bottom rail of the falling channel.

GYX DAY

Next lets look at the most important commodity on the planet, oil. Since its big impulse move down from last year the $WTIC has been chopping out a  potential bearish falling wedge, that like the US dollar, I would view as a halfway pattern to the downside. As you can see it’s working on its all important fourth reversal point.

oil day 1

There is another possible consolidation pattern for oil and that is the H&S consolidation pattern. You can see the height for the right shoulder is in line with the neckline symmetry line. The breakout from the blue rising wedge was accompanied by the backtest which may also be the right shoulder for the much smaller H&S pattern that is forming the right shoulder. Oil closed today right on the small neckline. One step at a time. If the small H&S neckline gives way then we’ll look for a test of the much bigger H&S neckline. If either pattern, the bearish falling wedge or H&S consolidation pattern completes, it will have a negative impact for oil.

oil 2

The long term look at oil shows where the real danger lies. Below is a 20 year daily chart for oil which shows its parabolic rise back in 2007 and its even steeper decline into the 2009 crash low. This chart shows you how the potential bearish falling wedge fits into the big picture as shown on the right hand side of the chart.

oil day 3

This next chart for oil is the history chart which goes all the way back to the early 1980’s. For over 20 years oil traded between ten on the bottom and 40 or so on the top. Then in 2004 oil finally broke out above that 20 year resistance zone and all that pent up energy was released and oil went on a parabolic run to $147. As you can see oil actually came down faster than it went up and found support right where you would have expected it to show up, the top of the 20 year trading range at 40 or so.  Note how the blue falling wedge is forming right on that very important brown shaded S&R zone at 40.

oil history

The last chart for oil is the log scale history chart which shows the 20 year lower channel actually doubled in size when the price action broke above the 40 area. It actually was a massive double bottom. You can compare this chart to the long term quarterly chart of the CRB index I showed you earlier.  There is a striking resemblance of what is possible.

oil histor y log

I know it’s getting late but there is one more important commodity I need to show you to complete the big picture. Below is a weekly chart for copper which is breaking down from a small red triangle this week. That small red triangle is forming just below a very large neckline which is usually a bearish setup.

copper weekkly 1

The 20 year monthly chart for copper shows a massive H&S topping pattern with the head being the seven point blue triangle reversal pattern. Like oil and the CRB index there really isn’t much in the way of support below the neckline which copper has already broken below and backtested. This is a good area to see some nice reverse symmetry to the downside.

copper 20 7ear mont

This last chart for tonight is the very long term quarterly chart for copper which shows it formed a 24 year triangle that broke to the upside in 2005 and reached it percentage move at 3.81 or so. At this point the 1.47 area looks like the first place to look for some important support to show up. Note the blue bullish rising wedge that formed right at the top of the big triangle just before it broke out and ran to its all time highs. Is oil’s falling wedge, I showed you earlier, setting up a similar situation but only in reverse.

So the inflection point continues to take hold with most of the important commodities now breaking down out of some very large chart patterns. This also includes the precious metals complex as well. We have the big picture to follow that is so important in understanding what maybe lying just ahead of us. All the best…Rambus

PS: Below is a long term monthly chart for gold which is showing it’s testing a very important neckline symmetry rail right now.

Late Friday Night Fright Charts…BOO !

Looking at the three month chart for the HUI you can see the internal structure of the blue expanding triangle that is still building out. What’s most important right now is the potential fourth reversal point is playing out as I had hoped it would. The HUI made five attempts to breakout above the top of the trading range around the 140 area but couldn’t succeed. The next area of support will be the neckline or the top rail of the 5 point rectangle reversal pattern at 117.70, red numbers. Expanding patterns are some of the hardest patterns to figure out as the price action becomes more volatile with each swing. So far no backtest to the double top trendline which would be at 129.15. The bottom line is that it’s nice to see a reversal pattern at the fourth reversal point.

hui 2 hour

An expanding triangle is how a Diamond pattern begins forming. Below is a 2 hour chart which shows the potential Diamond pattern as the possible consolidation pattern. The fourth reversal point now stands out as a double top reversal pattern. Note the smaller reversal patterns that formed within the five month blue triangle consolidation pattern. The price action shows how the HUI broke below the bottom rail of the blue triangle, red circle. The bulls had just enough energy to pop up off the bottom rail one last time backtesting the neckline before finally breaking out with a breakout gap. We got confirmation with the backtest. This price action is called the pop and drop.

HUI PPOP AND DROP

The 2 1/2 year daily chart below shows the HUI’s two previous consolidation patterns. Is our possible current fourth reversal point the start of the next impulse move down which will take the HUI down to new bear market lows? This is how they start. Also note the longer term indicators have crossed to the downside, red circles.

hui tree patterns

The weekly chart for the HUI shows it hit the inside solid top rail of the double downtrend channel this week and reversed sharply to the downside to close the week just a penny of above the low.

hui downtrend hannel

The important moving averages for the daily gold chart below shows the red 300 day ma held resistance this week.

gold ma

The daily chart for gold shows the potential bear flag that maybe forming. After being strongly tested the brown shaded support and resistance zone has held resistance with today’s price action closing on the black dashed down slopping trendline which was the top rail of the old triangle. The first positive would be to see gold close below that old dashed trendline and then break below the bottom rail of the potential bear flag. One step at a time.

gold bear flag

Just like the HUI gold hit the top rail of its major parallel downtrend channel this week also. The two small red consolidation patterns strongly suggest the 1180 area is an important area of resistance. Normally the price action will cut cleanly between the two patterns but gold has been a little sloppy in this respect.

gold downtrend chanel

The long term weekly chart for gold shows the two potential consolidation patterns that I view as a halfway pattern to the downside. The bottom rail of the sloppy triangle is irrelevant if we use the impulse method, blue arrows, that measures a price objective down to  855. I still haven’t given up on the bearish falling wedge as the halfway pattern. Depending on exactly where gold breaks below the bottom solid rail the breakout to breakout method gives us a price objective down to 845.

godld aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa

Another long term weekly chart for gold shows the reverse symmetry taking place. What happened on the left side of the chart has a direct impact on the right side of the chart as shown by the neckline extension and support and resistance lines. The blue circle shows the previous H&S consolidation pattern with the potential red bear flag forming between reverse symmetry lines #1 an #2.

gold reverse symmetry

The very long term monthly chart for gold shows it created an expanding rising wedge as its bull market. The breakout and backtest to the bottom black rail created the right shoulder. The H&S consolidation pattern that formed during the 2008 crash is responsible for the neckline and the height for the left and right shoulder on our current possible massive H&S top. Note how the 2008 H&S neckline extended all the way to the right hand side of the chart, neckline extension rail, is also the neckline of the massive H&S top.

Sir Fullgoldcrown accidentally posted this daily 5 point bearish rising wedge reversal pattern on the main site by mistake a couple of days ago. As this is a reversal pattern the uptrend that has been in place since the August is now over.

silvwwe day 1

I’ve been showing this weekly chart for silver which shows the reverse symmetry H&S patterns on each side of the chart. Silver has been strongly backtesting the neckline on the right hand side of the chart for the last month or so at 15.85. It’s been a tough fight but it looks the bears may now be back in charge as silver closed below the neckline this week.

silver weekkly nl 15.85

Just like the HUI and gold, silver also has a parallel downtrend channel. You can see how critical this backtest is to the neckline on the right side of the chart. This is about as low a risk entry point that you can get to short silver at 15.85.

silver weekly donwtrend channel

Earlier I showed you gold’s massive H&S top with the 2008 H&S neckline extension rail creating the neckline for gold’s massive H&S top. It shouldn’t be surprising that silver is also showing a similar massive H&S top. Just like gold the height for the massive H&S top’s left and right shoulders is taken from the angle of the neckline, neckline symmetry rail. Have a great weekend. All the best…Rambus

Wednesday Report…The Chartology of The Currency Wars …What If !

It finally looks like a major inflection point is getting very close to resolving itself in many different areas of the markets. The US dollar is the key driver of this inflection point which is starting to breakout from a nearly eight month bullish falling wedge consolidation pattern. This afternoon the US dollar began a strong rally that is somewhat unusual during the afternoon hours unless it is Fed Day  where anything goes . The daily chart below now shows today’s bar clearly above the top rail of the bullish falling wedge. It’s still possible that we could see a backtest to the top rail at 97.12 before the next impulse move up begins in earnest.

There are some positive developments in regards to the US dollar on the daily chart below. First there are four completed reversal points in the blue bullish falling wedge. This eight month consolidation pattern corrected 38% of the first big impulse leg up as shown by the red arrows. The 20 day ema has just recently crossed above the 50 day ema giving a buy signal. The US dollar is now trading well above its 200 dma which shows the long term nature of this bull market.

The daily line chart for the US dollar shows some nice Chartology which shows the breakout of the top rail of the black triangle consolidation complete with a small backtest. The breakout also took out the neckline extension rail which had been holding resistance.

US DOLLAR DAY LINE

The weekly chart shows the nice big bullish falling wedge which I’m looking at as a halfway pattern to the upside.

UD DOLLAR WEEEK1

The next chart is a long term combo chart with the US dollar on top and gold on the bottom. The next area of possible resistance could be the 108.60 area which was the high made back in 2002 if the reverse symmetry keeps playing out. Gold has been finding resistance at the S&R line around the 1180 area.

The next long term 30 year monthly chart for the US dollar shows the two fractal bases, big base #1 and big base #2. Big base #1 had enough energy to send the US dollar all the way up to the 120 area before it topped out.

Below is the 40 year chart for the dollar which shows the massive bullish falling wedge which broke out eight months ago. The top rail has held support like a rock during the backtesting process. This is only speculation on my part right now but the price objective of a rising or falling wedge is usually the first reversal point within the wedge itself. Here you can see the first reversal point occurred back in 1985 around the 165 area. Only time will tell us what lies ahead for the US dollar.

Lets look at one last chart for the US dollar which is the monthly candlestick chart. If the dollar can close out the month on a strong note it will have completed its second white candlestick which will help confirm a possible new impulse move is just beginning.

Next lets look at the daily chart for the euro which makes up the biggest chunk of the US dollar. Generally the euro and the US dollar will have similar chart patterns that tend to breakout at the same time. The daily chart below shows the euro breaking down below the bottom rail of the black bear flag in sync with the US dollars breakout of its bullish falling wedge.

euro day risng bear flag

The very long term monthly chart below shows how the euro may  play out if the red bear flag works out as a halfway pattern in concert with the US dollar’s bullish falling wedge which I showed you earlier on the charts above. As you can see the euro has been in a confined downtrend channel since 2008. I’ve seen many cases when a confined channel breaks there can be an equal channel that forms below it, in this case. If that were to happen the bottom rail of the lower channel would come at the all time lows made back in 2000 at 82.15 or so as shown by the black rectangles used as measuring sticks.

Below is another long term look at the euro which shows a double H&S top in place with the red bear flag being the right shoulder of neckline #2. This massive H&S top has a price objective down to the 84.90 area which is pretty close to its all time low.

euro H&S top

The yen is also an important component of the US dollar. This long term weekly chart shows its massive H&S top we’ve been following very closely since the first red triangle formed inside of the blue bearish falling wedge which created the right shoulder. Since that breakout move from the massive H&S top the yen has been building out the red expanding flat top triangle as its next consolidation pattern.

YEN WEEKLY

The weekly chart for the $XSF shows it has formed a H&S consolidation pattern just below the bottom rail of the blue bear flag. As you can see the Swiss Franc has broken below its neckline this week.

XSF WEEKLY

The weekly chart for the $CAD shows it to has a massive H&S top and is currently trading below its 2009 low after breaking down from a small H&S consolidation pattern.

cad

Below is another way to look at the $CAD which shows a huge double top. The price action has broken down below the double bottom trendline and has just recently backtested it from below at .78.

This next chart I have not shown in awhile in which I overlaid gold on top of the $XEU. They tend to move together, in general, so if the $XEU is getting ready to move lower then gold should follow along for the ride, in general.

XEU OF GOLD

This last chart for the currencies is a weekly line chart I have not shown in some time but it’s now more relevant than ever. This is a comparison chart in which I overlaid gold on top of the US dollar. As you can the US dollar is breaking out from the blue triangle while gold is hitting resistance at the down slopping arrow. For years I’ve been waiting for these two to finally crossover each other similar to what they did in 2006 but only in the opposite direction.

Before I finish the Wednesday Report I would like to show you a couple of commodities indexes that really took it on the chin the last time the US dollar broke out to the upside. The CRB index broke out of a blue bearish rising wedge last Friday and is attempting to backtest the bottom rail from below. This is a critical backtest taking place right here and now.

crb day 1

After breaking down from the black triangle reversal pattern the CRB index has been creating one consolidation pattern below the next. You can see how our current bearish rising wedge fits into the bigger picture. Once the backtesting process is finished I expect to see a similar move between the Diamond consolidation pattern and our current bearish rising wedge.

crb bearish rising wedge

The further we go out in time the more interesting the price action looks. Below is a monthly chart for the CRB index which shows it has reached its H&S price objective at 205. Keep in mind this is a minimum price objective. Note how the price action is trading below the brown shaded S&R zone. This can’t be good if the US dollar is getting ready to breakout to the upside.

crb h7s top

Since I’m running out of time I would like to show you one last chart for the CRB index which I’ve only shown you one time before. Keep in mind when you look at this 60 year chart all the long term currencies charts we looked at above like the euro which shows it has a long ways to fall to reach its price objectives. This is one of those WHAT IF charts. What if the CRB index breaks below the brown shade support and resistance zone? Notice the near vertical move up in the early 1970’s. If the CRB breaks below the brown shaded S&R zone there is not much in the way of support until the all time low is hit under 100 or so. This would be an ideal place to see some reverse symmetry to the downside as show by the red arrows.

These charts above shows you we are really at a very important inflection point that hopefully is getting ready to resolve its self very soon. All the best…Rambus

GDM Update…

GDM has finally broken below the unbalanced H&S top or double top. It’s not important what you call the price action above the neckline it’s the neckline itself that is most important with the many touches on it.

AA GD,

Weekend Report…US Stock Bull Snorting

I have some free time tonight and the better part of the day tomorrow to post a few charts before I have to catch my flight home on Tuesday. I just want to thank you again for you patience.

Lets take a quick look at the daily INDU chart I posted on Wednesday that now shows the breakout of the rounding top trendline. So far so good.

indu dy rounding

Below is another daily chart which shows the horizontal support and resistance lines. Currently the 17,600 S&R line may act as short term resistance to allow the INDU to catch its breath before moving higher. As you can see there was a breakout of a small red bullish rising wedge which took out the top rail to the upside last Thursday. That little red bullish rising wedge formed just below the rounding top trendline we looked at on the chart above which is also bullish. Friday’s price action gapped above the 200 dma also. We had a bullish cross of the 20 ema and 50 ema last week as well. There is a lot of positive price action on this chart below.

dow day red

The weekly chart for the INDU shows the 2009 uptrend channel we looked at when it was testing the bottom rail during the August low. This chart is one of the reasons I’ve remained bullish during this correction, above the bottom trendline is bullish and below is bearish. Outside of the August low this uptrend channel really shows a beautiful bull market.

indu wekly

Another big reason I’ve remained bullish on the stock markets is the monthly chart for the INDU, The Jaws of Life, chart. I know alot of folks have given up on this massive consolidation pattern but until the INDU closes below that very important top trendline, on a monthly closing basis, I have to respect the potential of this consolidation pattern.The top rail was strongly backtested during the August low but it held support again. Depending on what the INDU does this next week it could be one of the biggest monthly gains since the bull market began in 2009.

jaws of live

As you know I’ve been showing you a lot of very long term monthly charts for many individual stocks that are also showing massive consolidation patterns. Below is the $BTK, biotechnology index, which shows you a perfect example of what this pattern looks like. The $BTK built out a massive 9 year flat top or ascending triangle which broke to the upside in late 2009 when everything else was bottoming. The 2009 low, which was the fourth reversal point, hardly shows up on this chart which shows us its relative strong performance vs most of different sectors in the stock markets at that time. The blue arrows measures the price objective using the blue triangle as a halfway pattern. As you can see that price objective has been met at 4356. Since the price objective has been met this tells us the $BTK may now under preform some of the weaker areas of the markets as money rotates into some of the lagging sectors.

btk monthy

Below is a long term quarterly chart that compares the $NDX to the $BTK going back 30 years or so. They both topped out together in 2000 and bottomed together in 2002 which is what you would expect. Now lets focus in on the rally out of the 2009 crash low. This is the point where the biotech stocks really started to outperform the big tech stocks. As you can see the $BTK broke to new all time highs in 2009 while the $NDX was just bouncing off of its bottom. Since that point they both have been in a strong bull market but the big difference is that the $NDX is now just reaching its all time highs. This is an old chart but the red circle now shows the $NDX is trading into new all time highs using a quarterly line chart. Again I expect both of these sectors to rise but this time the $NDX, big cap tech stocks, will out perform the biotech stocks on a relative basis. I believe the bull market will continue higher as capital rotates into the under performing sectors like the semiconductors and networking stocks. Other under performing sectors should also benefit from this move. This is how a bull market lives on. At some point the bull will die but not before most of the different sectors have their own individual bull market.

Looking at a weekly chart for the $NWX, networking index, it’s shows the price action breaking out of a bullish expanding falling wedge last week.

nwk weekly

The monthly chart for the $NWX shows a very bullish setup. Note the 2 blue bullish expanding falling wedges that formed on the weekly chart above. What makes the setup so bullish is that one of the bullish expanding falling wedges formed below the massive 12 year H&S bottom neckline and the other is forming above that massive neckline. With that massive base completing we could very well see some reverse symmetry to the upside as shown by the red arrows. Above the neckline at 345 is bullish and below is bearish which marks a great line in the sand.

nwx monthly

The long term monthly chart for the $SOX, semiconductor index, shows it broke out of a massive black 10 year bullish falling wedge in late 2010 or so. Note the blue triangle that formed right on the top rail of that 10 year black bullish falling wedge which was a bullish setup. The current support and resistance line comes in at 545 which was the top rail of the blue 5 point triangle reversal pattern that formed between 2004 and 2007. This chart shows some nice Chartology with the different technical formation. The two blue triangles shows a nice clean breakout with an equally clean backtest. Once the $SOX broke above the black dashed S&R line at 545 it has held support twice now. I know many are looking at the current price action as a possible H&S top but the individual stocks that make up this index don’t show a bearish setup.

sox mony

The long term monthly chart for INTC shows its massive double headed 14 year H&S consolidation pattern. Note the little red bullish expanding falling wedge that has formed right on top of the neckline which is a bullish setup.

INTC

I’ve been showing you this monthly chart for Mr. Softy for several years now. It built out a beautiful 12 year blue bullish falling wedge. Note the two small red consolidation patterns that formed one below the top rail and one above the top rail of the bullish falling wedge. Last week MSFT broke out of a blue rectangle consolidation pattern to the upside.

MSFT MONTHLY

This weekly chart for MSFT shows all the consolidation patterns that have formed since its 2009 crash low including the breakout of the blue rectangle consolidation pattern last week.

I have many more charts to show you in regards to the massive consolidation patterns that have shown up on a lot of the old glory day tech stocks. Is history going to repeat again? Stay tuned. All the best…Rambus
