Mind the Correlated Paths
Just as quickly as the U.S. Dollar's rally yesterday seems to throw a wet blanket on many commodities, today the greenback's weakness down below the highlighted bull flag (on the daily chart of the Dollar ETF) could easily be galvanizing buyers in those same commodities. Specifically, crude oil is near the highs of the session as I write this,...

Tough to Step in Front of This One
Semiconductors have been symbolic of this bull run on many fronts, not only refusing to permit a garden variety correction but consequently surging higher just when it appears the eventually breakdown is nigh. Recently, the spurt of big-time M&A activity added fuel the fire for some of the comically steep long-term trends, such as that of...

Set to Rise on Hot Air
After taking a shellacking in recent weeks, the airlines look set to stage that inevitable snapback rally. I suspect the likes of AAL DAL LUV UAL could easily drift higher in early-June, though I am not too intrigued by them on the long side given their broken charts on multi-month timeframes. Instead, I prefer to stalk the likes of HAS GIMO...

Looking More Black and White
After a strong open this morning, gold, silver, and the precious metals miners have faded most or all of those gains. I have been reticent to get involved in that complex of late, after trading it consistently in recent years for quick rallies and on casino downdraft in what is still a long, sloppy, sideways period of consolidation in...

You'll Want a Front Row Seat to This Summer Movie
The zoomed-out hourly chart of the IWM, ETF for the Russell 2000 small caps, offers good perspective on the current choppy market climate.

Until this pattern resolves itself, and it may very well do so imminently as price...

Add This One to the List
In a market full of divergences (which is not sufficient to declare a major top, but rather reinforces the scattered, choppy action as a whole), another one can be seen within the consumer staples sector. The storied Procter & Gamble is the top component in the XLP, consumer staple sector ETF. And PG is operating well below its declining...

Saturday Night at Market Chess Cinemas
Last Tango in Paris (1972) manages to avoid the pitfalls of what could have been a very cheap exploitation of a film centered around steamy sex and carnal lust. Written and directed by the great Bernardo Bertolucci, this one is remembered for Marlon Brando's ambitious performance and his ability to perfectly counter Maria Schneider's sultry...
