Market Whack-A-Mole
On a daily basis, it seems as though equities, even more than usual, are playing a game of whack-a-mole with various issues around the world. On some days, the Japanese Yen comes to the forefront; Others, it is China or the EU. Today, crude oil strength look to be helping bulls sustain an opening gap higher. In addition, copper is gapping up...

Sunday Matinée at Market Chess Cinemas
Available on Netflix, The Heavy Water War (original title Kampen om tungtvannet and alternative title The Saboteurs (UK)) is a six-episode TV miniseries produced by the Norwegian Broadcasting Corporation. Thus far, I like what I see. And I believe it is well worth the viewing for the interesting tidbit of historical tensions between Norway...

A Benign Grind of a Day...Or is It?
The action for much of today smack of a resilient yet grinding market, in light of the bouncing earlier in the week. The VIX has been steadily weak all day, despite red crude and a green Yen, which is not making life easy for shorts pressing for an imminent market rollover. However, the VXX, VIX ETF, below on the daily chart, spiked up just...

The Overbought in a Downtrend Setup
Chipotle Mexican Grill represents the type of setup which "should" work on the short side again, as it is overbought (upper Bollinger Band) in a clear, ongoing downtrend (declining longer-term moving averages). Still, if the setup is too easy for bears, as it may have been this morning with the indices, then perhaps it will simply continue to...

Docked at This Level
Opening weakness in equites has largely abated through mid-morning, as bulls defended the 20-day simple moving averages across the major index charts. On the QQQ, below, for example, the ETF of the Nasdaq-100 stocks shows a reversal to green off a red open right at the orange line, which is the 20-day moving average. It is unlikely that bears...

Time to Revisit Some Basic Philosophy of Gold
There is no denying the persistent strength in "the color," with the miners shaking off some earnings misses today ad mostly up nicely. GFI, a laggard, is coming back here and on track to close over its 20-day moving average, despite a huge gap down. We are taking things one step at a time, but the action is improving noticeably in the...

Afternoon Battle Plans
Bears had a chance to really wreak havoc on the market with a thrust lower at about 11am EST this morning. However, buyers stepped in for damage control, and we are grinding through the New York lunch hour as we speak. On the intraday chart of the SPY, ETF for the S&P 500 Index, below, we are keying off the $192.50 level as being a significant...

Escape the Perceived Food Chain
After a slew of earnings reports this week by precious metals miners, most are holding up fairly well. GFI gapped down over 13%, but the likes of ABX flipped red-to-green this morning, seen below on the daily chart flagging well over a confirmed inverse head and shoulders bottom. In light of getting pounded to one new low after the next since...
