In the Headlights
With a third consecutive large gap higher on the indices, the market is doing its best to humble the boldly bearish proclamations we heard last week of imminent global doom. Still, not much technical evidence is present to suggest this is anything more than a relief rally in an ongoing downtrend. I see plenty of beaten-down, left-for-dead...

You're Yellow, See
I see Goldman Sachs is out with a call to short gold here. As always, the yellow metal remains a controversial topic in trading and investing community. With plenty of major gold miners reporting earnings this week, I am inclined to wait until after their various price reactions before reentering the complex--We sold a SLW long on Friday to...

It's Like a Mild Day in the Dead of Winter
When rallies occur in the context of established downtrends, as defined by declining 200-day moving averages above price on the major stock indices, it is always interesting to see the various emotions which are associated with the green. Trapped longs, from higher prices, can breath a temporary sigh or relief (hence the phrase "relief rally"),...

Hide-and-Go-Seek a Gap-Fill
Despite crude oil giving up its mornings gains for a complete gap-fill, and then some, on the USO ETF, equities have not followed suit. Even with troubled banks like CS DB gapping down, stocks are holding firm after the first hour of trading. I suspect the fade-the-open after a long weekend was a bit too obvious to come to fruition. However,...

Sunday Matinée at Market Chess Cinemas
Regardless of your political affiliations, one thing is certain: As we move throughout this year politics will become increasingly prominent on the national stage headed into the November 2016 general election. With this in mind, an excellent documentary/biography to watch is Boogie Man: The Lee Atwater Story (2008). Viewers from all...

Ketchup to Those Miners
One of my many important concepts we have been discussing for Members on a daily basis regarding the recent surge in precious metals and their miners of late is whether we see some of the not-yet-extended miners begin to play catch -up. Royal Gold is one such example, below on the daily timeframe and not over its 200-day moving average (like...

Big Hammers and Big Volume
Although today may largely prove to be a fairly low volume bounce in the market, the story this week could easily be the heavy volume we have seen in the likes of crude oil, gold and precious metals miners, and headliner Deutsche Bank. As an example, consider the DB weekly chart, below, and massive volume this week as the stock reverses...

From Hero to SLoB
There can be no doubt that energy stocks, despite not making new lows (for OIH, XLE) on this latest downdraft in the market, still have plenty of work to do to cement anything remotely close to a durable bottom. Nonetheless, the resilience in heavyweights like XOM should not be dismissed by bears. Beyond that, another heavy weighting in both...
