Careful with That Silver Spoon

The close in the silver ETF today, pictured below on the daily timeframe, should be a big one as the precious metal gaps up to both its declining 200-day moving average as well as above its upper Bollinger Band to overbought conditions. As you can see, silver has confirmed an inverse head and shoulders temporary bottom. But the key is now...

Follow the Sky Down

Lost in the shuffle of the biotech carnage, again, today, is momentum darling semiconductor SWKS getting whacked again. With this in mind, an earlier idea from this morning inside Market Chess Subscription Services was to short another darling in the sector, NXPI. On the daily chart, below, note the NXPI setup as price remains below all major...

Shedding Light on the Same Dynamic

An opening bounce in equities still features a lagging AAPL, biotech, and healthcare sector, just as yesterday's session did. Many commodities are also pushing higher yet, as even a few softs like corn and wheat are getting into the mix, following sugar's lead.

Back to the Roaring Twenties

The rally in the gold miners is continuing today, even with the gold metal ETF slightly red. Silver is performing admirably, while the senior gold miners in the GDX ETF outperform the juniors in the GDXJ. With this in mind, it is worth keying off the juniors into the final two hours of the trading. On the GDXJ 30-minute timeframe, below, note...

Sector Foliage

Just in time for "fall foliage" is a sector rotation today, with large cap biotechs clearly lagging, as is AAPL, while energy/materials stage a counter-trend rally from depressed conditions. At issue, of course, is the sustainability of the move. But, for now, it is sufficient to buoy a further rally stemming from the broad market reversal...

Climbing Up the Corrective Stairs

As it stands now, there is little concrete evidence of a major bottom in equities being put into place. While that may seem anti-climactic, the reality is that the same discipline which enables you to avoid a swoon like we saw in August also compels you to wait out a potential bottoming process, as it is likely to take time and much...

Sunday Matinée at Market Chess Cinemas

Netflix’s first venture into original programming began with the Norwegian drama/comedy series "Lilyhammer" back in 2012. The show ran for three seasons, until it was announced this summer it would not renew due to behind-the-scenes issues. But, make no mistake, the series is top notch, essentially serving as the "Better Call Saul" spinoff...
