6 Dec 2011

 Dow exhibiting quite a divergence from my medium term indicator.
 Overbought in short term..still. 
 Gold approaching the end of my triangle.  Which way?
Silver approaching the end of its triangle.  Which way?  Both rallied back off lows pretty hard today when people got the rumor that more debt would be brought into existence in order to pay off old debts.  When will people realize that this methodology is the end game?

3 Dec 2011

 I'm a little confused.  Normally the bottoming of my short term indicator is pretty coincident with the turning points in the McClellan Summation Index.  However, this time the Summation index has not yet turned despite quite a strong rally in both my short and medium term indicators.  I like when they all travel together.
 Medium term back at 50%
Short term overbought at around 80%.  This should not be news to you.
Silver is at an important resistance negative trendline.  Not the most important one (that one is less steep - ends around 35 in this picture).  Remember, I said silver could reasonably go to around 24 before gaining some traction.  We'll see.


Have a good weekend.

1 Dec 2011

 Gold forming a triangle with its steeper line.  If it were to break down out of this triangle, first target would be 140 (1400) - this is also a 38% retracement line of the move from 08 bottom to the 11 top.  I know this defies reason considering the lowering of swap rates and other inflationary tactics, but whatever.
 Long term hold short seems to have found a temporary higher bottom than during the summer.
 McClellan Summation index has some room in price, TSV, and Stochastics to the upside in the shortest term.  I know this is unbelievable.  I also marked the beginning of previous Decembers, which as you can see were all up for the last four years.  I have fought seasonality before and lost.  I probably will not fight it this year, but I need to see how this indicator breaks over the next few days.
Medium term development still positive.  Shocking, I know.
Short term overbought.  We will have to see how violent correcting this gets to get an idea of what happens next.

Things are not good.  But to trade, you must know rationale and reason in order to take the opposite position.  I will not buy until my short term indicator works off its overbought condition and forms a firm bottom.
