Hello fellow traders everywhere! Adam Hewison here, co-founder of MarketClub with your mid-day market update for Tuesday, the 24th of January.
Has The Gold Cycle Topped Out?
Today we look at gold and see what our Trade Triangle signals are saying after today's sharp drop in the yellow metal.
We put these 3 stocks on our radar today:
WATERS CORP (WAT), COACH INC (COH), and QUEST DIAGNOSTICS INC (DGX),
Major Trade Triangle signals on these three stocks.
Always remember …
DON'T FIGHT THE MARKET … MOVE WITH THE MARKET
Now, let's go to the charts and MarketClub's Trade Triangle Technology.

S&P 500 INDEX
BIG PICTURE: Emerging Trend +75
TRADE TRIANGLES: Long-Term = Bullish | Intermediate Term = Bullish | Short-Term = Bearish
MARKETCLUB SCORING SYSTEM: 50 – 65 Trading Range | 70 – 80 Emerging Trend | 85 – 100 Strong Trend
For the past four days, the S&P 500 has been moving sideways and consolidating its recent gains. We continue to expect to see this market consolidate over the $1300 level. We now have an upside target in the next two or three months between $1370 and $1400 for this index. That is not to say it will be straight up from here, we would expect to see pullbacks like today and for the $1300 level to act as support. With two of our Trade Triangles green, a bull market is underway. Long and Intermediate term traders should now be holding long positions in this index with appropriate money management stops.

SILVER (SPOT)
BIG PICTURE: Emerging Trend +70
TRADE TRIANGLES: Long-Term = Bearish | Intermediate Term = Bullish | Short-Term = Bullish
MARKETCLUB SCORING SYSTEM: 50 – 65 Trading Range | 70 – 80 Emerging Trend | 85 – 100 Strong Trend
We think this market is at the top of a trading range cycle, but it has not provided conclusive proof that the cycle has indeed topped out. With our long-term monthly Trade Triangle red, we expect to see this market run out of steam around current levels. A Chart Analysis Score for silver of +70 indicates an emerging trend. Only our long-term monthly Trade Triangle remains negative on silver. This particular indicator has done extremely well in the past. Long-term term traders should be in short positions in silver with appropriate money management stops. Intermediate term traders should be on the sidelines.

GOLD (SPOT)
BIG PICTURE: Emerging Trend +70
TRADE TRIANGLES: Long-Term = Bearish | Intermediate Term = Bullish | Short-Term = Bullish
MARKETCLUB SCORING SYSTEM: 50 – 65 Trading Range | 70 – 80 Emerging Trend | 85 – 100 Strong Trend
Like silver, we believe that gold is at the top of a trading cycle similar to what happened last year in September and November. We are reluctant to chase gold at these current levels. That factor along with our negative monthly Trade Triangle, continue to act as an inhibitor for this market on the upside. With a Chart Analysis Score of +70, this market is in an emerging trend. Long-term term traders should be in short positions in gold with appropriate money management stops. Intermediate term traders should be on the sidelines.

COPPER (MARCH)
BIG PICTURE: Strong Trend +85
TRADE TRIANGLES: Long-Term = Bullish | Intermediate Term = Bullish | Short-Term = Bearish
MARKETCLUB SCORING SYSTEM: 50 – 65 Trading Range | 70 – 80 Emerging Trend | 85 – 100 Strong Trend
With two of our three Trade Triangles green, we expect to see this market continue to improve in the weeks and months ahead. As we have said in the past, copper generally reflects economic conditions, and as such is influenced by equity prices. Look for support at the $3.70 level. The market action looks as though it has created a large base to move higher in the future. Upside target zone for copper is $4.00. With a Score of +85, we are in an strong trend for this commodity. Long and Intermediate term traders should now be holding long positions in this index with appropriate money management stops.

CRUDE OIL (MARCH)
BIG PICTURE: Trading Range -60
TRADE TRIANGLES: Long-Term = Bullish | Intermediate Term = Bearish | Short-Term = Bearish
MARKETCLUB SCORING SYSTEM: 50 – 65 Trading Range | 70 – 80 Emerging Trend | 85 – 100 Strong Trend
With a Chart Analysis Score of -60 today, this market has moved into a trading range. We are longer term positive on this market, however it must move over resistance at $104 to get its upside momentum into high gear. With only our monthly Trade Triangle in a positive mode, we expect we will see further market consolidation in crude oil. Long-term traders should be long this market with appropriate money management stops.

TRADE TRIANGLES: Long-Term = Bullish | Intermediate Term = Bullish | Short-Term = Bearish
MARKETCLUB SCORING SYSTEM: 50 – 65 Trading Range | 70 – 80 Emerging Trend | 85 – 100 Strong Trend
Many traders will be watching a key area of support for this index today, around the lower levels of the Donchian trading channel. Our Trade Triangle technology remains long this index and remains in a bullish mode. Long and intermediate term traders should maintain long positions with the appropriate stops in place.

MARKETCLUB SCORING SYSTEM: 50 – 65 Trading Range | 70 – 80 Emerging Trend | 85 – 100 Strong Trend
For this market to get going on the upside, it must move and close over the $316 level. Our long term Trade Triangle remains negative for this index, while our intermediate signal is green and calling for higher prices. Long-term traders should hold short positions in this index with appropriate money management stops.
