S&P 500 INDEX

BIG PICTURE: Emerging Trend

Strength of Trend Score = +70

This market remains mired in a broad holiday trading range and will probably stay that way unless it closes over $1,300.  With two of our three Trade Triangles now green, it is signaling that intermediate term traders should now be out of this market.  Long-term traders should either be in cash or continue to hold short positions in this index with appropriate money management stops.

Monthly Trade Triangles for Long-Term Trends = Bearish
Weekly Trade Triangles for Intermediate Term Trends = Bullish
Daily Trade Triangles for Short-Term Trends = Bullish

SILVER (SPOT)

BIG PICTURE: Trading Range

Strength of Trend Score = -55

This market remains mired in a broad holiday trading and will probably stay that way for the week.  A close over $30 would put in an interim bottom.  The major trend is to the downside in both the weekly and monthly Trade Triangles. Only the daily Triangle is in a positive mode.  Long-term and intermediate term traders and short term traders should be in short positions in silver with appropriate money management stops.

Monthly Trade Triangles for Long-Term Trends = Bearish
Weekly Trade Triangles for Intermediate Term Trend = Bearish
Daily Trade Triangles for Short-Term Trends = Bullish

GOLD (SPOT)
————-
BIG PICTURE: Trading Range

Combined Strength of Trend Score = -55

This market remains mired in a trading range and will probably stay in that mode for the balance of the week.  With a Chart Analysis Score of -55, we expect this market to continue to be choppy but would not rule out a test of the $1620 level.  With our monthly Trade Triangle now in a negative position we are no longer bullish on this metal.  Intermediate term traders should be short this market for the moment, waiting for the next signal with the weekly Trade Triangle.

Monthly trade triangles for Long-term trends = Bearish
weekly trade triangles for intermediate term trends = Bearish
daily trade triangles for short-term trends = Bullish

COPPER (MARCH)
————-
BIG PICTURE: Emerging Trend

Strength of Trend Score = +70

With a Chart Analysis Score of +70, this market is in an emerging trend mode and quite choppy.  As stated numerous times, copper generally reflects economic conditions, and as such is influenced by equity prices.  With equity prices moving higher today, it is in return reflected in higher copper prices.  The major trend based on our monthly Trade Triangle continues to be negative.  Long-term traders should continue to hold short positions in copper with appropriate money management stops.  Intermediate term traders should now be on the sidelines.

Monthly Trade Triangles for Long-Term Trends = Bearish
Weekly Trade Triangles for Intermediate Term Trends = Bullish
Daily Trade Triangles for Short-Term Trends = Bullish

3 thoughts on “Is Gold Finished? Is Crude Oil the new Gold standard?

  1. Is The FED and are ALL the other Central Banks FINISHED pumping printed money into their economies? NO? Well then the obvious answer is: NO, GOLD IS NOT FINISHED RISING IN PAPER CURRENCY PRICE!! Here is the data to draw an utterly simplistic two point chart for which you do not need Trade Triangles:

    Year 1939 Gold Price $20
    Year 2012 Gold Price $1620

    If you want to get fancy, you can use a compounding rate equation and calculate that $20, compounded yearly at 5.5% for 80 years, yields a Final Value of $1613.57.

    Have fun!!

  2. First, the sentiment towards commodities especially silver and gold remain immensely bullish (interpreted there is an excessive pessimism, similar to the bottom of 2008) and two, the S and P is not measured in dollars ($1,300,) but points. But keep trying.

  3. ETF's come with a health warning - some observers say that there are not the assets to back the paper up & tracking the correct price only works for the long term.

    I would not want to put too much money into them.
