An Intraday Wave C Occurred Early On Today

Now HUI/NEM/HUI are doing an anemic EW 12345 intraday upcycle: http://finance.yahoo.com/q/ta?s=%5EXAU&t=5d&l=off&z=l&q=c&p=&a=m26-12-9,p12,fs,w14&c=

A monthly cycle high occurred on Wednesday 4-19 near the close for HUI/NEM/HUI. A great sign for the health of the major upcycle since 5-16-05 is that fear has spiked dramatically, which is an unusually large rise in fear that portends short term weakness for the next week or two, but is a major positive for the major upcycle. The XAU Put/Call Ratio (May expiration) is at an extremely high fear level = 1.67393 today and XAU Implied Volatility closed at 38.600 yesterday, which is a very high level of fear.

The XAU has downside gaps at 150.16 from 4-21, at 151.71 from 4-18, at 145.47 from 4-17, at 141.35 from 4-12, at 138.84 from 3-30, at 134.17 from 3-29, at Monday 3-27's open at 133.40 and one at 3-24's open at 130.03, and, NEM has downside gaps at 55.42 from 4-21, at 52.87 from 4-17, at 51.46 from 4-12, at 49.46 from 3-27, and at 49.24 from 3-24, some of which will get filled in this monthly downcycle.

The NEM Lead Indicator is a bullish +0.35% vs the XAU right now, was a bullish +0.40% vs the XAU on 4-21, was a bullish +0.96% vs the XAU on 4-20, was a bearish -0.70% vs the XAU on 4-19, was a bearish -0.48% vs the XAU on 4-18, after being a very bullish +1.76% vs the XAU on Monday. The COT data portends weakness this week since the gold Commercial Traders traded net short and the gold Speculators traded net long, both of which portend weakness this week. The gold Commercial Traders sold 174 long futures and options contracts and added 4251 short futures and options contracts which portends weakness this week (non contrarian indicator). The gold Speculators (hedge funds and other speculators/traders) added 3284 long futures and options contracts and covered 669 short futures and options contracts which portends weakness this week (contrarian indicator). There has been a lot of NEM sell interest at Thomson Lycos I Watch for well over a week: http://thomson.finance.lycos.com/lycos/iwatch/cgi-bin/iw_ticker?t=NEM&range=7&mgp=0&i=3&hdate=&x=11&y=11, the 3 month NEM Lead Indicator is extremely bearish: http://finance.yahoo.com/q/ta?s=%5EXAU&t=3m&l=on&z=m&q=l&p=&a=&c=%5Ehui,nem, and Williams %R for HUI/NEM/XAU was at an overbought extreme near 0 on Wednesday 4-19. 10-15% declines in HUI/NEM/XAU (from their monthly cycle highs) over the next week or two are likely. As the major upcycle nears an end (July maybe) it makes sense for the 3 month NEM Lead Indicator to turn extremely bearish. ....... http://www.JoeFRocks.com/
