Monthly Upcycle's Wave 4 Short Term Downcycle

The XAU filled it's upside gap at 143.19 from Friday early today. The Monthly Upcycle's Wave 4 Short Term Downcycle
began early Thursday. See
http://finance.yahoo.com/q/ta?s=%5Exau&t=5d&l=off&z=l&q=c&p=&a=m26-12-9%2Cp12%2Cfs%2Cw14&c= The major upcycle's (since 5-16-05) Wave 5 2% follow through minor intermediate term cycle buy signal occurred on Tuesday 3-14, so the major upcycle's (since 5-16-05) Wave 5 minor intermediate term upcycle began on 3-10-06 for HUI/NEM/XAU as did a shorter monthly upcycle.

The NEM Lead Indicator is a bearish -1.00% vs the XAU right now, and was a bearish -0.87% on Friday. The XAU has downside gaps 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 one at 51.49 from 3-30's open, at 49.46 from 3-27 and one at 49.24 from 3-24, some of which will get filled soon.

NEM's cycle low on Friday 3-10 at 46.60 was less than 1% below my Wave 4 cycle low target range of 47-49, while HUI's cycle low on Friday at 278.47 was well above my Wave 4 cycle low target range of 255-265, but the XAU's cycle low on Friday at 121.76 was near the top of my Wave 4 cycle low target range of 117-122. HUI's major upcycle (since 5-16-05) Wave 5, that should also be a Cyclical Bull Market cycle high for the first of three Cyclical Bull Markets (3 Elliot Wave upcycles and 2 downcycles/Cyclical Bear Markets) in this Secular gold/silver stock Bull Market that began in late 2000, should peak in the 400-450+ range.

XAU Implied Volatility rose +1.47% to 33.810 on Friday 3-31 from 33.320 on 3-30 versus a -1.10% decline in the XAU on 3-31, which is a modest (0.25-0.49%) +0.37% rise in fear (+1.47% + -1.10% = +0.37%. The XAU wall of worry grew by +0.37%, therefore fear rose by +0.37%) that portends strength/an uptrend during part of Monday 4-3's session. The XAU Put/Call Ratio (April Expiration) rose an unusually large (> 6%) +9.56% today to 0.92156 from 0.84112 on Friday that portends some weakness today because it's an unusually large rise in fear. The Fed didn't spike the punch recently though today was a large $9 Billion 1 day Repo, which is a major negative short term, and, a Wave 4 short term downcycle is in effect: http://www.newyorkfed.org/markets/omo/dmm/temp.cfm?SHOWMORE=TRUE ...................... http://www.JoeFRocks.com/
