HUI/XAU Made New Wave A Cycle Lows Today

The major downcycle's (since 9-6 for HUI/XAU and 9-5 for reliable lead indicator NEM) wave A lives. HUI and the XAU made new wave A cycle lows today, while NEM's cycle low from yesterday (at 43.12 I think) held. Depending on which way NEM breaks out of today’s intraday triangle will probably determine whether Wave A is still in effect for NEM and probably also HUI/XAU.

The NEM Lead Indicator was a modestly bullish +0.43% vs the XAU today, which indicates that more wave A downside tomorrow won't be surprising. The NEM Lead Indicator was a slightly bullish +0.21% vs the XAU yesterday, which correctly indicated that more wave A downside today wouldn't be surprising.

The NEM Lead Indicator was a very bullish +1.03% vs the XAU on Tuesday. The NEM Lead Indicator was a very bearish -1.56% versus the XAU on Monday after being a bearish -0.65% versus the XAU on Friday. The past thirteen weeks and four days the NEM Lead Indicator is a very bearish -12.13% versus the XAU.

A vicious multi week decline, similar to the one that occurred from 5-11-06 until 6-13-06 for HUI/NEM/XAU, began on 9-6 for HUI/XAU and on 9-5 for reliable lead indicator NEM. Wave A of this major downcycle since 9-6 may still be in effect (may last a few more sessions). Wave B up of the major downcycle since 9-6 might last over a week, Wave B in the prior major downcycle from 5-11-06 until 6-13-06 did, then it's time for the final Wave C down and another brutal decline for HUI/XAU, in which Wave A of their Cyclical Bear Market since 5-11-06 bottoms, probably in the 100-110 range for the XAU.
