Probably A Big Wave 3 Short Term Upcycle Peaking

Looking at HUI's daily 3 month chart and at William's %R, which is very near an extremely overbought level of 0 right now, HUI/XAU are probably in a big Wave 3 short term upcycle that's peaking, rather than early in a Wave 5 short term upcycle. Reliable lead indicator NEM is probably in a Wave 5 short term upcycle from looking at it's daily 3 month chart. The NEM Lead Indicator right now is at a bearish -0.65% versus the XAU, after being -0.49% yesterday, which is another sign that one shouldn't be looking to trade long right now.

The XAU and HUI have been in a Wave 2 Cyclical Bear Market since 5-11-06 (but began the bullish 3-6 month Wave B up on 10-4-06) and reliable lead indicator NEM was (until 10-4-06) in a Wave 2 Cyclical Bear Market since 1-31-06 (ended at 39.84 on Wednesday 10-4). NEM's Secular Bull Market/very long term upcycle trendline is currently at 40ish (see second chart at http://www.joefrocks.com/GoldStockCharts.html).
