SPX/NDX/RUT Appear To Have Bottomed Near Session's End

SPX (S & P 500)/NDX (NASDAQ 100)/RUT (Russell 2000) appear to have bottomed near session's end, see http://finance.yahoo.com/q/ta?s=%5Espx&t=5d&l=on&z=l&q=c&p=&a=m26-12-9%2Cp12%2Cfs%2Cw14&c, which jives with a bullish five day WMT Lead Indicator, see http://finance.yahoo.com/q/ta?s=%5EHUI&t=5d&l=on&z=l&q=l&p=&a=m26-12-9,p12,fs,w14&c=wmt,%5EGSPC. The WMT Lead Indicator was +0.56% versus SPX (S & P 500) today/on 3-3, +0.52% on 2-29, -0.53% on 2-28, +0.15% on 2-27, +1.44% on 2-26.

SPX (S & P 500) and NDX's (NASDAQ 100) 2-7-08 (short term Wave 2) cycle lows held today 3-3, see http://stockcharts.com/charts/gallery.html?%24spx and http://stockcharts.com/charts/gallery.html?%24ndx, but, RUT's (Russell 2000) 2-22-08 cycle low failed today, see http://stockcharts.com/charts/gallery.html?%24rut. It looks like RUT probably just entered a short term Wave 3 upcycle today 3-3, whereas SPX and NDX did so on 2-7-08.

Thursday's humongous $41 Billion in Repos, Friday's large $12.75 Billion, and, today's large $11.75 Billion, see http://www.newyorkfed.org/markets/omo/dmm/temp.cfm?SHOWMORE=TRUE, which is massive Fed credit that typically would result in very strong program buying, is a good reason why today is probably an important very short term cycle low for SPX/NDX, and, is probably a short term Wave 2 cycle low for RUT.

Wave A intermediate term (Cyclical Bear Market began 10-11-07 for SPX, late October 2007 for NDX, late July 2007 for RUT) cycle lows occurred on 1-23 for SPX/NDX and on 1-22 for RUT (Russell 2000), so, SPX/NDX/RUT are in a countertrend Wave B minor intermediate term upcycle.

The action in HUI/XAU/gold clearly points to very important peaking action. See the previous post at http://tradethecycles.blogspot.com/2008/03/huixau-are-in-wave-5-of-rollover-wave-5.html.

Gold fell from $730 on 5-11-06 to $542 in mid June 2006, which is only one month's time, so, if you think gold can't fall to $500-525 in 12-18 months, think again. Gold's primary trendline is at $500ish right now, see chart 2 at http://www.joefrocks.com/GoldStockCharts.html. Beware of all the gold nitwits and scam artists. Trust me.

Gold is extremely untimely from a long term investor's point of view, since it's about 50% above it's primary multi year uptrend line, which is basic technical analysis.

See the very bearish five day NEM Lead Indicator at http://finance.yahoo.com/q/ta?s=%5EXAU&t=5d&l=off&z=l&q=l&p=&a=&c=%5Ehui,nem, and, see the extremely bearish three month NEM Lead Indicator at http://finance.yahoo.com/q/ta?s=%5EXAU&t=3m&l=off&z=l&q=l&p=&a=&c=%5Ehui,nem.

The NEM Lead Indicator is extremely bearish the past month, at -0.89% versus the XAU today/on 3-3, -0.07% on 2-29, at +0.29% on 2-28, at -0.58% on 2-27, at +0.09% on 2-26, -0.96% on 2-25, -0.84% on 2-22, -1.53% on 2-21, -0.53% on 2-20, +0.46% on 2-19, -1.65% on 2-15, -0.03% on 2-14, +0.08% on 2-13, -1.79% on 2-12, -1.18% on 2-11, -1.51% on 2-8, +0.75% on 2-7, -0.21% on 2-6, +1.08% on 2-5, -1.99% on 2-4, -0.97% on 2-1.
