SPX (S & P 500) Might Have Put In A Short Term Wave 5 And A Monthly Cycle High Today/On Monday 4-7
SPX (S & P 500) might have put in a short term Wave 5 (since 3-31) and a monthly cycle (since 3-17) high today/on Monday 4-7, see http://stockcharts.com/charts/gallery.html?%24spx. SPX has a bearish large spike on today 4-7's candle.
Also, SPX did a likely Wave A downcycle type move in the second half of the session, see http://finance.yahoo.com/q/ta?s=%5EGSPC&t=5d&l=off&z=l&q=c&p=&a=p12,fs,w14&c=. So, it looks like there will be a good shorting opportunity tomorrow during a countertrend Wave B type rebound.
SPX looks like a better short than NDX (NASDAQ 100, http://stockcharts.com/charts/gallery.html?%24ndx) or RUT (Russell 2000, http://stockcharts.com/charts/gallery.html?%24rut), because, they don't have large bearish spikes on today 4-7's candle.
The bearish WMT Lead Indicator the past two sessions, at -0.47% versus SPX today 4-7 and at -1.05% versus SPX on 4-4, see http://finance.yahoo.com/q/ta?s=%5EHUI&t=1d&l=off&z=l&q=l&p=&a=m26-12-9,p12,fs,w14&c=wmt,%5EGSPC, jives with a short term Wave 5 and a monthly cycle (since 3-17) high possibly occurring today/on Monday 4-7.
VIX fell a slight -0.27% today/on 4-7 versus the S & P 500 rising a slight +0.16% on 4-7, which is a slight +0.11% rise in complacency (the SPX wall of worry shrank by -0.11% = -0.27% + +0.16% = +0.11% rise in complacency) that points to some slight weakness on Tuesday 4-8.
The major averages are overbought (Williams %R, Stochastics, etc), see SPX (S & P 500) at http://stockcharts.com/charts/gallery.html?%24spx.
SPX created a bullish breakaway gap at 1322.70 on 4-1 and WMT created one at 52.68 (NDX at 1781.93, RUT at 687.97), see http://finance.yahoo.com/q/ta?s=%5EGSPC&t=5d&l=on&z=l&q=c&p=&a=p12,fs,w14&c=. SPX (S & P 500) has a bullish breakaway gap at 1276.60 from 3-18's open and WMT has one at 49.95 from 3-18's open.
I'll be looking to trade both the major averages (via SDS, QID, TWM) and HUI/XAU/gold short on Tuesday. I'll also possibly be looking at trading some major averages options/puts.
SPX (S & P 500) and NDX (NASDAQ 100) put in Wave A intermediate term cycle (since 10-11-07 for SPX and late October 2007 for NDX) lows on 3-17, while RUT (Russell 2000) did so on 3-10, see http://stockcharts.com/charts/gallery.html?%24spx for SPX.
The Upside Surprise/Rollover Barometer is at "Likely" due to the aggressive Fed credit extended since 2-28-08, that fuels index related program buying ("only" 70% of the dollar volume on the NYSE), see http://www.newyorkfed.org/markets/omo/dmm/temp.cfm?SHOWMORE=TRUE.
A Cyclical Bear Market probably began on 10-11-07 for SPX (S & P 500), began in late October 2007 for NDX (NASDAQ 100), began in late July 2007 for RUT (Russell 2000).
HUI/XAU/gold are doing a short term countertrend Wave B upcycle (HUI/gold since 4-1, the XAU entered Wave B on 3-20), following the huge very short term Wave A downcycle (HUI fell -18.29% in a little under three sessions) three weeks ago that triggered a very important 5% follow through major sell signal, see http://stockcharts.com/charts/gallery.html?%24xau.
Wave 1 up of the short term countertrend Wave B upcycle since 4-1 (HUI/gold, XAU since 3-20) probably peaked today/on Monday 4-7 as expected (XAU was in Wave 1 of Wave 3 of Wave B), which jives with today 4-7's bearish NEM Lead Indicator at -0.62% versus the XAU, 4-4's bearish NEM Lead Indicator at -0.65%, 4-3's bearish NEM Lead Indicator at -0.60%, and, 4-2's very bearish NEM Lead Indicator at -1.00% (http://finance.yahoo.com/q/ta?s=%5EXAU&t=1d&l=off&z=m&q=l&p=&a=&c=%5Ehui,nem).
I'll be looking to short the Gold Miners ETF GDX or NEM/GLD early on Tuesday. HUI, XAU, and NEM all have bearish large spikes on today 4-7's candle, see http://stockcharts.com/charts/gallery.html?%24hui.
From HUI's 5 day intraday candlestick chart (intraday Elliott Wave count, Wave A downcycle type move occurred in the second half of the session) it looks like there will be early strength on Tuesday 4-8, see http://finance.yahoo.com/q/ta?s=%5Ehui&t=5d&l=off&z=l&q=c&p=&a=p12%2Cfs%2Cw14&c. There could be some early weakness also, since GDX (Gold Miners ETF) might fill it's downside gap at 48.91 created at today 4-7's open. It nearly did fill it late in the session.
If you're looking to exit gold/silver stock and/or metals positions, the short term countertrend Wave B upcycle, that began on 4-1 for HUI/gold and on 3-20 for the XAU, will be an opportunity to do so.
When the final short term countertrend Wave B cycle high occurs there's likely to be a large bearish spike on the daily candle, and, the NEM Lead Indicator should be extremely bearish. Also, waiting for a sharp very short term Wave A type downcycle (sell signal, look for the short term Wave B upcycle trendline to clearly break down) before holding a short position/puts overnight (look to enter trades in a very short term countertrend Wave B) makes a lot of sense.
While I feel that gold has already gone to the moon for now (Wave 1 Cyclical Bull Market peaked/peaking), labeling me a "gold Bear" is absurd, when I think gold will probably reach $2000-2200 at the Secular Bull Market cycle high in 2018-2020ish, see http://tradethecycles.blogspot.com/2008/04/gold-will-not-reach-1500-for-about-6-7.html.
It shows just how corrupt and looney the gold Nazis and scam artists are, saying that someone who has ALWAYS MAINTAINED that gold was in a Secular Bull Market and that gold would go to $2000-2200ish is a gold Bear. Beware of gold scam artists.
Gold and silver had two Cyclical Bear Markets in the previous Secular Bull Market that peaked in 1980, corresponding to Elliott Wave 2 and 4 downcycles, see http://tradethecycles.blogspot.com/2008/03/gold-and-silvers-two-cyclical-bear.html.
The deflationary major worldwide economic downcycle is obviously curtailing commodities demand. The gold buffoons don't even understand fundamentally what's going on.
Concerning HUI/XAU/gold, the important thing now is that HUI/XAU/gold hit a 5% follow through major sell signal, see http://stockcharts.com/charts/gallery.html?%24xau. The multi month uptrend lines broke down and 5%+ follow through occurred to the downside. HUI/XAU/gold (gold might lag and peak in rollover mode) are in the midst of a major intermediate term downcycle, that's probably the start of an 18 monthish Wave 2 Cyclical Bear Market. HUI/XAU/gold will probably fall -50%+ in this bear market. Got cycles?
HUI/XAU very likely put in an intermediate term and a Wave 1 Cyclical Bull Market cycle high on 3-17 for HUI and on 3-14 for the XAU, see http://stockcharts.com/charts/gallery.html?%5Ehui. The XAU has a large bearish spike on 3-14's candle.
For the very bearish five day NEM Lead Indicator see http://finance.yahoo.com/q/ta?s=%5EXAU&t=5d&l=on&z=l&q=l&p=&a=&c=%5Ehui,nem.
The NEM Lead Indicator was a bearish -0.62% versus the XAU today/on 4-7, was a bearish -0.65% versus the XAU on 4-4, was a bearish -0.60% on 4-3, was a very bearish -1.00% on 4-2, was a very bullish +1.10% on 4-1, was -0.74% on 3-31, was +0.80% on 3-28, was -0.42% on 3-27, was a very bearish -1.44% on 3-26, was an extremely bearish -1.85% on 3-25, was an extremely bearish -2.19% on 3-20, and, was -0.63% on 3-24, see http://finance.yahoo.com/q/ta?s=%5EXAU&t=1d&l=off&z=l&q=l&p=&a=&c=%5Ehui,nem.
The rest of this post is old info, left in for reference purposes and for new readers.
Gold's primary Secular Bull Market (since April 2001) uptrend line is at $500ish, see chart two at http://www.joefrocks.com/GoldStockCharts.html. Morons leaving phony comments (and most gold writers) don't even understand basic technical analysis.
Nearly all if not all gold writers have long term investors chase huge parabolic spike moves, which is poor advice. Any investment is only timely for long term investors near it's primary trendline.
I constantly get bogus comments from morons saying how gold can't fall to it's primary trendline, currently at $500ish. Gold HAS to fall to it's primary trendline. This is very basic stuff.
Try finding a link to a gold writer who shows (even if the trendline is wrong) and discusses gold's primary multi year uptrend line since April 2001, without which it's impossible to know when gold is timely for long term investors.
The -18.29% HUI very short term Wave A downcycle in a little under three sessions time three weeks ago, see http://finance.yahoo.com/q/ta?s=%5Ehui&t=5d&l=off&z=l&q=c&p=&a=p12%2Cfs%2Cw14&c, is very likely an (probably extremely) important turning point/very strong sell signal. The more severe the weakness the stronger the sell signal tends to be, and, the weakness was about as severe as it gets.
The severe weakness/action recently tells us something, just as the severe weakness/5% sell signal that occurred in May 2006 was a good one, since HUI/XAU/gold (http://stockcharts.com/charts/gallery.html?%24xau) were underwater versus the May 2006 cycle high for about 17 months.
A rollover long term upcycle was in effect from June 2006 (from October 2006 for the XAU, http://stockcharts.com/charts/gallery.html?%24xau) until the recent cycle highs, that was probably the Wave 1 Cyclical Bull Market (began in late 2000 for HUI/XAU and in April 2001 for gold, which was a slightly higher bullish double bottom with the 1999 cycle low) peaking in dramatic rollover mode versus the May 2006 cycle high. One can only discuss likely scenarios, not certainties.
Here's a bearish gold article http://www.marketoracle.co.uk/Article4159.html.
Ski/Jeff Kern (http://www.321gold.com/editorials/kern/current.html) and Jack Chan (http://www.321gold.com/editorials/chan/chan033108.html) have turned bearish also.

Also, SPX did a likely Wave A downcycle type move in the second half of the session, see http://finance.yahoo.com/q/ta?s=%5EGSPC&t=5d&l=off&z=l&q=c&p=&a=p12,fs,w14&c=. So, it looks like there will be a good shorting opportunity tomorrow during a countertrend Wave B type rebound.
