The Precious Metals Sector Hit a 5% Follow Through Major Sell Signal

The precious metals sector hit a 5% follow through major sell signal recently (probably did last week, in the week ending 1-22-10), see the XAU's second weekly view candlestick chart at http://bit.ly/aMNz3g. Note that the XAU has broken well below (5%+ below) it's uptrending channel that was in effect since early 2009.

The XAU's Wave 1 Major Intermediate Upcycle of the Wave 3 Cyclical Bull Market since October 2008 probably peaked in early December 2009, see the second weekly view candlestick chart at http://bit.ly/aMNz3gand, more importantly, this major sell signal indicates that the environment for trading the precious metals sector long is risky. 

For the major averages I'll use a similar approach for a 5% follow through major sell signal. I'll use the uptrending channel since early to mid 2009 (NDX (NASDAQ 100) Major Upcycle began in November 2008 versus 3-6-09 for SPX (S & P 500)), so, the major averages didn't hit a 5% follow through major sell signal yet (look at the second weekly view chart and visualize the channel since early to mid 2009), and, probably won't in this Short Term Downcycle since 1-19-10 for SPX, see charts one and two at http://bit.ly/i0nsT.
