Stars Suddenly Align for Gold

Gold is in a 9-12 month cycle down phase that isn’t going down, which is a bullish sign for the longer term.  It has re-emerged from the base from which it broke out in mid July. If this holds, it confirms the implied target of xxxx. The 13-week cycle has shifted back into an up phase with a projection of xxxx ideally due no sooner than xxxxxx xx. Short-term cycles have also turned up, with highs due no sooner than xxx xxxxxx. I have added new mining picks to swing. Non-subscribers click here for access.

End Stage Hysteria Breaks

Last week we saw that the price to liquidity ratio measures suggested that the rally was in its end stage. The most recent data gives additional support to that idea, with those indicators touching upper trend limits in the week ended July 17. Under the circumstances, market action this week looks like not just a pullback, but more likely, xxxx xxxx xxxxxxxx xxxxxxx xxxxxxx.  Non-subscribers, click here for access.

As a result, my focus would be on xxxxxxxxxxxx   xxxxxxxxxx xxxxxxxxxx. Non-subscribers, click here for access. 

The bond market has rallied in July, contrary to my thinking that massive supply would hurt the bond market. The source of the money to support this isn’t clear, but deduction would say that it’s leverage, particularly repo. But repo outstanding has been rangebound. If it subsequently breaks down, that should be a sign xxxxxxxxx xxxxxxxxx xxxxxxxxxxx again. Short-term bills continue to look like xxxxxxxxxxxxx xxxxxxxx xxxxxxxxx Non-subscribers, click here for access.

On Friday, 154 short term buy signals and 743 short-term sell signals triggered, out of the 1484 stocks that met minimum price and volume criteria. However, after applying long term structure filters there were 34 buys and just 13 sells. The selloff so far looks to have only short-term implications. Non-subscribers click here for access.

Politics and Markets Make Strange Bedfellows

Joe will go, but the market won’t go with him. Political events, no matter how much of a watershed they represent, do to cause trend change. Reactions to those events are very short-term, and the market usually returns to the cyclical patterns that were developing before the event, within a few days. That will happen here.  Non subscribers click here to access.

Meanwhile, cycle indicators say that the market won’t go much lower here and that a higher high is still in the offing down the road. Maybe not as high as before, but higher. Here’s when and where to expect both the next top, and a longer term top. Non subscribers click here to access.

The Sky’s the Limit

The only thing keeping the market afloat is the willingness of big market participants to take on leverage to continue buying stocks and bonds. Increasingly prodigious amounts of T-bill supply are not pressuring prices as I had forecast back in ancient times, maybe 3 months ago, that they would and should have. Instead, they have become the basis for taking on more debt via repo and margin, and using it to buy other assets such as Treasuries and stocks. Non-subscribers, click here for access. 

Subscribers, click here to download the report.

As a result, I have been suggesting to hold on to longs for the time being, and hold off on shorting. However, the market’s pricing is now so extended versus base liquidity, aka money, that we have to wonder where the limit is? Is it here, or is it the sky? Non-subscribers, click here for access. 

The trend is still in place and there’s no indication yet that it is beginning to turn. On the other hand, there are indications that price to liquidity ratios are at or near extreme trend limits. They’ve been at other apparent limits before and gone through them, as the movement increasingly moves toward the vertical. They’re so vertical now that it looks “end-stagey” to me, but that’s just a gut reaction born of 56 years of observing markets, not an empirical judgment. We need more. Non-subscribers, click here for access. 

It will come down when the weight of higher prices becomes too much to absorb. All we can do is closely watch the price measures via technical analysis, and apply basic TA to price/liquidity sentiment measures, looking for the first signs of a change of direction. Given the fragility of the current structure, I suspect that the turn could be faster than usual. I would want to react quickly at the first sign of a turn. In other words, sell first and ask questions later. Non-subscribers, click here for access.

Gold Takes the High Road

Gold chose the high base option. With the breakout, the initial target is xxxx. The cycle chart indicates potential resistance at xxxx with room to run to xxxx over the next month, if the first line is cleared. The 9-12 month cycle projection has risen to xxxx, with no projected top date due to that cycle being in trending mode. Shorter term projections point to xxxx-xxxx. I have added another pick to the mining stocks swing trade pick list. Non-subscribers click here for access.
