Lee AdlerThe S&P 500 is testing critical resistance near 6600, with regression channels, long-term cycles, and short-term structures all pointing to potential acceleration toward XXXX into Xxxxx and XXXX into Xxxxxx.
Projections point to the xxxx range, which is where wave channel boundaries extend over the next month. Indicator patterns suggest an extended price, but not one ready to roll over yet. Miner swing picks show an average gain of 14.1% on an average holding period of 33 calendar days. There are no changes to the list this week.
Long term and intermediate term buy setups were again predominant, while sell side setups increased. Picks open as of the September 8 close, showed an average gain of 13.5%, up from 4.8% the previous week, with an average holding period of 31 calendar days. 5 of the 6 had gains.
The S&P 500 continues to grind higher, with resistance zones just overhead and cycle structures still pointing to the possibility of a blowoff toward xxxx. Cycle interactions suggest rangebound conditions in the short run, but the longer-term backdrop remains biased to the upside. This report includes the quarterly update of long term cycle projections. They don’t look good for bears.

Gold’s price is moving toward a test of projected intermediate term wave channel resistance in the xxxx range. Projections point to xxxx in September- October. The indicator patterns suggest the potential for an extended run.

Long term and intermediate term buy setups were again predominant, and about 40% of those met short-term trigger criteria. There were three times as many buy setups as sells. Only 3 of the sell side setups triggered short-term sell signals.
Primary dealers are propping up record Treasury issuance with no cash cushion left. Every new purchase is repo-financed. Hedge funds are pressing shorts. Net exposures look balanced, but leverage is surging toward the danger zone. Stability here is an illusion — and when it cracks, it will happen fast.

The S&P 500 has formed a well-defined pennant, with breakout direction set to determine the next major swing. Cycle projections point to xxxx short-term, and ultimately to xxxx later this year. Cycle indicators suggest that the direction will be xxxx.
Gold appears to be in a high base consolidation, which would normally lead to a breakout. Gold stocks are far stronger. Here’s what looks good, and what signals would suggest failure and danger.
