Technical Analysis Of Major Markets

December 22, 2015

Gold

Gold was flat in the overnight session, but the wave patterns on the Intraday Chart suggest still higher prices in this up leg.  Our next targets are 1085.00 and 1088.20. We are working on the assumption that all of wave .a. of –v- ended at 1046.40 and we are now rallying in wave .b..

Retracements for the end of wave .b. are:

50% = 1119.10;

61.8% = 1136.20.

Wave .b. is expected to consist of at least one *a*, *b*, *c* pattern.

There is also an outside chance that all of wave 4 or wave ii of 3 is complete at the 1046.40 low.

The Commitment of Traders(Managed Money), which started being tracked in 2006, is at a record low for gold.  Almost everyone predicts gold is going much lower, except for the Captain and his crew!

We are long 20 positions, with puts at 1085.00!

Crude Oil

Crude had a contract rollover on the continuous chart, which has added about $1.50 to the value of the front month. In that contract, crude reached a high of 36.26.

We do not see a clear impulsive wave structure on the Intraday Chart from the 33.98 low to the current highs. That does not mean there is not one coming, but that it could still be developing.

More time is needed to see if the 33.98 low is a lasting one.   

Our current wave (iv), looks like:

-a- = 49.33:

-b-:

*a* = 43.21;

*b* = 50.91;

*c* ending diagonal triangle = 33.98, if complete, to complete all of wave -b-;

-c- rally is next.

We will provide our projections for the end of wave -c- . when we are sure that wave -b- is complete. Wave -c- is still expected to be a very sharp rally higher, with a run to the $60/65 area likely.

Wav (iii) in NG may now be complete, so we will see how this affect crude moving forward.

We are long 15 positions, with 42.00 puts, plus 5 positions with 37.00 puts, as stops!                                                                           

S&P 500

The S&P Futures we flat in the overnight session, as we continue to assume that all of wave .b. is complete at the 2005.48 low.

If this assumption is correct, then we should now rally sharply in wave .c. to all time new highs to end all of wave B. 

From those highs, we expect a 1929 type of crash to unfold!

USDX

The USDX has continued its slow drift lower, reaching 98.22, at the time that this Post was being written.

We have lowered our stop on our short positions to 99.40!

We are starting to have some doubts about whether wave .iv. ended at 97.21, and in fact we are starting to think that a major top in the USDX was made at 100.71.

We have been working on some alternates that we will likely Post later this week or over the Christmas holidays, but will say that these alternates suggest that the USDX could be heading back to the 80.00/85.00 area!

We still have a number of Options relative to this market, which we will review in this discussion. 

Our current preferred option is that we are still working on wave .iv., with the following internal wave count: 

*a* = 97.59;

*b* = 99.35, if complete;

*c* drop to go, to at least the 97.21 low.

Wave *c* cannot drop below the wave .i. high of 96.64, or something else is going as it relates to the end of wave .iv.

If that drop was to happen then it is likely that we will be following the red Option shown on the attached Weekly USDX Chart.

In this case we would be dropping in a protracted wave .c., that would have a minimum target of 92.52. In term of our current preferred count, the rally within wave *b* has reached our 50 to 61.8% retracement zone of 99.09 to 99.44, with a current high of 99.35.

On the Intraday Chart it is not clear as to whether wall of wave *b* is complete at the 99.35 high, or whether we will challenge that high one more time before wave *b* ends. A drop below 98.61, would suggest that all of wave *b* is complete at the 99.35 high.

Our current count for all of wave -v- is: 

.i. = 96.64;

.ii. = 93.83;

.iii. = 100.58;

.iv. is still underway;

.v. rally to go to at least the 100.71, wave -iii- high.

The other option is that wave .iv. did end at the 97.21 low and we are working higher in wave .v. to at least the 100.71 wave -iii- high.

We are short 5 at 99.25, risking to 99.40!

NatGas

 

NatGas reached a low of 1.881, in the overnight session, at the item that this Post was being written. If we have now completed an impulsive wave structure from 1.693 to 1.944, then we should expect a correction that retraces between 50 to 61.8% of that previous move higher.

Those retracements are: 

50% = 1.819;

61.8% = 1.789.

It could still be possible that the impulsive wave structure that we are talking about is still not complete at the 1.994 high, and that is it going to extend higher, before we get our 50 to 61.8% corrective retracement.

We will still give this market a little more time before we officially declare wave (iii) complete at the 1.693 low.

Upon completion of wave (iii), we will give our projections for the end of wave (iv), which will be a retracement that ranges between 23.6% and 38.2% of the entire wave (iii) drop.

A 50% retracement could be possible in this market also. The wave (iv) rally should reach the 3.00 to 3.50 level. 

We are long 5 positions, with 1.800 puts as stops!

Gold Stocks

For several years, our main focus in the gold stocks sector, even more than GDX, is our bellwether junior gold miner: CRJ, which is performing like a champ!

We look to CRJ to function as a beacon of leadership, for the entire sector.

As you can see on the attached daily CRJ Chart, if we are working on a wave -iv- triangle then we should be fast approaching the end of wave *d* of that triangle.

Although an ideal place for wave *d* to end would be at the red upper trend line it can rally as high as wave *b*, which is 0.82.

If it rallies above 0.82 now, then our wave -iv- triangle is eliminated. The important aspect of this chart, is that if our analysis is correct, then upon completion of the wave -iv- triangle, we should expect a sharp wave –v- thrust higher to our wave (iii) target of 0.98.

For this to happen we would probably need to see gold explode higher….

Is something going to happen to get gold to do that early in 2016? We are watching, and the wave counts suggest it is very likely!

We are long the GDX, ABX, KGC, NEM, CRJ, and TSX:XGD with no stops!

Best wishes to the entire gold community for a happy & prosperous 2016!
