Lest we be seduced by the wishful notion that the FBI Comey rally could be the bull market’s dying gasp, consider the chart featured with this tout. It suggests that a nearly 1500-point rally to 19728 is possible for the Dow Industrials if...
A bull-trap reversal hit the green line, putting a 20.24 downside target theoretically in play. Accordingly, we should look to trade the ETF with a bearish bias. That implies you could either look to get short now via camouflage, or wait...
Gold’s recent breach of the key low at 1259.10 low (see inset) recorded in June is worrisome. However, the picture would become still more so if a relapse in the days ahead takes the December contract beneath the 1242.70 low just to the...
Today’s moderate weakness put the futures on course for a further decline to as low as 1216.50 over the next 2-4 days. However, using a more conservative ABC pattern (see inset) yields the possibility of a less painful outcome in the form...

The futures blew past the 1346.10 target with ease, implying that an ABC pattern of greater magnitude, with a correspondingly higher target, is driving this rally. The one shown projects to 1430.80, about 5.6% above current levels. The...
The pattern shown, with a minor downside target at 1302.70, looks like it will provide the most useful perspective for the very near-term. Neither the midpoint pivot nor the secondary (respectively, the red and green line) showed any...
