SPX is undergoing a short-term correction most likely consisting of two phases with the first one ending Tuesday or Wednesday around 3730, although it may push down to 3690 right away. This should be followed by a rebound and another decline into the end of the month.

During my holiday break the Dow Jones continued advancing. Not as if it were on fire, but it did make six new BEV Zeros in the BEV chart below, and remained within 1% of one every day since December 18th.
Gold was sheared this past week by -1.2% and is now -3.9% year-to-date. Silver was smeared this past week by -2.6% and is now -6.4% year-to-date. But relax: have a cracker 'n schmear, perhaps even a beer, and we'll try to relate to make it all clear.

Gold plummeted last Friday, dragging silver and their miners’ stocks down with it. That was reminiscent of another brutal down day in early November. While certainly uncommon, sharp selloffs naturally freak out traders crushing any bullish sentiment. Serious gold down...
When equity markets entered the bear market territory in early 2020, several investors would have bet on gold prices to move significantly higher. While gold touched a record price of $2,070.05 per ounce in August, it has lost momentum since then to currently trade at...

Gold/SPX indicated the excess and the gold miners are correcting that excess. In and around the August time frame we noted (in NFTRH) high risk to the gold miners because the price of HUI had gotten a million miles ahead of gold’s ratio to the stock market. That was...
Now that the US has elected a new president who will appoint a new administration, we must forget recent political events and focus on future economic and monetary policies. It is a statement of the obvious that President-elect Biden and his new Treasury Secretary will...
