February scored the first point in favor of the bulls breaking the downtrend. Usually, when we get something that we want, after moments of winning euphoria, we start to feel sad about further uncertainty – what is next? To avoid that feeling we should work out a new plan like the one that I prepared for you below.

Speaking globally, the sad thing for the bulls is that we can’t be sure of the Big Bull Run until the price is below the previous high at $1920. I can add more points saying that there is still a chance of a complex correction, which can last longer, much longer. Gold was in an uptrend for 12 years and the current correction took only 4.5 years. Therefore, the probability of its prolongation is high as the correction might last longer the than major trends. It is human nature when we have a clear idea to act decisively and swiftly (trends), but once we fall into a thoughtful mood reflecting of further plans we are losing/taking our time to think everything thoroughly (corrections).

Code Orange

In my previous post I warned bears to be alert to the changing trend as strengthening signals started to appear for Silver. This month I think the proper code for the current bear market is orange. The orange level requires sellers to be prepared for the anticipated worsening of conditions.

I added the Fibonacci retracement level on the chart to show you how deep the silver price drop is. The 78.6% is usually the last level of correction, where most buyers have already jumped out of their long positions. The metal stopped falling right above it. For comparison, gold retraced only 50% of the rise and it has some room for further weakness. Continue reading "Silver Update: This Cup Should Refresh Bulls" →

This Rally Will Come To An End Very Soon

Posted on by The INO.com Team

Hello MarketClub members everywhere. It's Friday and a lot is going on in the markets. I believe that the sharp rally in the indices will fizzle out in the next five days and they will move into a trading range before heading lower.

The reason I say that is because all three major indices are in what I call "thin air". What that means is that they are all above their 50% Fibonacci retracement levels and close to their 61.8% major resistance areas.

Here are the areas for the DOW, NASDAQ and the S&P 500. Continue reading "This Rally Will Come To An End Very Soon" →

Into Thin Air...

Posted on by The INO.com Team

Into Thin Air is a best-selling non-fiction book of the 1996 Mt. Everest Disaster written by Jon Krakauer. His book was later made into a movie called Everest which gives a chilling visual account of events that took place on the world's tallest mountain. The phrase "into thin air" refers to the altitude and the lack of oxygen at the summit of Mount Everest. Humans can only stay at the summit of Mount Everest for a brief amount of time before the lack of oxygen will cause them to die.

That is sort of how I feel about the markets right now and this particular rally. The major indices without oxygen (in this case, super bullish news) are going to fail. That is how I feel now, but overriding any emotional feeling I have will be the non-emotional Trade Triangles. At the moment, both the Dow and the S&P 500 are indicating a sidelines position. Only the NASDAQ has both the weekly and monthly Trade Triangles indicating a downtrend. Continue reading "Into Thin Air..." →
