looking at the US dollar index

it is on the verge of breaking down lower

if that mini H&S breaks down, next target is 2 pts down to the last up trend line and 200 DAY EMA, which imo could be a reversal.

alot of folks talking higher US dollar

so could this be a short term weakness in the US dollar that will fuel equities, gold and oil higher? based on this chart, it does appear there is upside for oil, gold and stocks

then a reversal that will sent stocks down, oil down and perhaps gold will move sideways until it becomes a safe haven investment that will keep it from bowing lower.

of course if it can collasp the swoon beyond the low trendline, then that would be best since it will sent everything higher

if the above chart and assumption is true

then looking at oil it would be a good buy entry near if not at the purple trendline with stop below the 1st red line, a safer stop would be the 2nd line.

you ask why now if the 51.3 is important I mention eariler, well if we are to see higher oil, wont it be better to get in on the low? considering the H&S threat is about gone, this is a risk/reward play.

for myself my focus is on gold, but if I was to take a risk that oil is about to head higher, I would probablly give it a shot at current levels and anticipate a breakout above 51.7 that will quickly surge to 55. Will we see beyond 55? well that will depend if the dollar index can begin its crash below its 200 Day which I think will hold when we get there.

all eyes on the Fed meeting today

and the worse than expected GDP seems to do nothing on the market. So market does feel like it wants to head higher.

I guess either the FED meeting on the stress result would be the reversal if anything.

or they could fuel the rally higher after all we are still range bound

i think i'm going to get out off HOU, oil doesn't seem to be moving, anyone else got in, i'm in at .66

^

right now oil price does not care about the report. oil price is testing the 51.33 area, all eyes is on the US dollar, right now its holding right at a very important support, a break lower = send everything up including oil

I suspect if this happens oil will quickly get to 54.75 within days

for those that are up I would move your stop and watch it closely

DOW and S&P both are about to break new highs

Haha I know I know... I am trying to get involved more in this thread as I get more familiar with the market. Finally finished school so all I have been doing is reading and researching.

Plus the last acquisiton I was expecting to happen was UTS, which I made a comment in this thread a couple weeks back. They rejected the offer, and the acquisition never went through, so it was likely better that I never jumped on that one.

safe play is to wait till price can close above 51.3

well oil hasnt hit my order yet, and if it doesnt get there no matter. but if it does I would use a mental stop and watching the price carefully, if it closes below 50 dollars onthe 1hr chart I will be out. That is if I have a position

Well I got stopped out of DNDN earlier at $25. Almost 50% returns is good although I was hoping for $30+

I placed a buy order for HOU at $5.50 and missed so won't be chasing now I don't think.

SilverRex
04-29-2009, 11:45 AM
^ you can either get in with a tight stop or

wait until it breaks 51.3-7, no one knows how much it will rally off there if the break comes thru, you just hope it will come down for a retest then

in 30 mins we will soon find out whats going on. IS the rally today simply a reflection of positive news coming out of the FED's mouth? or will there be a complete reversal?

gold is up but HGU not so much...

SilverRex
04-29-2009, 12:03 PM
^ cant recall but its any moment this week and next week as well.

HGU is under performing relative to the HUI index, unfortunately its because of the weak US and strong loonie.

the bright side, HGU wont be hammer as much if the dollar gains strength so take your pick

10 more mins until FED announcement,

oil at 51.23 now, closing above 51.3 on 1 hour chart is bullish IMO

Red@8

looks like no major news from the FED, if anything it says it will not add more liquidity to the market which is short term bad news for inflation, and bad for gold. thus gold is selling off.

in the end I would say its a was a buy on rumor and sell on news.

with this oil still cannot close above 51.3 so we may have to wait until tomorrow ;)

apparently gold dipped, I guess you can either say it was trying to knock out some stops but 40 mins later it shot right back up. I have a feeling this rally isnt done yet

market isnt selling off as it should if it was bad news or sell on news

this could mean market is still wanting to head higher?

My buy order missed by 1 cent on HGU :(
I feel tsx will go to 10k and pause then I think we will start seeing a sell off again.

Edit: Anybody been watching/buying Moly and Uranium stocks?
Few I've been watching are TCM, UEX, UUU and DML.
TCM I hold but from way back when it was $16 or so dollars, its been steadily rising in price and has almost doubled in the last couple months from 4 to 8 dollars.

UEX has been on a tear in the last few days, not sure whats going on there as I've only been watching share price.

UUU I know maxboost bought into this a while back and they had some good things going for them. I hold this from a long time ago too but thinking of adding to my position.

DML has had lots of great things happen in the past few weeks, investments from over seas companies and this company has a strong backing with it's own resources. I picked a very small position yesterday in the RRSP and its up 20% today so I'm quite happy with that.

If anyone has any other insight on these companies it would be great to hear. Sorry I don't have any actual news or hard facts about the companies, mainly have just been watching the trend of the share prices and investing accordingly.

I had bought GCE before on a big run up, and it just stalled. I see that like WTN it is up today. Coking coal must be up, or steel must have a more bullish view.

Denison Mines and UUU are both up due to a spot price in Uranium turning the corner.
Check out Cameco (cco.to). It is the world leader in Uranium, very well run from what I hear, but I keep on wanting a pullback and haven't got one yet.

Dines put out a buy on the Uraniums so that explains their spike today. The upcoming Super Uranium Bull lol

I had UUU in the low $2's, made 50% and sold it. I can't seem to hold anything longer than a couple weeks these days. I keep thinking the market is going to crash but it isn't; well not yet. UUU is now at $3.55 :nut:

SilverRex
04-30-2009, 06:48 AM
looking at the chart, even though oil closed above the important 51.3 however it does not appear it is rocketing like it should. perhaps it could either mean we Might see a drop first beforeing going higher as it is sort of overbought on some indicator

or not much investor pays attention to 51.3

if one is to remember back when the big trendline was at around 45, does anyone of you remember we all waited to short it? assuming it was resuming its down trend, well initially it did but it since then broke above 45 slightly only to drop 5 dollars before surging higher.

anyhow IMO I think oil has broken an important trend line which is 51.3. For day traders I would get in and have tops below 51 oil

for long traders I would at least have my stops on oil below 49.05 which is what oil needs to break in order to completely turn this around now as well as you also have to take the closing price and form another down trend line in case oil wants to test this instead but if this break is real then this will put 55-60 oil on the table.

update: oil testing 51.33 (at 50.88-51) let see if it can form a reversal here.

update. oil touched 50.21

maybe I may just get my 5.50 oil lol

going to open a small order here, if oil closes below 50 on the 1hr chart then i will be out

short term will turn bearish only if it closes below 880, which we are at, so let see what happens.

in at 5.60, let see how she goes, my stop will be below oil 50 and if i am lucky enough to call it right and it moves back above 51.33, then I will move my stop to zero and this play will not be a short term play I will let it ride out with target at least around 55

as disappointing as HGU have been in the last few days. Hold tight I have a feeling this is a fake out before a big run higher.:D

I think HGU anything below 10 is a good play


think of gold and oil are ready to make a major move but right before, shorts take it down to cover as well as taken out stops, so if this indeed a fake out, boy are we gifted with low prices :)

lets go oil and gold

Hard turn in the market. Let's see if this is gap filling, because if the dow S&P closes below 870 after starting above 875 I can only imagine this would be the start of the downturn.

yup not exiting unless it closes below 50

as for hgu, yes earning is around the corners, and based on cyclical nature, next top in gold should be mid june so I intend to hold onto my hgu and will add more if it dips further

please dont give me too much credit, its pretty straight forward Technical analysis, plus I will be wrong eventually. TA works because everyone uses it for entry and exit.

right now we are not out of the woods yet oil is at 51.13, its the defining moment if this is the bottom for the next leg up or top

I can care less if oil rockets to 70 all in one shot. I'm more excited with gold instead. so hopefully gold can break aboe 918 and bring some life back to us longs

by the way did anyone catch one article this morning suggesting if 6500 was the bottom for DOW, then this could be a inflationary recession, but if DOW takes off and moves back to 10-14k, this will be a indication of hyperinflation. why? simply because the economy is shrinking, and we are hardly near recovery. So the only way that explains the market moving higher and higher is simply because of inflation. Or a break down of the US dollar

and of course gold will certainly catch up quickly

I know I know. but still it’s nice that you take time and do the graphs for all of us and give your input!

Always looking forward for those graphs :)

Looks like gold won’t close below 880, at least today.

My guess would be profit taking, this thing has been going up 8-10% on a daily basis for a week. Might be a good time to jump in or maybe wait to see what tomorrow brings in this case.

This should be the exit for the shorts today.

So once again volume ramps up in the last 10 minutes of trading. Big battle between the profit takers and the short covers. Seeing how today went I think this is going to have to go to the bulls at the end of today.

Let's see how it ends up. I am hoping above 875.

I'm of the mind that the stress test results are already leaked and baked into the pie. They have been careful to slowly let out bits and pieces to not startle the market. If were going up on rumour, i think you know what happens when we get the actual news.

I think May 4 will be a non event.

I moved my stops, I'm not convinced this is a breakout quite yet. The DOW hit resistance and was rejected big time.

If it moves convincingly then I will go long, but for now, I remain short oil and financials.

To me there is just too much positivity going around. Everyone is on CNBC saying how things are way undervalues and stocks should rally to 10,000. etc.. etc.. It just doesn't 'feel' right.

http://www.cnbc.com/id/30502539



Sell in May and go away involves getting out of the markets in the late spring and into the summer. Biriyni, however, points out that from 1962 to 2008 the S&P 500 was down only 51% of the time (May to August).

Things change, though, when you look at what happened during that period in a bull or a bear market.

In bull markets:

-S&P up 60% of time

-Average gain: 3.1%

In bear market:

-S&P down 83% of time

-Average decline: 7.1%

In other words, the summer continued the trend.

So are we in a bull or bear market right now? That is still unclear.

I'm of the same mind. Unfortunately this last week it didn't help me at all. But another thing that changed my mind was looking back at 02-03. We went through the same period after the low trying to breakout and wouldn't break resistance. Then we shot up to ~930 only to finally peter out and head back down.

I can't help but feel that since everyone knows we are overbought, it doesn't matter. I do think this has to break 875 tomorrow. Fridays have typically been good and most of the opening gap downs have been met by buying, probably signaling there are people out there who see this rally as something to buy into for the meantime.

friday

so far everything wanted to breakout but ended up closing below its peaks technically.

chart wise, oil only has two ways to go, either closing above 51.3 to ensure a run up or closing below 50 (50.14 may do it) to ensure downside.

that will be exactly what I will be doing. Exit HOU if oil closes below 50 on the 1 hour chart. Hold my position if it does not and hope it breaks above 51.33 and stay there long enough to form a base that will eventually be the bottom to build onto 55 oil of course if the market has topped out, then oil will turn around.

if oil does close below 50 oil, then next leg down will hit around 48.70 which would be the last standing support and target price if the current breakdown is to occur. One can look at buying around under 49 with stop below 48.50 . breaking below this will bring her down to 44.

but no worries, so far oil is poking its head above 51, let see how she goes

all in all, it will follow the strength and weakness of the US dollar. So we will see what happens

http://i278.photobucket.com/albums/kk118/genmaster/oil53.jpg

as for gold its been a while since I have posted a chart here. we are at at very very important support level. clearly its been a while since gold became this clear. The 880 support is VERY important. a close below this on the 1hr chart means weakness again but the double bottom at 865 is only 15pts down so if I had stops I would ensure it is under 865 right now gold will need to fight and recapture above 902 in order keep bulls and the target of 950 in the picture within the next few weeks. Question is, is gold trying to bottom (double bottom) on 880 just like it did at 865? lets hope so

I think so, since silver has put in a very big reversal on the 1 hr chart. its been awhile since I last saw such big reversal. So lets go gold/silver.

im going to try and hold hou until at least 6.50 which is about 54.5 oil

as seen below, 54+ is about the upper channel, and previous peak, I suspect we will not break this on first try and will look for a pull back OR wait until it breaks 55 like it did with 51.3 before entry to confirm strength for further advance.

yes market could turn any time if it wish in that case we all should be up 5-6% I will move up my stop to zero. 51.3 should be a good support which is over our 5.6 entry, if it closes below then something else is going wrong
