right now I am not playing the biotech sector. but how many remember when it feels like this sector was lost and everyone was in a bit of a panic?

I thought big money was trying to manufacture a false breakdown just like how the miners did and moves were similar.

looking back with this, we all knew what happen after words.

EW suggest biotech is in a wave 3 of 3 right now.

for those still looking for a good individual miner play. the one to watch is gold corp.

it never got the attention and move from the rest of the sector and so it's wave 3 is still in the cards. cant rule out one more possible low so anything near or under 20 is a great buy. I suspect this company will catch up and out perform other companies during the next up leg.

Yes. I hold a small number of shares of an index fund (IVV), and also can see a chart of my performance against S&P500 and S&P500/TSX Composite in my webbroker. YTD, my USD account is mediocre (performing just under index), my CAD account is significantly outperforming index.

I think it's critical to make this comparison. If I could make more money just dumping my funds into an index ETF, sure as hell I would do that, it's way easier.

after hitting a short term top yesterday I think gold is taking a breather before it can move higher.

while it has produced a low level abc (correction) and has broken out this morning with some momentum to the upside. it is now a wait and see how much strength it has when NY opens.

I suspect the overall gold market in the short term is quite positive. and as long as the bottom for gold does not suddenly fall out (under 1320) the longer we linger at these prices 1330+, the more momentum it will gain in the weeks ahead.

if gold cannot muster enough strength to breakout to a higher high or even test the all important 1350, then we may be still witnessing a longer abc correction.

My eyes are current watching the 1330 area as there is a double support/fib level with a rising 200EMA that will soon support it underneath.

once gold hits 1350, we will know if we are going to get a breakout or a false one sending this sector back down.

personally I just want gold go close the week above 1333 that can setup the technical buying next week.

a quick update on the US dollar.

while I am suspicious on gold's advance and keeping an open mind that we could still see an under cut low before it embarks on a big rally.

it can also hold true that just when everyone including myself technically believes in a lower low in gold, gold then finally breaks out strongly to the upside.

in a scenario where the breakout occurs now. then the US dollar (see chart) will have to breakdown immediately.

looking back ever since it made a double top at 100 last year. due to rate hike hype. every rally has been counter trend and broken to the down side with impulsive fashion.

we had a 50/200 EMA deathcross sending the US dollar into bear market territory back in April. and every since dollar was sold at every major fib retracement target and neckline backtesting.

a large H&S pattern has also been spotted.

and now the time is ripe and the technical setup is there for it to break down as count wise it is now in a major 1-2, I-II, i-ii

aside from short term currency intervention, manipulation and reaction to positive US news, I want to see the US dollar tank sharply like now would be a good time.

so let the show begin

well the chart pattern for miners looks very bearish today. if gold doesnt make an aggressive assault immediately the next big swing for miner is to the down side.

perhaps gold heading to 1330 would be the right call

gdx has reached the 61% fib level off the low from Pre-FOMC. completely given back all the gains.

if this level does not hold, then the wave C under 25 may have started sooner than I thought.

it could be a case of too many expecting the higher high wave c of B (above 28.68) and when it got close enough, big money just bailed.

gold is still relatively steady despite miners are weak. It will be interesting to see who is leading who here.

if gold can remain between the 1330-1340 until next week, a sudden breakout could change things very quickly.

although I may not write off the rally in miners just yet.

looking at this, so far it appears to be a clear cut backtest from the breakout. count wise, I do not see it technically damaged until price closes back under 26.40

I'm not in LABD yet, because I think there is potential to get in Monday sometime before the debate. But mainly I look at XBI and I see a short term pullback at the very least for a short term play with LABD.

And as you said, went up pretty fast and I believe when Hillary opens her mouth Monday night, this may be the catalyst to push LABD up a couple bucks.

At the very least, I see a great opportunity today/Monday for entry. And depending what happens, I might just exit on Tuesday or Wednesday if I'm happy with results.

I missed the low of the day today, so unless there is a selloff before markets closed to under $15.50, I'm going to wait until Monday.

LABD is still clearly in a down trend, but looking at this, I think there is a good shot at $20 if the bottom is in today or Monday:

while gold technically looks good to start the week, miners isnt as healthy as most are calling the recent rise wave c of B topped near 28.5 for gdx

the current outlook is suppose to be a wave C low under 25. so I hope everyone is prepared for this scenario.

personally I am still leaning towards a more bullish scenario given too many analyst is calling for this drop and so I want to believe in the fact that the market will do the opposite. Even if there is a drop under 25, my suspicion would be that it could bottom in around 24 instead. Trying to figure out what is the best path to cause maximum pain by disrupting both longs and shorts.

Dumped all JNUG today and re-bought a partial position$1.50 lower.

Feels nice to have entry in the 18s instead of trying to average down from 22. If GDX does make it down to 25, I'll be loading the boat.

SilverRex
09-27-2016, 06:52 AM
gold has finally about to test the 1330 area I mention a few days ago, amid taking a bit longer than I hoped. with gold opening lower possible dragging miners down to start. Must be gut wrenching time for those that are over exposed and trapped in the market at higher prices. (personally thanks to a couple of good swing trades and staying no more than 25% leveraged has helped me stay pretty stressful as gold continues to work off it's correction before the next rally.

Looking at this, I have to say, gold really needs to find support in around the 1330 area simply because there are a confluence of support here.

sloping channel line, 200 EMA, 38% level, previous resistance turned into support.

while I am not concern technically unless gold closes below 1320, it looks as though it still needs to make one more wave higher over 1342.

I took a big loss on MEG 8-9 months ago. Don't know what I was doing holding it in the first place... Sold it and have made that up and then some shorting oil. The lesson I learned is trying to time jumps/drops when you know the overall trend is going the opposite direction is just stupid.

Same. That's why I'm sticking in. I still feel oil, although largely sideways the last few months, is still in an up trend. I do think we see $50+ within a year, and I will hold until then.

Doing the same with BTE (Baytex). Thought I was being all slick putting in low-ish limit orders, but it has gone down significantly since then.

I have about 10g cash lying around that I'm super tempted to dump into BTE or MEG. It can't get much lower than it is now. Can it?!!? (I thought that last time when I bought BTE for 6, and it is now sitting at 4.9

as for oil. last week I suspected that oil price would bounce off the uptrend line and with a lower level reverse h&s pattern the next move 'should' be to the upside with a chance to test the 48-49 area.

I just did not realize it moved into this on the backs of Opec's bullish outcome. So which is it, is it all technical or was it the news? it often amazes me how more often than not, news actually fulfills the technical targets like it has 1 quick step ahead of it in anticipation.

a month ago I have stop paying attention to oil for the lack of direction and was expecting it to continue consolidate sideways which it is doing.

but yesterday's news has really given oil longs some hope for a potential breakout move.
Some bullish charts I have seen are calling this the catalyst for a breakout move and finally a chance for oil to push towards 60+

until I see such evidence of oil price breaking out of the consolidation a healthy backtest that does not translate into weakness (aka breaking below wave pt 'b') then I may increase my exposure in this sector.

otherwise based on a counter trend corrective rally approach where wave A often = C we could potentially be looking at a false breakout move.

I only have a 7% stake in energy. and may cash out as soon as oil breaks the trendline and will wait for further confirmation before jumping back in.

I was discussing the followign with a buddy recently...

On something thats as volatile as JNUG, what do you define as a "tight" stop? It can swing 10% in a matter of a few minutes, despite not breaking out (or breaking down). I usually don't set stops on these for that reason (unless i'm going to be away from the comp, and i set a conservative stop loss if I'm in the green)

50% cash and scouting the next opportunity. Miners, oil and bio all felt more like "sure things" earlier this year. We've hit indecisive territory on all of them, and I'm not good at playing the smaller shorter term movements until some decent ranges are established.

spotting some negative divergences on oil. dumped all my energy share this morning essentially a wash for me. I will take the chance to buy back lower if not it only means more cash for me to buy if the drop in miners in the coming weeks unfold accordingly.

I always stay on the ride too long.

I got in on MEG averaging about $5.30, rode it up to $6.50, and back down to $4.72, adding to my position too many times and eating my cash.

Getting out at $5.90 feels not too bad at all.

If this was this was a major 1-2 setup since February, I'll regret this, but looking at oil charts from the 80s and 90s we have plenty of years to ride things up and down.

looks like we have a bit of equilibrium going on here for gold. I just need it to close above 1324 that extra push could set off the next rally, so who wants to give them a nudge.

it definitely feels like miners are hanging around waiting for gold's next good move higher

On something thats as volatile as JNUG, what do you define as a "tight" stop? It can swing 10% in a matter of a few minutes, despite not breaking out (or breaking down). I usually don't set stops on these for that reason (unless i'm going to be away from the comp, and i set a conservative stop loss if I'm in the green)

I'm in meetings constantly at work so I can't monitor it. To me a tight stop is ~1%. I'm willing to risk getting stopped out and it soaring in rather than not being able to action it then coming back -10%

gold especially silver is looking mighty this morning. Hope we end the week on a very high note and enjoy the weekend

"
U.S. consumer spending in August turned in the weakest performance in five months, reflecting a drop in spending on autos. Income growth also slowed in August as wages and salary gains were smaller following four strong months.

The Commerce Department says that consumer spending was unchanged last month after solid gains of 0.4 percent in July and 0.3 percent in June. It was the poorest showing since a flat reading in March.

Personal incomes rose 0.2 percent last month, just half the gain in July. It was the weakest income performance since a 0.1 percent drop in February. Wages and salaries, the biggest income category, were up just 0.1 percent after two months of 0.5 percent increases."

not saying this is a sure fire thing. and despite gold's sudden reversal continue to hold down the miners.

here is an interest way to look at the gdx miners.

notice how when volume is extremely weak and falls under the red line shown here. it usually follows a spike in prices in the coming days.

it worked majority of the time except 1 I think and we could be on the verge of closing with extreme low volume again today.

considering I am still expecting a rise towards 28 in the 5 pt wave pattern. My bet remains to the upside first before it falls.

right now clearly miner is out performing gold. despite gold being down, miners are virtually side ways. if only gold can do it's part and move a few dollars higher would ignite the sector

gold down but miners have a slight positive buying, probably due to new month with investor funds seeking value play.

however with all the talk of gdx heading down to 22 and even 18 now I hear, be prepare for this scenario as market loves to shake everyone out before a big move.

if we see gold drop to the 1260-1270 area that could be an extremely great buying level.

although from experience, it feels a bit too easy for everyone to expect gold to just keep dropping without a big rally.

I rather see a false breakout move as market loves to mess with both longs and shorts.

Natgas is a good play but you have to stomach the volatility. with places getting cold and winter upon us. I think natgas has good potential.

I have 1 position, and may add another if it drops more from here.

personally I was hoping gdx still moving within the triangle pattern, the rally last week was very weak and cannot even make it 2/3 to test the upper channel. wave E typically can fail at the 2/3 level, but we did not even achieve that.

with gold making lower lows, it has not helped the miners one bit. it is now right back at the bottom of the channel. a close below 26 would probably mean lower low for gdx is underway.

however, contrary to everyone now calling for gdx to at least hit 22. I am going to play the contrarian factor and suggest if gdx breaks down this week, the 24 area makes for the perfect landing spot. I will convert some holdings over to Jnug if this level is reached.

Right after I posted that it showed signs of a bottom.

I screwed up, was in at 15.80, but bailed at 16 after it was looking flat on low volume.

Had to re-enter higher, average 16.36.

If it does drop lower, I'll just double up.

hold onto your seat belt here comes the break under 1300,

it is clear that gold has moved out of the rising channel. very weak for the short term, we will now see if the bottom of the flag continues and see if gold will bounce off 1297 area.

price is oversold as well so we will see if gold wants to test 1260-70 now or wait for another day.

as I have said, the general technical outlook for gold is a test of the 200EMA and gdx down to the 22 area. my personally believe is a false breakdown or an under cut low with gdx near 24

well we've been thru these kind of swings too often, not easy to time the market, so having cash to relatively scale in on each significant drop is the best approach imo.

i am fully invested but only with 15% Jnug. will begin buying another large position if gdx hits my magic number near gdx 24. and if it does head lower to 22 as some analyst is calling (which I will be surprised but not shocked either) will start converting my core holders into leverage.

with gold now having a strong sell off candle, a typical safe play is to wait until gold makes a swing low and stabilizes like it did similar to back in May.

SilverRex
10-04-2016, 07:49 AM
if anyone hasnt noticed, many big mining stocks like abx, auy, kgc, ag, gg are hitting their 200 day moving average this morning.

so we will see if this is where the funds begin to load up. It is still possible if we follow the 2008 bull market path, miners can put in an under cut low this week considering we have broken the late august low to fulfill the lower low drop and possible divergence to occur if price swing back up.

EOD today and this week will be telling

SilverRex
10-04-2016, 08:07 AM
we are like 20 cents away from gdx testing the 38% fib level which I think it hasnt done all year.
with the rising neckline just under neath which I am trying to guess, this could be potentially the very first good bottoming area.

again majority of the technical analyst I follow are still calling gdx down to at least the 22 area. can it be that simple? I am placing my bets near gdx 24 as any timing mistake at this juncture will be corrected and recovered much easily than those who over exposed themselves at the top. I cant imagine how those still holding gdx near 30 are feeling right now

Done and done. Looks like I was onto something yesterday. Fear of missing the big up move caused me to bail on my plan to wait for one more drop.

Would have been nice to scale in starting here, but oh well. As it drops, it every new position is that much cheaper and being I was sitting 60% cash before this, lots of opportunity to add all the way down and negate early losses.

I'm definately over exposed with JNUG.
Selling now is just as stupid as loading up heavy in the beginning. It just looks like there is no bottom

is 22 even the bottom??
