It was another interesting Fed meeting and statement that caused some serious volatility in the markets to end the week. No doubt a risk off trade has developed as yields fell …

March 22, 2019 Chris Vermeulen TheTechnicalTraders.com The Russell 2000 ETF continues to deliver critical technical and longer-term price patterns for skilled technicians. Combining the IWM chart with the Transportation Index, Oil, Gold, and others provide a very clear picture of what to expect in the immediate future. Recently, we posted a research article about the Head-n-Shoulders pattern setting up in the $INDU. Again, the IWM chart is also showing a very clear Head-n-Shoulders pattern with critical resistance near $159.50 and support near $144.25. Our researchers, at Technical Traders Ltd., believe this right Shoulder will prompt a downside market move towards support near $144.25 before a downward sloping wedge pattern sets up. This first downward price leg will setup and congesting wedge formation that will, eventually, break to the upside and drive market prices higher. We authored a research article about this pattern setup on February 17, 2019. Skilled traders watch all the charts to assist them in identifying characteristics that can assist them in understanding price moves, key support/resistance levels, and price patterns. This IWM chart should be on everyone’s radar at the moment. Where the IWM finds support, so will the other US stock market indexes. WEEKLY IWM RUSSELL 2000 INDEX PATTERN The IWM setup indicates we may only see a 5~7% downside price swing before support is found. We’ll have to watch how this plays out over the next few weeks/months to determine if the $144.25 level is true support or if the lower $137.00 level … Continue reading →

You can call me lucky if you want, I don’t care. I am only out to become wealthy in the next two years. If you choose to sit out this coming rally you will have no one to blame but yourself, but don’t tell your spouse as they will surely disown you, if you miss this opportunity. This is Dudley Pierce Baker, the editor of http://JuniorMiningNews.com and http://CommonStockWarrants.com and I believe we are on the verge of a major move up in the resource sector. Timing is everything in the markets and the timing seems to be on our side for resource investors. The next two years are being talked about now by several newsletter writers and even by Jim Cramer (CNBC) as an excellent time to being investing in the precious resource sector. In a few years, some investors will think they are smart as heck when if fact they are just lucky to have been invested in the resource sector at this particular time. So, timing will prove the expression correct, that ‘it is better to be lucky than to be smart’. The important take away for you as an investor is that the stage has been set (bottoms are in and bases built) and the next two years may well present investors with an explosive rally in silver, gold, copper and possibly uranium. Simon Constable writing for TheStreet.com, Why It’s a Good Time to Invest in Copper has an interview with Jim Cramer on Freeport-McMoRan: Prices Are Exploding. I … Continue reading →

March 17, 2019 Chris Vermeulen Technical Traders Ltd. It’s been years since the gold and silver topped out in 2011. We have been waiting for a new bottom form and a new bull market to emerge for nearly 8 years. In this article, I’m going to compare palladium, gold, platinum, and silver and show you which of these precious metals I feel is the best long-term investment and also the best trade for 2019. The analysis presented below is based on technical analysis using previous significant highs, and Fibonacci extensions. Both of these techniques work exceptionally well for predicting price targets both to the upside and also price corrections to the downside. If you have never used Fibonacci retracement or extensions in your trading I highly recommend learning more about them. I have no doubt it will improve your market price projection targets for your investments. I have found this technique to be the number one best trading tool for projecting future price movements in all asset classes. The charts below will show to price forecasts for each metal. The first price target is based on the previous significant high that price made between 2000 and the current timeframe. Previous significant highs are typically the first target for the price to reach and that is also our first major upside target for these metals. The second price target I use is based on Fibonacci extensions using stand out lows formed anywhere between 2002 to the current price time and … Continue reading →

COUNTDOWN TO THE PRECIOUS METALS BREAKOUT RALLY March 14, 2019 If you have been following our research over the past few months, you already know that we’ve called just about every major move in Gold over the past 14+ months. Recently, we called for Gold to rally to $1300 area, establish a minor peak, stall and retrace back to setup a momentum base pattern. We predicted this move to take place back in January 2019 – nearly 30+ days before it happened. Now, we are publishing this research post to alert you that we are about 15~30 days away from the momentum base setup in Gold which will likely mirror in Silver. Thus, we have about 20+ days to look for and target entry opportunities in both Gold and Silver before this momentum bottom/base sets up. This Monthly Gold chart, below, shows you the historic peaks that make up a current resistance level near 1370. This level is critical in understanding how the momentum base and following breakout will occur. This resistance level must be broken before the upside rally can continue above $1400, then $1500. Ultimately, the momentum base we are expecting for form before April 21 is the “last base” to setup before a much bigger upside price move takes place. In other words, pay attention over the next 30 days before this move happens. This next Monthly Silver chart is the real gem of the precious metals world. The upside potential for Silver is actually much … Continue reading →

Chris Vermeulen Technical Traders Ltd. The US stock market opened today with mixed opening prices. The crash of the Ethiopian Boeing passenger jet prompted selling in the Blue Chips, particularly in Boeing (BA). As of right now, the US stock markets have recovered quite well and have pushed higher by mid-day. We believe this upward rotation may be short-lived and want to highlight the two Engulfing Bearish candlestick patterns that have formed recently. The first, near the October 2018 highs, prompted a very deep price correction that ended on December 24, 2018. The more recent, completed just on March 8, 2019, is setting up resistance just above recent highs ($175.95) and is still a very valid sell signal for the QQQ. Unless the price is able to breach the $175.95 level over the next few weeks, this Engulfing Bearish candlestick pattern is technically the key pattern driving future expectations for the price. Our February 17th research, “Get Ready For A Breakout Pattern Setup”, highlighted our expectations that the US Stock market would set up a larger Pennant formation with downward rotation near current levels. This setup has, historically, been prominent in the markets and has setup larger upside breakout moves in the past. We still believe this pattern is setting up and that downside price MUST take place before any new upside momentum breakout can begin to unfold. Our belief is that today’s upside price move will falter throughout this week and prices will continue to decrease as the price … Continue reading →

March 10, 2019 Chris Vermeulen Technical Traders March 10, 2019 March 8th, 2019 may gain some level of infamy over the next few decades. There were two big numbers released on this day, the current Chinese economic data and the US Jobs data for February 2019. Both numbers fell drastically lower than analysts expected and the global stock markets dropped in pre-market trading by more than 1%. Yet, something very interesting transpired through the trading day – a recovery rally. The Chinese economic data was particularly devastating. It leads our researchers to ask a very critical question, “is this going to be an orderly contraction or is this contraction going to extend into more chaos?” Our research team believes the economic contraction in China will extend out into much of Asia and nations participating in the Belt Road Initiative (BRI) over the next 3~6+ months. We believe a natural progression of “protectionist processes” will begin to take place throughout many of these nations as the money spigot from China dries up. We believe this credit contraction and economic downturn will result in an extended repositioning of priorities, assets, and valuations throughout most of SE Asia and India. It could extend into certain areas in Europe and Arabic nations. (Source: Bloomberg Finance L.P.) The economic data released by China points to a very real and excessive economic contraction. YoY Exports reported as -16.6% vs. expected +6.6%. YoY imports reported at -0.3% vs. +6.2%. Trade Balance reported as … Continue reading →
