Financials Show Strength

Posted on November 21, 2013 by macromon

We noted a few days ago the bullish cup and handle formation in the financials (XLF).   This is one of our favorite charts and strength/leadership in the financials will bode well for the overall market into year end.

The XLF is set up for measured move higher of 5-6 percent.  We’re playing it with the leveraged ETF.

Could be wrong and a break of $21 negates the trade.   Always with a stop, sports fans!

Gold Breaking Down

Posted on November 20, 2013 by macromon

Gold is down about $16 today and is below some key support.   The set-up is bearish and a little follow through here could lead to another 5-10 percent of downside.

Gold should have rocked on QE3 and hasn’t.   In fact, contrary to expectations on the Fed’s monetary stimulus., the whole commodity complex has been a dog.

We’re short gold and have been burned many times as it can rip on nut cracking covering.    Always with a stop.
