Resource Sector on Rise

The stock market is looking good. This week several of the U.S. stock indices hit 2- to 6-month highs, and they’re all back above their key moving averages. This tells us that stocks are going to rise further. Plus, the Dow Theory triggered a new bull market signal on Monday. As Dow Theory expert Richard Russell points out, by simultaneously breaking above their June highs, the Dow Industrials and Dow Transportations are now signaling that the stock market trend is up. And since our own leading indicators have room to rise further, stocks will likely continue to head higher at least in the months ahead. For now, the Dow Industrials will remain very strong above 10400. Most of our recommended stocks are rising and we expect they’ll move much higher, along with the general market. Keep your current positions.

The resource sector is strong. Copper and the other base metals are on the rise, while our resource shares are rebounding nicely, (see chart). Even uranium rose this week, closing at an almost nine month high today. This sector rises when the global economy shows potential and copper is the barometer. Copper closed at a 2 ½ month high today, it’s in a solid uptrend above $2.92 and it’s strong above $3.08. Keep your positions. Crude is following; it’s strong above $76 and it’s in a solid rise above $73.50. Oil above $80 would show great strength.

Financials, Oil & Gold on the Move

Most traders I have been talking with are feeling the same thing. Something big is brewing for the equities market but most do not want to get heavily involved until there is a clear direction. The broad market has been consolidating for almost 3 months and it’s important to remember that the larger the consolidation the bigger the move.

Also the biggest and best moves come from failed patterns. So is the big head & shoulders pattern on the SP500 which everyone is yelling about (the sky is falling) really going to happen or is this the BIG fake out? Only time will tell, either way no matter which way it goes I will be sure to catch some of it.

Below area few charts pointing out patterns and trends which could provide some opportunity in the coming days or weeks.

XLF – Financial Sector ETF
Financials play a large roll in moving the major indexes so if this reverse head and shoulders patter breaks out to the upside then the indexes should rally and XLF etf could reach its measured move of $16.50.

S&P 500 Head shoulders bottom

USO – Crude Oil Fund
Crude oil almost looked like it was going to breakout and mover higher this week but sellers jumped in sending it lower once again. The daily chart shows a large bearish pennant which is known as a continuation pattern. So it looks as though we should see lower pricCrude Oil es for oil.

 

GLD – Gold Bullion ETF
Gold has been sliding lower for several weeks now and it looks to be showing selling exhaustion. The 5th wave down with the volume spike indicates panic selling as investors cannot hold onto those positions any longer and exit. This is a bullish sign for gold. Also we are seeing gold fall deep into a support level along with the 200 day moving average.

Gold Bullish

Mid-Week Financial, Oil and Gold Trading Conclusion:
In short, the equities market is in limbo until a clear trend is established. If the financial sector breaks out to the upside then we should see a sizable rally. As for oil it looks to be trading in near the middle of its range but is still in a down trend overall. Gold is almost looking ready for a bounce but I am waiting for more confirmation before jumping on the wagon.
