$IWM Russell 2000 Resting on Heavy Support

Today, IWM gapped down at the open right at 155.52, and pin-pricked swiftly and deeply right through all three levels of support - an alignment of the 50-day moving average, 200-day moving average, and 61.8% Fibonacci retracement - before recovering and closing green on the day (see chart at the very top). The price action...

$WTI $CL Oil Update: Channel Breakdown

I have updated the trend channel (green) from the original post with a new channel (blue) that has formed as a result of last week's break. I closed my long positions on the break of the channel. The move also violated the 200-day moving average and the 50-day moving average in overnight trading.

Silver has been consolidating into a bullish falling wedge, but is now pressing up against falling channel resistance, horizontal resistance (prior support) and the 200-day moving average. This triple resistance is a formidable Maginot line.

$DXY Dollar Decision Time: Up or Down from Here?

The Dollar Index ($DXY) has been attempting to break the 98 Level for two years, pushing up against it five (!) times before finally breaking through (albeit briefly) the last week in April. The 98 level is significant also because it represents the 61.8% Fibonacci retracement from the January 2017 peak to the February 2018...

$WTI $CL Oil Bulls Still in Control

Despite the fierce drop in oil last Friday, I am still of the opinion that the trend remains up. As long as the oil price remains above $59, I would argue that bulls are in charge. The chart above depicts the trend channel that oil has been trading in since breaking out from the lows.

Koyfin: No Stickers Required

I find it entirely mystifying that a large percentage of us are still monitoring market data using archaic GUIs that are relics of the Reagan administration. Seriously. Why do so many platforms still have Atari graphics and antiquated interfaces?

S&P500 vs. Copper Ratio Breaking Out

The S&P500 is trading at all-time highs relative to commodities. The commodities sector is therefore an attractive area to investigate for relative value and the potential for outperformance versus equities. In my research, the most compelling chart is the ratio of the S&P 500 to copper (a.k.a "Doctor Copper").
