Leave a reply

Major downtrend and intermediate downtrend for natural gas. Near-term uptrend will meet heavy resistance at the 40-week moving average. A break above this average would indicate a test at $2.50. Natural gas has a long way to go before it is out of the woods.

Retest for iShares Nasdaq Biotechnology ETF (IBB)

Leave a reply

I published this daily candlestick chart for IBB to highlight a couple of principles in technical analysis. First, the reversal of roles is an important concept in technical analysis. The $270 resistance point is now support. Second, a retest of the breakout point is common before the stock resumes the near-term uptrend. But, these are guidelines. Everything in technical analysis is about probabilities. A break below support of $270 would change the whole technical picture.

West Texas Intermediate will test major support at $35

Leave a reply

The spigots are wide open. The major trend is down, the intermediate trend is down and the near-term trend just turned down. WTI will test major support at $35. The near-term downtrend in the U.S. dollar should be a plus for WTI but right now traders are concentrating on supply news out of the Middle East.

Barrick Gold 3-year weekly chart

Leave a reply

The candlestick chart for Barrick Gold shows support at $17 which is near the 50-day moving average. A break below $17 would have some tentative support at $16. After that, it would be an elevator ride down to $12 near the 200-day moving average. I just published a chart for gold showing the $1200 support zone. A break for gold below $1200 would presage a break below $17 for Barrick Gold.

Copper 6-month daily chart

Leave a reply

The break below the lateral trading band for copper indicates a major test at the (2.14 – 2.15) support zone. This is one of the many charts I have published on copper. Reference the post on March 20, 2016. The price of copper underpins the recent rally in mining stocks. Copper is also a proxy for the overall view on the the direction of the world economy: particularly the view on China. Copper has an inverse relationship with the U.S. dollar but in the end it is the perceived  supply and demand balance that determines the price for copper.
