Ftse pitchforks









I added the candle chart this morning....2 haramis,today's a bearish hammer,I think Ftse will start to follow the Nikkei down soon
http://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/2013/jul/29/poll-nsa-surveillance-privacy-pew

quote :

 "If I had to pick the most astonishing aspect of this episode so far, it would be that everyone now knows that the Obama administration's top national security official, Director of National Intelligence James Clapper, outright lied to the Senate about NSA programs. And yet - as I said on ABC yesterday morning - not only isn't he being prosecuted for that crime - as much of a crime as anything Edward Snowden is accused of doing - but he still has his job. That, of course, is because the "law" does not apply to high-level Washington officials and DC's National Security State is an accountability-free zone. But the law that makes Clapper's behavior a felony is clear and concise, and can be read here."

monthly candle chart looks great


Euro


Dow 4 times the base

I updated the 3 times the base chart I posted on the Dow a while back and noticed we are finding resistance at 4x the base.Watch to see if either we firmly reject this level (which would also be a double top) or if it breaks clear,signalling higher levels



this is gold with the 600 point range from 1800 to 1200 circle numbers and a yearly cycle off the high and Gann angles.The arrows are just a guess of one possible roadmap based on the cycles,angles and my thought that any bottom would likely be some kind of IHS
 Sticking with Gann's circle numbers if we take the range from the high as 720 (approximating 1920-1200) and convert it to time this is 2 years (720 degrees time) which could give a time pivot in early September.

These are NOT forecasts,just my best guess at a roadmap at the current time and a bit of fun :-)

I would read this chart as a having given an early  sell signal yesterday

Friday 26 July 2013

Japanese kiss benefits of price stability goodbye: item by item, prices of consumer goods are going up, anywhere from soaring to creeping. On one end of the price increase spectrum are digital cameras (up 61%), TVs (up 33%), Windows 8 PCs (up 23%) from their lows of 2012, on stagnating sales volume! On the other end of the spectrum, leading dairy products maker Meiji announced that it would raise prices on 16 milk products by 1% to 4% on October 1. Raw-milk prices, negotiated between producers and buyers every fiscal year, will increase by ¥5 per kilogram at the same time. Meiji’s competitors are expected to match those price increases. Missing link in this equation: wage increases. But somebody has to pay for Abenomics.

S&P

we do have divergence and a sell signal on macd



2hr chart looks weak


watching to see if we spike back above the offset 3 dma and pierce 1700.If we do a subsequent break of the ma should be a good sell signal. We could have a top already but I would prefer to have seen a more violent reversal,or a long tail,as at the last top

NEM

I have marked a 3rd bottom but this needs to be confirmed.Trendlines through a gap often mark support and if this is a 3rd bottom we should accelerate higher. I posted the setup with Gann support levels a few weeks ago and so far it is holding.We are above the moving aves,which is positive

Kimble chart


http://www.peakprosperity.com/insider/82432/bankers-own-world

some interesting stuff on concentration of power in the corporate world.Recall Ron Paul's speech where he claimed the US was turning into a "corporate fascist state"

"Today the top fifty companies in the 'super-entity' list of 147 from the above study is concerning. Out of the fifty, 17 are banks, 31 are an assortment of investment, insurance, and financial services companies, and only 2 are non-financial companies (Walmart and China Petrochemical)"
early sell signal ? today's high would be the stop


Gold

If we can break the previous 2 lows and confirm with a HL then it could be some kind of head of IHS is forming.As it is there is much resistance here. The wild card is the high level of shorts ...


Dax

just playng around with some measured moves and cycles (4 and 24 month) No sell signal yet though


Trader Dan...gold and "Washington crap"

I do think a decent correction is imminent but this is a good quote (from Trader Dan) to bear in mind

"As long as the US Dollar is the whipping boy of the Forex markets, as it has been of late, bears will have their work cut out for them. We might very well be seeing the market shift back to focusing on the budget battle once again in the US. The government will be up against its borrowing limit soon and that means more of the usual crap that comes out of Washington.!

this wave count may be wrong but just looking at the candles I am not convinced we have seen the low yet. Maybe it needs to retrace 61.% ?

“An international monetary system dominated by a single sovereign sovereign currency has intensified the concentration of risk and the spread of the crisis.” — People’s Bank of China (2009)
It should go without saying that China and Russia have designs to end the U.S. Dollar hegemony free ride. This is fundamental to understand and will be a game changer. The impacts on the standard of living of these players will be profound and especially negative for the U.S. How and in what manner this plays out is the question. I strongly believe that the answer lies in two parts: letting the U.S. put a noose around its own neck and then at the appropriate time, kicking the chair out from under it.

looks like very limited upside here given the overthrow of the Gann line and bollinger band.Even if this is a huge bull market a decent retracement seems likely soon
