Daily Spot… – If, Then… Market Timing

Daily Spot…

By Rod David | July 30, 2018 - 2:35 pm

A daily summary of high-profile members of several complexes… View a more detailed discussion of each chart at the end of today’s Market Wrap.

Eurodollar Sep Contract (EC, ETF: (FXE, UUP))
Gapping back up to the new 1.1725 buy signal Monday extended quickly to touch the 1.1755 old buy signal. Closing above 1.1765 would help to confirm that last week’s pullback had reversed up, targeting 1.1850.

Gold Aug Contract (GC, ETF: (GLD))
Monday’s inside day avoided touching either the 1227.50 or 1217.00 buy and sell signals. Still not rejecting the dip into Friday’s open does keep live the downside momentum.

Silver Sep Contract (SI, ETF: (SLV))
Narrowly ranging Monday avoided touching either of the buy or sell signals at 15.60 and 15.40, respectively. Still not rejecting the dip into Friday’s open does keep alive the downside momentum.

30-year Treasury Sep Contract (US, ETF: (TLT))
Last week ended choppily within the range, which I pointed out was not to be confused with stability. Sunday night’s weakness extended to fresh relative lows. Monday’s gap down was retraced back up to prior lows, continuing the pattern of “ineffectual optimism” that has been bearish from a contrarian perspective.

Crude Oil Sep Contract (CL, ETF: (USO, USL) (UWTI-long, DWTI-short))
Friday’s dip to the 68.33 pullback limit was already resolving Sunday night — by firming, and then surging into Monday’s open through the 69.25 buy signal. Already testing 70.00 resistance still has potential up to 71.75 simply as a correction.

Natural Gas Sep Contract (NG, ETF: (UNG, UNL))
Gapping up another couple of cents Monday to 2.81 suggests the bounce is extending. There is no requirement to fulfill higher objectives, so not rejecting Monday’s higher close immediately Tuesday would make the rally likely to extend.
