The View from 5,000 Feet

As a market technician, sometimes I gotta just turn the TV off and look at the charts.  I know something is going to happen around 10 am tomorrow, so I might be watching the price action around that time if I’m available.  But I won’t be looking for immediate price [...]

CCI (commodities due for a correction?)

2011-05-03T18:42:01-04:00May 3, 2011|

Commodities have been on an absolute tear since Dec 2008 with a return of around 89% on the CCI over that span.  However, this market may finally see a correction.  The market just recently tested the March 7th high and has sold off since.  It took 7 days from the [...]

Cotton has been on an impressive up move since mid 2010 appreciating over 150%.  However, we are starting to see some signs of a possible H&DS top forming.  The chart shows the Left Shoulder, Head, and Right Shoulder have all formed.  We are now just waiting for confirmation, which would [...]
