$GLD $SLV Gold/Siver is trading up around levels that have tended to lead to significant silver outperformance on a relative basis. However, watching the prevailing trend in the gold-silver ratio also provides some clues as to the performance of silver on a absolute basis. On the chart, marked are the three previous cases when the gold-silver ratio has broken...
Pattern currently looks to target 2.66. Below recent lows of 1.63 would negate.
Some consolidation in the shaded area may set up a long entry for a move to $1400. Would also allow for 200 day MA to start to turn up while working off some shorter term overbought readings.
$CL_F $NG_F On a both a relative basis with oil and on an absolute price basis, natural gas is trying to complete a false breakdown. Going forward look for nat gas to significantly outperform oil.
Possible bullish crab forming on GDX. Pattern targets 17-17.25 as PRZ. This area also lines up well with previous support/resistance.
$CL_F It is likely that the bearish cypher pattern on oil has now been completed. As such I am expecting a minimum pull back to the .382 level or around $32. This lines up well with the previous down trend line and is likely the next reasonable buying opportunity.
Look likes potential target of $35.5. Would complete bearish cypher pattern if reached. Price target also lines up with some long term downtrend lines.
SPY has a shot at 195-197 before sustained moved below 180.
My bias is more for oil up than gold down over the coming months .$CL_F $GC_F $SPY
Some levels to watch. Things may be tilting a little too much one way.
15 week moving average of New highs minus new lows for NYSE. Readings below zero not been kind for SPY.
Maybe need a month or two yet for both, but next leg for both dollar and oil looks higher.
A look at the variance in price to the 200 day moving average. Around these levels of variance in the past have presented great opportunities to be long.
Performance of the S&P Sectors since 1999. Some might be surprised to see that despite the recent carnage in energy, the 17 yr return on Energy XLE (185%) is only currently outdone by Consumer Discretionary XLY (198%) and is still ahead of Healthcare XLV (163%) for now. However, looking at the next 5-10 yrs it seem very reasonable to expect XLE to underperform...

In November of 2014, the DOW transports recorded the 4th instance of a monthly RSI close above 80 coming in at 86. Recently the DOWT found support at previous resistance measured...
Updated look at a previous chart of the NYSE New High minus New Lows. Displayed on the chart is the 15 day moving average. The 15 day average recently has turned lower at a similar point as in 2011. In 2011 after turning lower, SPY went on to make a new low for that pullback. Whether a 2011 type correction or something much larger is coming, the NH's-NL's...
The Yen is sitting near an important trend line going back to late 70's. Could be near an important turning point. A break in the current downtrend similar to 90' and 98' could be the start of an extended rally in the yen. FXY is the corresponding ETF to watch.
