the “Ray Charles” count on BIDU

counting waves is hard … you have to develop your eye and you have to figure out when to trust a count or just let it go and “hope” (a strategy) that the count will show itself.  I particularly like counts on long term monthly type of charts.  simply,  all the noise is filtered out […]

More Pumpkin Soup … added a new ingredient to the recipe: GOOG.

classic or not that certainly proved to NOT be a head and shoulders neckline but a launching pad for a SATURN 5 and kaboom it exploded.  as you can imagine the short well, took it on the chin to say the least: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=05PKG_pWsVY ! Howard (Founder/CEO of Stocktwits) commented “as for me, I’ll stay long.”  WELL PLAYED […]

Plotting the next move in fixed income …

fixed income has bounced rather nicely and now the big question is “are we going to go to new highs?” 1.5 years ago, as fixed income flirted w/ the all time highs for 5 months we correctly saw multiple correlations that put the sell pattern present in context … http://allstarcharts.com/are-interest-rates-at-a-key-inflection-point/ from there, the bonds fell […]

Part 1 was a look around the world at different equity indices based on ETF’s: https://bartscharts.com/2013/09/14/part-1-the-sp-500-but-first-we-need-to-go-around-the-world/ of note is the Global Equity ETF (ACWI) and the SELL pattern that is appearing as we showed in our last “around the world” update shown below.

the Shutdown and the US Dollar

my first post was almost two months ago and it concerned the US Dollar: https://bartscharts.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/08/august-20-2013-us-dollar.png  and then it was updated: https://bartscharts.com/2013/10/01/dollar-index-done-or-correcting-or-a-little-lower/ we probed the lower level but never quite reached my area that I had been watching for two months as the place to attempt the long on the USD versus either the EURO or the POUND.  this […]

Gold/Silver Index … continuing the thread

here’s the previous Gold/Silver Index posts: https://bartscharts.com/2013/10/03/gold-silver-index-a-guide-for-the-yellow-brick-road/ so, as you can see the geometry is sure starting to unfold for a “double bottom” type of scenario and then, potentially, higher.  If you read my Gold posts https://bartscharts.com/2013/09/07/good-as-gold-part-1-of-2/  https://bartscharts.com/2013/09/08/good-as-gold-part-2-of-2/ then you’ll see how I’m looking for one more move lower on the Gold to set up […]
