Metals – October 20, 2024

gold and silver approaching/ at KEY sell patterns. The “p’s” looking like they are getting to run higher – Palladium and Platinum

Some very interesting and potential significant PATTERNS about to be hit on the metals. While the ‘energy’ of the Gold and Silver markets is such that they will NEVER go down … they might not, but we have some long term patterns to contend w/ before I’m all in …

Palladium showing some support off the .786 – maybe watch this one on the first pullback?

Metals – September 21, 2024

Across the board, the metals are hitting big sell signals. As is the case w/ PATTERNS, we really DO NOT know which ones will work and which ones won’t … but when they all pretty much lineup like they all are now, then something ‘big’ usually occurs.

Mind you, the ‘big’ can be PATTERN failures across the board (the sell signals all fail w/ a daily close above the levels shown below) OR the PATTERNS work and the metals are at a pretty big inflection point and …down they go.

This is a VERY interesting time w/ regard to the ‘circle of life’ (fixed income, FX, equities (global and CONUS) and commodities) … it’s really not a simple bet right now.

I posted yesterday about Gold. I mean, folks, it really doesn’t get any better than this. Long term ABCD’s are BIG DEALS. That, coupled w/ the rest of the metal sell patterns shown below, will make you realize that this is THE inflection point for the next couple months or, perhaps, year (s).

Silver:

Copper – BTW – where is Copper? W/ the move occurring in the equities, shouldn’t copper be following? It’s barely made a .382 – hmm. PS – this is a VERY nice PATTERN – ABCD, .382+.618 confluence and 1.4142 extension.

Palladium:

Palladium – approaching key level … important to NASDAQ

last post on Palladium: https://bartscharts.com/2021/09/28/keep-an-eye-out-for-palladium-in-the-lower-blue-blox/

as you can see, Palladium is tracking down into our level ID’d above back in September. additionally, you can see that they track each other pretty nicely. it’s NOT exact but the general trend and flow is pretty much the same…

during this sell off in Palladium, the NASDAQ 100 has held up pretty nicely and we are approaching a level on the Palladium chart that represents the LARGEST corrective move in the past 15+ years. this measured move is key …

time to play IF and THEN …

IF we hit the level below on Palladium AND it holds THEN I would look to be a buyer of the NASDAQ 100. note, we have a LOT of thrust coming into this level so let it shuck and jive and look for a weekly signal reversal candle on palladium (in this case the HIGH of the candle that makes the low (the wick is included) on a weekly close above is a signal reversal candle or SRC)

keep an eye out for Palladium in the lower blue blox

note, Palladium did not take out the low from a couple days ago BUT sure does look like a dead cat bounce . that being said, corrective forms are usually 3 waves so perhaps we go up again to finish off the correction or we just dump lower from here .. that is the question.

either way, the amount of selling and thrust right now begs of caution if long but you might want to perk up as we go into the 1500-1700 level on spot palladium.

also, don’t need to catch a falling knife so watch this level, let it bang around an, perhaps buy on a retest.

Palladium and the dead cat?

last post on Palladium: https://bartscharts.com/2021/08/22/important-correlation/

think about it … went to a long term Palladium chart and was able to calculate the low of 80 ish in Jan 1991 (yeah, 30 years ago) and then figured it was close based on the sell off .. well we hit it and YAWN HO HUM I would expect it to EXPLODE off that level … certainly looks like a dead cat bounce to me … hmmm

I like the lower blue level for BIG support and then, perhaps, a chance to buy or get the bounce and exit before it really gets ugly. (hint hint – it isn’t yet)

Important Correlation

chart below has Palladium w/ the NYSE Index overlaid on top.

the candles are Palladium and the blue line is the NYSE Index ($NYA)

note, currently, Palladium is correcting pretty steeply … in the past, this has led to the overall stock market to correct also. is this time different?
