The State Of Indices, 3/8/2022

 SandP 500, last signal 16-20 SELL, 15 days, +7.61% (also, 16-20 on SELL; 35-39 to BUY $4116/+0.61% or higher; 92-96 on SELL; 218-222 on SELL; current $4091)

*comment: S and P chart is in a bearish configuration. The $3737 level is 36 months MAV which represents the bull market support. The price needs to close below this level on a monthly basis for the crash scenario to get activated. The July close was $4130 so no crash yet. Potentially this rally could go to $4300-4400 but it is time for some consolidation. I have added to my shorts at $4100. I am still looking for $3400-3495 on the downside.

HUI, last signal 92-96 SELL, 33 days, -15.16% (also, 16-20 on BUY; 35-39 on SELL; 92-96 on SELL; 218-222 on SELL; current $204.28)
*comment: HUI is in a bearish configuration. $203 was hit intraday on Friday the 15th and the fall continued down to $192.45 so far. The $203 level was recovered and there is a chance that a bottom is forming around the recent low. The rise should continue until a new 16-20 sell signal. Then, either a new leg down to test the $192 low and potentially hit that $180 target or consolidation and rise to buy back the 35-39 and the 218-222 for potential bullishness.

Nasdaq, on 35-39 BUY, onpath, notxxed, 2 days, -0.3% (also, 16-20 on SELL; 35-39 breaking to SELL; 92-96 on SELL; 218-222 on SELL; current $12901)
*comment: The chart is in a bearish configuration. The first downside target ($11760) has been hit the next target is $10579.
NEW: My target at $13000ish was hit on Friday. I expect some consolidation/down to take place during the next few days.

Russell 2000, last signal 16-20 SELL, 14 days, +10.25% (also, 16-20 on SELL; 35-39 to BUY $1919/+1.99% or higher; 92-96 on SELL; 218-222 on SELL; current $1882)
*comment: Russell is in a bearish configuration. The first target of $1710 has been hit, the next target is $1534.
NEW: The upside target of $1900ish has been hit. I expect some consolidation to take place during the next few days.

10Y yield, on 92-96 BUY onpath, notxxed(true), juxtaposed, 181 days, +75.71% (also, 16-20 on BUY; 35-39 on SELL; 92-96 on BUY; 218-222 on BUY; current 2.74%)
*comment: 10Y yield is in a true bull market. Yield blasted through the resistance and hit my target of 3.5%. The S and P is on the verge of a meltdown but I think it will need yields back over 3.5%.
NEW: The 35-39 sold again and the chart pattern is now showing a confirmed triple top. 3.1% is serious resistance and 2.2-2.3% is the target on the downside. I will consider going long TLT if the next 10Y signal is 16-20 sell (2.9-3.1%). If not the next signal will be 92-96 sell which would be the end of the bull market. In that case, I will also be looking for a short side entry (long TLT).

XAU, last signal 92-96 SELL (simultaneous with 16-20 BUY), 33 days, -12.65% (also, 16-20 breaking to SELL; 35-39 on SELL; 92-96 on SELL; 218-222 on SELL; current $106.48)
*comment: XAU is in a bearish configuration. The intraday low on 25th July was $99.81 so my downside target was hit. A rally back to sell 16-20 is underway. The upside target is $110-115ish for now. After that either the test of the recent low to buy back the 16-20 or consolidation and rally to $120 to buy 35-39 and 218-222. The final low shouldn't exceed $90-95 because that is where the long-term bull market support is. If we violate this support the whole bull market will be reconfigured.

ASA, 16-20 SELL executed today (also, 16-20 breaking to BUY; 35-39 on SELL; 92-96 on SELL; 218-222 on SELL; current $14.92)
*comment: ASA is in a bearish configuration. The rise to 16-20 sell signal has finished. The first upside target has been hit ($15ish). Now either the test of the recent low to buy back the 16-20 or consolidation and rally to $17ish to buy 35-39.

Bitcoin, on 35-39 BUY, onpath, notxxed(true), 11 days, +2.78% (also, 16-20 on SELL; 35-39 on BUY; 92-96 on SELL; 218-222 on SELL; current $23089
*comment: BTC hit my second target of $19K. The next target is $13K but first back to $24-26? Technically the measured target from the broken head and shoulders chart pattern is $3.5K(!?) but the timeframe for that is probably another 12-18 months.
NEW: 35-39 on the path buy signal has been generated. I think that this signal should propel the price up to 28K but the first stop is $26K. I established a long position at $20.7K. Stop loss is below $20.5K.

COPX copper miners, 16-20 SELL executed today (also, 16-20 breaking to BUY; 35-39 on SELL; 92-96 on SELL; 218-222 on SELL; current $28.87)
*comment: The support broke down, and the $30 target has been hit. It will probably mark some kind of a bottom. A bounce to $30-32ish is expected.
NEW: The 16-20 sell has been generated after the $30-32 target area has been hit. The next step is either drop down to buy 16-20 and test the bottom or consolidation and then run up to buy the 35-39 index.

GDX,last signal 92-96 SELL, 28 days, -10.48% (also, 16-20 on BUY; 35-39 on SELL; 92-96 on SELL; 218-222 on SELL; current $25.88)
*comment: The chart is in a bearish configuration. The support ($30) fell. The new leg down is underway. The target is $25ish (done).
The support at $25 emanates from the Jan 2016 bottom so it is essential for the very long-term structure of this bull market. This is the red line that cannot be crossed without serious consequences.
NEW: The super important support at $25 is holding for now. The target for the bounce is $28-29ish.

GDXJ, last signal 16-20 SELL, 2 days, -1.34% (also, 16-20 breaking to BUY; 35-39 on SELL; 92-96 on SELL; 218-222 on SELL; current $33.05)
*comment: The chart is in a bearish configuration. The $37 level didn't hold and the price collapsed to hit the target/support area at $26-28. As expected, the bounce back to 16-20 sell signal has finished. Now either the test of the recent low to buy back the 16-20 or consolidation and rally to $37-39ish to buy back 35-39 and 218-222.

GLD, 16-20 crossed to SELL (also, 16-20 to BUY 160.83/
-1.96% or lower; 35-39 on SELL; 92-96 on SELL; 218-222 breaking to BUY; current $164.05)
*comment: GLD chart is in bearish configuration. The $166 support was broken. The next target is $158-160 (done) (spot $1700-1720 ). $158-160 must hold for the bull market to stay inside its current parameters (so far so good).
NEW: The target zone was hit ($158.03 GLD, $1681 spot gold intraday). $170 resistance needs to be overcome for a longer-lasting low to be formed.
NEW: 16-20 sold, I took profit on my long position. I am looking now to reenter if the 16-20 buys again or the price breaks the downtrend line. Ideally, the price should drift down to buy the 16-20 ($160ish) and then turn around to buy 35-39 too, for a double buy while breaking the trendline at the same time. The time frame for this combo is the last week of Aug. If the price just keeps rising I will wait for a 35-39 buy before I decide what is the best setup to enter long.

SLV, 16-20 SELL executed today (also, 16-20 breaking to BUY; 35-39 on SELL; 92-96 on SELL; 218-222 on SELL; current $18.41)
*comment: $19 was broken to the downside. The SKI structure is bearish. The second downside target has been hit ($17ish). The support zone should provide a bounce at least back to $19.
NEW: The upside target has been hit ($19ish), 16-20 sold. Now, the next move is either a drop to buy back 16-20 and test the bottom or consolidation and then rally to buy back 35-39.

TIP, last signal 16-20 SELL, 6 days, +0.03% (also, 16-20 on SELL; 35-39 to BUY 117.54/+1.55% or higher; 92-96 on SELL; 218-222 on SELL, current $115.75)
*comment: TIPs are in a bearish configuration. The downside target is still around $110-111 but recent action suggests there might be a rally soon. Let's see if there is enough energy to push the price to a new 16-20 sell signal and potentially lock in the bottom.
NEW: The price gapped over all of the 16-20 back prices and generated a 16-20 sell signal. If the signal can hold until a new 35-39 buy signal the bottom might be in.

TLT, on 35-39 BUY, onpath, xxed, 4 days, -0.21% (also, 16-20 on SELL; 35-39 on BUY; 92-96 on SELL; 218-222 on SELL; current $117.5)
*comment: TLT is in a bearish configuration but it seems at least the medium-term bottom has been confirmed. The price rose above $117 and generated the 35-39 buy signal. The next signal will be either a buyable 16-20 buy or a 92-96 buy.

UCO, on 92-96 BUY, onpath, xxed, 2 days, +2.4% (also, 16-20 to SELL 37.19/+0.11% or higher; 35-39 on SELL; 92-96 to NOT SELL 37.51/+0.97% or higher; 218-222 on BUY; current $37.15)
*comment: The 92-96 bull market ended. The SKI structure is neutral for now but that will change to bearish if the price drops below $34ish or to bullish if the price rises over $45ish. A new 92-96 buy has been generated but it is xxed and the structure is very weak with a high probability of instant selling.
A rise to $42ish will make me consider a short position. The downside target is $22ish but $32 needs to be broken first which is not going to be easy.

URA, last signal 16-20 SELL, 9 days, +5.67% (also, 16-20 on SELL; 35-39 on SELL; 92-96 on SELL; 218-222 on SELL; current $21.06)
*comment: The chart is in a bearish configuration. The first downside target is $16. The bulls need a price rise over $21 and then to hold that level.
NEW: The price did rise above $21. Now we need to see if it can hold and buy the 35-39 index which would increase the chance that the bottom is in.

USERX, 16-20 SELL executed today; run pattern in-progress 5U/1D/-1.14%perday; xxing=off_off_off (also, 16-20 breaking to BUY; 35-39 on SELL; 92-96 on SELL; 218-222 on SELL; current $9.54)
*comment: USERX is in a bearish configuration. The recent correction reached $10.28 the mega important level marked at the 2016 top and now this support has been broken. The first target on the downside is 9.25ish (done) and then sub $8.5ish ($8.79 so far).
NEW: The bounce to sell the 16-20 has reached the target today. I still expect to test the breakdown level at $10-10.2 but first, some consolidation/down to decide where the support is.
The long-term bull market support is positioned at $8.1ish.

UUP, on 92-96 true BUY, 240 days, +12.76% (also, 16-20 crossed to BUY; 35-39 on BUY; 92-96 on BUY; 218-222 on BUY; current $28.36)
*comment: The UUP is in a bullish configuration. The $29 target has been hit. I expect a correction down to touch/break 16-20 index. It is too early to tell but in hindsight, the last two weeks might have marked a significant top.
NEW: I mentioned before that the bull market has reached 221 days cycle and that we might be in a process of forming a significant top. So far day 227 marked the top and that fits nicely with the cycle length. The drop back to 16-20 buy has finished which increases the chance that the UUP price has topped. The order of indices now allows for a double sell signal 16-20/35-39 if the price rises above $28.8 or for a simple 35-39 sell signal if the trendline is broken to the downside (around $28). The time frame for this is the last two weeks of August. For the bulls to take control back the price needs to break above the recent high of $29.

Australian XGD, last signal 16-20 SELL, 2 days, +1.92% (also, 16-20 breaking to BUY; 35-39 on SELL; 92-96 on SELL; 218-222 on SELL; current $5353)
*comment: The XGD is in a bearish configuration. The long-term support was at $5600-5800 and had been violated in a severe manner. Because of this, the whole bull market from 2015 to 2020 is now being recalibrated. The $4765 target has been hit five times and provided firm support every time. I am done adding to long positions and getting ready to unload some around $5400-5600. I am 50% long in my trading account.

  1. Hi Vie, sorry for the late response, I was a bit busy these days. The simple answer is, yes but you need to be aware that different composition of the indices will give you slightly different signals. From my experience the best signals come simultaneous across the range of indices so this is one of the reasons I do monitor all of them.
