Stock Market Trendlines Being Broken / Stock-Markets / Stock Markets 2018
By: Anthony_Cherniawski
It appears that the Ending Diagonal trendline may be broken in the SPX at 2830.00. This is your initial aggressive sell signal. The VIX is on an aggressive sell and Hi-Lo is not. Use your discretion and do a partial short until we get confirmation with the VIX over 12.81 and the Hi-Lo beneath the trendline.

Gold as a Hedge Against Hyperinflation / Commodities / Gold and Silver 2018
By: Michael_J_Kosares
LETTER TO THE EDITOR
Dear Mr. Kosares,
I have read your articles with great interest and pleasure. I believe we are in a corner which is far from the mainstream. In reference to buying gold as protection, I also read stories like “sell-cryptos-buy-gold,” but it is never told what will happen when there is indeed hyperinflation.

A New Commodities Bull Market is Emerging / Commodities / Commodities Trading
By: Peter_Degraaf
We’ve all watched in amazement, while the equities markets around the world have risen to new highs. On Wall Street hardly a week goes by without a new record. There comes a time however when a sector becomes so overbought, that smart money begins to leave and search for a sector that has been overlooked. That moment is now at hand, as can be seen in our first chart – courtesy sources listed.

USD Nearing its Target / Stock-Markets / Financial Markets 2018
By: Anthony_Cherniawski
Good Morning!
USD futures are still trending lower, although some are calling for a bottom here. The morning low at 88.62 came awfully close to the Orthodox Broadening Top target that I have highlighted for nearly a year.
One wouldn’t be blamed for taking short profits here. However, even as the risk of a reversal rises, the Cycles Model suggests that it still has a week, if not more, of decline ahead. In addition, Wave (5) reaches 1.5 X Wave (1) at 88.16 and 1.618 X at 87.60.

Gold Gains a Powerful Friend / Commodities / Gold and Silver 2018
By: Arkadiusz_Sieron
Yesterday, gold won an influential supporter in the White House. Who is he?
The Enemy of Gold’s Enemy Is Gold’s Friend
As the ancient proverb goes, my enemy’s enemy is my friend. Although it is usually employed in foreign policy, this concept also applies to finance. Given the negative correlation between the greenback and gold, the enemies of the U.S. dollar are generally gold’s friends.

USD/CHF Under Long-term Support! / Currencies / Forex Trading
By: Nadia_Simmons
Earlier today, the greenback declined to the lowest level against the Swiss franc since mid-September 2017, which resulted in a small drop under the long-term support line. Is this a sign of bigger move to the downside or just a trap?

Debt, Dollar and Stocks - A Modest Plan / Stock-Markets / Stock Markets 2018
By: Raul_I_Meijer
This is an article written by Dr. D, who last month wrote a series at the Automatic Earth entitled Bitcoin Doesn’t Exist.
It shouldn’t surprise you that bitcoin plays a cameo in his Modest -but actually quite grand- Plan as well.
Dr. D: With all the talk about the bubble market, people are once again saying Donald Trump is a fool, he should never have taken credit for a Dow that’s about to collapse. In addition, how does he think he can get away with claiming we have a great economy made greater? He said in the election the economy was terrible and the Dow was a bubble, that’s why he won.

Gold Jumps To Crucial Technical Level. Important Action Coming Up / Commodities / Gold and Silver 2018
By: John_Rubino
After what seems like a decade in the shadow of tech stocks and cryptocurrencies, gold and silver are rocking again. Which of course leaves everyone wondering if this is the beginning of the long-awaited epic run, or just a head fake preceding yet another grinding, protracted, soul-sucking decline.
The following chart has a couple of technical indicators that, if history still matters, shed some light on the challenges gold now faces. The first is the 50-day moving average, shown here as the thin line that tracks the more colorful price line. Note how when gold’s price spikes above the moving average, it is, in technical terms, “overbought.” In other words, it’s ahead of itself and has to fall to get back into sync with longer-term momentum.

We called the real estate bubble top in late 2005, just before it began to burst in early 2006. So did Jim Stack, a newsletter writer in Whitefish Montana.Now Jim has a Housing Bubble Bellwether Barometer that’s flashing a sell signal after going up 80% last year. All our alarms are going off as well.
The Confidence Indicator for the National Association of Home Builders/Wells Fargo is at its highest reading in 18 years… higher than it was in early 2006.

US Dollar Will be Key to Gold Sesame / Commodities / Gold and Silver 2018
By: Arkadiusz_Sieron
Gold may be considered to be a bet against the U.S. dollar. The depreciation of the greenback supported the yellow metal in 2017. The price of gold managed to rise last year in rather unpleasant macroeconomic environment mainly thanks to the weakness of the U.S. dollar. Now, the key question is whether the bearish trend in the greenback will continue or we will see a trend reversal (or actually a continuation of a rebound which started in September)?

How to Check Land Rover Discovery Sport Adblue and Oil Change Service Interval Levels / Personal_Finance / Motoring
By: N_Walayat
It is very, very important for Land Rover Discovery Sport owners to regularly check their Adblue and Oil Change Service interval levels because they don't tend to change in line with what Land Rover states i.e. that an oil service is due every 21,000 miles etc. So checking ensures you are not suddenly caught off guard by a dash warning. Adblue is a mixture that is added to diesel fuel so as to lower emissions and meet EURO6 regulations. You car will have a 13 litre Adblue tank which technically should be consumed at the rate of 1litre per 1000 miles driven.

Stock Market Surge Continues... / Stock-Markets / Stock Markets 2018
By: Anthony_Cherniawski
Good Morning!
This is just a refresher of the long-term (monthly) chart of the SPX. Wave [3] is 1.5 times Wave [1] and the next level is where Wave [5] is also 1.5 times Wave [1]. The red target was first mentioned by Northman Trader in ZeroHedge two weeks ago. We are a week away from the next lunar eclipse, which is being highlighted by several Cycles Theorists. They are expecting a super blue-blood moon that has not been seen since 1866.

A few words on the Gold Sector / Commodities / Gold and Silver 2018
By: Gary_Tanashian
As the long-term interest rate Amigo continues upward, the anti-USD ‘inflation trade’ continues onward and more and more gold bug writers emerge from the woodwork, it is time for a little antidote to the inevitable pitches and hype to come.
Everything is playing to script and with this little pullback to a higher low in the miners being resolved in the favored direction, the writer bugs are going to further their bullish message and try to get more reader bugs to follow their guidance. But absolutely nothing has changed.

Bitcoin Market Crashing: Is this the end of Bitcoin or a pause before the next Bull Run? / Currencies / Bitcoin
By: Sol_Palha
For greed all nature is too little.Seneca
Whenever the masses fully embrace a market, trouble is usually close at hand, and that's what occurred with bitcoin; the masses were completely enamoured with Bitcoin. The masses were euphoric and were expecting bitcoin to soar to the next galaxy. Wild targets of $100,000 were being issued that sounded more like the ravings of a lunatic than of an expert. In an article published on the 4th of December 2017 we made the following comments:
