Forget GLD/OIL ratio, LUMBER/GLD as your new crash indicator!

Long
Just listened to a great interview on the Market Huddle podcast feat. Michael A. Gayed from the Lead / Lag report. Great interview!

So one of his leading indicators discussed was the LBS/GLD ratio and it actually correlates quite well. Although it predicted the 2018 Christmas crash much more distinctly (with a slight trend break down to the trend line false positive in early 2018), but with each major trend breakdown or breakout it 100% confirmed SPY continuation. As for the most recent indication for the March crash, there was a quick gap down in LBS/GLD ratio during the consolidation triangle (indicated exhaustion), even though it didn't formally break until a 10% drop in the SPY.

Scary thing is what's happening now. Bounce to near recent highs, then either a breakout or consolidation into a cup and handle. That likely means we're going to correct again down for some consolidation (as a 3 touch breakout in this formation is typically a little too aggressive). Target is in the 13's, which would put the SPY somewhere between the stratosphere and moon.

Let the melt up continue!
