NatGas started the day moving above Friday's high but missed touching the upper Bollinger Band. Price then reversed and NatGas ended the day below last Thursday and Friday's low (after tagging the 21 day moving average). This could all be leading to a narrow trading range while price consolidates. This idea is supported by the flattening out of the Bollinger...
Despite rumors of a Gold rally that permeated the ideashpere over the weekend, the precious metal continued to sell off today, closing near the bottom of the day and down 14 points. Last Friday's candle, while an up candle, still closed the day, and the week, under both the 7 and 21 day moving average. It was also a red Heikin-Ashi candle. In fact, all the...
Crude Oil sold off today, falling .43 points and continuing to stay well under the 7 day moving average. And while the haDelta indicator last Tuesday gave a potential reversal signal (see the yellow circle?), there is no indication that the downward wave is finished. The bottom indicator is the Elliot Wave Oscillator. It, too, is showing strong downward...
Natural Gas jumped up today, rising from the lower Bollinger Bands and tagging the 21 day moving average. As the haDelta has also turned positive, I will be looking for a pullback to enter a long position. Here is the Heikin-Ashi chart: If you enjoyed this post, please press the Like button, share with your friends, and re-tweet! Disclaimer: This post is...
Gold fell to a new 2 week low during Wednesday's trading. That is, until the end of the day when the administration's tax plan was released and Gold rallied higher to close the trading session. However, Gold met resistance at the 21 day moving average and if you look at the Heikin-Ashi chart below, today's trading ended in a strong red Heikin-Ashi candle. That...
I want to follow up on my earlier post on potential downside targets for Gold. There are 2 immediate targets. There is a 23% fib retracement at 1256.5. This fib is based on the yearly high and low. You can see a strong line of support there. A trendline that extended from the last 2 pivot lows has a strong confluence with the same fib's 38% retracement...
Natural Gas moved lower today, dropping .01 points. And another strong Heikin-Ashi candle, supported by a very bearish haDelta, gives us confidence that the downward trend will continue.

Gold closed down on Tuesday, just below the 21 day moving average. You can see that the body of Tuesday's candle covers the wick of yesterday's candle. That means that the sell-off today was not met by strong buying. We've also had 2 strong Heikin-Ashi candles in a row (see chart below). All indicators are pointing to a continued sell off and I am maintaining my...
Gold is trading lower today and back at the key support level of the 21 day moving average. haDelta is very bearish. Let's see were Gold ends the day. If Gold does break the 21 day ma, then the next target is the lower Bollinger Band which is now at 1235.
Natural Gas started the week with a sharp drop to a low of 3.031, hitting the lower Bollinger Band @ 3.03, which was my first profit target. This completed the coast to coast trade that begin with a short entry at 3.27 on April 5. After a week and a half of sideway motion and dojis, today's price drop was a welcome event. With both the haDelta and the Heikin-Ashi...
Gold gapped lower on Sunday night and dropped to the 21 day moving average @ 1266. Even though price rebounded off that support area, the precious metal still closed well under the 7 day moving average and now seems like it wants to re-test Monday's low. We also had the first strong red Heikin-Ashi candle since the downturn from the upper Bollinger Band (see chart...
Natural Gas moved sideways again today, making that 4 dojis in the last 5 trading days. Trapped within the confines of the 7 and 21 day moving averages, today did close below the pair which is a positive sign for our short side position. I am still looking for a final push down to the 3.05 lower Bollinger Band. The Heikin-Ashi chart confirms price is confined to...
Gold sold off sharply on Wednesday, closing the day down 8 points. The Heikin-Ashi candle finally turned red and the level on the QStick indicator at the bottom of the chart has now turned orange. All this signifies that the pressure to the downside continues. Whether or not this is anything more than a temporary selloff from the extremely overbought condition is...
On Tuesday, Natural Gas dropped .10 points to close just above the 21 day moving average. This is a potential end to the last move up which began on Feb 22 of this year. If price can break through the 21 day moving average, I would expect price to continue selling off until a tag of the lower Bollinger Band which now sits at 2.9. The potential downturn is...
Gold rallied hard today, gaining almost 20 points on the day. On the way to the new monthly high for April, Gold shot past last Friday's high and didn't pause as it continued it's ascent to the outer Bollinger Band, which is set at 2 Std Dev from the midline. Monday's red Heikin-Ashi candle is now well in the rear-view mirror as well. And all along, the haDelta...
Gold ended Wednesday down .6 points, making a late day recovery after selling off strongly to start the day. So while gold did close above the 7 day moving average, price continues to move sideways. The haDelta indicator is also still bullish but is showing definite signs of slowing down and even possible changing course. And if, in fact, price does move down, the...
Gold closed down 3.7 points on Thursday, falling through support levels at the 7 day moving average and the inner Bollinger Band. While it's not clear if this is going to be a long or short lived downward correction, I am banking on price hitting the 21 day moving average at 1232.90. As I've said before, when price breaks through the 7 day moving average, the is a...
Gold closed down 2 points on Wednesday, once again finding support at the confluence of moving averages and the inner Bollinger Band. While not moving lower than support, price stayed contained within Monday's candle and is setting up for a potential 'Rising Three Methods' pattern. This pattern starts with a long green body that is followed by three small body...
