Top of The Dow

Where The Risk is Least

The ‘risk’ on a short position in the Dow (DIA), is yesterday’s high (not advice, not a recommendation).

It’s very early in the pre-market (7:48 a.m., EST), DIA is trading slightly higher (at 464.34), but anything can happen between now and the open.

Massive Margin Call

The Trillion Dollar margin call has to come from somewhere; maybe yesterday’s action in the metals and miners is going to force everyone’s hand.

Silver spiked, outside-down, on heavy volume.

With that said, on to the chart.

Dow 30 DIA, Daily

From a Wyckoff analysis standpoint, it’s all there; a push through resistance to all-time highs, a struggle, then new daily low and now today, a possible upside test.

The chart also shows an apparent volume climax, a typical ‘last gasp’ market action.

Silver’s Breakout

There’s been plenty of coverage over the past week, about silver’s apparent ‘breakout’.

We may have a sustainable breakout, or there may be something else in the works.

As of this post, silver futures opened essentially unchanged, edging slightly higher (as of 7:04 p.m., EST).

With that said, we’ll look at the longer-term view of silver and specifically, the ETF tracking fund, SLV.

Silver SLV, Weekly

The smaller (magenta) wedge pattern at left of the chart, shows a sustained breakout.

That move culminated in the blow-off top, late April 2011.

From the initiation of the breakout (week of 8/27/10), to the first retrace was a Fibonacci 8-Weeks of higher highs, and higher closes.

There was a small amount of congestion for one month, in January 2011. Then, SLV continued on higher.

On a monthly scale, silver SLV, essentially went straight up for a Fibonacci 8-months with only one month lower, a total duration of 9-months.

You can almost see where this is going.

With the current ‘breakout’ (if we’re in one), the market may post an impulsive move, or alternate (from the prior wedge breakout) with some kind of choppy action.

As the chart implies, we’re at The Danger Point®, where price action’s hovering between a wedge pattern breakout, or throw-over.

Bonds & The Economy

Not getting much attention in the media yet, is what looks like a slow (nascent), upside reversal, of long-bonds.

Here’s an excellent description of what’s going on with the yield curve, link here.

However, there’s one potential error (depending on data used), in the link above, the job market.

Real unemployment numbers can be found here.

It says, we’re already at ‘depression era’ levels of 25% unemployment.

If anyone’s skeptical of alternate numbers, the official numbers have already been proven to be ‘in-question’.

One of the best examples of ‘official’ data, or lack thereof, is this report.

What’s a million jobs or so, between friends. 🙂

With mass layoffs starting, also, here and here, that 25% number above, is likely to increase significantly.

We can even add some anecdotal evidence, link here.

Strategy, Tactics, Focus

The price action of the market itself, is telling us where to go for opportunity.

Upside may still be there, if one wants to position in the A.I. bubble (not advice, not a recommendation).

However, for over eighteen months, this site’s been profitable only positioning to the short-side (UNG, the exception) and sees no reason to join the crowd buying into the A.I. mania (not advice not a recommendation).

The current focus is on WMT, a sleeper, not-doing-much, for years, that may be about to get interesting.

Currently short as WMT-25-03, with stop at last week’s high (not advice, not a recommendation).

Gold, Silver, Potential ‘Reversal’

Yesterday’s update, presented the idea, silver may be at an inflection point; either reversal or sideways action (not advice, not a recommendation).

In the case of gold, we’re still below the highs set on April 22nd.

As of this post, the gold contract GCQ25, is trading slightly lower (6:55 p.m., EST)

Note, the last analysis on gold, GLD, presented the ‘Force Index’ indicator for potential reversal.

Until gold, GLD posts a decisive new high, past 317.63, that indicator is still in-effect (not advice, not a recommendation).

Gold GLD, 8-Day

Note the possible blow-off price action and thrust energy.

Also note the downward thrust.

This size of downward force has only happened twice before; the 2020 panic lows, and the last time gold started major, long-time reversal (September, of 2011).

Silver … Breakout or Not?

June 7, 2025 By in DUST, DUST-25-02, GDX, GLD, Gold & Silver, Gold Miners, Positions, SLV 1 Comment

We’re at The Target

So, which is it?

Door No. 1

Silver’s in the long (decades long) awaited breakout to hyperinflationary heaven, or …

Door No. 2

Silver has met its Fibonacci target, ready for reversal, sideways action, or …

Door No. 3

None of the above.

Then, what about the Miners?

It looks like they (GDX) have already decided.

No sooner had Friday’s update been released, they appear to have reversed (not advice, not a recommendation).

Obviously, there’s a lot going on in the markets and it’s happening fast. We’ve already been told what’s (likely to be) coming.

Back to silver, SLV.

Silver SLV, Weekly

The chart shows what looks to be a corrective a-b-c (against the trend) move that’s lasted several years.

Note the ‘alternation’ of the moves.

Wave ‘a’ was dynamic, straight up. Next wave higher, wave ‘c’, is choppy and overlapping.

Moving in closer, we have the following.

The chart itself, says we’re back to the volume ‘spikes’ that typically occur (for SLV) at, or near, the end of a move (not advice, not a recommendation).

To add intrigue, note the massive downward thrust of Force Index during the ‘Tariff’ uproar.

Is this another hint of (pending) reversal?

Silver, Nears The ‘Target’

What Happens, Then?

Let’s look at silver’s ‘breakout’ and see where the move might be headed.

A standard Fibonacci projection tool is shown on the silver chart; then, an additional chart (of MDB) presents how it looks, when met.

Silver SLV, Monthly

We’re very near the ‘100%’ projection.

Now, for an example of how it looks when the projection is met (exactly).

MongoDB, MDB, Daily

Price action hits the 261.8% exactly, after the earnings release.

After getting ‘whacked’ on positioning short the miners, all positions closed.

Standing aside for now (not advice, not a recommendation).

Silver Breakout?

June 3, 2025 By in GDX, GDXJ, Gold & Silver, Gold Miners, JDST, JDST-25-12, Positions, SLV, ZeroHedge

Gold & Silver Miners (shorts) Capitulate?

Did the shorts just run for the exits?

Yesterday’s hysteria created yet another potential (sustainable) silver breakout, maybe.

Silver Surges: Breaking out of Triangle Pattern to New Highs in 2025, link here.

Producing another rush by the herd, attempting to trade what’s already happened.

The Silver Squeeze Awakens: Options Market Screams for More, link here.

The last update said ‘today could be the day’ … the day we get a downside reversal in the miners.

Instead, we have potential JDST short-side capitulation; with inference of GDXJ, downside (not advice, not a recommendation).

Junior Miners 2X Leveraged Inverse Fund JDST, Daily

Today is an important day.

Will we get follow-through on GDXJ (up) and JDST (down), or will the hysteria fade?

If this really is a silver squeeze, one would expect the market (SLV) to scream ever-higher (not advice, not a recommendation).

Gold, Silver & The Oil Patch

We’re about three-hours into the Sunday overnight session and here’s what’s happening, and what’s not.

Both gold and silver are holding steady; oil, has opened gap-down, trading lower by -3.4%.

Yesterday’s update showed the oil patch to be ‘exceptionally’ weak. The Sunday night open, is confirming that assessment (not advice, not a recommendation).

Market Directed Action

The market itself tells us where to go for opportunity.

At this point, it’s telling us to focus on the oil sector.

Looking at the futures contract, CLM25, there’s not a single major gap that has not been filled or nearly filled.

That tells us, probabilities point to some kind of upward move (to close the gap) which in turn, tells us to monitor the sector (ETF) index, XOP.

Miners, Call It Quits

May 2, 2025 By in GDX, GDXJ, GLD, Gold & Silver, Gold Miners, JDST, JDST-25-10, Positions, SILJ, SLV

For Now, At Least

All three index ETFs, GDX, GDXJ, and SILJ, posting lower, with the silver miners down the most.

The lower action couples with lower silver (SLV) and nearly lower gold (GLD).

For Junior Miners GDXJ, as of this post (12:28 p.m., EST), it’s showing ‘outside down’.

Junior Miners GDXJ, Daily

It’s important to note, yesterday’s update said there would (likely) be an attempt to move higher.

That’s what happened; then, price action reversed.

The chart shows how short position, JDST-25-10, is being managed. Lowering the stop (higher for JDST) in the direction of the trade (not advice, not a recommendation).

Note, work has already been done on potential, significant reversal for gold and on-going, languishing of silver: Links here, here, here, here and here (not advice, not a recommendation).

Gold’s Parabolic Top

April 26, 2025 By in GDX, GDXJ, GLD, Gold & Silver, Gold Miners, JDST, JDST-25-10, Positions, SILJ, SLV, ZeroHedge 2 Comments

Mass Liquidations?

During gold’s (GLD) way to the top, or potential top, it has posted gap-higher, after gap-higher.

That is, until now.

This past week, it has come down to fill one of the gaps.

Is this the start of other downside fills?

Before we look at the chart of GLD, let’s review a prior commodity blow-off top.

We’ll chose silver (SLV), for this example.

Silver SLV, 3-Day

There’s a lot going on in this chart.

First, this is what a commodity blow-off looks like.

Second, once this happens with volume, there’s been a significant ‘changing of hands’; it takes a long time to recover.

In fact, here we are, fourteen years later and silver SLV, has yet to reach the levels of early May 2011.

Prices are still far below, even with non-stop propaganda, experts, and grifters cheering it on.

Now, we’ll put up the chart of gold GLD.

Gold GLD, Weekly

The last time GLD posted a Force Index of 1.8B, was back in 2011, just before the last major top.

It’s important to note, the huge reading in Force Index, did not come at the exact top. It came before the top.

We’re in a similar situation. The massive Force Index reading has already posted (not advice, not a recommendation).

Then, two weeks later, we have near record liquidations in the GLD, ETF, link here.
