Over the past 30 days, gold has not made a 30-day high OR a 30-day low. It's just kind of sat there, forming a consolidation 'triangle pattern' after setting new highs in August. Prior triangles typically resolved to the upside, but the next couple of weeks proved key. This is a big tell for miners, which are also consolidating after one of the most overbought readings in decades.; Investors' receptions to IPOs have not diminished lately; they've picked up if anything. The immediate success of the Snowflake offering caused the number of IPO "run-ups" to reach a dozen, the most in 20 years. Other metrics show only 1999-2000 as a comparison, as unlikely as it would be to see a repeat of the aftermath.Signup / Login to read this post

After a spike in July, precious metals have calmed down and mostly swung sideways. Some bullish traders see this as a consolidation pattern before gold and silver surge to new highs. Perhaps. Or perhaps not. Chart patterns can always be interpreted in 2 ways. (The beauty of charts is that you see what you want to see.)Regardless, the surge and subsequent flatlining in gold and silver caused their respective Bollinger Bands to widen, and then narrow. Bollinger Bands Width, which looks at the ...
Sentiment across the world is subsiding as various stock markets pull back. Canada Optix's 10 day moving average has fallen to the lowest level in almost half a year, ending a long streak of elevated sentiment.When this happened in the past, the S&P/TSX Composite's future returns were mixed:Across the Pacific, Australia Optix is also no longer elevated for the first time since this post-pandemic bull market began.When this happened in the past, Australian equities usually pulled back over ...
A few days ago I looked at the potential for value to outperform growth. As Bloomberg noted, this month so far has seen the equal-weighted S&P 500 outperform the market cap-weighted S&P 500 by the most in over a decade. This signals a potential reversal in relative performance. Perhaps the era of a few large tech stocks lifting broad indices is coming to an end:Historical cases in which the market cap / equal weighted ratio dropped -3% in a month usually led to more S&P 500 equal weighted ...
