Chris Vermeulen, Founder of The Technical Traders joins me to take a look at the precious metals market and assess the other markets that need to be noted. We start with the USD and the recent relationship between the two. Next is the action in silver and platinum as they are playing catch up. Finally, we look at the US markets and the potential of a breakout higher or breakdown and how each of these would impact the PMs. Be sure to opt-in to my Free Market Forecast and Trade Ideas Newsletter
CONCLUDING THOUGHTS:
I believe our super-cycle research and other proprietary modeling systems are suggesting that price weakness will dominate the markets for the next few months. Ride my coattails as I navigate these financial market and build wealth while others lose nearly everything they own during the next financial crisis and recession.
In short, you should be starting to get a feel of where commodities and asset class is headed for the next 8+ months. The next step is knowing when and what to buy and sell as these turning points take place, and this is the hard part. If you want someone to guide you through the next 12-24 months complete with detailed market analysis and trade alerts (entry, targets and exit price levels) join my ETF Trading Newsletter.

Global market Chaos means Precious Metals will Continue to Rise
by ilene - September 2nd, 2019 4:14 am
Courtesy of Technical Traders
Reading the new today of the riots and protests in Hong Kong as well as the military action between Iran and Israel suggests to us that the metals markets are poised for a very big run this week
and possibly much further into the future.
This type of Chaos creates a level of uncertainty in the global markets that will prompt a massive surge in the
precious metals markets as traders and investors continue to pour into precious metals as a means to hedge against fear and weakness in the global markets. At this point, we believe a move in Gold could easily target $1640 or higher and Silver could target just under $21 over the next 5 to 10 days.This type of move would represent a +7 to 10% rally in Gold and a +10 to 20% rally in Silver.
Pay attention to how the ES, NQ, and YM react to trading as markets open on Sunday and Monday evening as well as the news events related to these issues. Any escalation of tensions and fighting between parties throughout the world will likely shed shock waves throughout the global economy as well as prompt a contraction in price levels.
We attempted to warn all of our followers that the August 19th breakdown super-cycle event would likely present a massive potential for a price correction to the downside. These super-cycle events operate on a much broader scale and scope than most people realize. A delay of 20 to 30 days for an event to begin is equal to a span of 10 seconds in the larger scope and perspective of these bigger events. Pay attention as this move really begins to play out over the next 25+ days.
Weekly Gold Chart
This weekly gold chart has followed our expectations from April/May 2019 almost perfectly. Our original target of just below $1600 has almost been reached. Now, with the global chaos playing out in China, Hong Kong, and other locations, we believe Gold could rally well past the $1600 and possibly move as high as $1640 to $1675 before attempting to stall and rotate.
What is interesting is that the price of gold is hitting new highs is most other currencies. This is something we will talk about…

Don’t Be A Loser, Understanding Trading Risks Is Crucial
by ilene - September 2nd, 2019 12:33 am
Courtesy of Technical Traders
This article will most likely open your eyes and see a side of trading you usually don’t think about or possibly don’t understand, even though it is critical for your long term success as a trader and investor.
Not many people talk about trading risks and for a good reason. It’s not that exciting to most, and its a real sobering topic because its the reality of trading: trading is risky, and that you need to know how to manage risk appropriately and we don’t know how to do this. Most of us are generally too lazy to want to learn dry/boring subjects, especially when we don’t know much about them in the first place, and I’m guilty of this as well.
I urge you to take 4 minutes and read this trading risks explained in laymen terms below. At worst is a good refresher and will make you look at your current positions and see all your capital carries the same risk and if you are positioned for steady growth or potential account implosion if the asset class moves against you.
Understanding Trading and Investing Risk Types
RISK
noun 1.a situation involving exposure to danger: “flouting the law was too much of a risk” synonyms: possibility, chance, probability, likelihood, danger, … more antonyms: impossibility
verb 1.expose (someone or something valued) to danger, harm, or loss:
There are many ways to define risk and different, disparate types of risk depending on investing in a home, doing business with a bank or investing in stocks, bonds, ETF’s, mutual funds, etc.
We know inherently, given my last week’s piece on the increasing amount of foreclosures occurring in the largest cities in the US, where housing has been robust, cities like San Jose, CA, San Francisco, Phoenix, Chicago, etc, that there is currently increasing risk in purchasing real estate at lofty prices and hoping that the market stays hot; that if you had to resell the real estate in the next few years one could get out at a similar price to the purchase price or even higher.
Given that we are towards the end of a boom housing cycle, this is probably not…

Could Hong Kong Disrupt China & The Global Markets Further?
by ilene - September 1st, 2019 8:26 am
Courtesy of Technical Traders
Reading the news this weekend and watching the chaos in Hong Kong, one has to wonder how this violence and disruption in commerce is really affecting the Asian and global markets. Many different news sources are already reporting that Chinese economic data continues to show weakness over the past 4 to 5+ months.
Additionally, Hong Kong, being a strategic source of income and business for the western world, has been disrupted with riots, protests and not violence as a result of a political battle between Chinese rulers and local Hong Kong residents.
It seems obvious to anyone outside of this situation that neither side is about to stop their actions any time soon and that means we are going to experience even further disruptions to the global markets and local markets. Right now, our greatest concern is that the disruption in economic activity in China/Asia will result in a “cold” in the US and other foreign markets.
Our August 19th call for a potential US market breakdown was stalled because of recent news that China and the US would begin talks again attempting to resolve the trade issues. Yet, we know these talks may last many months with no real progress in terms of lifting tariffs or real concrete outcomes. We don’t believe the US is going to remove tariffs or ease up on trade-related factors until we see real progress made by China. This would suggest we are in for a long-haul in terms of real relief in the markets.
Our research team still stands behind our August 19th breakdown call. Our super-cycle research suggests that the US and global markets are poised for a price breakdown and we believe the recent news events have stalled this price move. Particularly, we point to the nearly -1100 point price drop on August 22 through 26, just days before the news that China was willing to engage in new talks with the US about trade. This move would have likely continued to break lower, as we predicted, had the Chinese not announced their intent to try to relieve pressures on the economy and the global economy.

S&P500 Candlestick Pattern On Friday Signals Price Breakdown
by ilene - August 31st, 2019 12:08 am
Courtesy of Technical Traders
As we close out the week and watched the markets trade in a rotational price manner, it became very clear to us that the patterns setting up in price continue to support our overall analysis of the markets and the potential for a bigger downside price move. We issued a call that an August 19th breakdown was expected on or near the trigger date (Aug 19). We’ve taken some heat from our followers and readers regarding this call and the fact that the markets have yet to really breakdown below current support levels.
As we’ve learned from our experience and previous analysis/calls – the markets can continue to act in ways that run counter to our analysis for much longer and in a much more irrational manner than we can survive the risks associated with any irrational price moves. Yet, at this point, we don’t see anything irrational in the markets – we see opportunity.
Until price confirms otherwise, our believe is that price will attempt to move lower – establishing new lows. Before we get into the details, be sure to opt-in to our Free Market Forecast and Trade Ideas Newsletter
Important Japanese Candlestick Reversal Patterns
The Doji Star and Shooting Star Japanese Candlestick patterns are part of a unique group that identifies potential price reversals, support/resistance and can often build into other types of patterns. Our belief is these setups in the current chart will eventually create an Evening Star formation with a downside price move early next week. This type of pattern would confirm resistance near the body of the current Doji or Shooting Star candlestick and also confirm our analysis that a price breakdown should continue.
SP500 – ES Daily Chart Highlights the Doji Reversal Pattern
This ES Daily chart highlights the Doji pattern created by the close of Friday trading near 2923.75. The fact that price narrowed on Friday into a Doji pattern forming below the previous highs suggests general weakness in price and a possibility that early next week we may see price breakdown to complete a Harami or Doji Star Reversal Pattern.

Energy Sector Setting Up For Another Big Trade
by ilene - August 29th, 2019 10:08 pm
Courtesy of Technical Traders
Our research team has been nailing some really great trades recently in Gold, Silver, Crude Oil, ETFs, and many other market segments. Some of these trades have resulted in fantastic gains of +10% to +20% for our members.
One trade in particular that we called back in July was the Energy trade in Crude Oil and ERY. Specifically, we suggested that Crude Oil would fall based on our ADL predictive modeling system and that ERY would set up a very nice trade with targets set relatively close to the basing/bottom pattern. But first, be sure to opt-in to our free market forecast signals newsletter
You can read our original research here:
July 10, 2019: PREDICTIVE MODELING SUGGEST OIL HEADED MUCH LOWER
July 26, 2019: ENERGY SETS UP TWO NEW TRADES – HERE THEY ARE
While the original setup resulted in a fantastic trade setup and completion – where both targets hit and the price extended more than $10 beyond our Target 2, we are now alerting you that ERY will likely set up another, even bigger, opportunity over the next 30+ days.
We believe our previous research, particularly related to Crude Oil, will result in ERY rotating lower over the next 20+ days, possibly towards the $50 level, before setting up another momentum base and beginning an upside move targeting the $70 to $75. If our research is correct, this move will come at a time when global markets are expecting must slower economic activity and/or a massive supply glut in Oil.
Daily ERY Chart (Inverse Energy Sector ETF)
This Daily ERY Chart shows the original trade setup that occurred after our July 26 post and includes the original target levels drawn as YELLOW ARROWS on the chart. It is easy to see the success of this trade and how ERY rotated higher as Crude Oil weakened.
Weekly ERY Chart (Inverse Energy Sector ETF)
This Weekly ERY chart highlights what we believe will be the next trade setup which will start to complete the momentum base sometime near…

Precious Metals About To Pull A Crazy Ivan
by ilene - August 28th, 2019 12:20 am
Courtesy of Technical Traders
Nearly a month ago, we authored our “Crazy Ivan” research post suggesting that precious metals were about to pull a massive “crazy price move” while the US and Global markets breakdown in an attempt to revalue risk, support, resistance, and other unknown factors trying to “revalue” price to more suitable levels given future expectations.
The moves in Gold and Silver over the past 4+ weeks has been incredible. The biggest surprise is in silver, even though we called this move as well. The way precious metals prices transition through periods of risk or fear is that Gold increases in value as fear drives investors into Gold. Whereas, Silver, the lesser shiny metal, which has seen prices further depressed over the past 5+ years, attempts to revert to a less depressed “fair value” to Gold. This process happens every time Gold begins to move substantially higher and results in an incredible opportunity for Silver traders. But first, be sure to opt-in to our free market forecast newsletter
What is the Crazy Ivan event? It is our belief that Gold and Silver will attempt to rally well beyond levels most analysts have been predicting for this year. In fact, we believe Gold could be trading above $1750+ before the end of 2019 because of this Crazy Ivan event that we believe is unfolding right now. This event is based on our belief that a massive shift in the capital will take place as soon as the US major indexes break below key support. Once this support is broken, we believe the Crazy Ivan event will really begin to take form.
Gold Weekly Price Chart
Our research team believes Gold will have one last period where the price will pause before attempting to rally much further. In fact, we believe Gold will potentially retrace to levels near or below $1500 one last time before the real Crazy Ivan event is unleashed. This means we should be patient and wait for the next setup in Gold and Silver before jumping into any new trades.
Gold should pause near $1600, roll a…

Has the Basing Setup In Natural Gas Completed?
by ilene - August 27th, 2019 4:17 am
Courtesy of Technical Traders
Back in June 2019, we posted a research article suggesting that Natural Gas was setting up an extended basing pattern below $2.35 preparing for a seasonal rally that typically initiates in late August or early September. We believe the basing pattern has nearly completed and now is the time to begin positioning for the upside price rally that we believe will hit in Natural Gas as early a September 5th or so.
Our original research posts to review :
June 10, 2019: NATURAL GAS MOVES INTO BASING ZONE
June 25, 2019: NATURAL GAS SETS UP BOTTOM PATTERN
Our research tools suggest that September has a 65% probability of rallying more than 6x the historical range. This would suggest a rally potential of more than $2 exists in September for Natural Gas. Our tools also suggest that October has a 75% probability of rallying more than 3.2x the historical range. This would suggest a potential rally of more than $1.20 in October.
Combine those potential moves and probabilities over a 60-day span and we are talking about a $2.50 to $3.50 potential price rally with a 70%+ historical probability of success. But first, be sure to opt-in to our free market forecast newsletter.
Daily Natural Gas Chart
This Daily Natural Gas Chart highlights the price rotation as price continued to base below the $2.40 level. We’ve also highlighted the basing range as a blue rectangle on this chart. We expect the upside move to begin in early September and to continue to rally towards the $2.75 level before finding initial resistance. It is very likely that this rally will build momentum as we end October and start into September. It will not be “straight up” as we have drawn on this chart.
Weekly Natural Gas chart
This Weekly Natural Gas chart highlights our longer-term expectations for the price rally. The initial move will likely end just below $3.00 (likely in the $2.75 to $2.95 range). After that level is reached, we expect a bit of resistance as price rotates near the Bullish Fibonacci Price Trigger Level, then rallies beyond it to target levels…

ES Must Hold Above 2800 Or The Selling Will Intensify
by ilene - August 26th, 2019 10:37 pm
Courtesy of Technical Traders
First off, we were so happy to hear from all of our followers over the weekend and early today regarding their support for our incredible market predictions – specifically the call about the August 19th breakdown prediction. We stuck to our guns believing in our predictive modeling systems and our research team. We knew it would be just a matter of time before the weakness our models were showing us to actualize in a real price breakdown. We want to thank all of you who wrote to us and thanked us and our team for their hard work and dedication.
Now, we’ll highlight some recent events in the ES chart (S&P500 E-Mini Futures) and how it related to the bigger
picture in the markets.
Before we get into the details of the market recovery today, we want all of you to understand that is natural for the markets to move in rotational waves as price establishes new highs or lows. In fact, it is essential and healthy for the markets to do this. When the markets move in an unnatural way by trending excessively over short periods of time, it reflects an imbalance in the fundamentals of the markets or the core elements of supply/demand economics. When the bottom falls out of a market, for example, it is usually because of some type of external news item or some other type of external factor/event. The markets themselves naturally have a way of processing expectations and price value through the process of buying and selling in an open market.
Therefore, as we continue this research post, please understand that any further price breakdown will likely become a process of price waves or rotations over the next few days and weeks that continue to break the most recent series of upward sloping highs and lows (from January 2019 till July 2019). But first, be sure to opt-in to our free stock market forecast newsletter.
Let’s get started with the analysis.
240 Minute ES Chart Highlights
This first 240 minute ES chart highlights the intraday rotational price structure and how the Fibonacci price modeling system is currently identifying 2850 to 2897 as a key Support/Resistance level for the price. Initially, as the breakdown in price happened on Friday and late Sunday, price blew past…
