    points in the
    morning and then they recovered quite a
    bit again I’m going to discuss
    everything in detail so let’s go and get
    started with that so again this is a
    detailed technical
    analysis of the markets and our trading
    systems and it’s April
    25th
    2024 this is our back in recorder for
    our standard web page format which I’m
    going to start
    now hello everyone this is Matthew FR
    with breakpoint trades.com this is the
    Thursday April 25th
    newsletter wild action of the markets
    today as you know I’ll get back to that
    but anyway this newsletter is divided
    into six major sections first thing
    first section we’re going to have our
    opening discussion then we’re going to
    talk about some of the mechanical
    trading systems a
    bit we’re also going to then move into
    the general marketting analysis where
    we’ll look at some of the big cap Tech
    stock earnings we’ll also look at the
    major indexes the S&P and the other
    major index is the Dow triple Q’s small
    iwm small caps we’ll look at a few
    indicators we’ll look at a few Market
    sectors we look at the US dollar crypto
    Bitcoin and crypto stocks Commodities
    precious metals GDX we’ll look at a few
    trade idea setups I didn’t add any new
    setups tonight again as far as the
    market again as you know coming into the
    weekend we were quite
    oversold especially if you watch my
    weekend newsletter we were quite
    oversold you could count five clear
    waves to the downside the S&P 500 was in
    a perfect downtrend channel so we were
    expecting a rally some sort of oversold
    rally plus we had of a lot of our mean
    reversion systems had scaled into the
    pullback well we got that rally for the
    first two and a half days of the market
    into Wednesday morning all right
    the um
    then yesterday Facebook reported
    negative
    earnings and market futures fell on that
    and then of course this morning you had
    weak economic data such as the GDP so we
    had a very strong gap down on the cast
    indexes the Dow Jones was down over 600
    points in the morning the S&P was down
    about 85 points from Wednesday’s close
    close and we’re down about 100 points
    off of Wednesday’s highs
    right and then we had a nice recovery
    bounce today where the S&P was down only
    about 23 points again it was still down
    for the day at about a half
    percent that was down about 1% NASDAQ
    lost 6% again nice recoveries off those
    lows for the week the indexes are still
    up quite strongly with the S&P 500 up
    1.6% NASDAQ up
    2.3% for the week
    okay and going to go over a couple
    educational items here guys just to show
    you the wild action and again we’re also
    really big on education here so let’s go
    ahead and get started with that so the
    first image below item number two here’s
    a 15minute chart of the S&P 500 cach so
    again this is what I was talking about
    coming into Monday you know last Friday
    we had clear five waves to the downside
    whenever you have five waves to the
    downside or upside you always want to Be
    watchful for a market reversal okay
    because five waves is generally
    completing pattern so we had five waves
    made this channel we broke out of that
    channel on Monday morning okay then we
    rallied up
    until Wednesday
    morning we had five clear waves to the
    upside you see this five ways this is
    important my comments here so
    we were looking for a pullback in the
    market and then we had Facebook earnings
    on
    Wednesday Futures and the cash Market
    this morning looked horrid things looked
    very bad but we were favoring a higher
    low why because you had five waves up as
    I State here this is important had you
    only had three waves up off of Friday’s
    lows then that would have argued for
    another low but because we had five
    waves
    there’s a couple different ways to count
    this one would you know a bullish way
    would be this is wave one and you’re
    looking for a high deep retracement
    higher low wave two the other thing
    which I favor though is five ways of
    wave a a higher low is a wave B which it
    looks like we put in and then now we go
    up in wave C now once that wave c ends
    then I’m looking maybe for another
    decline in the market but the five the
    point I’m trying to make to you guys is
    whenever you have five waves like this
    that was indicative of a higher low
    price also pulled back into this demand
    Zone where it found support
    now after hours here today remember
    yesterday we had meta report earnings
    well today we had Microsoft and Google
    and of course they knocked out of the
    park they’re up strongly and that has
    brought
    Futures back up to essentially right
    around Wednesday’s
    highs let’s take a look at
    that image number three so here’s es
    Futures on a couple couple different
    time frames 6h hour time frame 78 minute
    so again Market as you know has been
    selling off since the beginning of
    April stair step fashion you can see
    last Friday es bounced off this support
    Zone going back to late February rallied
    up we had a little DeMark 9 we sold off
    yesterday and then strongly overnight
    into this morning we found some support
    here high or low and then we rallied
    after hours after those big cap Tech
    earnings from
    Microsoft and Google and you can see
    we’re essentially back to Wednesday’s
    highs now so big recovery here you can
    see had a nice clean downtrend line
    which we again right after the market
    closed today on those Futures on those
    Futures popped strongly on those
    earnings okay next big resistance zone
    is up in
    here in this Supply Zone
    next image number four so coming into
    this week quite a few of our mean
    reversion systems had started to scale
    into the market on that pullback that
    we’ve had in April so we’ve had these
    mean reversion systems on we had three
    of them that had triggered on the Spy
    ETF three of them had triggered on ES
    Futures all of them closed out for nice
    winning trades okay and sometimes these
    can be a little early at time you could
    see the CCI Divergence trade on the
    upper left
    entered last week and then you know that
    was a bit early then it had a second
    entry it didn’t take a third almost did
    but it managed to close both entries
    nice winning trades you could see the on
    the Spy the trend pullback had two
    entries one early last week and then one
    last Friday essentially at the lows was
    a good entry nice trade and you could
    see before that about a week and a half
    ago there was another trade that got in
    and got
    out and on the qbts same thing nice
    trade double entry on ES nice trades I
    bring this up because on the bottom left
    the this was the one system that was
    that had closed out the last system they
    closed out on Wednesday okay still made
    nice gains here especially the second
    and obviously the third entry the other
    five had closed out on Tuesday this one
    closed out on Wednesday just in time
    before that market pulled back of course
    the market is back you know back above
    where these exited but again all very
    nice trades remember these meanor
    reversion systems they’re not trying to
    stay in Tire Trends they see a trade
    opportunity when things get too
    stretched they get in they get out and
    they make money they have around 90%
    winning trades so congrats to everyone
    who took these trades they were very
    nice trades and as far as the Futures
    here guys again Futures are not for
    everyone but you don’t have to trade
    Futures you could substitute these
    Futures trades you could substitute ETFs
    in place such as spy and SSO and upro
    stuff like that there is a benef major
    benefit to trading futures for tax
    benefit it’s the 6040 rule where you get
    to treat 60% of your capital
    gains as
    longterm and 40% as shortterm whereas
    stocks you know you have to hold them
    for a year or longer to get that so
    that’s the major benefit to es Futures
    and why a lot of the more wealthy folks
    trade Futures over the ETFs okay but
    again if you if Futures are not for you
    you don’t have to take these systems on
    the Futures you could do them on ETFs
    substitute ETFs in place next image
    number five so here’s the trade tables
    for the mean reversion systems for spy
    and Es this year for
    2024 it’s the spy at the top so the
    trades that all closed out this week are
    just above this horizontal line every
    one of them made money and on ES Futures
    here
    they actually had more entries for ES
    really nice gains here the only minor
    loser was the uh Trend pullback first
    entry which lost
    $66 but the second
    entry um made $600 $300 the third entry
    made $1,600 so nice trade it’s getting
    congrats to everyone who followed them
    the mean reversion systems are not
    always easy to follow because they’re
    buying into sell-offs pullbacks they buy
    when it feels bad all right they play
    with your emotions so they’re not for
    everyone again that’s why we also have
    our kiss Trend systems so you know but
    really we cover both bases of the market
    with our systems the mean reversion and
    our kiss Trend following systems the
    kiss systems on the indexes got up went
    to cash over a week ago so they’ve been
    in
    cash all right moving back to the
    General market so item number six shows
    the index sector table what transpired
    today in this week again you can see the
    indexes did close down but well off the
    lows okay the
    S&P 500 like I said was down about 85
    points in the morning managed to close
    down only about 23 but still losses for
    the day but the important thing is
    everything’s up for the week still the
    Dow is lagging only about a quarter
    percent S&P is up 1.6% NASDAQ 100 is up
    2.3% as far as the 21 Market sectors
    today basically about 5050 were up and
    down
    all right communication Services was the
    weakest that contained some of those
    Fang stocks like meta as we know got
    absolutely hammered you know so again
    kind of a mixed bag here of up and down
    on the sectors now for the week all the
    sectors are up except for two
    communication services and metals and
    Mining currencies US dollar down 0.2%
    down about a half percent this week
    Bitcoin has been rallying up with the
    market it tends to follow the market
    quite honestly to me it’s not really a
    hedge for the market it’s more of a
    leverage play on the market down
    slightly for the week this crypto stocks
    have been kind of all over the place but
    they’ve bounced off their lows
    Commodities the DBC index was up a half
    percent it’s up 0.85% for the week crude
    oil up 0.9% today up 1.6% for the week
    natural gas up again it’s up big for the
    week up
    133% copper up
    1.8% the only real ities down today were
    agriculture which has been you know in
    very overbought territory and sugar
    precious metals gold and silver up both
    up about 6% still down pretty strongly
    for the week GDX the miners came roaring
    back up 3.6% that’s a big move greatly
    outperforming gold and it’s actually up
    for the week and as far as the bond
    market the 10 year 30-year we’re up
    today
    next item number seven shows the
    economic news calendar again yesterday
    we had Facebook earnings which sent
    Futures down and this morning we had you
    know initial initial jobless claims GDP
    we had weak economic data showing
    increased inflation Market didn’t like
    that and that’s one reason Futures
    really sold off but then again like I
    said they recovered quite a bit um by
    the
    afternoon and tomorrow Friday we have
    personal incomes uh spending pce
    and core pce and Michigan sentiment and
    got obviously we’re in earning
    season next let’s look at some of these
    stocks with the bit earnings so here’s
    meta again meta reported yesterday on
    Wednesday was down strongly in fact on
    Wednesday after hours it nearly filled
    that open Gap at 400 very very close
    Okay that was actually a good area to
    probably pick up a few shares today
    obviously well off those uh gap down
    lows still down over 10 and a half
    percent for
    today next jber nine here’s Microsoft
    remember I stated Microsoft would be
    reporting today after hours they did and
    that stock is strongly up in fact it’s
    trading up here around 417 and after
    hours again so it’s not at new Highs but
    it’s recovered a lot and it had pull
    back near this support area down here
    from the November
    highs next TR 10 here’s Google
    they also reported today and they’re
    Google’s trading up around 176 an after
    hour so basically a new high Google was
    holding up really well anyway
    finally jber 11 here’s Amazon now Amazon
    doesn’t report until Tuesday April 30th
    next week after the close uh but it’s
    actually trading up after hours and it’s
    trading up around 180 so right
    essentially yesterday’s highs right
    there you can see today price got into
    this demand Zone it bounced off a
    bit all right guys so crazy volatile day
    but you did have a tra buying
    opportunity today on that weakness we
    were faving a higher low I know it would
    have been tough emotionally to do it but
    it did play out next let’s jump to the
    index analysis CH number 12 here’s the
    Dow down like I said about 1% today been
    weaker here lately than the others
    nice correction from the you know
    mid-march highs there from the little
    double top and the channel break where
    symmetry was broken and still a lot of
    work to do here the next real demand
    zone is down here where I’m showing
    around the 37,000 area I think that
    could be tested over time and then maybe
    the 200 day moving
    average and um my guess here is that we
    have a we had an move an a move up this
    was a b high or low maybe we get another
    c-wave
    something like this so we had to move a
    up we got a be higher low maybe we get a
    c move up but because the Symmetry break
    then maybe we come down again that’s my
    guess for now same on the other indexes
    which will’ll cover
    next
    next choer 13 moving on to the S&P 500
    is the weekly chart still up 1.6% this
    week like I said bounced so far off this
    20 we mov an average moving average
    ribbons pinched on the weekly bigger
    long-term support is down here which was
    previous resistance in
    2021 now potentially support on a bigger
    correction Cher 14 here’s the daily
    chart of the S&P remember this broke
    symmetry a few weeks back when it fell
    through this coil price pulled back more
    than 130 points off the highs remember
    130 points was was previously the
    largest pullback in the uptrend so you
    broke symmetry we’ve got a good sell off
    we filled an open Gap we bounced off a
    little demand zone right here so here’s
    kind of my guess that move up that we
    had early earlier this week was a wave a
    the Deep retracement today is a wave B
    maybe we get a wave C up but because of
    the Symmetry break I am looking for a
    lower high guys all right so I am
    looking for a lower high then maybe we
    come down again and maybe we form a
    better bottom okay
    why is that it’s because again we broke
    symmetry so let’s take a look at that so
    image number 15 here’s my slide on
    symmetry like I stated we broke Symmetry
    and generally when you break symmetry
    you form a lower high so that’s why I
    think this move up could be a wave C but
    form a lower high
    ultimately next Cher 16 you know these
    inverse ETFs spxu which I put out back
    in late March early April which provided
    an excellent trade and honestly come
    coming into the day it still had a bull
    flag look I mean look at the volume
    patterns just looked really good so
    wouldn’t be honestly this wasn’t a bad
    thing to buy yesterday on that pullback
    in fact it still looks okay honestly but
    you know maybe if that market does that
    ABC maybe it pulls in a little more to
    these moving averages here maybe that’ll
    be a good buy
    opportunity chor 17 here’s the daily
    kiss again kiss system did its job
    remember this went out went to cash last
    week at
    5082 it is in cash now it’s waiting for
    the next opportunity that’s what the
    kiss systems do they go their Trend
    following they’re long only they set
    these smart trailing stops move them up
    to allow you to protect yourself and
    protect your gains so right now it’s in
    cash we an average ribbon you can see is
    now bearishly
    stacked this is nowhere near going close
    going back long yet treor 18 here’s the
    four time frames so again you can see
    how we we got very oversold like I said
    coming into
    Monday very wide moving average ribbons
    various to Marks we bounced up in
    Tuesday Wednesday found resistance
    around the atrs here
    okay jber 19 here’s a half day chart of
    the S&P remember we filled that Gap we
    got into this demand Zone where we
    bounced off
    of uh from Monday until Wednesday
    morning morning then we pull back higher
    low so far and which we were favoring
    now we’ll see if we can get another move
    up maybe a good area Target for this
    potential wave C could be up around this
    50-day moving average and then I’m
    looking for maybe another
    decline
    next chard 20 here’s that 15minute chart
    which I already discussed above and like
    I said guys educational thing the we you
    know it was scary this morning emotional
    on the big you know 80 85 point gap down
    on the in the market on the cash Market
    things look like death but price had
    pulled into this demand Zone we were
    looking for a higher low because we had
    five waves up that’s the key if we
    hadn’t had five waves up here from
    Monday until Wednesday then we wouldn’t
    have favored a higher low that’s a key
    Point that’s an example
    of the power of technical analysis okay
    anyway after that five waves you can see
    had three waves down which is what you’d
    expect if this is a wave a if that wave
    five was a wave a this is likely a wave
    B higher low and then we move up and a
    see price right now after Mark after
    hours with the Futures S&P is trading up
    around back to Wednesday’s highs
    now
    next jber 21 here’s another 15minute
    chart showing you the same thing and you
    can see we retraced around just around
    that
    61.8% today and it’s an important area
    because we
    could we blew through that with the
    Futures but reason I’m showing you this
    chart guys this has the price by volume
    and you can see
    here no you know how I mark this is a
    thin Zone you can see the candle here
    there’s essentially no consolidation so
    if price got into this area it would
    easily fill this but I’m showing you
    that the price by volume shows that thin
    Zone as well you see how small that
    volume bar is so it just confirms that’s
    a big old thin Zone above so tomorrow if
    we Gap up nicely if we get above
    Wednesday’s highs I’d expect price at
    least to fill this Gap go up to that
    5110
    area
    next Cher 22 is a FIV minute chart
    showing the wild action today the huge
    gap down we quickly found support the
    first half an hour and started chopping
    higher you can see we didn’t quite fill
    that open gap on the
    cach obviously that’s being filled here
    with the Futures after hours we so as
    long as Futures hold up that should be
    filled right away
    tomorrow next Cher 23 here’s the triple
    Q’s again that a tight coil pattern
    couple weeks ago which broke to the
    downside broke symmetry moving average
    ribbon turned bearishly stacked we
    rallied up formed a
    higher formed a lower high there we were
    expecting a higher low which so far we
    have and of course with the Futures
    after after market they’re up nicely so
    again same basic pattern as the S&P a b
    maybe get a c move up a good area for
    this to potentially stall would be
    basically right around this area right
    where you see these major moving
    averages and the lows here on these
    various candles
    next trer 24 here’s the kiss system kiss
    system is of course went flat on the
    triple Q’s last week it is in
    cash
    Cher 25 here’s the weekly view of the
    cues so this shows that nested 1212
    count and um that last high again
    appears to be a wave three of five we’ve
    had the first initial Decline and we’ll
    see if this ends up playing out has I’ve
    had this drawn for many months so we’ve
    had initial pullback we’re getting a
    bounce here let’s see if we form a lower
    high wave B so again this would be
    essentially a zigzag a b c you get a
    lower high B then you come all the way
    down again find big support down in here
    as a wave four then we get another rally
    to a new all-time
    high so nothing’s changed with our
    thoughts there chter 26 here’s the
    triple Q’s on the half day chart and we
    filled that one open Gap
    nice move up this
    week a higher low this morning and then
    we’ll see tomorrow we can get up into
    these upper resistance areas around
    these moving
    averages chter 27 here’s
    a two-hour chart and we got into this
    demand
    Zone formed a lower high there on
    Wednesday pulled back bounced off of
    this
    area again your bigger resistance now
    tomorrow if we get a nice Gap up would
    be up around this anywhere from
    432
    436 chubber 28 here’s a 15minute chart
    of the cues again you have the same
    thing you have the same wave counts here
    you had five waves up I don’t have them
    marked here we started that resistance
    on Wednesday you could see going back to
    April 16th three-wave pullback ABC into
    a demand Zone where we’ve bounced nicely
    form the higher low and with Futures
    tonight price is likely up around this
    back to this resistance area
    here next Sher 29 here’s the four time
    frames with our custom indicators again
    coming into this week you can see on a
    half day chart look how wide that move
    and average ribon was is it too wide
    think of that as a mean reversion as
    well it was due for a snapback got a
    Demar nine there as well we’ve rallied
    back still below the ATR that’s likely
    to be tested tomorrow we’re testing the
    ATR in 130 minutes
    we’re above it on the 78
    minute dber 30 here’s iwm small caps
    remember they had that absolute techbook
    textbook five wve ABCDE Rising wedge
    with the macd
    Divergence price sold off into the
    demand Zone got pretty close to 200 day
    moving average found support there that
    was a good area to take along and uh
    otherwise very shortterm the patterns
    kind of similar to the
    others D 3 one iwm in the 2hour on the
    weekend I showed this falling wedge into
    this big support area and it gave a nice
    trade now the trade stalled at this
    initial resistance up here you see that
    pull back performed a higher low which
    we’re looking for now we’ll see
    tomorrow’s move we get up into this area
    note there’s also an open Gap up here
    around the 205 area that’s
    unfilled Cher 32 here’s the 60-minute
    view of iwm shows you the same thing
    here I added some fibs
    we the low this morning was just shy
    just slightly exceeded the 61.8 FIB now
    testing a little downtrend line
    here and the leverag way to play it was
    TNA that’s the triple leverage DTF and
    that triggered wider away on Monday nice
    move
    next moving on to some indicators here’s
    the vix so the vix has been melting down
    last Friday had that big Black Candle
    which was outside the Binger bands that
    closed back inside so to me and that was
    options expiration that was a that was a
    pretty good sign that the market was
    going to have that oversold rally ear
    this week which it has and the F has
    continued melting down dber 35 here’s
    our NYS SII 9 ma crossover system
    remember this gave a confirmed short
    trigger back in early April which has
    provided a nice trade now one thing I
    commented today is despite the rally
    this week this is barely budged at all
    so this is nowhere near close to
    Crossing back for a Buy Signal so that
    not surprised there so it’s still on a
    short chapter 36 here’s the very neat
    indicator it’s the percentage of stocks
    in the S&P 500 they’re trading above
    their 20-day EMA so one thing I
    postulated on the weekend was you know
    we had this was quite oversold around
    the 10% area but a lot of these past
    major bottoms you had a one two effect
    where you had your initial low move up
    then down initial low move up back down
    number two same here initial low around
    10% actually this was around 5% rallied
    up came all the way down and number two
    which end up being the better low trade
    low so that’s kind of what I’m
    postulating here we had an initial low
    it popped up this week maybe eventually
    this comes down again for a a number two
    and that’s your better low that would
    certainly fit with the wave count I
    presented where the
    S&P is unfolding in this ABC the wave C
    should go up but then ultimately come
    down
    again next moving on to the bond market
    jber 37 Hyo corporate remember this
    found support around that man Zone
    bounced up stalled around the 20 50-day
    moving averages here up to date for
    bounce back off the lows today
    Cher 38 here’s the 10e treasury yield up
    once again up
    1.16% today still in this uptrend
    channel Cher 39 here’s TLT 20year bonds
    again still in the same old downtrend
    channel dber 40 here’s the yield curve
    it continues to push up up about 1.5%
    this week so far we want to keep an eye
    on this because it’s been inverted for
    over 500 days and when it goes back
    uninverted so when it goes back above
    one here the
    ratio that’s typically when you’re
    official recession start and I firmly
    believe we’re going to get that
    okay chapter 41 this image this chart
    from Game of Trades shows you the yield
    curve as well but back in the
    1920s you know as he shows you know we e
    curve has been inverted for over 500
    days now past three times it was was
    inverted that long 20078 19 7374 1927 29
    all those had 50% Market Corrections
    whether we see that now or not you know
    this time whenever
    we the uh yield curve goes back who
    knows but it is just something to be
    cognizant
    of moving to a few Market sectors Cher
    42 here’s xlk technology again bounced
    off that 38%
    Fib from Friday’s
    lows and the open Gap everything matched
    up you had two big technical events
    lining there we rallied up stalling at
    the 90 MAA pulling back now again with
    Futures tonight like it to see this pop
    up bigger resistance is obviously up
    here this previous breakdown from the
    descending triangle that’s now
    resistance and the declining 20-day
    moving
    average Trevor 43 xbi
    biotech rallied up off the 200 day
    moving average stalled at the 90 ma
    coming down again now this next low here
    is setting up some RSI convergence so
    you may want to keep an eye on this
    there’s also a demand Zone down
    here Cher 44 XLE energy has been
    bouncing up all week as you know still
    not back to the
    highs Cher 45 oil
    services still holding support of the 50
    and 200 day moving averages to me nice
    pullback off that resistance from early
    April to me I thought that was a good
    area to at least have a new new new
    starter long position in some of the
    energy
    names next tber 46 US dollar down today
    quar per kind of still has this little
    flag look to it but it has pulled back
    from that resistance
    Zone CH 47 Japanese Yen remember this
    showed this descending triangle pattern
    a few weeks back which broke to the
    downside continues lower Japan has real
    problems guys especially with their
    birth rate it’s extreme crazy
    low you know it’s like no one none of
    the young people are interested in sex
    there basically or at least having kids
    next D 48 here’s Bitcoin Bitcoin did
    hold that big support area rallied up so
    far as a lower high though again to me
    this is kind of moving with the market
    at the moment one thing guys this is a
    big big self support around this 60,000
    area so in the future if this comes down
    and breaks this right here this is
    essentially a very Zone
    and no support you can see it confirmed
    on the price by volume so price
    eventually comes down and breaks this I
    think Bitcoin quickly Falls at least to
    this next demand Zone if not the 200 day
    moving average remember the 200 day
    moving average is sloping up so the time
    you get down to there it’ll likely be
    caught up with
    that tror 49 there’s the 4our chart of
    Bitcoin shows you the same pattern as
    well here I added a downtrend line of
    monitor if you can get above that
    Cher 50 clsk one of the Bitcoin stocks
    this is this was showing relative
    strength after breaking out a little
    pattern gave a nice trade pullback find
    finding some support around these moving
    averages kind of has a flag look to it
    here both flag
    look moving on to Commodities Char 51
    DBC up 85% for the week remember it’s
    still longer term in a coil here I do
    think eventually it’s going to break
    through that
    coil Cher 52 crude oil
    I added this channel last night so it’s
    been holding this channel line remember
    few weeks ago it pulled back off that
    Supply Zone but this is your big support
    here is the
    Channel sharber 53 Uso the proxy for
    crude oil it’s an ETF obviously it has
    the same
    pattern dber 54 natural gas up today a
    little bit remember I’ve been showing
    this falling wedge you have some mag
    Divergence here still in the wedge
    pattern so we’re still monitoring this
    thing
    jper 55 natural gas on the monthly chart
    goes back to
    1995 like I said natural gas um interest
    in it here for maybe a pretty decent
    bottom trade because you know it is at
    basically a
    1990 basically it is at almost a 30-year
    low
    now Sher 56 copper up about 1% this week
    so far nice move out of that coil
    pattern from a couple months ago
    sharper 57 DBA down today basically an
    inside day from yesterday we have this
    Divergence that’s building but price
    Still Remains very strong again just
    keep those stops pretty tight I would
    also check where the stop is on the kiss
    system the kiss system went long back
    here in February so the kiss system is
    absolutely nailed
    that chor 58 there’s the weekly chart I
    just love this chart absolute beautiful
    cup and handle again this is one reason
    why inflation is so high especially at
    the grocery stores here’s the monthly
    chart again nice long-term move out of
    that 2020 lows there is a demand zone
    right in here that we’re at right now so
    area that we could struggle a
    bit moving on to the precious metals
    chart 60 here’s gold now this is the
    weekly chart gold still down about 3%
    for the week again it had a major
    long-term breakout as you know back in
    February dber for 61 here’s the daily
    chart of gold up slightly
    today stocks are outperforming here a
    bit so that’s a positive for now again
    we either have a major high in Gold here
    as a wave C or maybe that was a wave
    three this is a wave four pullback
    because there was no ma Divergence
    that’s why I’m still open to this wave
    four treor 62 there’s the two-hour
    review of GLD now this does suggest a
    completed count a couple weeks ago is
    that wave five of five we got that lower
    high Trevor 63 there’s the monthly chart
    again guys don’t get me wrong even if
    they have a better High here long term
    they’ve broken out of a major pattern
    big cup and handle appears to be in a
    wave three so you know if gold wants to
    consolidate here for you know a month or
    two that’s fine to me long term I think
    it’s going much higher I think nice
    pullbacks are major buying
    opportunities Cher 6 four silver again
    nice breakout from the ascending
    triangle remember that previous breakout
    is big support so if Price ever gets
    close to that that’s a good area to
    start scaling back into silver because
    to me Silver’s had a major breakout
    here’s the weekly chart of Silver S so
    ETF you had a major breakout from this
    bullish coil pattern so again to me
    pullbacks are buying opportunities and
    if you’re longterm I think you could
    probably just stay in it depends on what
    your time frame is if you’re short-term
    trade or a longer term but I do like
    this longer term I think it goes much
    higher over time here’s the monthly
    chart like I said so far well off those
    highs pulling back off the 2021 Highs
    but still out of the coil this four-year
    coil I do think over time it’ll rally up
    into these upper
    40s some individual names here’s AG
    Majestic
    silver I showed this a couple months ago
    as a falling wedge on the weekly time
    frame with this ma Divergence beautiful
    pattern AB CDE e broke out I said a nice
    pullback would be a buying opportunity
    so did any of you buy this on this nice
    pullback me that looks
    bullish another one here’s wpm little
    silver stock weekly this is one I was
    also talking about you know and this
    one’s breaking out to new
    highs dor 69 there’s the daily chart of
    wpm um had a nice tight coil recently
    what you’re breaking out
    of driver 70 here’s GDX this is the
    weekly chart up 75% for the week
    bouncing off that nwe
    EMA could see a resistance areas above I
    do believe those will eventually be
    taken
    out trer 71 here’s the daily chart of
    GDX one way to the bullish look on this
    would be that this is simply out a
    three-wave ABC pullback and it’s going
    to go to a new high again here again we
    had our buy trigger back here on March
    1st on this channel break confirmed also
    by the trend line breaks in the GDX GLD
    ratio and RSI trend line
    break tror 72 here’s the two-hour chart
    Steve showed last night this channel now
    we broke the channel today so that’s a
    positive as
    well next trer 73 our GDX trading system
    bpgm marinco system remember this gave a
    Buy Signal back here on March 1st
    amazing Buy Signal it has now moved up
    to 82% so it’s an overbought territory
    again it hasn’t given a sell signal yet
    but it is up here guys let’s take a look
    at some other individual stocks here’s
    numont numont big day basically they
    they had a good earnings so they had
    good earnings they gapped out of this
    bull flag pattern this is the largest
    component of
    GDX trer 75 here’s the weekly chart
    again found support this year at the
    2020 lows and this weekly chart looks
    pretty good you can see the ratio
    breaking as well Cher 76 here’s rgld
    Royal gold breaking out of a flag
    pattern here now today looks
    good here’s the weekly chart kind of has
    a bull flag look to it here on the
    weekly and chor 978 GLD baric gold so
    basically it pulled back to this
    neckline which became
    support all right finally let’s move on
    uh look at some other things here’s
    Tesla as you know Tesla was selling off
    but it’s bounced back nicely this week
    as you can see and it was up today it
    was up today in the morning when the S&P
    was down 85
    points jber 80 here’s AMD which had a
    heck of a correction but it’s pulled
    back to the support area it’s trying to
    bounce this one has earnings next
    Tuesday April 30th this could beginning
    to be lowrisk buy down here let’s take a
    look at the next chart so chart 81
    here’s the kiss system directly from the
    website you can see the kiss system on
    am AMD it caught a nice trade from last
    November all the way until March had an
    excellent trade there been in cash and
    it went right back long today with a
    stop at 145 so just a bar off the lows
    there’s also DeMark nine there so the
    kiss system went right back long on AMD
    today maybe that bodess well for it some
    other things here’s Nvidia nice bounce
    today but again it it’s going to
    struggle here at the 50 and 20-day
    moving averages and of course you have a
    downtrend
    line you know did find support around
    that 38% FIB but you got resistance up
    here dber
    83 This was a shorted I put out last
    week
    and if you shorted it or shorted it I
    put out yesterday if you shorted it
    yesterday hope you took profits in the
    demand Zone you can see it went down to
    there and bounced back again guys I
    didn’t really add any new ideas here so
    here’s a Adobe Steve had it on our watch
    list last night as a wedge it still
    looks okay here this would be the
    measured move if it were to break
    out TR 85 LPG one from Steve
    on uh Monday still looks okay if it can
    break through
    there dber 86
    futu this is one I put out yesterday
    it’s a weekly chart really I really love
    this coil on the weekly on a breakout
    this could be a longer term swing
    pre jber 87
    SPG I put it on the watch list on the
    weekend as a short needs to lose this
    139 area if it does the next Target
    would be around this 2 moving
    average and charra 88 here’s Apple so
    Apple’s been bouncing here a little bit
    you have some positive Divergence here
    it’s still on a nice downtrend Channel
    earnings is May 2nd so we still have a
    little ways for
    that otherwise again like I said it’s
    still in a strong downtrend here all
    right guys that’ll do it like I said
    Futures are up nicely es Futures are up
    38 points right now es or inq features
    are up
    200 points so pretty big moves and
    Futures and we’ll see if that holds in
    the morning I wouldn’t be surprised if
