SPX, GDX And Gold Technicals: 10_30_19
Tim Ord | Oct 30, 2019 01:17PM ET
The last couple of days the SPDR S&P 500 (NYSE:SPY) closed near a new high and the CBOE Volatility Index closed higher the last two days which sets up another divergence. FOMC meeting announcement is tomorrow around 2:00 eastern. The Small divergence in the VIX, SPY divergence may setup a minor pull back. We will wait and see what develops. Bigger trend is up and short tend is questionable. Follow us on twitter. @OrdOracle
Yesterday we looked at the Total Put/Call ratio (CPC). Readings below .80 (yesterday’s reading was.78) can market minor short term highs. CPC also hit .78 last Thursday. Readings less than .80 have an 85% probability of an average .7% pull back in the next five days. Above is the Equity Put/Call (CPCE) which closed yesterday at .51; CPCE .55 and lower produce .8% average pullback with in 5 days 88% of the time. These sentiment readings suggest caution short term. SPX was up four days in a row going into yesterday. SPX was higher within 5 days 81% of the time. Doesn’t look like a top is forming here (maybe a pull back to support near SPX 3000) than a drift up coming. Join us on twitter. @OrdOracle.

We have updated this chart from yesterday. Yesterday we said, “The pattern that appears to be forming on GDX (NYSE:GDX) from the September high is a “Falling Wedge”. This pattern can be described by lower high and lowers lows that meet out into an “Apex”. As the market works towards the “Apex” the volume gradually decreases. This matches the GDX pattern. Last Thursday GDX broke above the downtrend line from the September high and could be the “Breakout” that suggests the bottom is in. Today’s pullback could be the “back test” of the breakout level and should find support in this region. The bottom window is the “Bollinger Band width” which is at a low level. Low levels in the Bollinger® Band Width suggests a trending market is coming and most liking the “Trending market” will be up. “Falling Wedges” have upside target to where the pattern began; which in this case is the September higher near 31.00. GDX could go higher but that is the first target for the next resistance.” With today’s low finding support at the down sloping trend line from the September high adds to the bullish breakout scenario. Long GDX on 1/29/19 at 21.97. ord-oracle.com. New Book release "The Secret Science of Price and Volume" by Timothy Ord.
