SPX Outperforming Gold And Oil
Candy Matheson | Jan 13, 2020 02:50PM ET
Further to my post of January 5, the following provides an update on price action as of Thursday's close.
The following monthly chart shows the SPX, GOLD and OIL in comparison format, as well as their respective high, low and today's closing price for January, so far.
The instrument currently facing the "path of least resistance" is the SPX. It shot through prior near-term resistance (now support) of 3233 and continues to rally.
While GOLD and OIL tested (and briefly overshot) their near-term resistance levels of 1600 and 65.00, respectively, they've retreated substantially. Not only do these remain near-term resistance levels, there is considerable overhead supply above those levels, presenting the "path of greatest resistance."
The following SPX:VIX daily ratio chart shows price nearing its prior historical highs around 280 or just above.
To confirm an SPX continued rally, watch for:
The following GOLD:GVZ daily ratio chart shows that price is caught between its 50 and 200 moving averages.
