In baseball if you swing and miss three times then you are out.  On a chart if you see three failed attempts to break resistance…get out or short.

Each time the SP5oo tries to regain the 200 day moving average it fails and it is immediately hit with selling.  Sellers are in control and the market is still in correction mode.

Today Moody’s downgraded Greece’s debt which caused the market to give back early leads.  The chart shows a picture of a move up to the 200 day on low volume.  This means there is very little buying going on.  In order for me to gain confidence in the markets I need to see a break through major resistance levels with conviction and that moment is not apparent yet.

Quite contrary three failed attempts to regain major support has failed.  This causes me great concern because in a bull market the 200 day acts as support.  In this case it is acting as resistance, which is typical of bear markets..buyers beware!

As we can clearly see that the dollar is having a bear rally.  The moving averages and the trendline is acting as resistance.  The dollar opened up today and is testing the 20 day moving average which is the short term “magnet” for the stock.

The GDX has come back right where I thought it would come back to which was the previous resistance that is now its support.  Please see my archived analysis of GDX.  This teaches us not to chase after any positions as there will be second chances which is now.

Looking at the individual commodity stocks, it seems as though they are ready for another move.  Last night I sent out a free bulletin of two recommendations that have the possibility to make huge gains.
