Liquidity is evaporating

Every day over the last week has been an Extreme which indicates a deteriorating liquidity in the market.

The key VixOsc is entering the Bear Zone

....and did you see what happend to the EURO.....1.3054, that's what we call an impulsive move below the 1.3150 that will activate the 1.26-1.20 target as shown over the weekend.

...more on SUSI graphs

A new chapter to our 'Rolling Top theme'

The market character seems to have changed las week. Our Market model went short on Thursday, but doesn't seem completely convinced yet.

The correlation and the Risk-Reversal (we call Risk Return Multiple) structures paint a solid case for our theme.

Anomalies where you look. Take for example our next chart, that has not accounted for a single OptionFlowExtreme in nearly a year which in itsself is an extreme.

Why we see more downside risk for the EURO

Our TREND model which is an aggregation of a host of MOMO, FLOW and Option Indicators has a fairly good track record and call for more downside.


The Euxhaustion gage we use (also a incredient into our secret TREND 'sauce') has a 7 out of 7 bet out against the EURO. Thus we espect a correction that will fullfill time and / or price objectives before we can change the outlook.

 MOM(O)entum is speaking a similar language. We see a short-term streched move with plenty of downside potential in the medium-term.

The Euro has played a pivotal role in the global Risk Trade , so an adverse fate will also bode ill for the rest of the trade.....


Is this the final exhaustion in Gold we need for the next leg up ?

Sentiment and the weekly technical assessment call for a medium term low in the making. Therefore we should expect a low within 0-2month.
Pls also observe the Love-Hate realtionship Gold has with the Equity market where it likes to tag along for the bull leg in equities and then (as 'safehaven') during the correction Gold tends to run alone.


The Cycle chart actually confirms the technical findings. We could see a monthlong rally followed by another test of the bottom before we really continue flying again.

The next charts gives further evidence that the Gold market is OVERSOLD and should rally soon. But be careful, 'rally soon' would also allow for another exhaustive move to the downside before the rally!




Bottom line:


  1. long & medium term bullish
  2. ...waiting for short term confirmation that the bottom is in

Euro is targeting 1.26 and 1.20

1.3150 is the current support zone. If broken to the downside we expect 1.26 and 1.20 as intermediary targets. 
This should jive a correction in the Risk Trade into the end of Q1.

Triple Divergences signal accelerated Euphoria

All of our VIX Indicators cry Euphoria.






Quick Thoughts for this weekend

1) Gold is bottoming in Dollars and in Euros


 2) The Rolling Top in the risk Trade is continuing, with the Dollar already strengthening. The EURUSD could NOT hold 1.35 which we wondered last week


Don't get blinded by the Noise !

Bull Case for a Rally in Treasuries

......which should be a safehaven Rally.....which contradicts the 'THEME of the DAY' of the 'GREAT ROTATION'....

Options, MOMO, FLOW, TREND, EXHAUTION they all sing the same song. Look for yourself....

Watch Fixed Income leaving the risk trade

The Proxies for the High Yield credit spread and the Investment Grade credit spread start to deviate from the Risk Trade following the TED and the VIX.

The health of the risk trade hinges on a very thin thread....

Top in progress

The model is still cautious...
 ...the correlation and Risk-Reward-Multiple strategy (long Vola strategy) is crying wolf...
 ....the small caps see a bearish kick off like the EURO
...and Seniment is overbought.

Trend Indicator sends a severe Warning Signal for the EURO


Woodoland cont'd.....

Massive Divergences in the ISE and CBOE Sentiment Charts.




Watch the FX markets for clues on the Risk trade

The EURUSD dropped back below a key Fib-Level and could target the next downside zone.


The Weekly EURYEN paints a similar picture. The Bull move stopped at a resistance level and should we see downside confirmation the action could get explosive.

If the Euro can NOT be pushed up again (by the global Centralbanks) then a stronger Dollar and Yen does bode ill for the Risk Trade bulls for the next months.

Can the VixOsc turn to the Bear-Side?

We wrote a lot about this potential Blow-Out scenario and the high degree of correlation in this 'ONE' market. The FX market took the lead and the herd followed. Let's see how far they want to go?

JO-JO in Gold this week means what?

The TREND indicator dived because of a flip in the EXHAUSTION Indicator.....
 ... EXHAUSTION look bearish short term but within a ver bullish medium term context....
 ...that is already shaping up in the MOMO picture....
 Similar to our AAPL OSC we also looked into a Silver-Gold OSC that at this stage confirms the bullish undertones.
Conclusion:
We are in a bottoming process !
