Interest Rates: Breaking Out?

With the usual caveat that I’m not a bond guy (seriously, what’s the point?) I took a fresh look at interest rates on the 10-year note. The obvious downtrend over the past 15 years is well-captured by the purple channel below.  It has been marked, however, by a series of rising white channels, some of … continue reading →

A New Analog: EURUSD

As noted back on Feb 21, the EURUSD has broken down from its rising channel (white) and accelerated to the downside, breaking the Jan 4 1.2996 low and the psychologically important 1.30 level. The intersection of the purple .618 and two white channels at 1.38 will have to wait (till my next visit across the … continue reading →

Charts I’m Watching: Feb 28, 2013

Yesterday was a great example of the beauty of Harmonics.  In conjunction with my RSI work and channel work, we were able to rack up 23 points on a day when the big picture is still fairly negative (remember Italy, the sequester, negative GDP, retailers’ horrid guidance?)

Charts I’m Watching: Feb 22, 2013

ORIGINAL POST:  09:25 AM UPDATE:  09:30 AM SPX overshot our initial target by just a couple of points yesterday, reaching the channel 25% line at 1497.29 before getting the bounce I expected at 1499/1500.  Note that SPX completed a Bat Pattern down to the .886 in the process (larger white pattern.) The .618 Fib of … continue reading →

What Recovery?

It was thoughtful of eurostat to include the US in their chart.  Funny, that’s not the chart one would picture based on the MSM’s steady drumbeat of “recovery!” Germany, which had previously taken an ambivalent attitude about the soaring euro, might change its tune following its worst GDP print since Q408.  The main culprit?  Exports, … continue reading →
