Have you checked out our new Gold Report?
We run through nearly 4o charts, breaking down the key levels and intermarket relationships, suggesting Gold could hit 5,000.
In this update, I’m going to share two of my favorite charts.
Plus, I’ll reveal one mining stock setting up for a buy signal.

First and foremost, a very happy and healthy New Year to all! Wishing you and your family a year of happiness, health, and prosperity.
That was a nice bounce overall in the market. Hopefully it holds.

It’s a week full of trades!.
There are so many opportunities out there in this stock market that keeps on grinding higher.
The bulls continue to get rewarded throughout the back half of the year and we see no evidence of that slowing down.
Yesterday’s Long Tesla Call is setting up nicely.
Over in our Trading Room, we traded $TSLA from the long side both yesterday and already this morning, successfully both times.
The longer-term trade looks ready to trigger as well.
In the meantime, I bought this Micron $MU that I think also provides us with a favorable risk vs reward opportunity. [Read more…]

I’ve said many times that this market is not for the faint of heart.
The $SPX broke 3,800. Next support is at 3,780, then 3,764. Resistance is at 3,840.

They say never to short a dull market.
It’s sure got dull, right?
Bitcoin’s volume and volatility have taken a summer holiday, with the biggest cryptocurrency’s monthly Bollinger bandwidth contracting to its third-lowest level in the last five years.
We’ve referenced this chart many times this year, giving us a great heads-up on when to anticipate volatility.
Just take a look at this volatility contraction…

When investing in the stock market, we always want to approach it as “a market of stocks.”
Regardless of the environment, there are always stocks showing leadership and trending higher.
We may have to look harder to identify them depending on current market conditions. But there are always stocks that are going up.
The same can be said for weak stocks. Regardless of the environment, there are always stocks that are going down, too.
We already have multiple scans focusing on stocks making all-time highs, such as Hall of Famers, Minor Leaguers, and the 2 to 100 Club.
We filter these universes for the stocks showing the best momentum and relative strength characteristics.
Clearly, we spend a lot of time identifying and writing about leading stocks every week, via multiple reports.
Now, we’re also highlighting lagging stocks on a recurring basis.
