The 6/15 Weekend Report

Friday was day 6 of the dollar’s daily cycle.

Friday saw the dollar break through the 81.75 support level

This should precipitate a 12 to 20 day move down into a daily cycle low.

Should the dollar reverse and break above last Thursday’s high (6/07) which is currently labeled day 1, then the 6/06 low will need to be rephrased.

At this point, I do not think that is a likely outcome.
That would stretch the previous daily cycle to 32 days.
But with the Greek elections and the FOMC next week it is prudent to keep an open mind about alternative scenarios.

The silver lining to the possibility of the daily cycle bottom not printing yet means that the intermediate cycle low for the dollar will extend out, giving more room for gold and precious metals to rally.

The weekly chart shows a clearly that a top is In the process of forming.

The weekly cycle peaked on week 13 and formed a swing high this week.
This week also left behind a long upper shadow that is characteristic of a decline.

The weekly cycle ranges 18 – 22 weeks from trough to trough.
Since the average duration of a daily cycle is 4 – 6 weeks, this new daily cycle should find its low right in the middle of the timing band for an intermediate cycle low.

Also, a typical dollar decline of the final daily cycle into an intermediate cycle low is 2 – 4 weeks. Our labeling of a day one peak on the daily cycle is consistent with this pattern.

One observation on the weekly cycles is that the weekly cycles have been printing higher highs and higher lows.

Unless this weekly cycle decline takes out the February low, then the expectation for the next weekly cycle would be to print another higher high.

The yearly cycle shows a (stealth) low printed in February which we previously discussed https://likesmoneycycletrading.wordpress.com/2012/05/24/stealth-mode/

One of the clues that February was a yearly cycle low is the year end coil.

I have noticed these coils occurring at approximately half of the yearly cycle lows.

That makes June month 4 of the yearly cycle, which is a higher monthly high.
Until there is a failed weekly cycle, I do not expect the current yearly cycle to begin its journey into another yearly cycle low.

Now it has been a few weeks since we visited with the declining ten year trend line

I noticed something interesting off the 10/92 and 1/05 pivots …

I find it interesting that the current intermediate cycle appears to have retreated from this second trend line.

Stocks

I am going to begin with the weekly equity chart.

Free Image Hosting at www.ImageShack.us

Stocks have formed a weekly swing low and broke up through the declining trend line declaring a new equity intermediate cycle.

Free Image Hosting at www.ImageShack.us

Most new intermediate cycles rally at least 5 – 6 six weeks out of the intermediate cycle low.

Friday was day 9 for the equity daily cycle.

The expectation of the first daily cycle of a new intermediate cycle is to form as a right translated cycle.

A right translated daily cycle peaks after the mid-way point, usually after day 18 or so.

This suggests that the current daily cycle should see another 2 weeks of higher trending prices.

If the dollar’s daily cycle is in fact on day 6 and in decline that would be congruent with another two – three week equity rally.

June is month 8 on the yearly cycle.

The monthly chart is in the process of printing a reversal candle suggesting that June may be printing an early yearly cycle low.

The next equity 4 year low is due in 2013. The currently 4 year cycle is 39 months old. The last 4 year low declined 17 months into its 4 year low.

Perhaps an early yearly low now is setting up a brief rally before a more substantial sell off into a four year low in 2013.

Gold

My current framework for the dollar has a daily cycle low printing on last week, 6/07.

Free Image Hosting at www.ImageShack.us

Based partially on that, I have gold on day 5 of the current daily cycle.

Free Image Hosting at www.ImageShack.us

The intermediate cycle for gold is a little clearer than the daily cycle.

This was week 4 for gold’s weekly cycle.

Gold is coming off a triple bottom test which should provide a solid base to launch a new yearly cycle.

Free Image Hosting at www.ImageShack.us

Gold has been consolidating last year’s rally for 9 months.

Gold has printed stretched cycles in the past and appears to be in the process of doing so again.

May was month 16 of a stretched yearly cycle for gold.

A break above the declining trend line will confirm a new yearly cycle.
With gold still early in a new intermediate cycle, gold is likely to begin the new yearly cycle with the next monthly swing low.

The Miners

Friday was day 21 for the Miners daily cycle.

Free Image Hosting at www.ImageShack.us

The current cycle has a day 14 peak.
Friday the HUI closed just above the daily cycle trend line.
A break below Friday’s low will likely send the Miners into a daily cycle decline.

This was also week 4 for the intermediate cycle.

Free Image Hosting at www.ImageShack.us

The Miners are currently working through a congestion zone.

As we saw last week, there is a monthly swing low for the Miners.

Free Image Hosting at www.ImageShack.us

Very likely a new yearly and new three year cycle has begun.
A break of the declining trend line will confirm a new three year cycle.

The CRB
Free Image Hosting at www.ImageShack.us

The weekly CRB may be close to forming a weekly swing low.

Free Image Hosting at www.ImageShack.us

The CRB printed a 25 week low last week.
This week the CRB closed in the upper half of the weekly candle.
The CRB needs to break above 276.54 to from a weekly swing low.

A new intermediate cycle will likely begin a new three year cycle

    Likesmoney,
    Very interesting weekend report. A lot of cycles are synchronizing.

    Have a question on the 10/92 and 1/5 trend line on the dollar. Either I can’t remember, didnt know, or it is a trend you have been monitoring. What are this trend line’s importance? ( Do remember a long term dollar support line in the report I can’t find, maybe this is the one?? )

    Thanks,
    Jack Dog

      Jack Dog,

      Although I have seen it, I have not commented on this new trend line before.
      I find it interesting in the coincident and plan to monitor it.
      I am currently unsure if there is any significance to it.

    I don’t understand your “bonus” chart. What do the entries correspond to – for example for the dollar you have 13/13 for the long term. But what does 13/13 mean?

      Goldconstipation,

      A few days ago Duuuuuude asked, “I would love a link that gives your cycle counts for the asset classes you follow……. Something where at a glance, I can see where the daily and weekly cycles and intermediate cycles begin.”

      I been tracking cycles in chart that I post for sometime on a private blog.

      How to read it — let’s look at the weekly dollar count 13/15.

      The first number is the time period, in this case week, in which is the current cycle high. The second number gives the current cycle count.

      So for the weekly dollar, a peak on week 13 currently on week 15.

        That makes perfect sense now. I I have a suggestion you could also enter a third date of the average length of the cycle. For example the Weekly Dollar cycle could be 13/15/20. That would mean the dollar peaked on Week 13 of its weekly cycle. And the weekly cycle is currently on Week 15. And the average weekly cycle length is 20 weeks (or whatever the average is). That would make it clear though it might be more obvious to others.

        Also what is the time frame for “long term” (the first row). Is it 3 year cycle in the case of the dollar?

        And I think it is smart that you are starting to include bonds in your study as I think some cyclists miss this asset class from the four key assets (stocks, currency, commodities and bonds). Great blog.

        Goldconstipation,

        Here is a weekly look at TLT.

        TLT completed week 12 last week and is sitting right on the intermediate cycle trend line.
        A break of that trend line could send TLT into its weekly cycle low.

    goldstipation,

    I like that suggestion, thanks.

    I originally thought to chronicle the dollar’s fifteen year cycle under “long term” but defaulted to the three year cycle..

    Thanks for your cycle work. Very easy to understand !

    Question :
    What eliminates the possibility that the last Gold Monthly annual cycle low was perhaps at month 11 (Dec 29) and not 16 ?

    – A Month 11 gold low would place us currently in month 6 of a failed left translated annual gold cycle (headed down for roughly 6 more months).
    – Given where the USD is at in its 3 or 15 yr cycle, the USD could still drop for 2-3 weeks to touch its lower trend line at 79.8 (failed cycle at 78.5) before blasting off to 85+.
    – Gold could still blast off for 2-3 weeks to shy of 1790 before heading south.
    – And if the miners were in a 3rd 16 month cycle (you show 2 previous), they could move up shy of 1550 in the next 2-3 wks and then have 4 more months of down.

    What technical rules that you use would rule out a deflationary interpretation ? Thanks much

      Hammerman,

      I am glad you like the blog.

      I have wondered about December being a yearly low for gold and June being month 6, as well.

      I believe that gold is consolidating that massive run out of 2008.

      If gold does break below the lower trend line, that would support December being the yearly low and this is month 6.

      A break of the upper trend line will have me label May as the yearly cycle low.

      1. Hammerman Avatar
        Hammerman

        Thanks. I agree it could easily be either scenerio, A flip of the coin. I lean more to the medium term deflationary view right now with the next gold low IMO expected June 24 – July 7 range (based on 6 months from Dec 28).

    Ouch guys……….that is one UGLY UGLY UGLY lookin candle formed on the ol $DXY daily here today……..ugh.

    Curious to see how things play out here…as Im positive Ben will not be implementing further easing here this week..and perhaps markets are already settin up for next leg down.

    As well Elliot wise…..this would be very very close to a reasonable top of corrective “wave 2” retracing 50 – 62% of the last move down.

    As usual…markets are keeping everyone guessing..and not affording anyone the chance to just load a position and enjoy the ride one way or the other.

    I (doing this for a living several years now) have moved to 90% cash – taking small profits on long risk currencies vs USD and YEN – as this is on the cusp of blasting hard in either direction.

    Lets let the market show the way first….this is no time to be gambling.
