Reversals

The dollar formed a bearish reversal on Wednesday.

In The Mid-Week Update I discussed how Wednesday’s bearish reversal saw the dollar close back below the converging 50 day MA and 200 day MA. This shifts the odds to a peak on day 8 — which indicates a left translated daily cycle formation.

Well the dollar reversed again on Thursday.

The dollar found support at the rising 10 day MA on Thursday and is in the process of breaking convincingly above the converging 50 day MA and 200 day MA to negate Wednesdays bearish reversal. The dollar is in the process of also breaking above the upper daily cycle band. A close above the upper daily cycle band will end the daily downtrend and begin a daily uptrend.

And this may have caused the Miners to peak.

The Miners formed a bearish reversal on Thursday in response to the dollar’s rally. A swing high and close below the 10 day MA will signal the daily cycle decline.

Bearish Reversal

Stocks formed a bearish reversal on Friday.

The big picture show us that stocks have not formed a recognizable DCL since late October.  Friday was day 43, placing stocks deep in their timing band for a DCL. Friday’s bearish reversal eases the parameters for forming a swing high. A break below 5117.50 will form a swing high. Then a close below the 10 day MA will signal the daily cycle decline. Stocks are currently in a daily uptrend.  They will remain in their daily uptrend unless they close back below the lower daily cycle band.

BTC has been volatile over the past 2 weeks causing the status of the daily cycle to not be clear.And the volatility continued on Thursday.  Thursday’s bearish reversal calls into question if day 23 was an early DCL.The bearish divergence on the oscillators suggests that Thursday was day 30 for the daily cycle.If so, then a close below the 10 day MA will signal the daily cycle decline.While the status of the daily cycle is not clear, what is clear is that BTC is is currently in a daily uptrend.  BTC will remain in its daily uptrend unless it closes below the lower daily cycle band.

Gold Battle Line

Gold closed at an all time high on Friday.

Gold broke higher on Monday, but then formed a bearish reversal on the day.

A swing high and break below the daily cycle trend line will signal the daily cycle decline. A peak on day 14 shifts the odds towards a right translated daily cycle formation, which aligns with gold being in a daily uptrend.

A case can be made that day 26 was not a DCL, but a half cycle low, making Monday day 40 of a stretched daily cycle.

Regardless of the daily cycle count, there is a real battle going on at the previous all time high of 2089.20.

While gold may lose this battle and decline into a DCL, the next daily cycle is where gold could breakout and sustain a trending move.

Potential Failed Breakout

Stocks formed a bearish reversal on Monday followed by a swing high on Tuesday.

The rally out of the day 30 low looked, in real time, as if stocks printed an early DCL. However, stocks did not deliver any bullish follow through this week. Instead of turning the 10 day MA higher, stocks lost the 10 day MA on Tuesday to close back below the breakout level. That, along with the bearish divergence on the oscillators, indicate that stocks did not complete their daily cycle decline.

Bitcoin Breakout

GBTC had been consolidating for the past 3 weeks — until Monday.

GBTC broke bullishly out of consolidation on Monday. However it formed a bearish reversal on Tuesday. Tuesday was day 39, placing GBTC in its timing band for a DCL. Typically, breakouts that occur in the timing band of a daily cycle decline are not usually sustained and often any gains are given back. A swing high and close back in the consolidation zone would signal the daily cycle decline.
