Stocks, Gold, Bonds, Markets Looking For a Top?

Stock-Markets / Financial Markets 2013 May 12, 2013 - 02:55 PM GMT

Stock-Markets

This is a chart (courtesy stockcharts.com) that is looking for a top, but it still has some room to overshoot in the next couple of weeks


Maybe 100 point fall, maybe more, depending on what happens to the gold price – which “should” rise according the technical theory based on the oversold oscillators below:

However, if we look at the gold price P&F chart, we see that another sell signal was given on Friday, May 10th:

This sell signal might have been “forced”, given the series of downside gaps on the one minute chart below (source ino.com):

In my view, we are watching markets that are being artificially prodded by investors who currently have too much cash at their disposal.

But there is a warning signal being given:

Note the “gap island reversals” on the 30 year bond price chart below:

Based on this next chart, the probability is high that the 30 year bond price will fall by at least 15.5 points to 127 – which implies that both preceding upside gaps will be covered.

Looking at all of the above together, it seems that liquidity is going to tighten in the weeks ahead. Which brings us to the following interview with Speaker Boehner that was reported on May 8th

Quote:

“ Far from preventing default, the Full Faith and Credit Act would essentially ensure it. That wouldn’t just put paying China ahead of senior citizens and members of the military — it would also hammer economic growth both in the United States and across the world. (HT Huffington Post)”

As John Mauldin pointed out in his latest missive, when a system is unstable, it doesn’t take much of a force to cause it to cascade downwards.

Ultimately, the question that needs to be asked is this:

Regardless of how much cash the Fed injects into the system, if the Federal Government is precluded from accessing it and if the sequester starts to bite, then how stable can the system be? Right now, it is surviving because of faith, but when the temperature rises as the blowtorch is applied by various interest groups demanding to be placed at the head of the payments queue, faith can be like the morning mist: One minute its there, the next minute it’s gone.

So, with the integrity of the entire system at stake, what is the probability that the Fed is going to stand and watch as the gold price “skyrockets”? Anyone for a whiskey and soda?
