Long Term Gold / US Dollar Cycles Show Big Trends For Metals / Commodities / Gold & Silver 2020
By: Chris_Vermeulen
In the first part of our US$ and Gold research, we highlighted the US Dollar vs. Gold trends and how we believe precious metals have recently bottomed while the US Dollar may be starting a broad decline. We are highlighting this because many of our friends and followers have asked us to put some research out related to the US Dollar decline. Back in November, we published an article that highlighted the Appreciation/Depreciation phases of the market. This past research article – How To Spot The End Of An Excess Phase – Part II – is an excellent review item for today’s Part II conclusion to our current article.

Gold, Silver and the Commodities Supercycle / Commodities / Commodities Trading
By: Richard_Mills
On Tuesday, Nov. 24 copper prices hit a fresh 2020 pinnacle of $3.52 per pound on the Comex in New York. The red metal’s best performance in seven years was on the strength of Chinese manufacturing and construction expanding at its fastest in a decade. The country’s manufacturing PMI for November, seen as a leading indicator of copper usage, rose to 52.1 while the Caixin manufacturing PMI, which includes both large and small firms, jumped to a 10-year high of 54.9. Any number above 50 indicates an expansion. The construction index leapt from 59.8 in October to 60.5.

Custom Index Charts Suggest US Stock Market Ready For A Pause / Stock-Markets / Stock Markets 2020
By: Chris_Vermeulen
Weeks after the Election Rally initiated a moderately strong upside breakout rally, our Custom Index charts suggest the US stock market may be ready for a brief pause in trending before any new trends continue. Global traders and investors jumped into the US stock market just days before the US elections expecting something big to take place. The rally that initiated just days before the US election pushed our Custom Index charts well into the upper range of the 2016 to 2018 upward sloping price channel. This suggests the US stock markets have ended the downward price reversion and are now attempting to extend into the upward price channel – attempting to resume the upward trending that started after the 2016 elections.

Markets Rallying on Vaccine Hopes, but Higher Taxes and Inflation Loom / Stock-Markets / Stock Markets 2020
By: MoneyMetals
For months, including this past week, markets have rallied on hopes for a vaccine and more stimulus – even as the real economy is suffering under expanding virus restrictions and as a stimulus deal keeps getting thwarted by partisans in Washington.
Negative divergences are showing up, with market momentum waning and volume thinning in the major averages.
Another threat markets seem to be overlooking – at least for now – is that of tax hikes under an incoming Joe Biden administration.
More on that in a moment. But first, let’s review this week’s price moves in metals markets.

Is the Vaccine a Game-Changer for Gold? / Commodities / Gold & Silver 2020
By: Arkadiusz_Sieron
The vaccines are coming – we’re saved! Although the arriving vaccines are great for humanity, they are bad for the price of gold.In November, Pfizer and BioNTech announced that their mRNA-based vaccine candidate, BNT162b2, had demonstrated evidence of an efficacy rate above 90% against COVID-19, in the first interim efficacy analysis. As Dr. Albert Bourla, Pfizer Chairman and CEO, said:
Today is a great day for science and humanity. The first set of results from our Phase 3 COVID-19 vaccine trial provides the initial evidence of our vaccine’s ability to prevent COVID-19.
Indeed, the announcement is great news! After all, the vaccine is the ultimate weapon against the virus. There’s no doubt that we will get the vaccine one day. Thank God for scientists – they are really clever people who work hard to develop a safe vaccine! Why can’t we have more of them instead of so many economists? As well, the pandemic triggered unprecedented global cooperation to develop a vaccine as quickly as possible. The funds are enormous, while the bureaucrats eventually decided to behave like decent human beings for once and eased their stance in order to speed up the whole process. Great!

Beat the Coming ‘Taxflation’ Tsunami with Precious Metals / Commodities / Gold & Silver 2020
By: MoneyMetals
The final weeks of the tumultuous year that has been 2020 present opportunities for investors to get their financial houses in order ahead of the New Year.
Nobody knows what 2021 will bring. But new political risks are likely to emerge – including the threats of higher taxes and a more punitive IRS.
With control of the U.S. Senate still up for grabs pending runoff elections in Georgia next month, and the final outcome of the presidential race still in dispute, an environment of uncertainty will reign for the remainder of the year.
President Donald Trump continues to pursue a longshot campaign to rescind fraudulent election results in multiple states through the courts or state legislatures.

February 2020 COVID Breakdown Gap Acting As Support For Stock Market Rally / Stock-Markets / Stock Markets 2020
By: Chris_Vermeulen
The difference in the price setup of the initial February COVID-19 downside price gap on the INDU (Dow Jones Industrial Average) vs. the SPY (SPDR S&P500 ETF) clearly shows how this previous gap in price is acting as a critical support level for the current price rally. When the downside price gap first started, near February 25th, 2020, technical traders immediately identified this “impulse gap” as an important price structure to watch in the future. As the US stock markets recovered in late August/September, price levels began to attempt to “fill the gap” on the INDU chart. On the SPY chart in August/September, prices filled the gap then rallied to new highs – initiating a new upside price rally attempt.
My team and I believe these gap levels on the INDU and SPY currently represent a critical horizontal support level for both the INDU and the SPY. This gap range is now acting like a “hard floor” in price that should be watched by all traders. We will examine these setups on the charts below.
