What to expect now:
"Courtesy of www.decisionpoint.com", we have included a monthly graph of the NYSE.  We discussed this graph in detail in the recent past, we said,  "In a nutshell, we said that we are anticipating a pull back to support near the 6800 level over the next week or two.  The 6800 level equates to the 1155 range on the S&P 500 and that range should hold as support.  The market should start a bounce from that level as long as volume is light on the test of that support area."  Trouble is that the NYSE did not quite get down to support.  The lowest the NYSE got was 6985 area and 185 points short of our target.   From the 6985 level the NYSE has started a bounce and this bounce may continue to the previous high near the 7250 range because the NYSE McClellan Summation index is now trending up.  When the McClellan Summation is trending up the NYSE usually follows.  We don't think the market will travel beyond the 7250 range however because the NYSE Summation index made a "Triple Top" going into the January 3 high.  A "Triple Top" on the Summation index implies an intermediate term top was made on the January high.  Therefore, it appears to us that consolidation phase has started where the January high of 7250 on the NYSE is resistance and at some point the 6800-support area will be seen.    We are seeing a lot more neutral to bearish sectors than bullish sectors right now and that tells me that there may be sector rotation going form bearish to bullish back to bearish again before the market starts another impulse wave to the upside.  We still anticipate the 6800 well be seen and may be the place where an intermediate term bullish signal gets triggered.  However, the 6800 level (time wise) may  take several weeks if not months before it's seen.  If thing change, we will change with them, but for now we are anticipating a trading range where 6800 is support and 7250 is resistance.  If volume is light on the test of the 7250 area, we may consider a short at that level with anticipated downside target to 6800 level.   We are staying neutral on the Market for now.

The "Oil Service" index appears to be in a bullish mode and we like HOFF at a little lower price.  We'll send a report if a buy signal is triggered on HOFF.

Sold 1/2 eght at 4.20 (60% gain) and 1/2 at 3.50 for 47% gain (stop at 3.50 was hit).  On 12/30, we bought SQNM at 1.36.  Support near 1.20 target near 4.50.

Nasdaq Composite:

The Nasdaq is running into a "Gap" that formed between 1/19 to 1/20 near the 2070 level and volume has shrank going into this gap area and implies the 2070 range may hold as resistance.   Next support down comes in near the 1975 range.  Staying flat this index.


GOLD Market:

"Timer Digest" has ranked Tim Ord as the #2 gold timer for 2004.

It appears the XAU is close to the bottom of a "Down-Sloping Wedge" pattern.  We have had cycles for a low due in late January to Early February and we are in this time zone now.  On Friday, if the XAU can close above 92.59, a buy signal on the weekly time frame will be triggered. We remain bullish on gold issues. The next rally phase may take the XAU to 150 to 180 area.

We double our positions in BGO on (7/30/04) at 2.34 and we now have an average price at 2.70. Long CBJ for an average of price of 2.89. Long NXG average of 2.26. We doubled our position in GSS on  (7/30/04) at 4.04 and we have an average price of 5.24. Gss is not acting well for the moment.  No change for now. Long PMU at average 1.12.


The McClellan Oscillator closed today's at +119 and in overbought.

 The “Percent Volume” Indicator closed at .62 and near the bearish level.

 The "5 day ARMS" close today at 4.84 and neutral.

 Conclusion: Support near 1155 on S&P and resistance 1220.

 Longer Term Trend: Long SPX on 8/19/04 at 1091.23.  Upside target to old 2000 highs near the 1550 level.
