As we sit here on the Equinox weekend for 2013, its time to look at the behaviour of black gold. We have multiple ways to look at crude. We can do the futures curve. We can do the spot price. We can do $BRENT. We can do $GASO. What we can not do is ignore the data... Read More

One of these things is not like the other. Looks like the Canadian market has been sitting in Tim Horton's for a coffee break, but the US market has been drinking Red Bull for the morning shot. The charts below all have different number of dates... Read More

Over and over, the lesson in the markets is "Don't Fight The Major Trend". Over and over, technicians keep watch for a change in the major trend. The reason that stays true, is by the time the major trend is so obvious, the technicians are looking for the next one... Read More

Here is the Aussie Dollar Chart. Does it remind you of the Yen chart and the Canadian Dollar Chart at inflection points just a few months earlier? See my Wiley E. Coyote Blog if you missed them. The Australian Dollar just lost both the 40 WMA and the 10 WMA... Read More
