Stocks and precious metals down
Let’s get started with our Dow Theory commentary in
this blog.
The SPY and the Industrials closed down. The
Transports closed up. The primary trend remains bearish and the secondary bullish.
Volume was down today. Since stocks closed down today,
it has a bullish connotation, as the decline was not confirmed by volume which
retreated. The pattern of volume, though, remains bearish.
Gold and silver closed down today. We keep our eyes
fixated on the Nov 2 lows. If such lows are violated, a primary bear market
would be signaled by the Dow Theory. Until this happens (if at all), the
primary trend of the market remains bullish. The secondary trend is bearish.
GDX and SIL (the gold and silver miners ETF) closed
down today. The primary trend remains bullish and the secondary trend bearish.
Here you have the figures of the markets I monitor for
today.
