Dow Theory Update for December 24: Trends unchanged.





Unless there are major changes in the markets, I will post sparingly in the next few days. I wish the followers of this Dow Theory blog a merry Christmas.

US STOCKS

The primary and secondary trend is bearish, as explained here:


Here is an additional post concerning the likely decline to follow primary bear markets signals:

Following the primary bear market signal of Friday 11th December, stocks made lower confirmed lows on 12/18/2015. Hence, any secondary (bullish) reaction is to be counted starting from these last recorded lows. Hitherto, no secondary reaction has materialized yet. Here you have an updated chart:

Snapshort of a primary bear market. No secondary reaction yet




GOLD AND SILVER

The primary and secondary trend is bearish as explained here.


GOLD AND SILVER MINERS ETF

The primary trend remains bullish as explained here.


SIL has violated its 9/10/2015 closing low (last primary bear market low) unconfirmed by GDX. Both ETF miners are under a strong secondary reaction (displayed by the red rectangles on the chart below).

We have to wait for GDX to confirm. Until then we cannot declare a new primary bear market. The longer it takes for GDX to confirm, the better the odds for the primary bull market to survive. However, price action is king. Since mid-November GDX has refused to confirm. Here you have an updated chart.

GDX (bottom) continues to refuse to confir. No primary bear market yet


Sincerely,

The Dow Theorist
