Is this ETF Laying the Foundation for a Rally in Crude Oil?

Picking bottoms is not something one should do if you're going to be a successful trader. But looking at market that may be forming a bottom is a good exercise, and one that you should be doing on a regular basis. I had done this before gold reversed to the upside traded over $1300 an ounce. Maybe it's time to look at crude oil and see if it's beginning to set itself up for a move to the upside.
Technically, the Trade Triangles remain negative on crude oil, so there is no reversal showing up with those technical tools. The story is a little bit different with the RSI indicator. This particular indicator is showing that there is a big positive divergence on the Energy Select Sector SPDR ETF (PACF:XLE), and it is one that spans months.
Today I'm looking at the ETF XLE and the fact that if it closes higher for the week, it will be a positive sign. The previous week saw a very important Japanese candlestick formation call a "Dragon Fly Doji" this can be interpreted as a strong indication of reversal. It all depend's on how XLE closes this Friday.
Should XLE close higher than ($76.56) the market will have created a "Bullish Engulfing Line" confirming that the previous weeks, "Dragon Fly Doji" was indeed a reversal to the upside.
Take a look at both charts, one is a daily graph showing a large positive divergence on the RSI indicator. The other graph is a weekly Candlestick chart highlighting the “Dragon Fly Doji” and the potential for a “Bullish Engulfing Line” to occur this week.
So here is my 3 step strategy for the Energy Select Sector SPDR ETF (PACF:XLE):
1. I'm going to watch this market closely and have it on my radar.
2. I want to watch the 50 line on the RSI. A close over this line will be another important clue and strong indication that this market is bottoming or has bottomed out.
3. I'm also watching the weekly Trade Triangle on crude oil, should this Trade Triangle turn green, you'll want to BUY XLE, as it closely tracks crude oil.
Now let's see how the Energy Select Sector SPDR ETF (PACF:XLE) does in the future.
Every success with MarketClub,

The Odds Are In Your Favor To Trade Gold This Quarter

Using MarketClub's weekly and daily Trade Triangles, I have found that over the last 6 1/2 years, the second quarter of the year has shown the most consistent profits in gold. These past results showed a quarterly gain on average of $7,104.83 on one futures contract.

Gold (XAUUSDO) enjoyed a nice move up earlier in the year, reaching a high of $1393.35 and has pulled back to an important Fibonacci support area. I want to watch this market very carefully and wait for the weekly Trade Triangle to turn green to get bullish on gold. That's not to say I am not longer term bullish, it only means that my timing will kick in when the weekly Trade Triangle turns into a green Trade Triangle.



Besides the Fibonacci support area, the RSI indicator is also at a very low level, similar to that of December 2013.

Trading Results

Q2 of 2008            $965.00
Q2 of 2009            $870.00
Q2 of 2010         $7,057.00
Q2 of 2011         $6,700.00
Q2 of 2012         $4,223.00
Q2 of 2013       $31,260.00
TOTAL             $42,629.00
AVE GAIN         $7,104.83

The results are based on signals using MarketClub's real time spot gold prices and margin of $8,333. This particular trading strategy and results are based on trading one futures contract, both from the long and short side. An ETF could be substituted, but I suspect the results would be quite different.

Trading Rules

How to use MarketClub's Trade Triangles to trade gold:

Use the weekly Trade Triangle to determine the major trend and initial positions. Use the daily Trade Triangles for timing purposes.

Gold entry and exit signals are generated from the spot Gold (XAUUSDO) chart.

Let me give you an example: if the last weekly Trade Triangle is GREEN, this indicates that the major trend is up for that market. You would use the initial GREEN weekly Trade Triangle as an entry point. You would then use the next RED daily Trade Triangle as an exit point. You would only reenter a long position if and when a GREEN daily Trade Triangle kicked in.

You would then use the next RED daily Trade Triangle as an exit point, provided that the GREEN weekly Trade Triangle is still in place and the trend is positive for that market. The reverse is true when you have a RED weekly Trade Triangle. You would use the initial RED weekly Trade Triangle as an entry point for a short position. You would then use the next GREEN daily Trade Triangle as an exit point.

Only Trade With Risk Capital

Even if the odds are in your favor, don't forget that there are no guarantees in trading and only funds that you can afford to lose should be used to trade with.

See you in the markets!

Are the Coffee Bulls Getting the Green Light? JO JVA

Today we are going to take a look at the technical picture for the March Coffee contract NYBOT:KC.H14.E

We'll be analyzing the current coffee chart using the MarketClub Trade Triangle technology. Full disclosure, we are long coffee using the ETF JO.

With futures we use the weekly MarketClub Trade Triangles to tell us the trend and the daily MarketClub Trade Triangles for timing the entry and exits to the trade.

Coffee made a base, has made a breakout of the base to the upside and a test of the base, which means a bottom is probably in for Coffee.

When ever the weekly MarketClub Trade Triangle is green, then you can use daily green Trade Triangles as entry signals to go long in the market.

Adam weighs in ...... Is Gold Indicating Trouble Ahead?

Is it time to go long gold in a big way? Our trading partner Adam Hewison, President of INO.com and Co-creator of MarketClub, has come out with his call on gold for the near term. Are you trading with him or against him?.....

As another trading week comes to a close, it is worth noting that gold is closing at a nine week high for a Friday. I believe that this is a significant event, and believe that gold has now put in a base to move higher later this year and next year.

It's a little ironic that hedge fund traders, like George Soros, recently divested themselves of their long gold positions, as it now appears that the market has put in a major base and wants to move higher.

Our long term monthly Trade Triangle for gold continues to be in a negative mode. However, this Trade Triangle [click here to get a free trial of Adam's Trade Triangle technology] is slowly beginning to flatten out and I would not be surprised to see it change to green in the not too distant future. In today's report, I will be covering gold and a gold stock that you may want to trade, as it flashed a major buy signal today.

I will also be covering some very interesting stocks that I think have potential on the upside after their recent correction from their highs, as well as my analysis of the major markets and what I am looking for in next week's market.

Have a great trading day and a super weekend,

Is this a buy signal in coffee? JO

Our trading partner Jim Robinson of INO.com is talking coffee today and he is sharing his expert analysis of charts to our readers. Each week he'll be be analyzing a different chart using our Trade Triangle technology and his experience. Today he is going to take a look at the technical picture of Coffee, contract (NYBOT_KC.Z13.E). Here at The Crude Oil Trader we are using ticker JO for our current coffee trades.

This week let's take a look at the December Coffee futures chart.

We use the weekly MarketClub Trade Triangle to tell the trend when trading futures and the daily MarketClub Trade Triangle to time the trade. December Coffee is on a weekly green MarketClub Trade Triangle and a daily red MarketClub Trade Triangle which is just exactly the way we want the Triangles to line up for a buy setup.

If December Coffee trades higher from here and puts in a daily green MarketClub Trade Triangle that is the place to go long because the weekly and daily Trade Triangles will then both be pointing up. If a long trade does happen in Coffee, then the stop if wrong is if Coffee trades lower and puts in a red daily Trade Triangle.

This is a great way to trade because we are getting long with the trend and will catch all the big trending moves when they happen, while cutting our loses short if the trade doesn't move our way. If Coffee continues lower from here and puts in a red weekly Trade Triangle then the long trade is off, which is fine, as we are following what the market is telling us, and lower prices from here would cancel the current long trade setup.

Coffee is a Chart to Watch right now, because a big move higher from here could be about to happen.

Is it finally time to go long coffee?

If you have been following us you know we have been adding to our long coffee position using ticker "JO". Are you on board or do you see coffee going lower. Coffee bears have gained back some momentum the last couple of days. Today we've asked our friend Jim Robinson at INO.com to provide his expert analysis of the coffee trade to our readers. Each week he'll be be analyzing a different chart for us using our Trade Triangles and his experience.....

Coffee could be turning bullish, so this week let's take a look at the Coffee Chart. With Futures we use the weekly MarketClub Trade Triangle for trend, and the daily MarketClub Trade Triangle for timing.

*    Coffee put in a weekly green Trade Triangle on what looks to be the breakout to the upside of the base.

*   Coffee put in a daily red Trade Triangle on what looks to be a test of the base.

*   If Coffee trades higher and puts in a green daily Trade Triangle odds would be with bulls.

The MACD made a bullish momentum divergence at the lows and is currently on a buy signal, which supports the bullish case for Coffee as of right now. If Coffee were to continue lower from here and puts in a red weekly MarketClub Trade Triangle, then odds would not be with the bullish case for Coffee any more.

So even though it looks to be a big bullish opportunity for Coffee, we'll just have to sit back and let the market tell us what to do next. So this looks to be a great Chart to Watch right now, as exciting things could be happening on the upside in Coffee soon.

The Gold Meltdown – What Happened?

In today’s Trade School video, we’re going to be looking into what caused the recent meltdown in gold prices. How could gold drop so precipitously in such a short time, given what’s going on in the world? Did it have anything to do with the ETF GLD or was a country forced to sell its precious metals to satisfy creditors?

We will share with you how you could have systematically made money in gold using our Trade Triangle technology, which has produced some very positive results over the years.

Since 1975, there have been 13 bear markets with an average drop around 14%. This would put gold below the $1,300 level, around $1,280.

In this short 4 minute video on gold, we will illustrate the importance of having a solid game plan and a market proven approach. We will go through each trade in gold and share with you the results of using our Trade Triangle approach from the beginning of the year.

This approach is not for everyone, but we think you will agree that the results certainly speak for themselves.

Say Goodbye to Yellow Gold and Hello to Black Gold

The gold market continues to frustrate the bulls and confound conventional wisdom. The market action yesterday and early today can only be seen as negative. With both our weekly and monthly Trade Triangles red, we see no reason to get excited about gold moving higher at the moment, so for now say goodbye to yellow gold.

On the other side of the ledger, say hello to black gold. Yesterday our weekly green Trade Triangle kicked in and gave a buy signal in the crude oil market. Yesterday's buy signal was in line with the longer term monthly Trade Triangle, which has been bullish and in place for quite some time. We see the renewed bull market in crude oil continuing from here based on our Trade Triangle technology. With gasoline and crude oil prices moving higher, it does raise concerns about gas prices. If gas prices become so expensive, is that going to derail the economy?

Crude Oil and Gold Continue Strong Down Trend, Natural Gas Enjoys the Stronger Dollar

Rags to riches, don't miss this short cut!

Crude oil closed down $1.70 a barrel at $93.08 today. Prices closed near the session low today and hit a fresh 6 1/2 month low. The bears have the solid overall near term technical advantage and gained still more power today. A stronger U.S. dollar index today was bearish for the crude market. With a Trade Triangle Technology Score of -100, this market is in a strong downtrend. All traders should be in short positions in crude oil with appropriate money management stops.

Natural gas closed up 7.0 cents at $2.501 today benefiting from the U.S. Dollars solid upside and near term momentum and overall near term advantage over other currencies. Natural gas prices closed near the session high today and saw short covering. And while the nat gas bulls still have some upside "near term" technical momentum, the nat gas bears do still have the overall near term technical advantage, however.

Gold futures closed down $4.20 an ounce at $1,556.80 today. Prices closed near mid-range today and hit another fresh 4 1/2 month low. The key “outside markets” were again in a bearish posture for gold today, as the U.S. dollar index was higher and the crude oil market was lower. Serious near term chart damage has been inflicted recently. Gold bears have the solid near term technical advantage. With a Trade Triangle Technology Score of -90, the gold market is in a strong downtrend. All traders should still be in short positions in gold with appropriate money management stops.

Has Gold Embraced it’s Fibonacci Number and Began to Base Out?

Is it safe to start buying Gold Stocks yet?

Yesterday the gold market pulled back into a perfect 61.8% Fibonacci retracement. We expect this market to begin to regroup around current levels between $1600 and $1620. With a trading score of -90 the gold market is in a strong downward trend. Look for resistance to come in between $1680 and the $1700 level. With all three of our Trade Triangles negative for gold we expect this market to remain on the defensive. Long term and intermediate term traders should be in short positions in gold with appropriate money management

But despite that gold [April contract] posted an inside day with a higher close on Thursday as it consolidated some of the decline off February's high. The high range close sets the stage for a steady to higher opening on Friday. Stochastics and the RSI are turning bearish signaling that sideways to lower prices are possible near term.

If April extends the decline off February's high, the 75% retracement level of the December-February rally crossing at 1592.70 is the next downside target. Closes above Monday's high crossing at 1682.80 would confirm that a short term low has been posted.

First resistance is Monday's high crossing at 1682.80. Second resistance is the reaction high crossing at 1696.90. First support is Wednesday's low crossing at 1612.30. Second support is the 75% retracement level of the December-February rally crossing at 1592.70.

We show you where we think this precious metal is headed in today’s video.

Is Crude Oil Reversing off our Fibonacci Target?

Using 3X ETF $NUGT to Trade Gold and our Momentum Reversal Method

Crude oil [May contract] closed higher on Monday as it consolidated some of last week's decline. The high range close sets the stage for a steady to higher opening on Tuesday. Stochastics and the RSI remain neutral to bearish signaling that sideways to lower prices are possible near term.

If May extends last week's decline, the 38% retracement level of the October-March rally crossing at 97.84 is the next downside target. Closes above the reaction high crossing at 108.70 are needed to confirm that a short term low has been posted.

First resistance is the broken October-February uptrend line crossing near 105.95. Second resistance is the reaction high crossing at 108.70. First support is today's low crossing at 102.06. Second support is the 38% retracement level of the October-March rally crossing at 97.84.

We continue to like the long term chart formation in crude oil, which we believe will eventually push this market higher until early April. We are looking for crude oil to make its highs probably somewhere in the April-May period. With a score of -60, this commodity is currently in a trading range.

With our monthly Trade Triangle in a positive mode, we expect that the downside pressure in this market has come to an end. Long term traders should remain long this market with appropriate money management stops.

Crude Oil Closes Above $108....Is This a Positive Sign?

Crude oil [April contract] closed higher on Monday while extending the trading range of the past two weeks. The high range close sets the stage for a steady to higher opening on Tuesday. Stochastics and the RSI are turning neutral to bullish signaling that sideways to higher prices are possible near term. If April renews this winter's rally, the 2011 high crossing at 114.09 is the next upside target.

Closes below last Thursday's crossing at 103.78 are needed to confirm that a short term top has been posted. First resistance is this month's high crossing at 110.55. Second resistance is the 2011 high crossing at 114.09. First support is last Thursday's low crossing at 103.78. Second support is the reaction low crossing at 97.73.

The close in crude oil today over the $108.20 level should be viewed as extremely positive for this commodity. We believe the low that was seen last Thursday is a cyclic low similar to what occurred in early February and the middle of December. If this is indeed the case, we expect this market to start moving higher this week.

We continue to like the chart formation which we believe will eventually push this market higher until early April. We are looking for crude oil to make its highs probably somewhere in the April, May period. With a Score of +75, we believe this market is regrouping to move higher later in the month. With two of our Trade Triangles in a positive mode, we expect to see further gains in crude oil. Long term traders should be long this market with appropriate money management stops.

Did Crude Oil Make a Cyclic Low on Thursday?

We believe the low that was seen on Thursday, which has good support at the $104 level, is a cyclic low similar to what occurred in early February and the middle of December. If that is indeed the case, we would expect this market to start moving higher next week. We continue to like the chart formation, which we believe will eventually push this market higher until early April.

We are looking for crude oil to make its highs probably somewhere in the April, May period. With a Score of -60, we believe this market is regrouping to move higher later in the month. With our monthly Trade Triangle in a positive mode, we expect to see further gains in crude oil. Long term traders should be long this market with appropriate money management stops.

Crude oil [April contract] closed higher on Friday as it extends the trading range of the past two weeks. The high range close sets the stage for a steady to higher opening on Monday. Stochastics and the RSI remain neutral to bearish hinting that a short term top might be in or is near.

Closes below last Wednesday's crossing at 104.35 are needed to confirm that a short term top has been posted. If April renews this winter's rally, the 2011 high crossing at 114.09 is the next upside target.

First resistance is this month's high crossing at 110.55. Second resistance is the 2011 high crossing at 114.09. First support is Thursday's low crossing at 103.78. Second support is the reaction low crossing at 97.73.

Disappointing Day For Crude Oil Bulls

It was a disappointing day for the bulls in crude oil, as this market pulled back to an area where it should begin to find support around the $105 level We continue to favor the long side of this market and expect it will improve into early April.

We are looking for crude oil to make its highs probably somewhere in the April May period. With a Trade Triangle score of +55, we believe this market is regrouping to move higher later in the month. We expect to see further gains in crude oil. All traders should be long this market with appropriate money management stops.

Crude oil [April contract] closed down $1.88 a barrel at $104.84 today. Prices closed nearer the session low today and hit a fresh two week low. The market was pressured by a stronger U.S. dollar index today. Crude oil bulls still have the overall near term technical advantage but did fade today.

The New Bull Market.....and it's OIL!

Today we will use our Trade Triangle Technology and figure out Oil’s next big move.

It appears as though the crude oil market [April contract] is coiling up and getting ready to spring upwards.

Here is our 3 main reasons for being bullish on crude oil.

# 1: All our Trade Triangles are green indicating that a very strong trend is in place.

# 2: Crude Oil tends to make major lows every eight or nine months (last major low in October) look at the weekly chart on the video and I’ll show you this.

# 3: The Crude Oil market tends to make a major high every 11 or 12 months.

Presently we are about 6 to 7 weeks away from making a major high in Crude. This cyclic pattern, if it persists, should push Crude up and into a new 6 week high in late March or early April. A move and close on Friday over $103.38 should be viewed as very bullish for Crude Oil, indicating sharply higher levels to come in the weeks ahead.

Big Picture: Strong Trend +100
Trade Triangles: Long Term = Bullish....Intermediate Term = Bullish....Short-Term = Bullish

MarketClub scoring: Trading Range (50 to 65) : Emerging Trend (70 to 80) : Strong Trend (85 to 100)

March crude oil was higher overnight as it extends this month's rally. Stochastics and the RSI are overbought but remain neutral to bullish signaling that sideways to higher prices are possible near term.

If March extends this month's rally, January's high crossing at 103.90 is the next upside target. Closes below the 20 day moving average crossing at 99.36 would temper the near term bullish outlook.

First resistance is the overnight high crossing at 102.95. Second resistance is January's high crossing at 103.90. First support is the 20 day moving average crossing at 99.36. Second support is this month's low crossing at 95.44.

Is Crude Oil in a Short Term "Regrouping Phase"

We are looking for the crude oil market [April contract now] to be on the defensive for the next couple of days, but then expect it to regroup and start moving higher once again. We are looking for crude oil to make it’s highs probably somewhere in the May period.

Once over $102 a barrel, this market should skyrocket. We want to pay close attention to this market as we believe that the recent market action is reflecting an important cyclic low period for this market. If this is true, this market could be headed substantially higher. With a Score of +55, this market we remain in a trading range.

We remain longer term positive on this market. With our monthly and daily Trade Triangles in a positive mode, we expect we will see further market consolidation in crude oil. Long term traders should be long this market with appropriate money management stops.

Crude Oil Finding Support, Bulls Must Defend $93.50 to Avoid Major Chart Damage

It would appear that for the short term crude oil is finding support around the $95.50 a barrel area. A close below the $93.50 level seen on December 18th would confirm a double top, pivot point formation which would cause major chart damage and risk trading down into the $84 a barrel level. We do remain longer term positive on this market, however it needs to move and close over resistance at $100 to get its upside momentum into high gear. With only our monthly Trade Triangle positive, we expect we will see further market consolidation in crude oil. Long term traders should be long this market with appropriate money management stops.

Crude oil posted an inside day on Monday with a lower close. The mid range close sets the stage for a steady opening on Tuesday. Stochastics and the RSI are oversold but remain neutral to bearish signaling that sideways to lower prices are possible near term. If March extends January's decline, December's low crossing at 92.95 is the next downside target. Closes above the reaction high crossing at 101.39 are needed to confirm that a short term low has been posted. First resistance is the reaction high crossing at 101.39. Second resistance is the reaction high crossing at 102.24. First support is last Thursday's low crossing at 95.44. Second support is December's low crossing at 92.95.

Is The Double Top in For Crude Oil?

Only our longer term monthly Trade Triangle for crude oil remains positive on this market. The move today below the $98 support level puts this market in jeopardy of further weakness. A close below the $93.50 level seen on December 18th would confirm a double top pivot point formation, which would measure down to the $84 a barrel level.

We do remain longer term positive on this market, however it needs to move and close over resistance at $100 to get its upside momentum into high gear. With only our monthly Trade Triangle in positive mode, we expect we will see further market consolidation in crude oil. Long term traders should be long this market with appropriate money management stops.

March crude oil closed down $1.24 a barrel at $96.36 today. Prices closed nearer the session low today and hit another fresh six week low. Crude oil bulls are fading. Prices are in a four week old downtrend on the daily bar chart. The next near term upside price breakout objective for the crude oil bulls is producing a close above psychological technical resistance at $100.00 a barrel.

The gold market moved to its best levels since December 2nd, however it is at major resistance between the $1760 and $1800 levels. With our long term monthly Trade Triangle still in a negative mode, we cannot get excited about this market at the moment. We are not super bearish on this metal, however we just need further confirmation with the tools we know are successful in trading gold. Long term term traders should be in short positions in gold with appropriate money management stops. Intermediate term traders should be on the sidelines.

April gold futures closed up $9.40 an ounce at $1,758.90 today. Prices closed nearer the session high today and hit a fresh two month high. Gold managed gains today despite bearish “outside markets” that saw a firmer U.S. dollar index and sharply lower crude oil prices. Yet, gold rallied anyway on its technical strength. Gold bulls have the solid overall near term technical advantage and still have upside near term technical momentum on their side. A steep five week old uptrend is in place on the daily bar chart.

A solid close over the $104 is needed to drive this market to the $120 level. External world events can trigger moves in this commodity. With a Chart Analysis Score of +90 this market remains in a strong trend to the upside. The crude oil market has resistance starting at $104. Long and intermediate term traders should be long this market with appropriate money management stops.

Gold and Crude Oil Trend Analysis

With a Chart Analysis Score of -50, gold is stuck in a trading range. Despite the move up and pullback in gold last week, it did not change the status of our weekly Trade Triangle. We remain positive on this market longer term and expect we will see it move much higher in 2012 as inflation kicks in around the world. Long term traders should remain positive for this precious metal. Intermediate term traders should be out of this market at the moment and on the sidelines waiting for a buy signal with the weekly Trade Triangle.

BIG PICTURE   Trading Range
Monthly trade triangles for Long term trends = Bullish
weekly trade triangles for intermediate term trends = Bearish
daily trade triangles for short term trends = Bearish
