Sentiment: My (new) version of the Rydex Assets Ratio ended the week at 15.12. The ratio has fallen sharply over five days having reached 22.27 on 12/28, the highest ratio in the database.
Bonds: TLT – on a 30 minute basis the 15 month poc recently migrated to 126.66. If price remains below this level it could be a negative. I would much prefer TLT printing above this level if I was looking at the long side.
Dollar Index: in early July chart broke below 95.50, the major poc = weak LT price location. 12/28 broke below the 1/2R off the Sep low and last week printed a three month low.
Gold: The major poc recently migrated back up to 121.00 and currently chart prints above this level in a strong price location. On Thursday cash gold printed a three month high.
Oil: USO – the major poc recently migrated higher to 11.41. The migration of a maj poc often preceeds a directional move. Last week USO has reached its highest level since June 2016.
GBPUSD: currently printing above 1.3234 (1/2R) in a strong price location.
EURUSD: in December chart tested the 1 year poc Support at 1.1755 and held. Is up from there. Last week the chart approached (but not exceed) the September high. Six day low printed today.
USDJPY: two failed probes into the 113.70 maj poc Resistance in December.
