Supporting Charts
Bonds TLT: printed a 6mn high recently but then reversed although it is holding a strong price location. Momentum is down and now negative but with a strong close today could turn up.
Gold GLD: Now printing in a stronger price location above 127.20, the 18mn poc. Momentum is positive and up but price is technically overbought, e.g. RSI(14) >70.
Oil USO: Printing above 36.11, the 1/2R off September’s high, in a strong price location and on Monday reached its highest level since mid-October.
