Technical Trading Charts for
Silver, Gold, Oil & the Broad Market

by Chris Vermeulen

I have put together some interesting charts using the weekly time frame because they provide a cleaner picture of what to look for in the financial markets over the next 3-6 months.

Silver Weekly Outlook & Technical Analysis

Silver is a super charged gold investment in my opinion. It moves much more freely than gold because so few investors actually trade/own it. When general investors are looking for a safe haven they buy gold. Active traders and seasoned investors like to buy silver because it can post massive returns while gold is bogged down with tens of thousands of sellers.

I find silver moves in a more emotional pattern (panic buying and panic selling), and with that comes volatility for sharp parabolic spikes and fast sell offs.

This chart below is the weekly chart showing a clean bull flag breakout. Using technical analysis we can calculate a measured move which is about the $19.50 level. This is done by measuring the rally from the bottom in October to the top in February. If you calculate this move again from the high then you arrive at the $19.50 -$20 level.

If we see this price action over the following weeks, then we will be cautious for a double top pattern. Tightening our stops will allow us to lock in more profit which is what I like to do when trading extended moves or if I think we will get a double top.

Gold Weekly Outlook & Technical Analysis

Gold is doing much the same as silver. The only real difference is that gold has already tested the high twice forming a potential double top. If gold prices hold up this week then I expect we will see new money move into gold with this bullish chart.

Gold had a $300 rally from the bottom in November, and if we see prices break out above the $1000 level, then the measured move for gold is $1300. Again this is calculated from the trading range (low in November to the high in February).

Crude Oil Weekly Outlook & Technical Analysis

Crude oil trading is a very hot topic and this weekly chart shows the beginning of a potentially massive rally which could send energy stocks through the roof again.

Oil formed a cup & handle pattern and broke out this week signaling a buy point for many traders. The upside measured move for this is the $75 area, but it could push even higher to the $90 level because the cup & handle pattern is one of the most powerful long term patterns. Oil has such a big following not to mention it’s extremely over sold after that crazy sell off the past 6 months, we should see money move into oil.

Broad Equities Market Weekly Outlook & Technical Analysis

I was playing with some charts today and stumbled across this interesting chart. I found that in a bear market when the QQQQ (tech stocks) are out performing the IWM (small caps) by 10+% the bear market rally rolls over and starts another leg down.

I thought the NASDAQ out performing everything else was unique this year, but when I looked back and noticed this happens near the top of every bear market rally it got me thinking.

After looking at the recent bear market I reviewed the last bull market from 2003. I noticed that the IWM (small caps) out perform tech in the same way during the bull markets. So when small cap stocks were 10+% above tech, the market would roll over and consolidate before rallying to make a new high again. Take a look at the chart below.

TheGoldAndOilGuy’s Trading Conclusion:

That being said the broad market in my opinion is way over bought and currently at resistance levels. Money is starting to move into precious metals and other commodities in anticipation of this over bought market.

Gold and silver both sold off a week before the broad market started is rally in March. The extreme over sold condition in equities was obvious to see by professionals locking in profits and buying stocks which are now up huge in the past 2 months. I think this is what we could be seeing now but in reverse.

Money is slowly rotating out of stocks and being put to work in precious metals and commodities. I will continue to update these trading charts every week.
