Forex Calls Recap for 12/8/11

Couple of winners on the session in GBPUSD, and we're still short and in the money. See below. New calls and Chat tonight, but Trade Balance in the morning is one of our Big Three each month, so half size.
Here's the US Dollar Index intraday with our market directional lines:

GBPUSD:
Triggered long at A, might have stopped one leg but nothing more at B as it only went exactly 3 pips under the stop level. Hit first target at C and closed final piece under entry. Triggered short at D, hit first target a E, and still have the position short with a stop over the line at F:

Tradesight Market Preview for 12/8/11

The ES settled up 9 handles on the day, close to the high of the recent range. Note that the pattern is now 8 days up. This is the first settlement above the 200dma on this impulse.

The NQ futures were not as strong as the financially influenced ES. Price was unchanged on the day and the close was below the intraday high of the move.

The 10-day Trin remains neutral:

The put/call ratio has yet to record a climatic spike to the downside:

The broker-dealer index was the top gun on the day and is now 8 days up.

The SOX outperformed the Naz and closed at a new high on the move. The next challenge is the September high.

The BKX was up 1% and is just below prior resistance at the 40 level.

The XAU did nothing and posted a narrow range inside day.

The BTK continues to hang on by a thread.

The OSX was the last laggard on the day, using the 10ema for intraday support. Note that the Seeker has an active 13 sell signal in place.

Tradesight Market Preview for 12/7/11

The market did very little on Tuesday, unable to move higher because of yesterday’s camouflage sell signal and supported by the latent bids from the bulls. There is nothing new technically other than the pattern printing 7 days up in the Seeker setup.

The NQ futures posted a similar day, weighed down by the camo sell signal. Volume across most trading vehicles was very, very light.

Multi sector daily chart:

The NYSE 10-day Trin has retreated back to the neutral area. While the oversold energy has now been depleted, there is room to go before an overbought reading is recorded.

GDX was the best performing sector on the day:

The SOX was slightly lower on the day:

The OSX posted a narrow range inside day:

The BKX was much weaker than the broad market but still managed to post an inside day. Keep in mind the resolution of an inside day usually packs more punch then a typical day.

Oil is still consolidating just above the 100 level.

Gold was lower on the day but recouped a bigger loss by settlement.
