But Morgan Stanley added 6.5m shares on 14th August bringing total to 18m (Fintel)

This is about the annual index charts that Matt showed us on Sunday last, in particular that of the $SPX. If you look closely,  each of the last three bear markets has been identified by a candle with an upper shadow that is longer than its lower shadow. It would not have helped in 1987 because the market fell and recovered within the year, but in in both 2000 and 2007 which had the long upper shadows the greater part of the fall occurred in the years that followed. If the $SPX does not recover in the next couple of months, 2018 will be a year with a long upper shadow.

On the daily chart of the July futures the support broken a week ago has today been re-crossed to the upside securing my current position. It is a question now as to whether the move has strength or is just a rally prior to continuation of the major downtrend.

Possible reversal here. The 50% retrace point on the daily cash is about 124.0. I have entered a small position early, with July futures at 125.05 based on the hourly chart using Heikin Ashi.

CDE shows strong volume on the weekly chart. It has moved up well today. I trade it frequently, eight times in the last month without loss. The thing is at these ridiculous price leveks percentage gains can be quite handsome.                                                      GPR (Great Panther) has been very disappointing lately and I have hsd no success with it lately.

BAR(Balmoral) and KDX(Klondex) are two gold companies that I hold and both look promising.

Matt posted on the action in early October. Having fallen again since then Platinum is today moving up nicely.   

Following the significant fall last week I placed a long this morning. It seems to be moving up well at the moment

Long both of these with tight stops.

Coffee entered on the rebound from Friday's sharp fall.

Platinum is trying hard to break 1485. It failed to do so on Friday and again earlier today, but is now up to that level again.

Picking up nicely today. Another run like that in February would be good.

Over the last six weeks these have been in lockstep, but Monday the $NYAD has turned down.

It took two years for POT to decline from over 62 to under 29 in July 2013. From there it has recovered 20% in very steady fashion. Now, at 34.5 its upward trajectory is likely to break through the long term downtrend line.

Coeur Mining has been down when other miners have been up, but today the reverse and Coeur so steady that my trailing stops not triggered.

Molycorp has picked up the last couple of days and may make another attempt to break out.

A very neat diamond congestion on Balmoral (BAR). If it confirms a continuation pattern I shall add to my holding.

The short term silver Diamond pattern Completed today. This one was a topping formation and broke to the downside, but they frequently turn out to be continuations.

Not that one. This one has formed within this week, which is why it is best seen on the shorter timeframes. It broke to the upside Friday(now yesterday GMT) but came back a bit. If successful it should go straight up to $23 or more.

This week has seen the formation of a Diamond pattern on silver, best seen on 4hr or shorter timeframes. If confirmed the result will be a dramatic move from here.

Fourteen coffee futures trades during January in anticipation of a breakout, net result a small loss. When the break came at 120 on the 31st Jan., I missed it! Undeterred, entry at 137 last week and two trades have set everything right. Now closed out and looking at a developing pennant/triangle.

Thank you cmunny for the coal charts. Do you have a view on ANR which is falling steeply, perhaps also to a double bottom?

Thank you hamvestor, I have a position only for today, but expect to trade it regularly over time as it recovers. A broker report has just upgraded POT to $37, where it was not so long ago.

Fallen sharply back into the middle of its recent range. Very interesting today with narrow Bollingers on hourly chart. Low risk attempt at a long.
