    Dollar Index (DXY) ~ Daily Continuation

    It still looks like the wave down from 81.78 has further to develop -- it does notlook like a completed wave form at the 78.10 low. So, were likely seeing anexpanded flat -b- wave. It would not be a surprise to see the market rally to themid 80s before taking a larger leg down. 80.53 would be the 61.8% retrace of theproposed -a- wave and 138.2% of (a) = (c), a nice target for an expanded flatcorrection.

    Gold ~ Weekly Continuation

    Whenever a market meanders through a well-defined trendline as if it didnt evenexist, its typically a sign of a triangle development. Thats what Gold did in thecircled area. So, were going to stick with this idea--if its a triangle, it will be either aneutral triangle that ends near the a-wave bottom or it will be an expanding trianglewhere the d-wave high will exceed the b-wave peak and the e-wave will break belowthe c-wave low. An expanding triangle would be quite the whipsaw.

    Gold ~ Daily Continuation

    The tighter stop at $1,761 served the longs well in terms of loss avoidance. That level now becomes primary resistance asgold dropped like a stone last week. It did manage to hold the 38.2% of the entire advance but it seems like the yellow metalis just in the beginning stage of a multi-week correction that should take it down to $1,626 or lower.

    S&P 500 ~ Current Rally with Weekly Support

    As the Talking Heads sang Same as it ever was... The market continued its grind higher. Oneinteresting thing to observe is that the S&P 500 is struggling a bit to get back to the upper endof the trend channel--this is usually a signal of a market thats losing its energy. Bulls/Longsshould raise stops yet again because when this channel breaks, it should be fairly violent,a la the Gold market his week.

    Consider using 1352 and 1337 for first and secondlevels of support. 1337 would be a 23.6% retrace ofthe entire last move--a level that also aligns with priorshort term support.

    This would be support area on a breakdown.
