Gold succumbs to gravity.
The gold market finally succumbs to gravity and flashes a caution signal.

The pause that refreshes.
After big gains in January and early February, the equity markets pause to catch their breath.

3 Stocks on the move today:
ABERCROMBIE & FITCH CO (ANF), SPRINT NEXTEL CORP (S), and HUMANA INC (HUM).
How did MarketClub’s Trade Triangle technology do against these three stocks?

Remember …
DON’T FIGHT THE MARKET … MOVE WITH THE MARKET

Now, let’s go to the charts and MarketClub’s Trade Triangle Technology.

S&P 500 INDEX
BIG PICTURE:  Strong Trend  +90
TRADE TRIANGLES: Long-Term = Bullish | Intermediate Term = Bullish | Short-Term = Bullish
MARKETCLUB SCORING SYSTEM: Trading Range 50 – 65 | Emerging Trend 70 – 80 | Strong Trend 85 – 100

After a strong upward move on Friday, it is not surprising that this market needs to pause and regroup before it can make another move to the upside. The $1360 level is our next immediate target zone. Look for support to come into this market around the $1330 level. Longer-term we expect this market to move up to the $1370 to $1380 level as early as May based on cyclic work. With all of our Trade Triangles green, a bull market is underway. Long and Intermediate term traders should now be holding long positions in this index with appropriate money management stops.

SILVER (SPOT)
BIG PICTURE: Trading Range  +55
TRADE TRIANGLES: Long-Term = Bearish | Intermediate Term = Bullish | Short-Term = Bearish
MARKETCLUB SCORING SYSTEM: Trading Range 50 – 65 | Emerging Trend 70 – 80 | Strong Trend 85 – 100

With a Score of +55, this market is clearly in a trading range. The key support level in silver is $33 an ounce. Should this level give way, we can see a fast move down to the next support levels of $31 and $32 an ounce. We think this market is at the top of a trading range cycle, but has not provided conclusive proof that the cycle has indeed topped out. With our long-term monthly Trade Triangle red, we expect to see this market run out of steam around current levels. This particular indicator has done extremely well in the past. Long-term term traders should be in short positions in silver with appropriate money management stops. Intermediate term traders should be on the sidelines.

GOLD (SPOT)
BIG PICTURE: Trading Range  +55
TRADE TRIANGLES: Long-Term = Bearish | Intermediate Term = Bullish | Short-Term = Bearish
MARKETCLUB SCORING SYSTEM: Trading Range 50 – 65 | Emerging Trend 70 – 80 | Strong Trend 85 – 100

Like silver, gold has a Score of +55 indicating that it is in a trading range. Today’s action gave a short term exit signal with a red daily Trade Triangle. The gold market has major resistance between the $1760 and $1800 levels. With our long-term monthly Trade Triangle still in a negative mode, we cannot get excited about this market at the moment. We are not super bearish on this metal, however we just need further confirmation with the tools we know are successful in trading gold. Long-term term traders should be in short positions in gold with appropriate money management stops. Intermediate term traders should be on the sidelines.

COPPER (MARCH)
BIG PICTURE: Strong Trend  +100
TRADE TRIANGLES: Long-Term = Bullish | Intermediate Term = Bullish | Short-Term = Bullish
MARKETCLUB SCORING SYSTEM: Trading Range 50 – 65 | Emerging Trend 70 – 80 | Strong Trend 85 – 100

With a Score of +100, we are in an strong trend for this commodity and continue to be positive on this market. As we have said in the past, copper generally reflects economic conditions, and as such is influenced by equity prices. Look for support at the $3.77 level. The market action looks as though it has created a large base to move higher in the future. Next upside target zone for copper is $4.00. Long and Intermediate term traders should now be holding long positions in this index with appropriate money management stops.

CRUDE OIL (MARCH)
BIG PICTURE: Trading Range  -70
TRADE TRIANGLES: Long-Term = Bullish | Intermediate Term = Bearish | Short-Term = Bearish
MARKETCLUB SCORING SYSTEM: Trading Range 50 – 65 | Emerging Trend 70 – 80 | Strong Trend 85 – 100

The crude oil market (March contract) has a -70 Score, indicating an emerging trend to the downside. The long-term monthly Trade Triangle continues to be in conflict and positive on crude. It would appear for the short term we have support around the $95.50 a barrel area. A close below the $93.50 level seen on December 18th would confirm a double top, pivot point formation which would measure down to the $84 a barrel level. We do remain longer term positive on this market, however it needs to move and close over resistance at $100 to get its upside momentum into high gear.  With only our monthly Trade Triangle positive, we expect we will see further market consolidation in crude oil. Long-term traders should be long this market with appropriate money management stops.

DOLLAR INDEX
BIG PICTURE: Trading Range  -55
TRADE TRIANGLES: Long-Term = Bullish | Intermediate Term = Bearish | Short-Term = Bullish
MARKETCLUB SCORING SYSTEM: Trading Range 50 – 65 | Emerging Trend 70 – 80 | Strong Trend 85 – 100

For the past ten days, this index has been moving between the $79.5 area on the upside and $78.5 area on the downside. The intermediate term trend is down for this market, however the longer term the trend is still positive. We expect to see some of the Fibonacci retracement levels that we discussed come into play in the days and weeks ahead. With a Score of -55, this market is in a broad trading range. The mixed picture could also mean we will see a pullback to the $78.26 level and the $77.43 level. Both of these levels represent Fibonacci retracement points of 50% and 61.8%. Long term traders should maintain long positions with the appropriate stops in place.

REUTERS/JEFFERIES CRB COMMODITY INDEX
BIG PICTURE: Trading Range  +70
TRADE TRIANGLES: Long-Term = Bearish | Intermediate Term = Bullish | Short-Term = Bullish
MARKETCLUB SCORING SYSTEM: Trading Range 50 – 65 | Emerging Trend 70 – 80 | Strong Trend 85 – 100

A move today over the $318.95 level will give a PSAR signal indicating that this market is trying to move higher. With a Score of +70, this market is trying to develop into an emerging trend type market. Resistance is at the $320 area on the upside and support comes in at the $310 level. Our short term daily Trade Triangle has turned green indicating short term strength, however it is in conflict with our longer-term negative monthly Trade Triangle. Long-term traders should hold short positions in this index with appropriate money management stops.
