Where are we right now in the PM sector? To be honest, don't use the XAU. Prefer the HUI because it's a pure PM data set. We stabilized and launched some minor rallies from my 1st fib measurement at HUI 62-3. Am looking for the next pivot point to occur at about 57. And my very ST read is we're headed there forthwith. Maybe even this week. On the bullion chart: futures.tradingcharts.com Some chart mavens are a little more ST optimistic than I am. True, we're in an area of some support here in the mid 260s. But I don't think it will hold. Problems for me are: 1. Not seeing enough bearishness in sentiment yet OR 2. Not close to the the turn around I'm looking for in the COTs. When those, admitedly subjective tools<g>, and other more proprietary work provides the evidence, I'll have more confidence we've put in enough of a bottom to support the next Intermediate (1 month or greater) rally in the PM stocks. So, looks like an immediate test of gold $260/oz to me. If that dovetails with 57 on the HUI, 50% retracement of the previous rally, then, the moment of truth will be the character of the rally that follows. Like to see better momentum and internals than we got on bounces off the 62-3 pivot point. But even worse case, were we to wash out and test the cycle lows in the $250s in gold AND the .618 fib retracement at HUI 51? It wouldn't impact my view of the very bullish LT fundamentals for the PM sector. Per previous posts here recently, am currently very light in my PM positions. But, will be a very aggressive buyer were a washout fueled by a big run of the sell stops to occur, in the PM arena. And one more, very contrarian thought that I don't see the gurus, talking heads or analysts even entertaining. The fact that IMO, such a selloff would be the most bullish event possible for the LT!<G> Consider this... The only way the really big money can position themselves in the size they need, considering the small capitalization of this entire sector, is to panic a lot of current longs out of their positions BEFORE the a new Bull Market in gold really gets rolling. As Morpheus said to Neo in the Matrix, "Time is always against us". And that's true for ole Isopatch, EVEN in the summer. So, packin' it in for the night. Cheers, Isopatch
