Bullish uptrend from 2001 is still intact, but significant deteroriation from the high in December. Traders would have sold out around $428, the recent sell signal. Investors might hold while something still trades above the bullish trend line, which is around $412. Investors would sell on a decisive break of the trend line. P&F price objective gives $392 as target, though those are to be taken with more than a grain of salt.tinyurl.com $HUI broke down before $gold peaked. It's closer to breaking its bullish trend line, having given two sell signals within the last 6 weeks. Price objective is a much lower 164 (from 202 now), roughly a 20% drop.tinyurl.com is relative strength of $HUI against $gold. This shows the weakness in the miners even a little earlier, beginning in November, with a sell signal for traders in early December. It's at the bullish trend line and in downward direction. Not yet clear whether it will clearly break the trend line (at 48), though. This will be the test. If the "weak miners" thesis is correct, the trend line will be decisively broken. The P&F intermediate target (using a horizontal count) I calculate is at 44, which also happens to be where support kicked in during May and July 2004 (ie, relative strength began to reverse in favour of the miners).tinyurl.com is XGD.to, the iUnits basket of about a dozen Canadian gold stocks. Definite sell signal, bullish trend line decisively broken, and under a bearish trend line. Downside target is $42.tinyurl.com is XGD against $gold, which also captures the currency interplay of CDN vs USD. Note general bearish trend lines in place, though consolidation pattern during 2004 while CDN rose against USD, and strong support found at current level of the chart. jacko2
