In this last segment of our multi-part research post regarding the US Fed and the global central banks, it is becoming evident that the fear of a further market contraction is resulting in the decrease in rates and the push for additional QE functions. Our research has shown that the global economy has partially recovered from the 2008-09 credit market collapse, but the process of the recovery has resulted in a “blowout” type of event where shifting capital intents and the transition from the 19th century economic model towards a new 21st century economic model is setting up the global markets for a massive rotation event over the next 12 to 24 months – possibly longer.
It is our belief that capital is still doing what capital always does, seeking out the best opportunities for safety and returns. Right now, that location is easily found in only certain segments of the markets; volatility, precious metals, certain energy sectors, US Treasuries and CASH. The future events, including the massive rotational event that we believe is about to unfold in the global markets, will change the way capital is deployed for many years to come.
It is very likely that this rotation event will create incredible opportunities for skilled technical traders or subscribers to our trade signal newsletter over the next 12 to 36 months and will likely prompt a further shift towards the new 21st-century economic model that we believe will be the ultimate outcome.
Taking a brief look at our recent history highlights the fact that capital becomes fearful about 12 to 16 months before a major US election event. Additionally, certain other factors related to the global economy heighten this fear as US/China trade issues, global debt issues and economic output issues continue to plague the markets. The combination of these types of events set up a “perfect storm” type of economic cycle where skilled technical traders are just waiting for the impact event to hit before the markets begin a bigger rotational event.
These types of events, similar to the 2000 and 2008-09 market crash event, are a process where price rotates out of a normal range and attempts to explore lower price levels that act as price support. It is not uncommon for these types of events to happen, although the severity of these events is difficult to determine prior to their execution.
The US Fed and global central banks set up an easy money process over the past 9+ years that allowed for capital to be deployed as a process that has setup this current massive rotational event. At first, the intent was to support collapsing markets and institutions – we understand that. But the nature of capital is to always seek out suitable safety and returns, so capital did what is always does hunt out the best opportunities for profits. First, it rallied into the crashing real estate market and emerging markets – which had been crushed by the 2008-09 credit crisis event. Next, it piled into the Asian markets and healthcare/technology markets. At this time, it also started piling into the startup/VC markets throughout the world as well as certain commodities. The recovery seemed to have created a booming and cash-flush market for anyone with two dollars to rub together.
Then came the 2015-16 market contraction and the end of the US Fed QE processes. At this time, China realized the need to control capital outflows and the US/Global markets slowed to a crawl as the US Presidential election cycle ramped-up. It was just 12 months prior to this 2015-16 event that oil crashed from $114 to $46. Within 2015-16, Oil continued to crash to levels below $30. This was the equivalent of the blowout cycle for the global economy. Headed into the 2016 US elections, the global economy was running on only 5 of 8 cylinders and was limping along hoping to find some way out of this mess.
The November 2016 US elections were just what the global economy needed and everyone’s perceptions about the future changed almost overnight. I remember watching the price of Gold on election night; +$75 early in the evening as Clinton was expected to win, then it continued to fall back to +$0 fairly late in the evening, then it fell to -$75 as the news of a Trump win was solidified. This rotation equated to a nearly 10% rotation in less than 24 hours based on FEAR. Once fear was abated, global investors and capital went to work seeking out the safest environments and best returns – like normal.
This resurgence of capital into the markets set up of a new SOP (standard operating procedure) where capital began to be deployed in more risky environments and into broader and bigger investment structures. This is the SETUP I’m trying to highlight that was created by the US Fed and central banks. I don’t believe anyone thought, at that time in early 2017, that the current set of events would have transpired and I believe global governments, central banks, and global financial institutions thought, “Party on, dude! We’re back to 2010 all over again”. Boy, were they wrong.
This time, the global central banks, governments and state-run enterprises engaged in bigger and more complex credit/debt structures while attempting to run the same game they were running back in 2010 and 2011. The difference this time is that the US Fed started raising Fed Fund Rates and destroyed the US Dollar carry trade while putting increasing pressure on the global market, global debt and global trade. The continued rally of the US Dollar after the 2018 lows helped to solidify the advantages and risks in the markets. This upside rally in the US Dollar, after the 2014 to 2016 rally, really upset the balance of the global markets and setup an increasing pressure point for foreign markets.
It soon became very evident that risks in the foreign markets could be partially mitigated by investing in the US stock market and by moving capital away from risky currencies and into US Dollar based assets. Capital is always doing what it always does – seeking out the best environment for returns and protection from risk. Thus, we have the setup right now – only 15 months before the 2020 US Presidential elections. What happens now?
This setup is likely to prompt a rotation in the global markets as well as within the US stock market. It is very likely that a continued contraction in consumer and banking activity (think business, real estate, trade, commodities, and others) will prompt a contraction in global economics very similar to what happened in 2014~2016. This process will likely put extreme risk factors at play in some of the most fragile economies and state-run enterprises on the planet. Once the flooring begins to crack in some of these markets, we’ll see how this event will play out. Right now, our eye is watching Europe and Asia for early warning signs.
The US Fed will continue to manipulate the FFR levels in an attempt to help mitigate the risks associated with this contraction event. It is likely that the US Fed already sees what we see and it attempting to position themselves into a more responsive stance given the potential outcomes. Inadvertently, the US Fed and global central banks presented an offer that was too good for anyone to ignore – easy cash. What they didn’t expect is that the 2014 to 2019 rally in the US Dollar and US stock market would transition capital deployment within the global market in such a way that it has – setting up the current event cycle.
We believe a downside pricing event is very likely over the next 10 to 25+ days where the US stock market may fall 12 to 25%, targeting levels shown on this chart (or slightly lower) as this rotational event takes place. Ultimately, the US markets will recover much quicker than many foreign/global markets. Our estimates are that the recovery in the US markets will likely begin to take place near March or April 2020 and continue higher beyond this date.
This Custom Smart Cash Index chart highlights the type of capital shift activity we’ve been describing to our readers and followers. It is easy to see that capital moved out of risky investments within the downturns on this chart and into the most opportunistic equity markets within the uptrends on this chart. Remember, most opportunistic markets are sometimes outside of the scope of this Smart Cash index. For example, this chart does not relate strength in the Precious Metals markets or other commodities/currencies. All this chart is trying to highlight for followers is how capital is being deployed in viable global equity markets and when capital is exiting or entering these markets.
Given the current setup, we would expect a breakdown in this Smart Cash Index over the next 4+ months to set up a new lower price level establishing a base/bottom before attempting to move higher. We believe the 100 level, shown as historical support, is a proper target price level for this move initially.
Lastly, we believe capital is moving aggressively into the precious metals markets and we urge all skilled technical traders to pay attention to this chart of the Gold/Silver ratio. If our analysis is correct and a larger rotation price cycle is about to unfold in the global markets, which may last well into 2020 (or beyond) for certain global markets, then you really need to pay attention to the upside potential for this Gold/Silver ratio.
As we’ve drawn on this chart, if this ratio recovers to 50% of the 2011 peak levels as this rotation unloads on the global market, this would push Gold and Silver prices to levels potentially 60% to 140%+ higher than current levels. I understand how hard it is to understand these types of incredible price increases and how they could possibly be relative to current prices, but trust us in our research. Gold and Silver prices have been measurably depressed over the past 3 to 4 years. Unleashing the real valuation levels of these precious metals at a time when risk factors are excessive suggests that Gold could easily be trading above $3200 and Silver above $60 to $65 within 6 to 12 months.
CONCLUDING THOUGHTS:
In closing, we want to urge all skilled technical traders to keep a very open perspective to the “Party on, Dude” mode of the global central banks and be aware that a very fragile floor is the only thing holding up the markets in another massive US presidential election cycle event. In our opinion, the writing is already on the wall and we are preparing for this rotational event and alerting our members on what to do to profit from these moves.
The Federal Reserve and global central banks will attempt to keep the party rolling for as long as possible because they know the downside event could be something they don’t want to have to deal with. So watch how these global central banks attempt to nudge public perception away from risks and towards the “party on” mode. Stay alert. Stay aware. When this breaks, it will break quickly and aggressively.
Using technical analysis and proven strategies we can follow the market trends and profit from them no matter which the market moves. We bet with the market (the house) and provide entry, target, and stops for all trades we initiate.
NEXT MOVES FOR GOLD, SILVER, MINERS, AND S&P 500
In early June I posted a detailed video explaining in showing the bottoming formation and gold and where to spot the breakout level, I also talked about crude oil reaching it upside target after a double bottom, and I called short term top in the SP 500 index. This was one of my premarket videos for members it gives you a good taste of what you can expect each and every morning before the Opening Bell. Watch Video Here.
Detailed report talking about where the next bull and bear markets are and how to identify them. This report focused on gold miners and the SP 500 index. My charts compared the 2008 market top and bear market along with the 2019 market prices today. See Comparison Charts Here.
We posted that silver was likely to pause for a week or two before it took another run up on June 26. This played out perfectly as well and silver is now head up to our first key price target of $17. See Silver Price Cycle and Analysis.
I warned that the next financial crisis (bear market) was scary close, possibly just a couple weeks away. The charts I posted will make you really start to worry. See Scary Bear Market Setup Charts.

This section of our multi-part article regarding current and past central bank actions, we are going to attempt to look at key elements of the past and present to highlight what we believe may turn out to be an incredible “setup” in the global markets.
This setup is almost like a complex chess game where two skilled players battle for control and near the end of the game, one player is left with the King, a Rook, and a Pawn while the other player has a dramatic advantage with stronger chess pieces. Yet, as the game continues, the weaker player is able to remove one or two of the stronger players key pieces and move his pawn to his opponent’s side to recover his Queen – thus altering the dynamic of the game and eventually winning.
This actually happened to me once playing against a friend of mine. My friend was so wrapped up in trying to move my King into checkmate, he left his other pieces open for me to target and remove – while leaving my Pawn untouched. After I had gained a clear advantage by removing his stronger pieces, I cornered his king within an area that allowed me to move my Pawn to his side of the board whereas I regained my Queen. At that point, the game was nearly over for him – and he knew it.
Did the US Fed and global central banks set up a similar type of process in the global economy? We can rephrase this question as did the global central banks inadvertently set up a massive credit/debt problem by attempting to pour capital into the global markets to spark an economic recovery? And did the acquisition of all of this debt/credit setup a “chase after the King” moment where foreign nations failed to understand the underlying risks associated with this move? Have the dynamics of the global markets shifted away from the advantages that were present three to four+ years ago?
So, let’s investigate the data to see what we can find out about what is changing in the markets.
One change that is critical to the understanding of consumer sentiment is the savings rates for consumers. Since the 2008-09 credit market crisis, Americans have started saving more of their income even though rates for savings have dramatically fallen. This is a shift in consumer sentiment that suggests consumers are attempting to put more cash into savings in preparation for some future event.
The Fed expects economic growth rates in the US to run at far lower levels than in 2011 and 2012. With all the capital that has been poured into the global markets, one would think growth rates would be moderately higher or climbing. But we believe the global economy is stuck in a mode where capital is unable to be effectively deployed throughout the globe because of inherent economic failures and processes that prevent future growth. We’ve discussed this in the previous article about how the US and global economies are stuck in a mostly 19th-century mode of operation while attempting to transition into a 21st-century mode of operation. This transition may take another 10 to 20+ year, but it will eventually happen.
Until that transition is completed, expect further bumps in the road as traditional expectations for investment and returns are shattered – forcing a move towards a 21st-century economic revival.
The price of commodities is a perfect example of how the 19th-century economy is purging itself while the new 21st-century economy is searching for a foundation/footing to take root. Oil is a prime example of the 19th-century economic foundation for growth and economic output. Yet in today’s world of solar, green and various other energy sources, Oil has fallen to near $52 ppb recently and could fall as low as $35 to $38 ppb in the future months. Considering Oil was recently above $120 bbp – what the heck happened?
This chart of the Index of All Commodities prices highlights the shift in capital and the shift in the economic mode of operation that is currently taking place. What was an increasing commodities price market in 2005~07 and 2010~12 has now been replaced with a decreasing commodity pricing market. Is this indicative of a collapse in the global economy? In some ways, yes. But we believe this is more indicative of a transitional economic shift away from 19th-century processes and functions and towards a more dynamic 21st century economic model for the globe.
This process, though, will be full of very large price swings, failures, successes, and opportunities for those skilled technical traders that are able to catch the moves and setup as they happen.
Lastly, the US Consumer Price Index chart. Notice how the GREEN highlighted area (from the early 1960s till 2000 were filled with positive CPI results? Notice how that changed in 2000 and how after 2000 the CPI levels fluctuated from positive to negative quite regularly? Now, pay attention to how the expansion of peaks immediately after the 2000 Dot Com bubble burst has been replaced with a contraction of peaks after the 2008-09 credit market crisis. What is causing the CPI to contract in this manner? Why is is that expansion of commodity pricing is unable to expand as it had been going for decades before 2008-09?
The key to understanding all of this is that the expansion prior to 2000 was an expansion fueled by rising wages, income, wealth creation and opportunity from a mature 19th-century economic model. The 1990 to 2000 narrow range in the CPI was related to the “early shift” away from the 19th-century economic mode and into the Dot Com (internet) mode of economic activity (where this new economic model was taking away from brick-and-mortar shopping malls and replacing it with virtual commerce activities. The recovery in 2005 was fueled by moderate quantitative easing in the US as well as a resurgence in more traditional economic functions related to the growth of economic opportunity in foreign nations, Europe and the push to expand digital technology throughout most of the developing world.
Then came the crisis of 2008-09, which was like blowing out 3 pistons of your V8 motor. You may still be able to limp the car around and back home, but you probably have to keep pouring high-octane fuel into it to keep it running and hope it does not blow out another piston or two.
This Custom Smart Cash Index chart is a perfect example of how capital works in the markets. It attempts to avoid risk by reducing exposure to risk events and attempts to pile into an opportunity as security and returns are setup for optimum outcomes.
Notice how in 2008 capital fled the global markets and how it slowly reentered the markets from 2011 to 2015. Pay attention to the dips in this Smart Cash Index and you’ll notice how these dips align with the US Fed and global central bank QE functions. Pay very close attention to the dip in 2015~2016. Why would cash want to avoid risks setting up during this time and what caused the global markets to fear excessive risks then? US Presidential elections – that’s what happened. And what is happening in November 2020? Yup – you guessed it.
Why would risks become so heightened at these times and throughout collapse events and where does capital rush into when these types of events happen?
CONCLUDING THOUGHTS:
In Part IV of this article, we’ll try to answer some of your bigger questions and we’ll explain why we believe an incredible opportunity is setting up for skilled technical traders over the next 24+ months.
Using technical analysis and proven strategies we can follow the market trends and profit from them no matter which the market moves. We bet with the market (the house) and provide entry, target, and stops for all trades we initiate.

As we continue to explore the events of the past 10 to 20+ years and how the global central banks continue to attempt to navigate through these difficult times, we want to take a few minutes to try to understand and explain how the capital that has exploded into the global markets has been deployed and used to chase returns, risk and opportunity and may continue to be deployed more efficiently going forward.
Read Part I of this series here: https://www.thetechnicaltraders.com/global-central-banks-move-to-keep-the-party-rolling-onward/
The recent news that the global central banks may begin a new round of stimulus and easing got us thinking – “what next?”. Over the past 10 to 20+ years, global central banks have attempted to prompt an economic recovery that seems to slip past economic planners and we believe that is because core functions of the global economy are weaker than many expect. We’re going to try to explore some of these factors and prepare traders for what may come in the future months.
Much of the capital that was dumped into the markets was deployed into the global equity markets as investments in emerging markets, capital markets, and the US stock market. As much as everyone wants to think this capital went into infrastructure and other essential investments, much of it went into the only thing that was capable of generating an easy return with limited risk – the global stock market.
At first, after 2008, we saw an immediate jump in emerging markets. This sector of the global economy had been hard hit by the collapse in 2008-09 and an incredible opportunity existed because of a price anomaly that was created near the bottom in 2009. Emerging markets were recipients of some capital when the central banks began to infuse money into the system, but their equity markets were uniquely positioned for advancements because of the pricing levels after the crash.
The SPEM chart below highlights the recovery in the emerging market that took place almost immediately after the bottom formed in 2009. We can clearly see the immediate price advance and the resulting sideways price action after 2011. Once this sector recovered up to previous 2007 levels, there was really nothing else to push it much higher.
Traders should also take notice of the rally in 2016 and 2017. This rally was based on forward expectations that renewed interest in emerging markets would result in increased returns. These aligned with expectations resulting from the US Presidential election (2016) as well. This price advance consisted of a +86% price advance from $23 to $42. Could it happen again?
We believe the next phase of the global market recovery will result in a similar type of price advance after new lows are established in emerging markets. Skilled technical traders should continue to plan for and prepare for this type of setup once emerging markets complete a process of exploring lower lows to form a bottom. This process should complete just before the 2020 US presidential elections and will likely result in another price anomaly setup where the price is well below expected asset levels (extreme pessimism) and will set up as an incredible +40% to +80% upside potential as renewed optimism and the continued transitional process of the global economy persists. Traders just need to wait for the setup – then execute their trades.
The continued process of how capital rolls from one environment to another in search of returns is something we have attempted to explain in detail over the past months. We call it the “capital shift” process. Our belief is that capital (cash) is always hunting for suitable investments in various forms and continues to shift from one environment (market segment) to another as opportunities (ROI) and risks (healthy investment environments) change. So, think of capital as a migratory asset that continues to shift into and out of various segments of the market as opportunities and risks present themselves.
One of the biggest benefactors of the quantitative easing and central bank policies of the past 10+ years has been the US equity market. Take a look at this NAS100 chart to see what we mean.
When we take into consideration the post 9/11 market rally in this NAS100 chart (highlighted by the blue rectangle) we can see that, at that time, the capital was focused away from the US markets because other foreign markets were better positioned in terms of ROI and risk. Even though the US was engaging in moderate QE processes to recover from a moderate economic crisis, a price advance in the NAS100 was muted – nothing like the right side of this chart.
The post-2009 advance in the NAS100 is a completely different story. The technology sector in the US had shifted away from a heavy risk factor and into a “unicorn” mode by 2012/2013. This shift in the investment environment meant that global traders saw the US technology market (NAS100) and an excellent opportunity for capital deployment. As more and more cash poured into the NAS100 chasing these gains, prices continued to skyrocket higher. What next?
Unless the dynamics of this market shift away from expected gains or the US Dollar weakens dramatically, we believe the US stock market will continue to experience some volatility and continued price advancement while capital waits to see what happens throughout the rest of the global market.
We do believe the increased volatility of the past 2 years highlights an extended risk for rotation over the next 2+ years and we believe a move lower may be something we have to prepare for as the 6000 level has already been established as support. Therefore, we are not suggesting the NAS100 will go straight up from here. We are suggesting that unless something dramatic happens to change the economic environment, the US markets will continue to be viewed as opportunistic by global investors and that dips in price, even big ones, will likely respond with a nearly immediate recovery in price – even if a dip were to happen well below the 6000 level.
Once the economic environment shifts away from opportunity in the US, then all bets are off in terms of downside risk – if this ever happens.
Another factor that everyone must be aware of is Real Estate. Recently, US real estate has continued to rally as rates have continued to maintain some level of affordability throughout most of the US. Certain areas have gotten very un-affordable and these markets are already experiencing a pricing reversion where prices are declining as sellers attempt to attract buyers at high prices. Overall, though, the health of the US real estate market is still moderately strong.
One thing that we would be concerned about is a perceptional shift away from buying if the US Fed and global central banks engage in new stimulus processes. Consumers may view this process as a warning that some concern is underlying the efforts of the central banks and hold off on buying real estate while they wait to see what happens after the US 2020 elections. We believe this may already be happening right now.
CONCLUDING THOUGHTS:
The REZ real estate ETF continues to push higher as pricing becomes an issue and sales levels continue to support a fairly active market. We are concerned that a sharp change in perception could be taking place over the next 12+ months as fears of a change in US political leadership may thwart or diminish some forward expectations. Investors need to pay attention to all aspects of the markets in order to prepare for future opportunities and price moves.
In Part III of this article, we’ll look into some of the fundamental elements of the US and global economies and how the past actions of the US Fed and global central banks may have set up the global markets for the bigger price rotations we are expecting over the next 12 to 24+ months.
Also, takes a look at today’s charts compared to the 2008 market top and I can’t warn enough that the next financial crisis (bear market) is scary close, possibly just a couple weeks away. See Scary Bear Market Setup Charts.

With less than 24 hours to go before the US Fed rate decision announcement, all eyes are watching how the US stock market is reacting to the possibility of a rate cut (25 basis point) that has been telegraphed by the US fed many weeks in advance. Almost as if the US stock market is moving against all odds, the S&P and NASDAQ have pushed higher into new all-time high territory while the Dow Jones index currently trades just below recent highs. What should traders expect with the Fed announcement and beyond?
Probability of Rate Cut Percent
First, we need to understand the global markets have already priced a 25 basis point rate decrease into the markets based on expectations. The CME Fed expectations data suggests the market is 78.1% confident that a 25 basis point rate decrease will happen.
Source (CME)
This suggests that global traders are already prepared for this move and we may not see much volatility if the US Fed does not surprise anyone with their language/future expectations.
We believe the US Fed is taking this rate decrease to ease the supply of US Dollars throughout the world. Over the past 18+ months, the strength of the US Dollar has prompted a shift away from weaker global economies and into the US equities market, US Treasuries and the US Dollar. We believe this shift is reaching a critical moment in time where the fragility of the foreign markets has reached a tipping point.
Weekly US Dollar chart
You can see from this Weekly US Dollar chart that the rally from the bottom in early 2018 has been tremendous – +11.25% and climbing. While this US Dollar rally has taken place, many foreign currencies have continued to weaken while the global economy has recently slowed to a crawl. As long as the US Dollar stays within the magenta price channel moving forward, we expect this trend to continue.
The shift in how capital is being deployed and the stress that continues throughout the globe with regards to economic activity and output is related to something that we believe took place back in 2007 through 2016 – the global effort to support a very weak global economy.
We highlighted some of our thoughts in this recent research post about the black hold in global banking.
Overall, we believe the actions by the global central banks and the US Fed from 2007 till 2016 created a “setup” in the global markets that very few people foresaw or understood. This shift happened at a pace and fever that few people could comprehend and came to a head in November 2016 when President Trump was elected. We believe it happened somewhat like this…
2004~2006: Greenspan raises rates on an unprecedented scale (over 450%) pushing the US/global banking/credit sector into crisis in 2007-08
2008~2010: As the biggest global banking/credit crisis unfolds, the US Fed and global central banks do everything possible to save the world from decades of economic malaise and destruction. US Fed lowers interest rates to near ZERO creating a run on US dollar debt/credit.
The Current Market Setup
2011~2015: As foreign market engages in debt/credit expansion, infrastructure projects and an “easy money” rally mode, something begins to change in 2014~2015. China realizes the nation’s wealth is being exported to the US and other markets as well as a US stock market rotation that shocked the global investors.
2016~2017: The US Elections (2016) took the focus away from the global markets for a period of 15+ months and allowed the easy US Dollar trading activities to continue into hyperspace. This is when many foreign nations/companies took huge risks leveraging debt and success into future debt/risks based on a belief that “this success will never end”.
Then This Happened…
January 2017: President Trump is sworn in and the US Fed begins raising rates aggressively. The disruption that resulted from this 2017 combination event resulting in one of the largest “global unwinding” processes we’ve seen in quite a while and it has really only just begun.
The downward rotation in the US Dollar in early 2017 as a result of uncertainty in US policy and perceived strength in foreign markets as US interest rates were still relatively low – under 1.4% most of that time. After US FFR rates crossed above the 1.75% level, the easy US Dollar carry trade became much more difficult to maintain and foreign investors had already setup trillions in debts expecting the US Fed to maintain easy money policies for decades.

What is the US Fed expected to do at this time? Either they lower the FFR so that the global markets can continue to run their credit/debt functions and attempt to deleverage the “setup” over the next 5+ years or the US Fed risks creating a run-away train type of scenario where foreign central banks lack the ammo to support their own economies and the US Fed risks creating hyper-inflation by not acting accordingly. In short, the US Fed to the global bankers rescues again.
Well, here we go with the US Fed setting the policy and expectations for the future as this incredible 1800% FFR rate increase has pushed the global markets into potential turmoil. We’ll complete our research in the second half of this research post in a few hours stay tuned!
CRUCIAL WARNING SIGNS ABOUT GOLD, SILVER, MINERS, And S&P 500
In early June I posted a detailed video explaining in showing the bottoming formation and gold and where to spot the breakout level, I also talked about crude oil reaching it upside target after a double bottom, and I called short term top in the SP 500 index. This was one of my premarket videos for members it gives you a good taste of what you can expect each and every morning before the Opening Bell. Watch Video Here.
I then posted a detailed report talking about where the next bull and bear markets are and how to identify them. This report focused mainly on the SP 500 index and the gold miners index. My charts compared the 2008 market top and bear market along with the 2019 market prices today. See Comparison Charts Here.
On June 26th I posted that silver was likely to pause for a week or two before it took another run up on June 26. This played out perfectly as well and silver is now head up to our first key price target of $17. See Silver Price Cycle and Analysis.
More recently on July 16th, I warned that the next financial crisis (bear market) was scary close, possibly just a couple weeks away. The charts I posted will make you really start to worry. See Scary Bear Market Setup Charts.
CONCLUDING THOUGHTS:
In short, you should be starting to get a feel of where each commodity and asset class is headed for the next 8+ months. The next step is knowing when and what to buy and sell as these turning points take place, and this is the hard part.

In the first part of this multi-part technology sector research post, we highlighted our previous research and predictive modeling result that suggest the US and global stock markets are poised for a peak/roll-over within the next 30+ days. Our predictive modeling systems and cycle analysis tools are pointing to August 19, 2019, critical inflection date that we believe will become the “breakdown date” for this next big move to the downside.
Part of our effort to help skilled technical traders is to provide research posts, like these, that highlight trade setups and allow our followers to understand the type of trading opportunities that are present for them to consider in the future. We believe the next 30+ days will prove our predictions are accurate and that the US/Global stock markets will roll-over into a new bearish trend – likely breaking downward near August 19, 2019.
With this in mind, Part II will continue to explore trade setups and opportunities related to our belief that the NQ/Technology Sector will become one of the biggest rotations when this move happens.
NQ/TECS price prediction
Our downside NQ price prediction supports a hedging trade in TECS for skilled technical traders. If our predictions are accurate, then the risk levels for a strategic trade in TECS are only about 10% to 15% from current price levels and the upside profit potential is 12% to 35% (or more). We are actively seeking an entry price near recent lows in TECS (near $11 or lower) over the next 2+ weeks as we watch the US stock market continue to attempt to push to new highs.
TNA, Small Cap Bull ETF
The TNA, Small Cap Bull ETF, is often a leader for the US major markets. This Weekly chart highlights the weakness that is found in the Small Caps compared to the NQ chart above. While the NQ chart has continued to push higher, the TNA chart has rolled-over and has weakened substantially from the October to December 2018 rotation. It is our belief that the continued price weakness in the Small Caps will provide a leading price confirmation of the US major markets price rotation downward over the next few weeks and months.
We also believe the Transportation Index (TRAN) will lead the markets lower over the next few weeks and months. Skilled traders must learn to search for these market-leading triggers/signals to stay ahead of the next big price swings.
So, within this article, we’ve highlighted three incredible trading opportunities and setups for skilled technical traders. Each one is aligned to a single event that may happen in the future and each one varies in the price level, scale, and scope for different skill levels of traders. The opportunities for these types of trades in 2019 and 2020 keep setting up over and over again. We believe the next 2 to 3 years are going to continue to create incredible opportunities for us as technical traders. You can become a technical trader with us before Aug 1st if you ack now!
There are dozens of great trades setting up right now in preparation for the August 19 price peak/price rotation that we predicted months ago. The markets are setting up for some really big swing trades and we urge all traders/investors to be prepared for these moves by joining my Wealth Building Newsletter

Before we discuss these incredible trade setups in the Energy sector, we have to discuss the continued shifting global economy and how that relates to these setups. Nearly three weeks ago, we posted a research article suggesting Crude Oil would call to levels near $50 over the next 30+ days, then stall for about 45 days before falling further and potentially attempting new lows near $40 ppb. It is important to understand certain aspects of the global economy, economic demand and how it relates to seasonal patterns for Energy.
We believe the move lower is Crude Oil is related to a supply glut that continues to plague the global markets while global economic trade, shipping, and activity continue to weaken. Too much oil supply with weakening global economic activity means Crude Oil will likely waffle lower until this dynamic changes.
Please read our recent research post to know where Crude Oil is likely to head next. Also this crude oil, prediction uses our oil price DNA algorithm to show us the future price range of oil.
Other energy-related symbols, like Natural Gas and ERY, are set up for a different type of price move.
The reality of the situation is that once Crude Oil reaches to levels near $50 ppb, it is very likely that a support level will push Crude back higher (as we suggest in our research) which will align with a seasonal pattern for Natural Gas and early Winter demand for heating oil. September, October, and November are typically a ramp-up period for winter demand and end of year holiday travel. People tend to take advantage of the last bit of Summer to seek out vacation spots, prepare for winter and push the cold back as long as possible.
Future contracts may move higher, in preparation of this seasonal trend, many months before the season actually starts. This is the reason we believe the energy sector is setting up some incredible opportunities for skilled technical traders.
The weekly chart of Natural Gas
This first Weekly chart of Natural Gas highlights a basing pattern that we’ve been following for months. We believe any move below $2.30 is a strong bottoming/basing setup for skilled traders and our predictive modeling systems suggest we are just weeks (3 to 5+) away from a big upside move in NG.
We believe natural gas will continue to fall and base. Once a bottom has been made the upside potential for NG over the next 60+ days is quite substantial. We believe an in initial upside move after it bottoms will be to levels above $3.15 will take place before October 10 and that potential for an extreme breakout upside move above $4.00 is quite likely before the end of November 2019.
Please read this article to learn more about our research into NG and the opportunities that are setting up now. Also, this post we shared Natural Gas Moves Into Basing Zone.
ERY – Bear Energy Sector Chart
Keeping in mind that the setup within the energy sector is two-fold. First, Oil and NG will continue to fall and base/bottom (moving slightly lower over the next few weeks). This is why ERY is such a great setup right now. Any breakdown in energy commodity prices over the next 3~5 weeks will push ERY 15% to 25% higher from current levels – which is exactly what we are expecting to happen.
Then, as Crude Oil and Natural Gas base in their support zones, ERY will peak which is when we want to pull profits from ERY and watch other bullish energy ETFs for long side setups.
From current levels, we believe ERY will target $50 to $52.50 fairly quickly as Crude Oil and NG continue to move lower and setup a momentum base within the basing zone/support range. Remember Crude Oil should move to levels near $50 (a full 10% lower than current price levels) before basing.
Concluding Thoughts:
As we’ve been suggesting for months, 2019 and 2020 are setting up to be incredible years for skilled technical traders. These moves in commodities, energy, and metals are providing us with trade after trade of 10%, 20% or more. Almost every month, the markets are setting up 10 to 15+ incredible trading opportunities and all we have to do is time our entries and run these trades as we do any other trade. Not all trade setups are the kind we like and we only enter the ones that we think have the highest opportunity and lowest risk.

It is time to explore the details of our Gold vs. Silver ratio research and to start to understand the potential for profits within this move in precious metals. The first part of our research article highlighted the Gold vs. Silver ratio and why we believe the “reversion process” that is taking place in price could be an incredible opportunity for traders.
Historically, when the Gold vs. Silver ratio reaches an extreme level, and precious metals begin to rally, a reversion within the ratio takes place, which represents a revaluation process for silver prices compared to gold prices. This typically means that the prices of Silver will accelerate to the upside as the price of gold moves higher – resulting in a decrease in the ratio level.
This reversion process related to precious metals pricing is an opportunity for traders to take advantage of an increased pricing advantage to generate profits.
For every drop of 5.0 points in the gold/silver ratio, the price of Silver should increase by 6.5% to 7.5% to the price of Gold.
This research is based on our belief that Gold and Silver will continue to rally and potentially enter a parabolic upside price advance soon. If this takes place and precious metals begin to skyrocket higher, the ratio level will react in a hyperactive “reversion process” where Silver may move higher at a rate that is substantially faster than Gold. This is the process that we are exploring and our researchers are attempting to shed some insight into this event.
I believe a reversion process has already begun to take place within the precious metals market. We believe this reversion process is about to explode as a dramatic revaluation event unfolds over the next 12+ months. This process will become more evident to traders as the price of Gold continues to rally towards the $1750+ level and as the price of Silver explodes higher in larger and larger advances.
Gold/Silver/US Dollar ratio chart
This Gold/Silver/US Dollar ratio chart is the basis of our analysis for the reversion process event and the associated revaluation event. Our previous analysis suggests Gold will attempt a move to levels above $1650 to $1700 on the next breakout move higher. This next upside price move will expose the price reversion event for all traders to witness and we have mapped out the expected Silver price advantage for all traders going forward.
Gold/Silver Ratio – Silver Price vs Ratio Level
We put together this reference table to assist all traders in understanding just how important this move could be to them. This reference table shows the current Gold/Silver price levels (in GREY) as the ratio levels change from 88 to lower levels.
If the price of Gold were to stay at the same $1426 level while Silver rallied to prompt an 82 or 77 ratio level, the price of silver would move from the current price of $16.19 to $17.39 or $18.52 in order to reflect this decreased ratio level. That represents a 7.5% to 14.3% price increase.
Yet if the price of Gold advances to $1650 or $1750 while the ratio level drops to the 82 or 77 ratio level (because Silver advances fast than Gold), then the price of Silver would move from the current price of $16.19 to $20.12 to $22.73. That move represents a 24.2% to 40.3% price increase in Silver when Gold increased only 15.7% to 22.7%.
What If Silver Advances Quicker Than Gold?
If Silver advances even faster than our “what if” scenario, above, and Gold continues to advance as we expect, the increased price reversion process taking place in Silver as a process of this revaluation event could result in a 70% to 110% fast price advance in Silver than the price advance that takes place in Gold.
We believe the next upside price leg in Silver will target $19.50 to $22.75. This target range supports the highlighted area on our Ratio table (below). In other words, we believe the ratio level will attempt to quickly move toward the 70 to 77 level as Gold prices rally over the next few months. This would push silver up into the $22.50 to $25 price level very quickly.
What If Gold Rallies Faster Than Silver?
If Gold were to rally above $1950 on an extended upside price advance before August or September, we believe the reversion process would become extremely hyperactive in nature and the price of Silver could push well above $29~34 per ounce – may be even higher.
This declining ratio level acts as a turbo-boost for the price of Silver as Gold continues to advance. The recent rotation to the downside suggests the ratio relationship between Gold and Silver has already stated a reversion process – the only question is “where will it end?”. Our researchers believe it will stop where it stops and we believe the 65 level on the Ratio chart is just the initial target for this first upside leg.
Imagine where Silver could go if the ratio level fell to levels below 40 and gold rallied to $2500 or more? Ok, stop imagining and take a look at this second extended ratio table.
Pay attention to the fact that Silver could rally more than 300% if Gold moves up above $1750 and the Gold/Silver ratio drops below the 55 level. If Gold were to continue to rally and the Gold/Silver ratio continued to fall, Silver could rally well above $50 over the long run.
Silver Price Range As Gold/Silver Ratio Move To the Average
We’ve attempted to graph the ranges of the expected move in Silver into segments based on the Gold/Silver ratio to assist traders in understanding just how powerful this setup really is. Imagine what it would take for Gold to move up to levels above $1750 (which is our expected target for the next leg higher) and for Silver to rally into the 55 to 65 ratio level. If that happens, the expected target price for Silver would be somewhere between $30 and $40 – more than 100% higher than the current price of Silver.
If you think $50 is unimaginable or unrealistic, we’ve just shown you why it is possible these levels could be reached before the end of 2019 or in 2020. If you have not grasped the reality of what is likely to unfold over the next 6 to 12+ months in the global markets and that precious metals are the setup of the decade, then pay attention to the fact that gold and silver are poised for moves ranging from 40% to 240% over the next 12+ months depending on the scale and scope of this move.
Our current objectives for the ratio levels are still 55 to 65 within this next move higher where Gold will target $1750. Beyond that level, we’ll have to update you as the price continues to explore new highs.
CONCLUDING THOUGHTS:
In short, don’t miss the trade of the decade. These opportunities for skilled technical traders over the next 16+ months is incredible. Huge price swings, incredible trends, big rotations and we could see nearly 300%+ profits to be had if you know what to trade and when. These types of opportunities are perfect for skilled technical traders like us and we want to help you prepare for and trade these opportunities.
