Precious Metals Market Timing

"Time is more important than price; when time is up price will reverse" -W.D. Gann

In the HUI charts above you can see that wave B topped approximately 15 points below the high of the complete bull move. This presents us with the probability that Wave C will bottom approximately 15 points below Wave A. If so that would make the bottom around 150 which would touch the very long term uptrend line. However a breaking of the long term trend line would likely flush out any remaining doubters and is a good probability. You can see the long term trend line on the monthly chart.

Once again "Patience" is required to allow this correction to fully express itself. There will be a bottom to this correction and we will have a pretty good idea when it arrives. It will still have to be proven that this coming bottom is the bottom we have been waiting for. Bottom picking has not been a profitable activity, so we wait and watch and don't guess that a bottom is here. The over enthusiastic gold bugs can mislead folks all the way to the bottom. There are ways to determine to a very high probability that the true bottom has arrived. I have said this before, "The bottom is proven to have been obvious on the way UP not on the way down."

"It is probably fairly obvious that corrective waves can be extremely confusing and can confound even the most experienced analyst. As a result, the analyst is advised not to use Elliott in isolation."

We do not use Elliott waves in isolation. We use them in conjunction with Gann cyclic studies and Delta turning points. Together they are three of the most powerful technical market tools available.

GOLD WEEKLY JAN 1975 HIGH TO AUG 1976 bottom **see notes below

GOLD WEEKLY DEC 2004 HIGH TO LOW IN (SEE RANGE BOTTOM OF CHART)

GOLD MONTHLY 1980

**Gold topped in Jan 1975and a serious correction followed. 30 years later, within day's, gold topped in 2004 and we have been experiencing a correction ever since. We don't know how serious this correction will be but according to long term Delta turning points it will take many months and possibly not bottom until summer of 2006. So far this is a Gann cyclic study worth the time spent studying. I have said this before also, "Believing it works is the hard part."

*The U.S.Dollar has shown us the direction it was going to take over seven months ago. It has formed and completed a perfect reverse head and shoulders pattern. You can see this on the weekly chart.

(*)The monthly chart shows us a bear market that has completed a 5 wave move. This is a near perfect 5 wave Elliott pattern.

U.S.DOLLAR WEEKLY *

U.S.DOLLAR MONTHLY (*)

The Euro, the Dollars counterpart, completes the picture. The Euro also completed a near perfect Elliott Wave bull move. You can see the five wave pattern clearly on the monthly chart below.

EURO MONTHLY

To summarize, using Delta turning points, Gann cyclic studies and Elliott monthly wave counts we have kept ourselves on the correct side of the Precious metals complex, so far.

I will be doing my best to announce "ALL ABOARD" when the time seems appropriate according to these three tools and the 50 years of observations I have spent time gathering. I might add a good portion of those 50 years were spent learning from mistakes. I suspect there are more mistakes lurking out there and because of this I keep looking over my shoulder. Hopefully this approach will keep us all out of financial "harms way!"
