There were no "hits" of the daily target numbers.
The HUI opened with a gap higher and built up power through out the session. When the FOMC minutes were issued it was all BUY BUY BUY, driving the HUI up to a HIGH of 184.19. After a half an hour of great rejoicing the Bears came in and everything was SELL SELL SELL, and the Bears crashed the HUI down to the LOW of 178.57. The CLOSE came in just above the LOW at 178.65.
The HUI posted an outside bar to the downside. Outside bars must be respected and can lead to further downside. For tomorrow look for the Bears to take out today's LOW and drive the the HUI well below that 174.54 mark. For the Bulls, the goal for tomorrow is the same as today, maintain contact with 182.30 in some way and close above 174.54.
I remain long in the HUI. I still anticipate a meaningful high in the HUI between now and March 1st.
GLD, on Friday I mentioned that "GLD below 126.00 then expect very nasty turbulence but GLD above 128.70 then the "goldbugs" are dancing in the streets." Yesterday I posted "(d)espite the carnage GLD remains above 126.00, the low came in at 126.04, so nothing is decided, yet, but the chart is looking ugly." That chart just got uglier, below 125.00 there can be a washout.
SLV, there is a gap at 15.40 that still could be filled before any other upward movement.
