Precious metals are looking soupy. Both gold and silver lodged Turtle
Soup Plus One Buy signals. Gold already recovered more than $2 after
gapping to a contract low in Tuesday’s session. Look for December silver

to play catch up with gold and engage in a swing reversal.

Pork bellies also left a Turtle Soup Plus One buy set up at a contract
low and looks like it could present a bottom fishing opportunity.

Feeder cattle rallied out of a cup-with-handle pattern on a wide range
bar. This action also put it on the Momentum-5
List
. Look for entry on this contract but not until it breaks Wednesday’s
high for confirmation of a follow-through move.

Live cattle also closed essentially at a three-month high and on the
top of its daily range in an expansion of range and out of a cup-and-handle. The
rally in feeders and lives points to even greater upside potential for cattle
contracts.

Currencies no longer have the definitive threat of European central
bank intervention underpinning a move to fresh contract lows. While this
contract may pull back for a few more days before testing lows, look for a break
of the low of a high bar pullback. Currently, the .85150 area and the .84780
lows are providing some support as well as pivot points.

reading, and potential for even greater downside (due to its Multiple

in soybeans (also an Implosion-5 member), bode negatively for the bean complex.

to decline.

Look for T-bonds to continue resistance in the 100 21/32 area on
more safe haven buying in the event of any negative or neutral news. It is from
that area that the December contract

is more likely to reverse (the
contract is currently showing a Turtle
Soup Plus One Sell
). Expensive oil, poor corporate earnings, Middle East
violence, and stock option expiration are all making the perceived stability of
bonds attractive.

is in a (Cooper) 1-2-3-4 Pullback

setup with Tuesday lodging an inside day to present a very low
risk setup in this contract. A traditional way of entering such a setup is to
try getting short on a move below Tuesday’s low with a stop placed at the high.
Look for a continuation of the down move.

remains a Momentum
market. Tuesday, the contract also logged an inside day, but on the high, the
typical resting place for a market after a strong upward impulse move. Consider
using Off The Blocks or the 1090 Open Method for entry.
