Crude is approaching an 11 week low. The trendline break though confirms that the 45 week cycle has topped. So a bounce should materialize here in the coming days. Long a partial position at $34. Playing a bounce for a ST trade. Tricky trade as trendline breaks can be difficult. cheers, john crude_Sept.24_2009_14_day_cycles_on.png crude_14_28_56_MAs.png

John, I'm also looking for a bounce here in oil from right here. If it materializes, $69 is R1 and $71-72 is R2.

hi Aly, Your price and time targets might work there. The 11 week low is in IMO. Added some HOU.TO Friday and this morning. It won't be an inpulsive rise, but corrective. Worth a shot for a trade. The next proper buy after this 11 week cycle tops will be in Dec. most likely at the coming 44/45 week low. cheers, john

I'm out of the USO long position. The bounce is too weak for a good 11 week low and too many things can go wrong with this trade given the current state of the general market (ie. its topping). I'll wait for the better buy in Dec. this year for a 22 and 44/45 week nest of lows. The longer term lows should arrive late in 2010. The better trades will be short positions at various points in time, but I will pass. cheers, john

The 11 week cycle low came on cue within a day or two. The more reliable buy comes in Dec. at the 22/23 and 44/45 week nest of lows. Thank you Charles Nenner, er I mean john. My work is not infallible either, but it helps me plan my trades.

http://www.traders-t...howtopic=111616

Today on Bloomberg "Taking Stock" Nenner said, based on his cycles research:

1. that he was out of the market 9/29/09 and expected the market down into Oct 2009,
2. then some recovery in November 2009 to year end 2009 (trading rally, not for investment),
3.Longer run he said the market will retrace to March 2009 low (SP 600-700), or lower.
4. He is bullish on commodities; the low on gold cycle is 20 Oct to March 2010, crude is a buy Mid December for a long term rally into 2010.
5.Bonds in general are favorable for the next 6-9 months.


cheers,

john
