12:28 pm PST. It looks like we are getting a gravestone on the 20-year bonds ETF, TLT, plus I saw an 800,000 share block trade at 119.62, which we will likely close below. I am bearish on bonds.
We also are getting a gravestone doji on gold, silver, and a lot of the mining stocks. Newmont mining backtested the support trendline, but broke down under it. If it closes below that is bearish. I also saw market makers selling the precious metals. In addition to the 2,000,000 GDX sell trade this morning, I saw 1,250,530 shares of DGL traded at 37.17. If we close below, that is added evidence of a bearish disposition. I am bearish precious metals stocks.
The Dow continued to sell off today, still shy of the 20,000 milestone. But with the doji on the TLT, I think capital is going to start moving out of bonds and back into stocks in the new year. I am bullish on the Dow and the banking sector.
