Near-term (daily chart). Not much new on Tuesday with the market overall still following the MACD signal higher and while this continues to indicate upside in the intermediate term it looks to be coming towards a cross.

Note how the high correlations are coming down now, particularly against the dollar. 

It’s interesting that while we have penetrated the third Fibonacci Fan line it does seem to be providing some broad support, as is the 200-day Moving Average. Check out the third chart and you will see what I mean.

The Q1 high around $83 is overhead resistance but the current signs are we won’t get there in this up cycle. Watch the MACD for the signal for the end of the current intermediate cycle.

See the glossary link above for an explanation of the studies used above.
