CRB Index Commodities Index: TRJEFFCRB The CRB index - Back-up Confirmation for Gold and Oil Trades. It's useful to know which way the greater wind blows before setting sail. This wind is with the bulls and has been off and on since June. It's making a nice trend of its own, grinding away each bear in its path until 195.62 is reached - up about 2.5% from here. Do not consider shorting gold, oil, silver or copper aggressively until 195.62 is reached on this index, except near term scalping raids which will carry wiith them all the risks associated with trading against a trend. Even the deftest of scalpers will need their A game to make much from shorting, and will likely have to move fast to bag any profits. Any bears with a medium term view are going to get crushed. Can therefore only turn aggressively bearish of Oil once the lower parallel channelling this impulse wave is broken on downside. Then you know the greater wind is turning and it's finally time to change tack and start selling rallies again. This index has a look of latent strength behind it - 195.62 will not hold it back for long. Once passed it will rally another 5 points or a firther 2.5% to 203.6. Then look for the wind to change and at least a 2.5% fall back to 195.6 again. Get this medium to longer term idea of push and pull and you can make some very good returns. Good trading to the 3 wise men who bother to read such arcane research. You will do well. Never so sure about the rest though...
