Weekly “Key Reversals” for Gold and Crude Oil and the Euro

A weekly key reversal occurs when a market sets a new high for the move and then ends the week below the prior week’s low. Gold traded to an all time high at $1577.4 last Monday and ended the week just below last week’s low at $1492.00. Crude oil tested a multi-year high at $114.83 last Monday and ended the week well below last week’s low at $110.71. The euro traded to a new high for the move at 1.4941 on Wednesday and ended the week below last week’s low at 1.4496. The only equity average I track that had a weekly key reversal is the Russell 2000.

Definition of MOJO – This is my term for technical momentum. I use what’s called “12x3x3 slow stochastic readings” from daily, weekly and monthly charts. The scale is zero to 10.0 where above 8.0 is overbought and below 2.0 is oversold.
