The 10-Year US Treasury yield remains above its 200-day simple moving average at 3.080. Gold is holding above its 50-day simple moving average at $1472.5 and tested my quarterly pivot at $1523.7 overnight. Crude oil shows risk down to its 200-day simple moving average at $90.08 given closes below my annual pivots at $99.91 and $101.92. The euro broke below its 50-day simple moving average at 1.4340 on May 11^th then failed there on a rebound last Friday. All major averages are below their 50-day simple moving averages except the Dow Transports with its 50-day at 5311. The Dow closed Monday just below its 50-day at 12,389.

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.
