Moving higher as the Dow gained 306 points on heavy volume. The advance/declines were positive. The summation index is moving up. The NASDAQ led the way higher today and that's a plus. The S&P 500 posted a decent gain and some of the indicators there continue to move higher. Not overbought or oversold there. It still feels like the market remains at the mercy of the next headline. Gold was up $83 on the futures. The US dollar was lower and interest rates finished flat. The XAU gained 15 1/2, while GDX added over 3 3/4. Volume is still above average to the upside. GDX remains short term overbought and staying there. I did place an overnight order for the GDX February puts but it did not get filled. I'm leaving it out there overnight but might change my mind. Perhaps move to a different strike price or cancel the order altogether. Gold looks like it wants to travel to the $5000 level and it is almost there. Gold and silver are extremly overbought on all timeframes along with parabolic moves higher on the weekly and monthly charts. It is a fools game to try and pick the top for these two which is why I might just cancel my order for the GDX puts. We'll see. I also may just wait to try this idea at some point next week ahead of the Fed announcement. Mentally I'm feeling OK. The VIX was lower today with its short term indicators heading down with room to go. Tuesdays decline in stocks seems to be in the rear view mirror. Not sure how this week will close out. It's earnings season but that seems to be in the background for now. ASia and Europe were higher overnight. I'll keep an eye on this evenings headlines.
