GLD shows a potential bull signal on a 2.4% gap up. It won't become real unless it lasts to the close today, since I'm trading off of a daily chart.
I've added a new indicator, JNK, an etf tracking corporate bonds that are less than investment grade. JNK shows a potential bull signal this morning.
Potential bull signal on the EUR/USD currency pair (but no companion signal on the USD/JPY).
Potential bull signal on LVS (which is a bullish position -- yay!).
Indicators:
