April 1, 2011 – The Stories from the Monthly Charts as April Begins
Today I show the monthly charts for the US capital markets to show how Federal Reserve
policy began speculation in gold and crude oil and US stocks, while yields began a longer term
trend higher. We have the first step towards a Dow Theory Buy Signal, but fundamentally
stocks are trading under a ValuEngine Valuation Watch.
Tracking Dow Theory - The Dow Transports ended March with a daily close above its February 17th
closing high at 5298.10. This is just a fractionally higher close at 5299.89, so the Dow Industrial
Average needs to follow with a close above its February 18th closing high at 12,391.25 today to
confirm a Dow Theory Buy Signal. The other major averages that remain below their February highs
are; S&P 500 by 1.4%, NASDAQ by 2.1%, NASDAQ 100 by 2.7% and the SOX by 7.8%. The Russell
2000 is 0.7% above its February high.

The Trading Range Scenario – The Dow Industrial Average remains in a trading range between its
March 16th low at 11,555.48 and its February 18th high at 12,391.29. Strength can stretch to my new
monthly risky level at 12,481, which would still be a high below 12,600. The downside risk remains my
annual value level at 11,491.
Stocks Remain Overvalued Fundamentally – We are operating under a ValuEngine Valuation
Watch with more than 60% of all stocks overvalued. At Thursday’s close 62.1% of all stocks were
overvalued. In addition all 16 sectors are overvalued with 11 by double-digit percentages. A
ValuEngine Valuation Warning occurs when more than 65% of all stocks are overvalued. This last
occurred at the mid-February highs.
10-Year Note – (3.454) Daily, weekly, annual and quarterly value levels are 3.530, 3.641, 3.796 and
4.016 with monthly, annual, and semiannual risky levels at, 3.181, 2.690, 2.441, and 2.322. The
monthly chart favors an up trend for yields beginning with the December 2008 low yield at 2.016. This
corresponds to when the Federal Reserve cut the funds rate to zero to 0.25%. The up trend goes
through the low yield at 2.334 set in October 2010 in the midst of the QE2 hype.

Comex Gold – ($1434.60) Annual, semiannual and annual value levels are $1356.5, $1300.6 and
$1187.2 with a daily pivot at 1429.1, and semiannual, weekly, quarterly and monthly risky levels at
$1452.6, $1469.8, 1523.7 and 1559.9. The monthly chart is overbought and the price pattern looks like
a parabolic rise that accelerated as the Fed cut the funds rate to zero in mid-December 2008.

Nymex Crude Oil – ($106.65) My annual and monthly value levels are $101.92, $101.09 and $99.91
with a weekly pivot at $105.31, and semiannual, daily and quarterly risky levels at $107.14, $108.20,
$114.27 and $120.52. The semiannual level at $107.14 was tested overnight and is now a pivot.
The monthly chart is overbought and oil was as low as $33.20 per barrel just after the Fed cut the
funds rate to zero percent. A zero percent funds rate was clearly a license for traders to speculate.

The Euro – (1.4167) My quarterly value level is 1.3401 with daily, weekly and monthly pivots at
1.4051, 1.4119 and 1.4190 with quarterly and semiannual risky levels at 1.4308 and 1.4624. The euro
tested its 120-month simple moving average at 1.2085 in June 2010.

Monthly Dow: (12,320) Annual and semiannual value levels are 11,491, 10,959, and 9,449 with
monthly, quarterly and annual risky levels at 12,481, 13,774 and 13,890. We show overbought MOJO
with the 120-month simple moving average as support at 10,500.
