All three elements of the Metals Triumvirate are at present above their respective Neutral Zones for today, whilst below same is Oil; volatility for the BEGOS Markets is mostly light, the largest EDTR tracing to this point being Oil at 49% (see Market Ranges). Oil’s best Market Rhythm for pure swing consistency on a 10-test basis is the 1hr MACD, whilst on a 24-test basis ’tis the 15mn Parabolics; Oil’s 21-day linreg trend is slightly becoming more negative as the “Baby Blues” of trend consistency have fallen below the 0% axis (see Market Trends); and by its Market Profile, Oil (currently 88.77) is trading below its most volume-dominant price for the past fortnight of 89.70. Nothing is due today for the Econ Baro. And Q1 Earnings season for the S&P 500 continues to run at an above-average pace: with 53 constituents thus far having reported, 44 (83%) have improved their quarterly year-over-year bottom lines; at issue, however, remains the dangerously high (futs-adj’d) P/E of 48.2x.
