Surf City
Surf City is a pseudonym for a 60-year-old retired Information Technology Executive and Software start-up Entrepreneur living near the beach in California. He has been an active investor and trader since the mid-1980s. Analytical by nature, his sound investments over the years allowed him to retire at a relatively early age of 55. In addition to the standard Technical Analysis tools of Edwards and Magee, Surf is a disciple of Walter Bressert’s Cycle Methodology and Stan Weinstein’s Stage 4 Market analysis. Surf combines these skills to develop his unique “Cycle Price Channels.” Some call them “Surf’s ForkCycles.

Both Gold and GDX surged to a new high on Friday, shifting the odds towards a right translated Trading Cycle #1 (TC1). This is not surprising as the first TC of any new Intermediate Cycle never fails by making a lower low. If it does ...
By now you know that my swing trading approach is to focus on the 5-6 Month Intermediate Cycle Low (ICL) to establish positions. It seems that everything that I track has the 5-6 month low to low cycle. Sometimes the ICLs come sooner at...
While we are not out of the woods just yet, evidence it beginning to build, from a Price and Time perspective, that an Intermediate Cycle low has been left behind. Gold’s daily and weekly charts look constructive thus far as are the COT...
As you know, for Gold and the PM complex, I have been expecting a 5-6 month Intermediate Cycle Low (ICL) in the December timeframe and the Fed’s FMOC meeting seems to provide the catalyst on a number of occasions.
Today I would like to step back and take a longer-term perspective on where gold is likely headed in 2018. My first chart is a 20+ year weekly showing that gold is at a major inflection point in my long-term uptrend channel. It shows a...
