Scott Pluschau: The iShares Russell 2000 ETF (NYSE:IWM) is forming what looks like a Head and Shoulders Pattern on the daily chart. The neckline which I drew with a blue trendline has to be broken down in order for the pattern to be in play. Why sell at $66 or $67 when you can sell at yesterday’s closing price Read more…

Scott Pluschau: The Daily Average True Range (ATR) in the gold futures has gone from the low $20’s in the beginning of August just over a month ago to greater than $50 today.

Scott Pluschau: The iShares 7-10 year Treasury ETF (NYSE:IEF) has been forming an immature balance area in the weekly time frame. Tuesday, September 6th, 2011, IEF gapped up to a new 52 week high and closed down on the day. I marked this with a grey oval on the Daily chart. Read more…
Scott Pluschau: PowerShares DB Agriculture ETF (NYSE:DBA) is breaking out of a Bull Flag pattern on the weekly chart.

Scott Pluschau: PowerShares QQQ ETF (NASDAQ:QQQ) had a breakdown from a mature balance area in the daily time frame on increasing volume. Why was the selloff so sharp? Not because of the credit downgrade, but because of the tremendous amount of trade facilitation that took place in this Read more…
Scott Pluschau: There is a classic trade set up in the iShares Silver exchange traded fund (NYSE:SLV). We had months of consolidation in silver and I have been sitting on the sidelines patiently avoiding random market behavior in this balance area. Two days ago there was a breakout, Read more…
Scott Pluschau: Let’s take a look at the Dollar Index symbol $USD on the weekly chart. The current pattern that is shaping up is an Ascending Triangle.

Scott Pluschau: Let’s take a look at a trade set up on CurrencyShares Euro ETF (NYSE:FXE). Back in early 2010 FXE had a few months of consolidation on the weekly chart, and the break down from this area resulted in a strong move downward. In 2010 there were two small consolidation areas Read more…
