Gold, Oil And G6 Targets For The Week Of October 8th

This is Part Two of the regular weekly analysis of SPX, Gold, Oil and G6 currency pairs. For Part One, covering the SPX, interest rates and sector spiders click here.

As a reminder, we’ve added the current weekly and daily signals readings. Please note that these signals are in effect as of the close on Friday and may change as soon as the markets re-open. The SAR signals are based on the interaction between price and Gann angles drawn from swing highs and lows. On the chart they are color coded as green/buy, red/sell and yellow/hold. When the current signal is hold, we also include the preceding buy or sell signal (e.g. Buy/Hold or Sell/Hold). Hold signals followed by a buy/sell signal in the direction of the preceding buy/sell signal can be considered for pyramiding the position.
