Beware…Commodities Are A Little Too Quiet
I noticed something in the commodity charts, or perhaps you could say I noticed something that wasn’t in the commodity charts. In other words, commodities have been looking fairly quiet, a little too quiet. After putting in a bearish breadth divergence signal breadth has washed around a bit, still at quite weak and indecisive levels. Yet looking at the index itself (in this case the GSCI Light Energy Index), it appears to be trading in a triangle pattern – which represents a degree of indecision in the market, and sets out clear parameters for a breakout.
At the same time, while there’s been a relative lack of price volatility, or realized volatility, implied volatility has likewise compressed, and it all just feels a little like the calm before the storm. Technically speaking a triangle pattern can see a breakout either side, i.e. no bias until a breakout. While implied volatility compressions tend more often to occur prior to a downward movement in price. So when you think about the bull market correction thesis for the US dollar, perhaps that’s a catalyst for lower commodities. Either way, the lines in the sand are drawn, so watch and be ready.
Commodity market breadth looks weak, at least indecisive, while the commodities benchmark GSCI Light Energy Index is trading in a triangle pattern. Breakouts from these patterns can be fast and furious, e.g. see copper which made a sharp upside breakout late last year.
