MarketGauge has some pretty cool proprietary software.
One indicator is Triple Play. That measures the ratio between a particular instrument and a benchmark.
Triple Play reveals the true trend strength of a market based on “price leadership” and “volume power”.
This measure of the market’s health gives you an advantage that other traders don’t have.
For example, many are calling for a top in gold.
Others have already taken profits and are out now in the position where they must chase to re-enter.
While others are using relative strength to reason that gold is overbought and must correct.
The Triple Play indicator shows us that gold will continue to trend.
Here’s why.
First, a word about Junk bonds.
The last daily I mention that JNK is a great way to time the market.
If JNK breaks the 200-WMA, then perhaps we can confidently say the move up is over.
However, as of today, JNK has moved up further thereby signaling no end in sight to risk appetite.
Regardless, gold has something else to say entirely.
Have a look at the middle box of the chart.
That shows the ratio between the S&P 500 and Gold.
In 2011, gold reached a price of $2000.
The ratio between SPY and GLD was at 1.57.
Today, with gold trading at or around $2000, that same ratio is at .57.
One-third of where it was in 2011.
What could that mean?
It could mean that gold is still well-undervalued relative to SPY and the ratio can double or triple from here before we hit 2011 levels.
Think about that top pickers!
