This first research article is by a well known Canadian of more than 40 years experience as a professional technical analyst. (He’s also a veritable “encyclopedia” of market history in the metals, energies and equities.) He’s right far more often than he’s wrong.

The second is from my technician friend who has at least as many years as a professional in that trade. He’s made numerous calls of incredible accuracy, and when nothing works out chart-wise and technically he quickly admits it.

The picture they paint isn’t an especially easy one – and maybe not a friendly one. But the verdict should soon be revealed – and we should be prepared to act on it when it arrives – whatever it is.
