Wednesday Commodities Round-Up



On the weekly CRB chart, notice the following:

-- Prices have been dropping hard for the last three months. They are now at their lowest point in over three years.

-- Prices clearly broke the uptrend that started in the summer of last year

-- Prices are below all the SMAs

-- All the SMAs are moving lower

-- The 10 week SMA has moved through the 50 week SMA

-- The 20 week SMA is about to move through the 50 week SMA



On the daily chart, notice the following:

-- Prices are below all the SMAs

-- All the SMAs are moving lower

-- The shorter SMAs are below the longer SMAs

-- Prices have continually broken through previously established lower to make new lows

-- Prices have dropped about 36% in the last three months

Bottom line: both of these charts are bearish.
