April 30, 2010 – Stocks are Re-testing Resistances

Treasury yields are in a stalemate between supply and risk aversion as the 10-Year tested and
could not take out it’s semiannual pivot at 3.675. If Comex Gold can close above my semiannual
resistance at $1186.5 today, look for a new high in May as currency of last resort, as the PIIGS
contagion is a real risk. Nymex Crude Oil is in a tug of war between commodity speculation and
prospect of slower GDP growth in the second half of 2010, as Initial Jobless Claims remain well
above the 350,000 Recession threshold. The Euro is trying to stabilize above 1.32 after dipping
below that level earlier in the week. The major equity averages are back near longer-term
resistances as gains of the last two days nearly offset the declines of Tuesday.

10-Year Note – Weekly and semiannual supports are 3.983 and 4.250 with daily and semiannual pivots
at 3.723 and 3.675, and monthly and quarterly resistances at 3.607 and 3.467. The daily chart shows a
MOJO divergence that favors higher yields but that changes given a close today richer that my
semiannual pivot at 3.675.

Comex Gold – Weekly, semiannual, annual, quarterly and annual supports are $1146.2, $1139.7,
$1115.2, $1052.8 and $938.7 with daily, semiannual and monthly resistances at $1178.4, $1186.5 and
$1202.5. Rising MOJO favors some upside but today’s close needs to be above $1186.5.

Nymex Crude Oil – Annual and quarterly supports are $77.05 and $58.41 with weekly and daily
resistances at $86.26 and $86.51. Annual and semiannual resistances: $97.29 and $97.50. Flat MOJO
suggests that oil should have a problem grinding through $86.51 today.

The Euro – Daily and quarterly supports are 1.3130 and 1.2450 with weekly, monthly and quarterly
resistances at 1.3401, 1.4081, 1.4145 and 1.4478. Declining MOJO reflects limited near term upside.

Dow Tracks – Daily Chart
Daily Dow: There’s an up trend resistance line that connects highs going back to November 2009. We
now have declining MOJO with the 21-day simple moving average at 11,045. A close today below
11,045 shifts the daily chart to negative and indicates risk to the 50-day and 200-day simple moving
averages at 10,783 and 10,132.

Weekly Dow: The Dow ended last week above its 200-week simple moving average at 11,134 with the
61.8% Fibonacci Retracement of the October 2007 to March 2009 low at 11,246. This level was
tested on Monday with a new high for the year at 11,258. MOJO has become even more
overbought. The weekly chart remains positive but overbought on a close this week above its 5-
week modified moving average at 10,886. My annual pivot is 11,235 with semiannual and weekly
resistances at 11,442 and 11,483. I still predict Dow 8,500 before Dow 11,500.

Monthly Dow: Back in March 2009 the Dow held the up trend that goes back to the low following “The
Crash of 1987”. The Dow also held its 61.8% Fibonacci Retracement of the rally from the 1987 low and
the October 2007 high. ValuEngine showed all eleven sectors as 32% to 45% undervalued. These
were the reasons I predicted a 40% to 50% rally for stocks. Today sectors are overvalued by 2% to
23.5%. The 120-month simple moving average is 10,462.
