Nothing to see here except for an $80 drop in Gold Futures to start the week! So is the yellow metal flashing red for the markets? For now, the selling in GC1! stopped at the double bottoms from back in March/April, and as of the time of this posting GC is now down only about 1%. V-bottoms, V-bottoms, talk about head fakes, this market's got 'em!

There is a good deal more economic news on tap this week with a jobs report Friday and PMIs mid-week. Earnings continue with 25% of the S&P still left to report.

Taking a page from Lumber futures back in May, coffee is the latest commodity to party like it's tech circa '99. I don't trade the "softs," but I did find a coffee ETN symbol: JO and may look to fade the caffeine rush when the extreme sell condition cools off. Hot coffee! DOn't get burned. :)

Stock indices finally broke their uptrends last week, and the small caps (RTYU2021) completely fell apart.

I use several scripts from the TradingView Volume Profile Suite for a trading strategy I'll teach in a upcoming video.

There's a new TradingView feature that lets us share our watchlists. I'm partial to my sexy collection of futures symbols, so go ahead and grab it here: www.tradingview.com Also, I've got a sell/short signal on the notes. RSI (upper 88), 3-period is a bit juiced.

It's rare to see back-to-back sell signals using the Extreme Turn on the daily timeframe, but here they be, separated by just a day! The signals are on the NQ1 continuous contract and we're expressing them via several MNQ contracts held short and a QQQ Put position for April 30.
