Based on the Commitments of Traders tabulated Tue, January 10, 2012 released Fri, January 13, 2012.

Commercial selling triggered a COT Fisher sell signalwarning. These progress to actual sell signals in 95%of cases. Combined with last week's minor sell signalin Dow futures, we expect a resumption in the major

downtrend. Stock indexes are in weak hands with bothlarge trader groups net short and only small tradersholding more long than short contracts This providesplenty of long-liquidation fuel for the next downleg.

Both trend-following CTAs and counter-trend-trad-ing commercials set new all time records, keeping theDollar Index speculatively overbought in the extremeThis condition is not unusual in a major uptrend--note

the textbook COT Index bull market pattern (circled).There is no telling how overbought a bull trend maybecome before an eventual correction. A trailing stop-loss can help in holding longs for maximum gains.

Commercials were sellers on strength--their normalpattern--keeping the COT Index in bull market mode.High prices & Fed manipulation make risk / reward un-attractive, suggesting we stand aside Treasury futures.

There was very little movement in net positions. CTAsremain heavily exposed net long, making the preciousmetals sector vulnerable to deep, cascading declineswhen the primary bear trend resumes.

Commercials were net sellers for the week, triggeringa major COT sell signal. We expect a COT sell signal torestart the downtrend. The huge overhanging CTA netlong position creates the potential for a large decline.

Continued commercial selling triggered a COT-Fishesell signal warning, suggesting the next leg of theprimary downtrend off the September 9, 2011 majoCOT sell signal is beginning.
