Weekly [01/05] Study
Welcome Back SetStack : Rested from the Holidays.
This release kicks off the first full week of the New Year.
In the past I’ve treated this period of time as “Initial Balance for the Year.” This being the first two weeks of January. During which you can expect a combination of residual trend, seasonal drift, and of course — newly generated information. The concept of waiting for more structure to work with can avoid many early pitfalls.
Rising tensions on the Index provide an earlier prompt, but not necessarily quick to take action. The opportunity to act was before. The auction at hand is telling me it is better now to wait. Afterall, my release that called for Axes put a halt to Our Rally. Fast forward a month in advance, we’re trading the same Price.

SetStack releases are not dependent on Time. That defeats the purpose of releasing around key opportunities. The Market can absolutely spend another 2 weeks in balance and the long sequence can still be correct.
Aside from the liquidation event from Rollover, the market has been quiet. The exception being this holidays’ biggest headline — Precious Metals.
Gold, Silver and Platinum have made remarkable moves. This will certainly be worth monitoring as Q1 picks up. A relationship between Indicies has not yet been seen. In fact, a lack of reaction is most likely being seen in terms of Price movement. This release is a forewarning of expected change. — More on this below.
