OK, sure, the momentum is still down and so is Selecto's indicator too. Plus we have an options oscillator Sell.

But look at this chart:

We're already above the 200-day ema. The 21 and 50 are beneath and close together which is usually good support. The 200-day ema is up-trending and that's a sign for many of an ended Bear Market. Worse, the cumulative A/D volume is quite positive here. Christmas is coming, too. Now, what happens if we break out of this pattern? That's right. The 200-day SMA goes. That's what happens. How many Bears will cover when that happens? How many times will we threaten to break out of this pattern but fail to do so?

Now, just think on it. What would cause the largest number of people the most consternation while benefiting the largest amount of money?

Draw your own conclusions.

"I'm looking at that downtrend line, knowing that "they" are too."
(I covered that short Thursday.)

Tactically, it makes zero sense to let it go at this stage, just one more BS news and one more pump to go to finish the year. Feels and looks like 2007 even with the last minute Nov rally...


I'm looking at that downtrend line, knowing that "they" are too.
But it was too tempting to not short with the low trin warning at such resistance.
This "should" be dead here.
But I don't trust 'em.

Mark, Agreed with the swing term that it is dodgy. Very short term, I got a buy signal yesterday but that may go down on Monday, will be stopped out if it gaps down.

So far it looks to me like the Annual holiday Bearish Upthrust is in play. This chart is from after Thursday's close, but we did see a spring higher on the back of a lighter volume test on Thursday, consistent with a broadening top megaphone sideways at the top move. This rally was built on top of 130 pts of hot air gap up on the Nasdaq, so that is suspect. Based on what I see in the Euro, crude, the SOX, and the XOI, I still think that bearish upthrust can persist. However, we have the support all mapped out here in case it fails...

Laundry has been pushing a mid January "ringing cycle" low.
One possibility is a 2004/2005 repeat where price holds to year's end.
Just my thinking out loud BS at this point.

FIB, I assume you (and other internals people) are happy with NYA stats
to divine the SPX. I ask, because half the issues on the NYSE are fixed
income plays. I note some interesting discrepancies also. For instance
BPSPX mo gives me a "sell" Friday (and was down), while BPNYA is merrily
trucking along (and was up).

Last time I was this pissed at the market on a Friday, it exploded higher for more than a week. So I'm long and strong via some 3x etf's, just to prove I can humble myself, and make some good money on the long side for a bit. Might as well as ride the $27 trillion in liquidity that has benefited only the 1%, and been pilfered from the futures of the 99%, their children, and their children's children. :D
