alex - just a ? not a criticism - arent most turns done by just a few power stocks - it takes some time for the rest to follow? 

 

I do not think the downside is over but this may be a longish pause.

could be. but probably after some extended decline.

In our case we had just a blip, and further distribution is masked by a handful of stocks.

Thanks Alex - I did mean a pause in the downward action - it looks like a bear flag in the indices to me. I think Pisces has a good point - breaking 2115...

They hit the initial STOP. But the swing is still bullish.

 

Pullbacks are still opportunities to get long. Not saying blindly buy the dip, but using a proper setup.

SPX 2141 is a good level to go long today with day low as STOP.

Typical STOP size for me is 6 SPX points. It has increased to about 10-11 points in the last few days. That tells me all i need to know about the market volatility. Don't need no stinking VIX.
