Good to be back on again after serious la[top ans related issues

 

The Markets badly want to rally but each move up is sold and there seems to be a stalemate

 

More later

It's because the fake news from the US China trade talk that is holding up the market and providing a support.  We should see a decisive move next week............

Debt is actually starting to rise again.  We may getting a lather, rinse, and repeat cycle here.  The Treasury raises funds in the auctions, builds up its cash balance, and then uses some of the cash to pay down debt

All this negative and fake news about trade war. N Korea etc, yet the market remains very resilient! 

If it closes about SPX 2730, then this is a bullish consolidation that can take it all the way to 2800

On the other hand, and there is always another side: close below SPX 2700 is bearish, an IT top

 

See BUYs here, but bear in mind the market does what the F it wants to do, ignores any buy or sell signals, does not care about overbought or oversold etc

Most likely, markets will finish lower today but I will not be surprised if there is a strong rally that takes SPX into the close above 2730.

My best guess at this time is that wave-c:ii is working through an edt... time will tell.
