Hi Arb, I have not read through all the threads but was curious what your take is?

My favorite sequence: 1285 gap fill in the next 2-3 sessions a sharp bounce next week, perhaps new high on SPX then a roll over in early March a sell off down to 1250 by early April, kind of a running correction. I think the last bit of lows should come around early April, it could be as low as 1225 and as late as the week of April 11th. I think the combination of 60-62 wk and 40 wk cycles will create a lot of resonance first down and then up into spring. So for intermediate term, the market should be rolling over with wide swings in the first half. Upside target 1350-1380, if 1250 holds, otherwise, I will try to adjust to fit about 100-120 points rally from the lows (1220-1350) etc... For the long term, I am looking lower thereafter into October (15-20% crash or severe sell off) as 200 dma will probably turn down in fall and probably a rally from 80 wk low in December, I see higher in early 2012 and then lower till mid-2013. I see this year so far similar to 2007, the year that Fed starts to blow up, similar to the year real estate blew up. I think 2011 could close near break even with a last minute rally in December, but 2012 into 2013 will be the final phase of the bear, I expect the debt implosions to continue and straight out deflation.

There is one more possibility, it is low, but I must say it. We will see a straight down next week down to 1250 and then start the rally into April.
