For if the sp cash goes above 1296 . well above 1309 it takes off and most likey will not look back . As for aapl been buying may 355 today . so I am long 200% sp sept 130 hon june 60 and aapl may 355 calls and started buying gs calls still long japan calls from 8300 and puts on vxx as well as long calls on copper for the last four days . FOR THE RECORD IWILL NOT PLACE ANY STOPS .A FEW WEEKS BACK I wrote you would see 1260 before 1360 , based on my fob and sprial work for oil gold silver and stock .Well based of these same cycles we will see 1423 to 1455 before we see 1200 . enjoy your weekend and I hope someone quess as how I came up with the target on VIX AT 31.37 HIGH WAS 31.26 Best Of Trades !! the top isnt in !!!!
What does it mean to be 200-300% long options? Why were you starting your long operations at 1315 when you thought 1260 would be seen before 1360? When you say no stops with a 300% position are you saying you are willing to lose your whole account on this trade? BTW, I do believe the primary trend is on your side so good luck

It failed to touch it's upper BB on last rally.
There is a double top confirmed by a $340 breakdown which occurred on volume.
The channel has been busted
By the looks of the inside days, I would say it's consolidating for another thrust downward to $320-$325
Did I mention it underperformed the Q's today?
At least it's oversold, but now it's in a downtrend, so there isn't much reason to add longs here... Don't forget the lingering health concerns of Steve jobs
Don't worry though, Spring sunshine is just around the corner.

I think there is HUGE pressure on the bulls to perform for the next 9 trading days which will mark the end of the quarter and quarterly closing candlestick...
They HAVE to close above 1294 during the next 9 trading days other wise you can stick a fork in it IMO.
if they close the month near 1257 then there will be a massive quarterly gravestone doji which will end up killing the bull...
Bull market corrections are sharp but don't last long. We have new highs coming after this.
I'll take a 25% drawdown on my 401k and expect to get most if not all of it back before
the bull is done.

Everything you say make a lot of technical sense (and thanks for the observations), but if the market can find a bottom here, I suspect AAPL goes into a high-level trading range from maybe 325 or so (see your CCI, oversold and having trouble pushing it any lower) back on up to the highs. And if the Verizon IPhone is as big as previous IPhone rollouts and the latest IPad comes in big, and if a rising market kicks in...well, it could very well be less toast and more jam in the end.
That's all just a guess on my part at this point so take it or leave it.
P.S. And yes, Steve Jobs' health is always a worry.
Good luck to you.

Bull market corrections are sharp but don't last long.
That has been my observation also for many years of watching the markets.
However this market recently had sharp corrections and sharp rallies. So it feels like
a indecisive market.
