program trades on the close yesterday continued their operation well into the night before anything was resolved over in Europe .. so i say nice save.

so with this pop @ the end of month friday.. the NEWs can now advertise to the public how well the markets performed this month.

the fact is overall for the indexes, half of this months gains are being produced by today's gains and the other half was produced

on the first trading monday June 4th after putting in a June 1st bottom. since then basically every other day was a net loss, and without todays gains

the weekly signals were moving to a sell yesterday before the last hour. funny coincidences again as both relate to

Euro News and took place the first and the last days of the month.

technically higher reversal prices most always improve the picture, however markets do move somewhat work towards balance most of

the time bar the extended price runs into divergences. so i'm expecting a moderation in the strong price picture in the short term to allow

what i call the second chance opportunity. since the DOW has basically moved up 400 points off yesterdays lows during the

last hour and the first hour today, it is extremely over bought. .. not sure how much but try a

fib number of .38% of that 400 point move could be the next entry point for longs and or shorts that need to flip . i still see we can move into the upper

area of the highs for the DOW in the coming Holiday time frame as it would be unpatriotic to have the FEDs allow the markets to degrade over

an Independence Holiday week. so if we get anything like a 100-175 point pull back just bite the bullet and give your short term long signals a try .

at least you didn't chase it. any pullback should come soon near the close or tomorrow as the euphoria dries up.. but waiting has its own risk.

these markets will trade technically to the point of break down and then recover more often then they will break down completely . there

are backstop players in place to save the system. :bowtie:

Dev can this mania go for another day on Monday for another 20 points with the new month buying and top right there? Remember the December rally started like that... I was an insane move up that topped and declined for two weeks before establishing the up trend into January... This time I expect the coming 6 wk low on July 16-18 to be that low, meaning another insane move until 4th of July... Then a quick top... This was obviously a save.

This wasn't a save. We've been forming a base for over a month. The price patterns over these period have been bullish - I've pointed these out before (even if they formed poorly).

Now we get some "positive" news and the players caught on the wrong side scramble.

Yeah nice call Orange. How high do you think on this swing? Maybe 1400? ;)

I agree that this was not a save as the chart below I posted on June 15 showed that this market is within a period of multi-week bullish bias. The chart has yet to provide anything near a sell signal.

The growth was selling down, broke the lows from Monday and Tuesday, then the gigantic liquidity was pushed, this market could've closed the gap or gapped down without this liquidity. I was bullish, but I am very concerned by the lagging growth stocks, even today. The liquidity being pushed right before the break downs is kind of save to me, but it doesn't matter, I made my money in the right side.
