SPY & DIA landed just above the broken downtrend line today... back kiss???... maybe... but if tomorrows close breaks down... the whole thing could be an engineered BULL TRAP... :huh: ... the QQQ's have about 1.7 points down to test this line... and if the dow and spx cant hold that line... u betcha the qqq's are headed down the same path... w/ alot further to drop (if thats the case) making the QQQ's the most risk adverse short right now...

TA, I am still inclined to think this is still a wave B pull back in an A-B-C correction up to 1415 but will let you know if I see something to change my mind. My B target for now is around 1311. The way I got that was working backwards 1360-1256 = 104 = A). (1415-104 = 1311 = Wave B]. Why 1415 ©? Its the 50% retrace of the decline so far which was where I think all of the bear rallies in 2000-2002 stopped.

yes... i think mine was drawn on the SPY's... which trade a bit off SPX cash (from a multiple)... but that's an even stronger case you've made for an excellent R/R short setup... and was confirmed with a reversal in the oscillators... still both should be confirmed by:

1.with your's a continued move down
2.with mine a break of the trendline

nice chart work

i see... thats the mixed signal between price action vs. internals... so... IYB... would you still be buying weakness if we break the downtrend line from above... because that's where any weakness would take us...

It morphed from an "Island Bottom" to a turd when the low came on more volume... :bear: :cheer: :bear:

I will still buy weakness so long as SS's do not go to sell mode. If and when they do switch to sell mode....so do I. At this point, however, they have a whole lot of divergence work to do in order to get there- which is why I'm a currently a buyer on weakness.
