I am fully short FWIW. We might get up to that illusive 50% retrace (1416) Jim Curry tm. However, I see another retest if not my own illusive 1170 out there. We shall C. TE

Hey TA...nice find. I ran the same periodicity (60 min) but used a longer timeframe on $SPX to look for previous negative divergences. There were 4 on RSI since Jan of '08 prior to the one you charted. 2 of them...#1 and #4 could have been played for nice swingtrade short positions. #2 and #3 were part of a period of congestion and would probably have been whipsaw candidates. You're making me rethink my current long position. :) At least I may want to takes some chips off the table and buy a pullback. Thx. Bro.! (1 chart)

Hey SL. FED time does act as a "line of demarcation" for a lot of important moves. U.F.O.

Well, there's strong and there's not as strong... The past few days, I've set some modest targets for the SPX to hit to prove it can go lower, we have not yet tested one of them... today's target was 1387, the largest volume spike low from last Thursday. At this point, we can conclude that we may see 1387 some time soon based on the volume downthrust at the close today... we may even test it tomorrow. Now whether or not we can get more than a consolidation out of it is open to question. Chart Attached.

Once SPX breaks < 1389, I dont see much to stop it from testing further downside tgts 1380/1372 (regardless of volume).

My numbers on $SPX, FWIW, are:

Resistance:
1,403

Support:
1,385
1,376

A closing break of 1,403 or 1,376 would trigger IT buy/sell signals. ( 2 charts)
