Ive been looking at a load of charts and it looks like clear breakouts (who knows maybe fakeouts) in all of them. SPX, NDX, INDU, a load of stocks. What is barish about this???????????? In the 3rd yr presidential cycle June is the strongest month and next week strongest week. I think the bears are in real trouble!! YIKES. I am long, with a tight stop. I see the risk, but tyhink its worth taking. If we reverse, I stop out or go short. Until then I am LONG. Thank you for reading.

The Feb. drop came in at oversold daily and hourly readings, right when traders were taking the normal long position for the reversal. Right now could be the opposite.

Tor, from an Elliott Wave standpoint, we've had a clear 5 waves up from the lows. Fibonacci mathematics applied to price patterns suggests we're in the area of near-term high. Tony's work at Elliott Wave Lives is strongly suggestive of this and I see it in the work of other e-wavers. I think even the Chief might agree on this one, as bullish as he is longer-term...weird wolly wednesday coming up soon and all.

Fair enough, but I have hear about 5 waves up for about a month. So, the market must PROVE IT, otherwise it is just a myth/illusion IMO. like I said we will see. I have been taking long positions with tight stops for a while. I feel quite guilty as it is effectively free money. Unless there is an enormous gap down, I cannot fail but to win, as on my first loss, I stop doing it. I am risking 5 points per go. Lets say we reverse next week. I have a stop loss in at 1520 cash market. Good trading to you.
