"Markets undecided. Bears have Edge!" - 2/19/08



"Markets undecided. Bears have Edge!" - 2/19/08

the parallel triangle pattern in SPX suggests that bears and bulls are at a deadlock. there are no winners in the past 3 weeks...only consolidation. weak volume is also a signal of this. i call it the calm before the storm. the market can break out and move up from here or fall hard and continue its descent. i think the market suggests more the latter. TNX has been a great leading indicator and it suggests that we are very much in a downtrend and will fail this retest of the trendline and head back lower from here. The best traders will wait for a confirmation breakout of the triangle before investing. I, on the other hand, am invested moderately heavy to the downside.
