SPY - resistance remaining on 30min


XLF - closed at resistance

2/23 - stage 4a

2m: bearish


SPX week, resistance from very old trendline matches today's reversal


SPX - first down day in a long time..reversal or holds in trendline?


SPY - below 30ema...should go lower


XLF - fell hard...should go lower...maybe a bounce because sold off so hard today


UUP - dollar strong was a very bearish sign today...


JJC - copper showed the bear's hand yesterday


VIX - able to confirm 2x bottom and should be able to go higher


NYMO - confirmed reversal today...now we wonder if it will fall down as fast as it went up


ETFs - safety best, and momentum worse...bearish


  • feeling pretty bearish from looking at so many charts
  • i just always feel weird when so many signals so bearishness
  • the trendline should not be able to hold as support but always tough to believe that market will quietly go lower without a nice fight as we went up so strong lately
  • dollar will be key imo

Chart: 2004 vs Now

DJIA 2004


SPX 2004


this is from another blogger's post from: http://slopeofhope.com/2010/02/the-2004-analog.html

definitely interesting...and i think there is a very good chance we will move like 2004...uncanny thus far how perfectly aligned the charts are

2/22 - stage 2a

Pred - bearish side


SPX - 61% fib holds with a doji...


SPY - tight range and very close to being under 30ema..bearish diverging oscillators


RKH - resistance that hit SPX hard at the close? but still a bullish day for financials


UUP - below 30ema but still in a range...looks likely to be bullish as well as bearing


VIX - near a 2x bottom...didn't have a complete break of last support...held up strong today


NYMO - big reversal signal...


ETFs - financials vs energy..lets see who will give way first?


  • hard to say where we go next...
  • mcclellan sure looks downright bearish though...definitely seems late to buy long but time to exit out of longs was today? hard to say...
  • financials holding strong is biggest bull signal out there...don't think market can collapse without financials going back under 30ema
  • therefore, tomorrow will either be a huge drop in financials or a fall of VIX and UUP which will mean we might have one more push higher before fall

UUP 30, good pop then closing gap but holding at 30ema...where to nexT?


Copper - leading indicator as its a commodity of economic growth...bullish
