The futures are up very strong this morning. If we close near the highs today or show a consistently strong day with no late day sell off then I am going to have to conclude that the three day correction we just had was only a classsic Wyckoff retest of new support. If that is … Read more
As of today the weekly sp500 candlestick is displaying as a gravestone doji. This weekly candle has the potential to imply very bearish follow through action assuming we get a weekly close next week under this weeks low to confirm it. If the market manages to get a very strong rally tomorrow then it could … Read more
Only 45 minutes after my BOT short call signal I might have to flip flop and negate the signal. It all depends on how we close today. In a previous post I indicated that a close under 1120 on the sp500 would slip the market quite bearish. So far today the weakness is moderating quite … Read more

The persistence of the current rally brings on the temptation to think that it is unsustainable. But keep in mind that yesterday was a sign of … Read more
The GLD ETF was only marginally higher today while the stock market had a very strong day. The GLD ETF finished with a daily reversal hammer and the volume today was surprisingly light. I did a post previously articulating some concern about the somewhat sluggish gold price uptrend in recent months. The sluggish gold price … Read more
The SPY got a confirmed bullish break above the 113 resistance level. The volume on the SPY was the robust but by no means record volume. I would have liked to have seen a 320 million share day on the SPY ETF instead of 217 million. Still the SPY ETF did show a very strong … Read more
So far 2 hours before the close of session it looks like the sp500 and the SPY ETF wants to choose the bullish option. In my previous post I made the point that despite the potential for topping as of 9/17/2010, the market was not showing us a real confirmation of anything yet. Dojis and … Read more
