how do you trade the SPX directly?
are you in England?
Trading SPY, SPY puts/calls, /ES and other products.. depending on the support/resistance level.. 20d/50d/200d/20w/50w SMA .. etc.. using SPX as guideline easier to post one chart than 4 ….

Still iffy here.. we "may" stall VIXes sideways… bonds TLT nHODs

Jim Cramer is the ultimate symbol of the Wall Street money machine. He is the distilled essence of how they take your money by constantly advertising on a fact free basis.

Twitter back up. Fed speaker Harker's prepared remarks have been released and there is no comment on interest rates.

Working on a double top as the London/Frankfurt exchanges close. They were half of the bull move overnight and contributed to the additional 8 points tacked on to the overnight high since the New York open.

Sorry, buddy, but you need a better indicator set. I can show you several metrics that are BELOW March 2009. That's right. Measurements that show less risk and more under-valuation now than at that time. I don't think the market is poised to rocket higher as it did then, but it's going up...a lot. The fact is there is not a hint of euphoria *in the metrics that matter*. Furthermore, inflation expectations are so low that the Fed won't get aggressive yet, which pushes assets prices higher in general. It could literally be years until the "top" happens and it will probably be 30% or more higher at minimum.

cletus,
You very well could be right. The wave counters I follow who have done a good job of calling the turns well in advance are saying things are murky about direction and while down has a slight edge longer term, the current direction is up. And that longer term edge could could quickly shift back. But the Fed is doing stage magic right now, they are distracting the audience with interest rate talk while they continue to drain liquidity. :)

Normally it seems to take up to an hour after the European close before the market finds a direction. Although I really wish someone would stop the car and just ask for directions. :lol:

Cletus, if you look at the SPX weekly chart posted by Fehro, you will see that price is making lower highs and lower lows. It means bears are still in control, so every move up is just a bounce until proven otherwise. You can start making a case for the bulls if you see a weekly close above 2800. But even then, it doesn't mean bulls are is control. All it will mean is that bears are no longer in control. So both will have to fight for control.
