The NYMO cycle is down.
NYMO has been descending below the zero line for the last few days.
Price has been doing a volatile nothing for two weeks now.
I would say the trend has gone flat but we remain in a nice up channel.
It looks like we are testing the bottom channel edge this morning.
So, I am looking for it to provide support or break.
A close outside the channel would be telling.
The benchmark price at the last NYMO cycle high is SPX 2695.32.
From here, it is kind of hard to imagine price getting there.
There is a rising 200 day MA and a rising middle keltner band to act as support by the time NYMO hits the lower turn zone.
So, I am guessing a trip to the benchmark, if it occurs, will be a zig zaggy affair, but who knows.
My longs were stopped out in Monday's downdraft.
It was a good ride and a nice way to start the year.
It is not unusual for trading to get tougher with some signal failures and drawdowns after back to back smooth trends like we have had.
I will accept what comes.
I put on some R2K short yesterday.
Setup criteria to short SPX were not met (stronger downward movement needed).
Let's see what happens.
