didn't hold the breakout, my guess is the EMA20 blue line will be tested, there could be another buy opportunity (for day trade).

Tomorrow is the third last trading day of the month Is it still "normal" to be up on this day with the short at third last day theory?
Seems that hasnt worked too well recently. Just wondering esp now since the rally has been ridic. and chiosc is wayyyy too high!
tomorrow up.
the last 2 trading days were mostly up recently.
so this setup no longer works.

Will generate a small profit if gap to yesterday's close ever gets closed and a big profit if there is a move to new lows.
Bad news is that this bounce much higher than it should have been, which puts thesis in serious doubt.
Of particular concern is that NYA and certain other indexes hit lower low with positive divergences. So, there is an arguement for a double bottom having been made even though S&P didn't make one.
Will not be adding further to position. Have stop near last weeks highs but may tighten that if market action dictates.
Gulp.
Thanks for the update, Mr Bachnut. Agree that the up move has been powerful but that is often the case in bear market rallies after seriously oversold conditions. I plan to add some tiny short positions this afternoon, probably nearer to the close. If it goes to 1200, fine by me. I would only close the short if we exceeded 1220. TLT has been firming up a bit here. It is close to channel support, so if that holds, then maybe the equities rally will top out here. A breakdown of the channel near 114 would be bad news for bears though.
Agree. There should be a pretty good resistance zone around 1210 based on a couple of moving averages converging around there. If that falls, it will be telling.
One thought about TLT. Everyone is focused on windowdressing the equities. However, a lot of treasuries have been bought in recent weeks at very high prices. I imagine there will be some big funds out there who would like to see a nice quarter end print on their bond holdings. Just a thought. I don't know what to expect.
I mainly play FAS. Its 10/20MA are important resistances.
FAS shots over its 10MA/20MA today, like two weeks ago (see the chart attached).
In last six months, FAS seldom stayed over 10/20MA, once moved over, then pull-back. Recent case was one two weeks ago.

yes, the rebound is exceptionally strong this time.
Thanks for this chart. It really is a work of art! So although the move here has been as strong as previous ones, would you still expect a pullback phase as in b and b'? Since the rise was equally strong, then the pullback should also be approximately on the same scale. I would think so, but I'm interested in your thinking here.
so this setup no longer works."
Mean tomorrow up? or no up?
tomorrow up, works.
the last 2 days down no longer work, now up.
so should be up the rest of 3 days of this week. I don't mean it''ll be up 3 more days in a row, I just mean according to this failed setup.
I mean, cannot you guys check my public chart book yourselves? every chart I use are mostly in there.

I don't have the technical skills as most of you have here. Here is my 2-cents.
I believe EU may have a temporary "solution" to deal with Greek debt, which could be a "creative default".
In this case, we may see weak Euro but strong equity market.
BTW, I'm glad that I closed my short positions.
Cheers,
Today $VIX C/P vol. ~ 2. However, from “buy at…” and timing surveys, most put trades are exits, while call trades seem to be acquisitions.
Most active: VIX.Oct.40.Call
A good portion of the sectors I follow have now closed their gap down levels from last week. Based on today's stock market direction action many have now created gap ups. If this hold true by the close I will update the levels on my analysis webpage tonight. http://rocmarketdashboard.webs.com/
I believe, BEN is watching us (mainly Cobra's posts) here and decides how to move against the evil plan.
yeah, it happened many times, every time I said bulls or bears are weaker, the next day it showed exceptional strength. I really think someone is watching... one time is coincidence, 3 or 10 are no coincidences anymore.
