It seems all clear to me now the $spx is gunning for 1282 before any turn. This will break the previous 2 lower highs thereby fooling everybody before ripping your face off with a nasty downturn. Looks like it will be a choppy move up and we may get one more move back to 1230ish, but that is the plan as I see it. Last two bottoms (late November and this Monday) have been marked by huge gaps up rather than an intra day reversal. I see this generally as a weaker reversal, but don't see anything really cooking on the downside until early January.

I shorted TZA yesterday let see :lol:
at what price did you sell?
26.92 well, it's all gone now, waiting for more sign maybe selling financial FAS/FAZ next.
Very nice executions!
TNX turning down what got me to think that this market will not go on much higher BKX is still strong.

You've been posting some pretty good charts for awhile now, keep them coming!
Pullback to 1240? green neckline? or lower 50 day?... or a quick strong pop to the 200 day

SPX 200 SMA 1259.36
SPX 50 SMA 1232.50

I do not understand the rationale behind your TZA short and the arguments behind it. TZA is close to its 52 week low, therefor lets short it. The TZA is linked to $RUT, if the russel index is not about to break out from a resistance, why would you expect TZA to break down and behave independently from RUSSEL. Due to the tracking error it is falling more than $RUT would justify it, but it is still linked to it. It woth shorting on long term anyway, because you can earn the racking error, but this is fairly independent of its TA status.
Shorting TZA is like buying TNA, when I feel the weakness/strength in any sector/indexes I will go at it. as far as 52 week Hi/Lo they mean nothing to me and my style of trading is I don't target or project price of support/resistance, I will react to them. like SPY at the current stage, a resistance, base on my yellow level marked, am I selling it here? No. I shorted TZA since yesterday because I got buy signal on IWM before the close, instead of buying TNA, I picked to short TZA. right now I am doing nothing.

The SC Rally is defined as the last 5 trading days of the year and the first 2 of the New Year. Since the markets are closed on Monday, the 26th, day 1 is tomorrow.

DAX direction is not clear yet, so I won't say it's a bear flag. It's in a range so far. Euro is weak that's for sure.

The signal for 11 am might be a reversal to the upside. If so keep an eye on 1255, the surge from 1202.30 points to this level, first leg 100%, second leg 61.8%. Happy trading :D

Being a casual scalper I like the 52-week low if you know what I meant... :mrgreen:

Thanks, for the explanation. I still do not understand the technical point. How do you short TZA? You have to own it, or have to borrow. Is your brokerage is so flexible, or you hold TZA? Buying and selling something is a straitforward transaction. That is why TNA and TZA was created in pairs, just to make things easy. Instead you do the opposite. May be I am too conservative ...
