Looking at the Bollinger Bands, they are very tight. Looking at the charts, we can get higher prices in the short term, but this tight of BB's have usually led to about 100 pt drop in SPX from the high....
This chart is old. When was the time you ve'seen SPY $120 in past three days? Hourly chart turned bullish. For swing trading or day trading it is better to use 5-15 mins chart in my opinion.
BTW, what I see it is bullish .
Thanks for the comments. BTW, I am totally lost with "SPY $120". What's that all about?
BTW, did Cobra post before about the day of employment number? Something about the day or the day that follow would be red most of the time.... Anyone remember? TIA.
His chart showing $120 back in December 2011. If you look at the chart it has been bullish in past three days.

Today's action, if it is sustained, will put my short trade on warning. The McClellan Oscillator should be back in positive territory and the summation index is likely to tick up. If Monday continues this dynamic, the setup will exit the trade at Monday's close provided certain technical indicators reinforce the call. Right now those indicators are not supportive, but that could change by Monday.
While the S&P and NASDAQ indexes only corrected briefly this week, the McClellan data has corrected and consolidated a considerable amount over three weeks. While this could all be part of a topping process, it does leave room for the market, from a McClellan perspective, to do more climbing. We shall see.
