The Standard & Poor’s 500 Index will fall to 1,232 by March 31, marking the bottom of a “modest correction,” according to Birinyi Associates Inc., which cited data measuring average drops of at least 5 percent since 1945.
The decrease would represent a 2 percent retreat from yesterday’s close of 1,256.88. When the S&P 500 loses 5 percent during a rallying period, the decline lasts an average of 41 days and extends to 8.3 percent, according to a report today by Cleve Rueckert, an analyst at Birinyi Associates. Since the S&P 500 peaked this year at 1,343.01 on Feb. 18, it has fallen 6.4 percent through yesterday, paring gains since March 9, 2009, to 86 percent.
These predictions are so stupid. I guess Birinyi Associates Inc. just wants to get its name into the media. Or the journalist did not know what to do and met this guy for lunch. Why stupid? Because there are about 1000 predictions which have the same chances of being accurate.

Not sure if the trend line resistance is going to work, my guess is should be on the upside as this looks like a measured move or you may like to call ABC up.

What I see is a Bull Flag, therefore the measured move can go as far as $130.

Hi Cobra, thank you for this board-nice place.
Hi to all of you, like your contributions as well, thanks!
I know that most of the time you write about indices but I have a question about a stock, maybe somebody could give a technical poit of view.
I am holding a leveraged position in SLB with a stopp/loss @78,50. Not sure if I should take profits today and reload in a possible next leg down of S&P. Not sure if SLB-chart provides any point of view, that the turning point was reached yesterday.
Especially given the fact how the lows always got bought.
Thank you for your opinions!
Have a great day!

Qs, IWM, Tran need to pick up some slack here. any ways to hold longs over night is still risky from looking at all these.

I cannot say the chart looks bad. The rebound today is strong so I'd hold for tomorrow and see.
