Yeah. Corn and Beans did not end well last week. Kinda need to bounce soon...a little more down and stops should start triggering.

my 2cents:
I have a target 1494 cash before bigger correction take place until then I am scared to short, but break of the purple channel would be a good start for bears

The attachment SPcash.png is no longer available

Russell is the weakest link, but still above important support
Targets if we will get something bearish

Looking at the COT report, the commercial hedgers were pretty short at the high. They are closer to neutral now. So, the lumber correction may be done soon.

Cobra, I really got confused by this "smart money" chart.

For many weeks, I see you posting the charting, thinking that the "smart money" is accumulating short positions.

Until today I see your comments in the parenthesis : (meaning they're long).

So what on earth are the smart money doing? long or short ? Can you explain a little bit in detail ?

Thanks Mr. BachNut

From SentimenTrader: "In response to a member request, we looked at what's happened when the DJIA reaches an entire quarter (63 trading days) without a 1% decline, while recently trading at a 52-week high. Since 1900, there were 16 such cases. Over the next six months, the Dow was positive all 16 times, with a median return of +6.0%. The maximum decline during those periods averaged -3.5% versus a maximum gain that averaged +8.0%."
