Price is around 206. We need to hit the lower bb by 4/9 (almost always happens). On 4/9, the lower bollinger band will probably be around SPY 200, which is only a 3% drop from current price and not a very valuable play unfortunately this time. It would have been nice to get a valid sell signal and a big drop but won't happen now probably. Could just ignore the setup now.

why spy has to hit bb low?
It almost always hits the lower bb within 1 month after the midpoint of the bands makes a bullish cross of the daily SPY 50 dma. That event happened on 3/9. So by 4/9 it should hit the lower bb. Happens over 90% of the time.
I won't play it unless I also get a sell signal tho.

A close look at the USD helps me understand what's going on.
Yellen wants to weaken the $$$.
If the Fed manages to push the US-Dollar further down (to levels seen in 2007 - 2011) the equity markets will rally like crazy - and so might inflation
USD versus a basket of currencies, appreciation of USD in 2014 halted the equity rally
EUR versus USD, should EUR shoot back up to previous highs the profits/revenue of US heavyweights with international exposure will increase
Factory orders dove 1.7% in February as reported today by the US Census Bureau.
The weakness did not stop with the headline number. January orders were revised lower to 1.2% from 1.6%.
Core capital goods plunged a whopping 2.5%, and shipments fell 0.7%.http://mishtalk.com/2016/04/04/factory- ... sed-lower/
Don't worry… FB 'Likes' and GOOGL "clicks" will save us!!

Totally agree on that uempel.
Her dovish tone means that she is not afraid to have inflation above 2 % (and so a weaker USD).
