I have a target of around 1295, which also happens to be close to the high of 10/27/11. It seems we should see a rebound in Apple to get some sort of rally, and we are not getting that today. My Apple target is around 515 in the short term...

We'll see what happens if we don't get a rebound here...

Btw, there are many positive aspects that should have caused a bounce, but we haven't gotten it, so this market is very bearish. It reminds me of the run-up when we had many instances when we should have gotten a pull back, but we continued to have a slow trickle up. Maybe we are getting a slow trickle down until we reach the time and price objective....

I don't see triangle but for now maintain the plan. I'm mostly clueless for today's market action.

holding tza is a risk now... (as for me)
I think much lower lows in them markets are headed here, I was just thinking of taking some profits, a bounce here in SPX would be not unreasonable.
Yea, if we break 1314 ... will go lower ...

TraderLady, I guess today's market is heavily skewed in view of tomorrow, tricky to trade.

Compromised:
Sold half available TZA position at 21.97$. 19.2% profit.
McClellan Oscillator is slowly heading towards very low values from where it normally rebounds sharply. The faster it goes the better but it looks like it may be a slow grind down.

Agree. Wonder how much of a relief bounce it will have. One reason for a bounce would be that XLF is sitting at this support level, but FAS is consolidating under the same support....

Tomorrow is Zukeroff day, I believe the norm is a big up day on hot IPO's?

Head of Credit Suisse TA in London on CNBC, he now targets 1300 and 1290 after reading our posts here on Cobra's forum. But he didn't mention us, just stole our TA ideas... :shock:
