no conclusion today, need see tomorrow. daily chart is another reversal bar, so still bulls are not over yet.

Hi, Wasn't today's daily black bar reversal (open high/close low, w/higher close than previous day) BEARISH?? So bad news for bulls, right? Thanks, Bert

black bar means reversal but it depends on where it locates:

Black bar on swing top implies a potential reversal down therefore is bearish.
Black bar on swing low implies a potential reversal up therefore is bullish.

So today's black bar cannot be interpreted as bearish.

Financials look like they might get beat up tomorrow, but who knows what jupiter will do with that, we could still bounce, but then another down next week. Was looking at XLF, and it looks like we are nearing Fib support, looks similar to last year so far... just don't think we are going to get the massive correction we did last year, think we are going to get new highs into Q1 of 2013, then down we go!!

Whose orders do the machines (computers?) see? My orders? Individuals with a brokerage account who trade? I want to know if I am supporting this and legality is not my question.

150 yrs ago, Thoreau stopped paying his taxes because he did not want to support a government which acted contrary to his beliefs. He went to jail. I am not willing to do that.

Many of us are compromised.

The banking stocks seem to be the biggest losers after hours.

Anyone know what may be causing this?

JP Morgan reveals trading loses of 2 billion.

JPM & the banks are overbought. They can afford to dump.



In the chart, high numbers mean JPM is strong relative to KBE.
JPM is a component of KBE, which is similar to XLF.
