Denali92 saw that January/March 2002 had some similarities with 2016 - so I drew the chart. Chart shows that MA 200 can be quite meaningless in volatile markets.
Denali's analysis of March 2002 versus March 2016 can be read in Cobra's Outlook posted yesterday evening (Thursday).

S&P 500 SPDRS STAY ABOVE 200-DAY LINE... Stocks are extending their recent rally. Chart 5 shows the S&P 500 SPDRS (SPY) continuing to gain more ground after recently clearing their 200-day average. Also encouraging are the day's gains in consumer discretionary, technology, and industrials shares which are also above their 200-day lines. So is the drop in the CBOE Volatility (VIX) to the lowest level this year (Chart 6). That shows less fear and more optimism. All in all, a positive for risk on assets.
ZeroHedge has quite a few followers. Some of his calls are very good, some are just plain stupid: he sometimes writes about things he just doesn't know. Quite important that we focus on what we know and don't let us be carried away by hubris. In the last few weeks I read two articles of his which were absolute nonsense So I'm a sceptic.
