For the bulls, the sell-off since the July highs is a lot worse than the way it looks on paper. Every bounce that we’ve seen to date (and there have been plenty of them) has given the bulls reason for hope that the market would emerge out of the chaos, to buy back in, and
Never a good sign for the equity markets after the kind of week we're coming off of, with the SharePlanner Reversal Indicator still pointing straight up and nearing a short-term extreme. Further selling this week, will have this indicator pointing straight down and a visit to -600 territory on the indicator yet again. To say the
Quick look at the intraday action and the resistance level that I am ‘eye-ballin’ across the board in XLF and major indices. I’ve bought some TNA this morning, which I may come to later regret – but as you can see from the resistance we are trying to push through below, I think there

Quite the day in the market today, and I’m fairly happy that I chose to cover all my short positions as I wanted to avoid a scenario like we saw last Tuesday/Wednesday, where the market bounced off of its intra-day lows and rallied like the Coyote on an an ACME rocket. Based on futures after
Just to state the obvious of what we are seeing technically on the S&P. For the first time in this sell off we are finally seeing the market trade in a definable pattern. What we are seeing is a bear flag being formed. This hints at further downside ahead of us as we will
Pretty horrid way to the end the week considering what we got out of it on Tuesday with the huge intraday reversal, and the rip-roaring tear on Wednesday. But the jeepers started creeping back in ahead of the Obama speech on Thursday, and the creepers came about with Greek default jitters (say that a few
