Well, it looks like the markets just had a pop off the lower BBs /50 day average up to a now flattish 20 day average which is standard. As some have mentioned, internals weren’t really that strong to match the price move (and it looks like the Dow really outperformed all of the indices yesterday).
In fact, I wouldn’t be surprised to see the last two days of gains reversed on Monday. It would match similar activity going into early May 2010 which is still holding up as a similar albeit more protracted fractal… A certain little component of a certain little indicator has now reached an area where a reversal back down can now be seen. It would be setting up a once common pattern that has now disappeared, “the complex bottom” pattern. For the past few years, the big spikes down seem to finish off a down move in the indices and the spikes seem to follow some muddling around beneath the 0 line (in negative territory). This spike has come from a yearly high and has been one relentless move down. But so far the indices haven’t matched the ferocity of this downspike.
Monday is 6-10 or 61??? Possibly the 6-25, that has accompanied some of the most notorious fake prints of the past.
But there are some better dates beyond Monday. It looks like one less assuming date will feature the heavy action in contrast to the star date of the week.
Daily charts are only day’2 UP. There is plenty of upside viable next week
I do agree, significant downside is coming – certainly stronger than this moderate 1687/1598 wave, but it will probably be from much higher levels, perhaps the sp’1730/40 area by late July..and then down to 1550 Aug/Sept.

anyway, have a good weekend!
Officially the bull flag has been fulfilled. However, this move up into the close doesn’t meet the typical move up from a cup and handle pattern. So, it seems likely that they will go higher on Monday just looking at the patterns… so why does my gut tell me this is about all the upside we are going to get? Anyway, at this point I’m expecting at least a small pop up on Monday, if not a rally to 1660 spx, but I’m not playing this long trade as I just don’t trust it.
This bull flag in the making should play out Monday morning or into the close, but a failure to play out would be very bearish. Most bull flags do play out (I’d guess that 90% play out) but how high they go can be only 1 point or 20 points… there’s no set upside for a bull flag.
Meaning that we could fulfill the bull flag at any point today with a simple 1-2 point pop before the close. Then Monday will be anyone’s guess. Now the other pattern we see here is a “cup and handle” with the possible future pattern of an “inverted head and shoulders”.
The C&H could produce a rally to that 1660 zone, or we could drop back into the channel to form the right shoulder of the In-H&S pattern. My thoughts are that “if” they fall back into the channel today they won’t stop in the 1615-1625 zone to make the bottom of that right shoulder but will instead continue down to take out 1600 support level.
My thoughts are that we’ll fall back into the channel to make everyone guess about Monday over the weekend. Then simply open down a little on Monday and slowly continue down so as to not panic the bulls out or get the bears excited. But by next Thursday/Friday I think we’ll see the real low from this whole move down at 1687.

hey red, I think you’re over-thinking it a bit.
Daily charts are only day’2 UP. There is plenty of upside viable next week
