Until we get to that 118.17 print! We shall see. McClellan showing we go south now (since we clearly crossed the 0 line). But perhaps they bring it to a triple top after we reach the oversold levels on the $NYMO. http://stockcharts.com/h-sc/ui?s=$nymo
My first reply to this was eaten by Disqus, which is really unfortunate because the context in the markets were very different than now.
I do appreciate the longer term view on these correlations, and I understand the caveats — the market never cares what wave we're in or what this-or-that indicator says.
Like any trader, I'm looking for an edge. I will examine any theory or indicator that seems to work.
See item #4. Stock market averages must confirm one another, and transports are the example given.
Was Dow Theory designed to be used in a short time frame like I'm using it? I doubt it. Did it work in January, anyway? Yes. Could IYT rocket to a new high tomorrow? Sure. But … IYT was scoffing at the strong move today, and looks to be pointing downward.
Disclaimer: short via my (very small) trading account, 33% long in my retirement account.
I'm not going out on a limb and saying that “the top” was put in today… but it's highly likely. Of course it might not be the final top, as I suspect we churn higher into the summer months.
If this wasn't the short term top… we are within sneezing distance now.
TZA opened down 2.7%. Gap was filled, as was yesterday’s gap ($6.82 to $6.84). TZA was up 2.0% at the high, and closed up 1.7%.
We are in a New Moon Trade, which favors TZA. Following AmericanBulls guidelines, this trade bought TZA today at yesterday’s closing price ($7.04). After eight days, this trade is down 2.4%, and owns TZA over night.
Volume for TZA was fairly high overall, and the highest volume for an up day in 34 days. Good for TZA.
$RVX (VIX for $RUT) was up 6.0% yesterday and closed up 6.8% today with TZA up 1.7%. No divergence.
TZA has now been up 6 of the last 10 days — chop.
The low for TZA today was $6.70, the lowest TZA price since the birth of George Washington. Not good for TZA.
Ultimate Oscillator for TZA bottomed at 20 twenty three trading days ago and has generally risen since then but has remained below 50 for twenty two days and finally broke above 50 (50.152). Indicating the end of weakness for TZA. Was up 11 points today. Rather fantastic for TZA.
MACD on the monthly chart crossed over upwards slightly (0.009) yesterday, and is at 0.034 today. This last happened 2 months ago. Rather fantastic for TZA.
Bollinger Bands for $RVX (VIX for $RUT): today’s huge white candle rose above the congestion area and closed above the Top Bollinger Band. MACD has crossed from below and is rising. Looks like $RVX will be falling. The last time $RVX closed above the Top Bollinger Band, $RUT fell for 10 days. Good for TZA.
Bollinger Bands for $RUT: The black candle for $RUT fell back into a congestion area. The top Bollinger band is falling, and $RUT seems to have returned to a topping formation. MACD crossed down today. Good for TZA.
Bollinger Bands for $RUT:$RVX ($RUT vs VIX for $RUT): today’s black candle fell far below the congestion area. The upper Bollinger Band is falling. Looks like a confirming that the topping process is completing. Good for TZA.
TZA had a higher high, lower low and higher close – very good for TZA.
Money flow for the Total Stock Market was $365 million flowing out of the market on an down day. Generally good for TZA.
I will post the AmericanBulls candlestick interpretation a bit later.

Oh great, that means we go higher again! When will they stop with the fake prints?!
At the time I wrote that, DRV was at 8.05 ish. Luckily for me, it went up about 5.5% since.
LOL… the operators always give me a good laugh
the sacrifice ritual is next SUN-day

LOL… I actually show 118.1666 spy for the high. Cute huh?
for those with eagle eyes will notice the operator stopped GS .02 shy of it's 1/7/10 high today, it's sequence of lower highs remains unbroken
what are you showing for the HOD on SPY?
I've got 118.17, but the high trade was 118.10
