Well, in 2 instances I looked at the markets actually rallied presumably from the open and in the 2000 case up to the lower BB so maybe no monster MMM miss. (attempt at a reverse jinx). Tomorrow===1-30-14 or 27???

After perusing the chatter on the blogosphere, it seems that the posters—-errr–the bears—-errr—the trolls have universally gotten out of their shorts today. Everyone is looking for a rally apparently over the next two days including the best tell, astro-energy dude.

MMM reports before the bell. Its earnings might provoke a nice reaction. Fellow Dow stalwart, Boeing, got taken apart today. Interesting that I haven’t seen anyone mention MMM but I see a flood of calls on QCOM and FB.

It won’t take much to get the Dow and SP below its December lows. The retail stocks have already dropped below their December lows. Once that gets taken out, a waterfall decline should unfold quite quickly. I don’t know where DeMark gets SP 1752 as his trigger, the December lows should be a pretty simple waypoint.

The European markets had the sweetest looking reversals today ala a similar time double 6 years ago although they finished off their lows. The Nikkei currently is putting in an impressive reversal as well.

As for the 2000 model, the Nasdaq and Russell 2000 both closed below their 50 day averages and lower BBs just as they did back then. A certain component of a certain little indicator also finished in a similar position.

I am still leaning bullish for the short term, but if they lose 1770 SPX by the close today the market will drop like a rock. But if they hold the line they should bounce for several days. The weekly chart needs to hold 1768 by the close on Friday. So if they are going to stay above that they better not let it collapse here. This is the line in the sand Geccko… lose it and the bears win!

The operators are good. They had me fooled. Of course, I thought there would be a Fed statement today which I didn’t find out about until just before the open. I was so worried about their usual Fed release shenanigans. That’s ok. Everythings back on the timeline which wouldn’t have been the case if there was a rally today.

Russell 2000 did what the Nasdaq should have done yesterday.

Nasdaq version of a certain component rallied to -36 back in 2000 on its equivalent day from that year. Yesterday, it popped to -41….

Then go short and lose your shirt. Odds favor a nice move up from here. I don’t know the future and no one does. I can only go with the odds.

blah blah blah. Does anyone else see the pattern here? Has this site ever been right with any market call? Ever?

Since we have been selling off for a week now in front of the announcement of the Fed tapering another $10 Billion (which they just did with the FOMC minutes being released) you have to ask yourself if we have “sold the rumor and will buy the news” just like they do with stocks?

You know they love to “buy the rumor” (of expected good earnings) on some stock a week or so before they announce them. Then once they turn out to be good (as expected) they “sell the news”. Only this time I think the opposite is happening and we are about to start a rally up to at least that 1810 area for starters. They are holding the market up right now above the Monday low of 1772 SPX and that’s a “tell-tale” sign that they are luring in bears before a squeeze.
