Its just another tease

With the market starting the week with the biggest daily declines since Dec'28th, a little bearish hysteria is returning. After all, the top is in now, right? We've been here so many times though, not least a mere five weeks ago. Oh how quickly the bears forget.


sp'60min4 - retracement fib levels

Summary

Lets be clear..

Near term weakness..but long term further gains into the late spring.

The fib' levels offer a possible floor, somewhere in the 1470/55 zone. The daily chart would also be strongly suggestive that we won't go below the 1450s.

The weekly chart offers a very clear 1-2 week down target - also in the 1450s.

The monthly chart offers initial support at the 10MA of 1460.

Bonus chart - USD, daily


Looks like the USD will rally for a few days at least. I don't think we'll be breaking much above 81.00. So, at the current rate, we are a mere 2 or 3 days away from maxing out.

I have to think that the bears will be lucky just to see the 1460s in this down cycle. There will be a LOT of people who missed the ramp from 1398>1514, who are no doubt looking to get on board this POMO fuelled freight train.

I am short...and indeed looking for an exit later this week (preferably with VIX 17/18) and then look to go heavy long into the spring. A very valid target will be a trade from sp'1460, with an exit around 1550/70 by early April.

Goodnight from London
