2pm update - a few thoughts..into June/July

Whilst the market remains stuck at sp'1320..for what is starting to feel like months, I'm already looking ahead to next week...and even further out.


Sp monthly.. the giant H/S theory


I'm still inclined to this outlook, which is something a few out there are also looking at - although they are not assuming some of the sub-issues that I am.

The main sub-issue being that if this is a RS, then why would it not act in the same style as a LS would? Why not? Hey, I'm no Elliot maniac/disciple, and I sure don't intend to read any of those E-books, but its been working out so far. We have a clear rollover on the monthly, this market IS headed down.

This outlook would assume a further move lower next week (see daily chart in previous posting), and then a 2-3 week bounce - concluding no later than mid-June. Then a final move down to that really important ascending channel/wedge line of sp'1100. I suppose we don't have to get that low, but that would be the 'natural' target.....at which point the Bernanke appears.

VIX'60min






Certainly, the price action for the VIX is not bullish right now, but the cycle is pretty much exhausted to the downside. Considering its a Friday, I think the VIX is holding up very well. Its still possible we have a moderately higher VIX close, anything above the 10MA, around 22.25 would make for a reasonable close for those holding short across the long weekend.
