12pm update - bull flag growing

Market seems content to trade flat today, and that will help make for a nice bull flag to take into next week.

Summary

Not much to add. It does look like a bull flag is developing on the hourly cycle, that could take all of Monday to complete.

I would find it hard to imagine the market breaking over 1450 next week, even if the Bernanke launched an open-ended QE - which I don't believe he will.

Regardless, no point shorting here, not least in options, which will decay across the weekend.
