Finally a Move

Well today the market woke up. We rolled off of the 127.00 resistance. I will look in the morning for trades that are trending down with the market. I am expecting the market to move down to the 115.00 area.

127.50 is Holding Still

The EUR/USD trade is still the major chart affecting the market. We will see if the support holds. The SPY is still checking the 127.50 resistance. One of the post I read http://slopeofhope.com/2011/12/is-a-top-near.html#more talked about the major banks are pushing the markets in after hours. This is an inexpensive way for them to get the market to chase. I am curios if these guys can hold this market up. I feel as though they are losing. We shall see.

Downward Channel Resistance

It looks like we are going to test the 127 area on the SPY. I suspect it will go to this area and stall. I don’t see the energy to push through. We have had a pretty good move upward to even get to this area. I am in cash waiting for this area to work itself out.

Still Waiting

http://news.yahoo.com/stock-futures-gain-ahead-key-jobs-report-094334471.html ECB has moved the pre-market. I expected to wake up and see the market flat again today. Well I was off. As far as the market goes I am waiting to see if the down trend continues. Right now we are at the top of the downward channel. I did look at a few stocks this morning. Most of the formations I looked at looked good but the risk is too high. I want the set up to show a 2:1 return. the best one I found is VXX showing a 1.4:1. So I am waiting to see how this plays out.

Wait and See Mode

I looked at over 50 stocks this morning that have broken there various patterns. I do not like any of them. So I am going to sit and wait. I am looking for the next move to set up. The SPY blew through the $121.00 and the $124.00 levels yesterday.
