A place where a skillful caddy always offers cool contemplation when it comes to your "stick" selection
Can we hit the wall of this creditcane already.
SPXSpinning top day (body too large for doji). Working off overbought or prepping for crash? 1078.87 (fibo 1.618 from low) is still waiting for retest. Closed above the 21 SMA and above the 233 SMA. Midpoint now above 10EMA. Back above the trendline using 2010 lows & the 3/6/09-5/25/10 trendline. New high on daily 3LB (reversal now 1091.60). Not confirming the monthly 3LB reversal (it's a long month). QE2infinity.
DXYSpinning top day. Down move is looking tired. Midpoint below 10EMA. The 85.11 (fibo .1459) is still holding (91.80 is next). Back below the 76.4% retrace. New low on daily 3LB (reversal still 88.23).
VIXBearish short day (aka fake inverted hammer from 6/17/10). Midpoint below 10EMA. "Fear is here so don't get fooled on market pumps (still holds true)." Below the 55 SMA and below monthly 3LB mid. Daily 3LB reversal down (reversal is now 45.79). Not confirming the monthly 3LB reversal.
GOLDSpinning top day. Closed above previous high. Well above the 21 SMA. Midpoint above 10EMA. "To hell with fiat! Say it again! I'm gold and I'm proud!" (Gold's rally cry). New high on daily 3LB (reversal is 1240.80).
EURUSDDoji day (body < 5% of h-l range). Indecision (or scared of weekend surprises). Midpoint above the 10EMA. Back above the fibo .1855 at 1.2336. The test of the 1.1571 (the .236 fibo level) has been delayed (for now). Far below trendline (11/27/09-3/17/10). No daily 3LB changes (reversal is 1.1936).

GSSpinning top day. Still below the 21 SMA. Midpoint now above the 10EMA. No rest for the wicked. Still no test of the 2.058 fibo (using low) of 144.98. Still wants to test the 1.618 fibo (using low) of 124.12. No daily 3LB changes (reversal still 144.95).
AAPLBullish short day. Trading above all SMA's. New high on daily 3LB (reversal is 235.86). Also had a daily 3LB reversal up on 6/17/10.

Thank you AmenRa for the charts and update.
Thank you Chicago for sending such a shitty thunderstorm my way so I don't have to cut the grass tonight.
Thank you traders-anonymous for being such good and insightful company.
Wow, I just found three things to be thankful for on a shitty day :)

Don't feel bad. That storm uprooted trees all over the city. Winds were 60-70 mph. Very unusual. But I've been telling others that the thunder has been deeper and louder this year. So there is a change somewhere up there.
Bears are disappearing again - that is what I am thankful for.
McHappy there is a good post at ZH about the switch in EUR
The biggest short covering ever ... overall positioning has gone from highest short positions ever to net long. A lot of bears shaken out of EUR
mcHAPPY
Not disappearing but deciding to hibernate a little longer.

I wonder if they are right about this hurricane season being particularly bad and the Gulf of Mexico. That would be terrible.
Wasn't it the PM of Greece that said speculators would be sorry?

There is no way to know how far that oil will carry in a hurricane. East coast? Midwest? NYC?
Yeah he did. Unfortunately I think the squids of this world made out like bandits downgrading it and forecasting 115 just as the rally began. Fading Goldman FX calls is one of the most profitable strategies ever.
All we need now is Goldman to say buy Gold ...
@Ra
The truest of the bears are surely hibernating - or licking their wounds. But the price action and the steady grind higher is making the fickle folk believe this is a typical recovery once again after a serious scare.
I'm starting to notice a good sign for tops and bottoms is MarketWatch. When they discount the possibility of a downside (which they have not yet) it is one good indicator of a top at hand. WHen they act/write headlines that imply stocks are up because that is what they are suppose to do (i.e. tonight's "Another week up for stocks") we are getting closer.
It is looking that max pain for any foolish bear such as myself is going to have to set in with 1150. Hopefully I can avail of these lessons in intermediate 3 of P3.
2's are a bitch - and there is no doubt we are in a 2. Ready for the 3.

At least a bear/bull is not stolen.
