TLTexpanded fibonacci weekly range
Already tested its new 38.2% minor retrace (130.32)
TYX (30yr yield)expanded fibonacci on weekly chart
24.55 is the new 61.8% minor retrace so a 4.5% move down from here is still possible.
IT HAS BEGUN. YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED.

The ONLY reason market was flat was due to London being on holiday. Wait for Wednesday. Especially since Egan Jones downgraded UK to AA- from AA.
VXX lower than VIX. What gives? The next couple of months will not be as volatile? Sheeit.

Using Bollinger Bands with SMA(200) on SPX indicates a move to 1120ish (lower band).
Looking at my charts it took 42 days after failing the upper band to close below the MA. That would then estimate to 8/1/12 as the time the lower band should get tested. JTOL.

More from Hussman:
"One of the problems with QE here, however, is that it would essentially represent fiscal policy for the benefit of speculators, at taxpayer expense. To see this, note that the 10-year Treasury yield is now down to less than 1.5%. One wonders how Bernanke would be able to argue, with a straight face, that this is not low enough. Nevertheless, a 10-year bond has a duration of 8 years - meaning that each 100 basis point fluctuation in interest rates is associated with a change of about 8% in the price of the bond. So if you buy the bond and hold it for a full year, an interest rate change of of 1.5/8 = .1875, or less than 20 basis points, is enough to wipe out the annual interest and leave you with a negative total return.
So at this point, if the Fed buys Treasury bonds, it will predictably lose money - after interest - unless interest rates rise less than 20 basis points a year during the period that the Fed holds those bonds. Over the past year, the standard deviation of week-to-week changes in the 10-year Treasury yield has been about 13 basis points, so 20 bips over the course of a full year is nothing. Whether or not a speculator is willing to take a bet on lower yields, it's highly unlikely that the Fed could buy Treasury bonds here at a yield of 1.5% and ever expect to unload its portfolio later at even lower yields, because yields would shoot higher merely on the anticipation of Fed liquidation."
Shanghai Composite close down -64.89. China is blocking all searches. Why? Because 6/4/89 is the date for the Tiananmen Square protests.

Look at the hit/miss ratio chart on the right. 94% is the low. Not bad. S&P, Moody's and Fitch are taking notice.
Back from the hinterlands of Texas.
looking at the s&p futures...
I thot that was a decent looking doji yday...the action so far early this morning suggests otherwise....
That 1296 - 1300 area now looks like good "stop loss" are for both medium and near term shorts...
IOW, if we start trading above 1300, i'd be out of all shorts.
Neely still calling for a good bounce higher (new highs) at some point to complete his final wave up....i disagree with him, but well....he's Neely...so it must be considered.

"I thot that was a decent looking doji yday...the action so far early this morning suggests otherwise...."
Yes it was a doji BUT closed within the body of the prior candle which changes it from the 2nd day of a morning star (reversal) to a bullish thrusting (continuation of the current trend).
They are really really trying to keep this thing from imploding. DXY up, USTs down? EURUSD down, gold flat. WTI flat.
G7 a waste of time.
Spain to become a state of Germany (in theory).
Amazing what US markets will do when London is on holiday. 3AM tomorrow let the games begin.
Bloomberg kills me with their contradicting headlines:
European Stocks Rise on Speculation of Global Stimulus
followed by
Euro Weakens on Economy; S&P Futures Little Changed
ISM Non-Mfg
Employment 50.8 prior 54.2
New Orders/Inventories 0.991 prior 0.991 (no change)

Today is all about recovering the 200 day. NOTHING ELSE matters. A third close below would open the trap door.

Spain says credit markets closing its doors, G7 takes no action
(Reuters) - Spain said on Tuesday that credit markets were closing to the euro zone's fourth biggest economy as finance chiefs of the Group of Seven major economies conferred on the currency bloc's worsening debt crisis but took no joint action.
Treasury Minister Cristobal Montoro sent out a dramatic distress signal about the impact of his country's banking crisis on government borrowing, saying that at current rates, financial markets were effectively shut to Spain.
"The risk premium says Spain doesn't have the market door open," Montoro said on Onda Cero radio. "The risk premium says that as a state we have a problem in accessing markets, when we need to refinance our debt.
Spain is beset by bank debts triggered by the bursting of a real estate bubble in 2008, aggravated by overspending by its autonomous regions.
The premium investors demand to hold Spanish 10-year debt rather than safe haven German bonds hit a euro era high of 548 basis points on Friday, on concerns that it will eventually be forced to seek a Greek-style bailout.
Here Come Today's Rumors
What would a day be without recycling of tired and expired rumors out of Europe. Sure enough:
* EFSF PROVISIONAL CREDIT LINE COMPROMISE BETWEEN MADRID AND BERLIN
* EFSF is to prepare a credit line for Spain in the case of need - Dow Jones
* EFSF provisional credit line for Spain is one option according to a German newspaper
Ah, the good old EFSF, which was last summer's magical bailout mechanism which with 3-4 turns of leverage, would bring the total to €1 trillion... until the realization that there is nothing to lever, as nobody (except for Japan occasionally) wanted to put any money in it. Oh well: the rumor is good to get stocks into the green for at least a few minutes.
But at least we now know that Spain will be paying to bail out itself. Just wait until it is Italy's turn next.
Anyone get the feeling that there are more sell orders than buy orders when there is a break of the 200 day? As much as the market is trying to get back to that level it may just start an avalanche.
Ra,
Just keeping it simple:

French Experts Quit Over Greek Public Sector
The Greek public sector is a mess. That’s no news. But it seems that the Greek public sector is such a mess that it led seven high ranking French officials to quit their jobs focusing on the restructuring of the complicated and failing state apparatus.
For the past few months, the French team of experts visited Athens in order to update the controversial public sector of the country, which is one of the main targets set by the European task force within the country’s bailout program.
According to a Proto Thema report, under the guidance of Horst Reichenbach, the French team came to Athens and soon enough started implementing the European restructuring plan aiming at sanitizing the public sector of Greece. The team proceeded with evaluating the civil servants’ performance, reducing the controversial list of special payrolls, merging the some 1,500 autonomous state services and reducing public servants by 150,000 by 2015.
However, things did not run as smoothly as expected for the French technocrats who got lost in the endless labyrinth of the public sector.
Only a few months after coming to Greece, the seven French public servants decided to turn in their resignations and give up their privileged jobs, bonuses and high salaries and return to Paris after a fruitless attempt to reorganize the public service in Greece.
However, the high ranking team of experts was eventually convinced to reconsider their resignations and return to their jobs, since Paris, Berlin and Brussels did not want to leave the impression on the international community that they are abandoning Greece to its fate.
Now the question is whether the French technocrats manage to introduce the desired changes in the Greek public sector after the pending general elections of June 17.
Fist pumping all around as the bulls congratulate themselves on retaking the 200 day.
Day ain't over...
Missed it with a nice long bearish candle on the 5 minute chart.
