Creditcane™: I'm having so much fun destroying the bulls and the bears this week.



SPX
Shooting star day (hair is at least 2x the body and it gapped higher). Midpoint above EMA(10). Back above the trendiness (3/6/09-7/1//10) and (2/5/10-5/6/10). Above the SMA(21), SMA(55), SMA(89). Tested and failed 1110.02 (the .09 fibo from high). No daily 3LB changes (reversal is 1051.87). QE2infinity.



DXY
Bearish short day. Still below the SMA(21). Midpoint below EMA(10). Still wants to head for its 50% retrace. No daily 3LB changes (reversal is 82.92).

"Shooting star" day...

I didn't think to do this before... But looking at that bearish harami on GOLD, it made me think to take a look at the MONTHLY 3lb scenario on gold...

It's hard to think, in this moment, that the 11/09 close wants very much to get reversed...

It's got my attention...

also on the VIX...

The last time the 10MA crossed over the 144MA was in early August...

At that point, the candles kind of flatlined for about a week... But the indices didn't do much, then finally gave way)...

I wonder if, sort of, the same thing might occur (being the RH-YK period)...

One SELL signal that I tend to lean on with equities is when the VIX pierces its WEEKLY BB's to the downside...

We're really not there yet on a WEEKLY basis, but the lower BB is moving up sharply, and if the VIX does another job like it did in August, we could be approaching that type of scenario by the end of this month...

It would appear that the bulls are attempting to not GORE the bears to death, but BORE them to death...

It's kind of working thus far...

"It's STAR time, it's STAR time"...

LOL - That was always a DJ sample that they used to cut into techno-rap songs in the 90's...

I'm gonna go try and find some examples (straight from the top of my dome - while I rock the microPHONE)...

now this is unconscionable-

A surprising number of Americans are unaware that Colonel Sanders was real. - CNBC

maybe he will become a myth like Robin Hood or the Knights of the Round Table-

and tonight's game- Favre- minimum 3 picks
