    ...everthing sweet and the SPX continues its rally from Mon *1029 Low as epected but -upticks remain corrective- as the Trin dodgedly refused to move out of neutral into bullish territory throughout the session for now; on the other hand, uptick buying power is apparent and daily New Highs are slowly building -someone is either buying carefully without driving the market into a frenzy or institutions are carefully allowing the retail investor to drive the market higher and stealhlike selling into the rally- take a look at today's volume divergence
    ...as a consequence, the current advance could still be part of an oversold corrective bounce to challenge the Oct 29 High *1067 or the Oct 22 Low *1074 or given the current momentum, the Oct 26 Congestion *1084 in the next 24 hours before topping out; please note that the test in the Core Holdings is still continuing as it appears that institutions wait for tomorrows unemployment data;
    ...failure near or below *1067/*1084 tomorrow should trigger a much more aggressive sell-off over the next few weeks with the Oct 02 Low *1020 as an initial target; taking out *1020 on a Close basis should accelerate losses toward the Jun High *956 initially with potential to retest the Jul Low *869 before year-end
    ...initiating a short position at *1084 -to cover downside risk on equity exposure for now- but if *1084 is taken out, the market most likely will take on the Oct 21 High *1101 with potential for a new recovery High target SPX 500 *1230

    ...the bounce in the SPX 500over the last three days was characterized by contracting NYSE volume; holding a long position in the 'High Risk Zone'
    would have netted approx. 10 points (buy *1034/*1035)
    ...market action turned south and closed below the 50-day MA and the primary March uptrend line to end the session on a bearish note; risk lingers, that the short term bounce could already have topped today; 'High Risk Zone' uncertainty

    Market Commentary -data point 05 November 2009-

    Eric Sprott & David Franklin: Surreality Check -Dead Government Walking- http://www.marketfolly.com/2009/11/d...edge-fund.html ...The equity market performance in November 2007 masked the underlying problems plaguing the financial system at the time, and it’s blindingly apparent that it is doing the same again today. The government has assumed most of the financial system’s liabilities in a giant game of ‘kick the can’. The calls for a new bull market are coming fast and furious. Market participants are bidding up the stocks of companies that are demonstrably bankrupt, and government balance sheets have ballooned to unforeseen levels. As respected market commentator David Rosenberg recently wrote, “the stock market is divorced from economic reality”.1 It’s time for another surreality check, but this time it isn’t the publicly traded companies that deserve attention, it’s the governments that have saved them. Make no mistake – the dead men are still walking – they’re just a lot bigger now than they were two years ago, and they don’t generate earnings – they print money and tax their citizens

    David Rosenberg (Gluskin/Sheff): GOLD-ilocks https://ems.gluskinsheff.net/Article...ave_110509.pdf
    ...For the first time in a long time, we are thinking about that prospect described above — not that inflation is an immeditate threat but, at the margin, it could surprise us earlier rather than later. So, it may not be a bad idea to look at hedges from all sources — expanding the exposure to gold and commodities, and even TIPS and real return bonds that offer what gold does not — an income stream. Just a thought

    ...quick update today:

    ...following the non-farm data, the SPX 500 trades mixed in a bearish environment where decliners comfortably outpace advancers and uptick buying power not worth to talk about so far
    ...anything else as far as supports/resistance views concerned very much the same like yesterday apart from the fact that says 'short cover' initiated during today's session

    SPX 500 analysis:

    ...for the last five trading days, SPX 500 volume declining steadily, an indication of selling into the rally and the current advance having the hallmark of a Counter Push to possibly test the *1084 gap -hourly- potential for *1101 test
    ...take out any of those pivot points on ascending volume, absolutely needed to talk about an advance to a new recovery high

    ...the daily SPX 500 A/D Line testing short term down trend line

    ...VIX dailyback below primary down trend line indicating positive short term market sentiment

    ...again the developing H/S pattern still working its way to conclusion

    Kind Regards

    Looks like 3 drives to a top, or H&S

    Logic ...Bull trends in recovery cycles...mostly get bull market corrections (up to 20% retrace).
    ...........Bull trends in recovery cycles..reverse to continuation of primary bear..25+% retrace...rare...(below 880)
    ...........Rare to have only one bull market correction within a cyclic bull market cycle.
    ...........Extremely rare to have a Cyclic Bear market rally of over 50%.
    -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
    On chart below ignore the zigzag 8% retracement...I used this chart from a previous project and has no relevance to this analysis.
    Zigzag using Elliott wave count and Fibonacci/Dow Theory retracement points are principals which should be included in forecasting analysis when a change in trends emerges...however using 8% in the below chart would in this case be erroneous. They make good trend lines though for this post
    Note: In this post these principals are not included.
    -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------.
    .
    Arco suggested a possible H&S formation ... At this moment this formation is not known yet.

    The last H&S formation occurred May to Mid July 2009 and created a mild but short bull market correction.

    Therefore using H&S principals/ S&R principals/ and trend principals only**.
    1100 If this point is reached and index goes higher, the H&S formation never existed and a continuation of the uniform upward trending zigzag pattern continues.
    1080 point to watch for establishment of possible H&S formation.
    1030/1040 point area to confirm a H&S formation.
    1000 A very strong support line..could see the end result from a H&S formation.
    980 Another support area.
    950 Area ..A bull market correction (15%) can reach this point If this point is broken and the retest is respected then the cyclic bull is questioned.
    880 S&R line the big primary line...If this line is broken and the retest is respected then this Cyclic bull market was never a cyclic bull but one gigantic record breaking mother of all bear market rallies and the cyclic bear of 2008 continues on.
    ** Principals used to observe a possible H&S formaton only.. To attempt a better forecast I suggest you use many more principals as well as these.

    ...market internals show extreme bullish sentiment for the fourth trading hour now and as a result, the SPX 500 surged to intraday High *1087 and closed the hourly *1084 gap; after penetrating *1084; the index appears capable of testing the October 21 Peak *1101 with potential to surge to *1122 for a test of the 2007/2008 primary downtrend line
    ...bearing in mind the continuous bearish divergences in momentum, volume, and strength and the fact, the SPX 500 as well as the Nasdaq are lagging the advance behind the Dow for the first time since the March Low, it pays to remain cautious until the market resolves to the up-side, especially if hedged to protect equity exposure, as these facts could be warnings of a potential imminent reversal between *1101/*1122,
    …failure below this range will drive the market to the October Low *1020 initially

    Hoop quote..."1080 point to watch for establishment of possible H&S formation."

    As I write the S&P500 is 1090 up 21. The S&P500 as broken through the 1080 resistance level.

    ..Arco's suggestion of a bearish H&S pattern forming is a goneburger.

    ...the NYSE Trin showed 0.28, indicating extreme bullish sentiment butvolume remains tepid for such an advance; however, if there is a large degree of consensus about market direction, advances are possible with no particular huge volume spikes;

    ...anyway, my equity investment will enjoy days like that but as far as the hedge is concerned, I need to see 'Follow Ttrough' on a Closing Basis tomorrow to wipe out the possibility of a one day wonder before I go 'cash' again

    ...after today's advance, the market will most likely power ahead to chew up the SPX 500 *1122 level (= 50% Fibonacci) but that level needs to be confirmed after a break-out before I consider another SPX 500 bullish advance to *1230 initially -its that simple-

    ...SPX 500 Oct. 21 Peak *1101 still intact as the index stalled at intraday *1096 and appears to be heading for a quick affirmation of the Nov 9 Congestion between *1071/*1081 before another go higher to the *1101 Peak
    ...if the index manages to successfully stay above the Congestion level, the next advance should lead to athe expected *1101 test with potential to reach higher -*1109/*1122 comes to mind- but the break of the 2007/2009 retrace (50% Fibonacci) will be a tough nut to crack
    ...failure to go beyond the 2007/2009 Primary Bear Line will leave the current bull cycle on an unstable base and trigger a bearish down drag to test the Oct 2 Low *1020 initially
