  The trendline from the March lows was broken this week, but trendline breaks do not assure a reversal, they indicate a slowing of the trend. The SPY is still showing a weekly pattern of higher highs and higher lows. A break below the October low of 101.64 would create a lower low, but [...]

  After getting deeply oversold in the short term, the markets gave us a nice trend day higher and went on to exceed the targeted 106 level. With a declining 5DMA, it is difficult to trust rallies for more than a daytrade and this morning we are seeing some weakness as the SPY is currently [...]

  The 106 level failed to hold as support yesterday and that brought a move down through the 61.8% retracement level from the October range and also down through the rising 50 DMA. The SPY has two uptrend lines from different timeframes which are converging right near yesterday’s close and that makes it a level [...]

The market closing in on the rising 50 day MA which is current located at ~105.11 Yesterday’s weakness brought the SPY down to the 50% retracement (106.16) of the most recent leg higher and it [...]
