    August 09,2013 index analysis: The indices make a pause day (dow) or a small uptick (spx, comp). This removes some of the bearishness and makes the overall pattern a little more sideways. My main indicator here of the uptrend being intact is if prices do not close decisively below the 20MA...

    Plan for the day: index analysis: Indices still within a range, although IBD notes that the SP500 had its 3rd distribution day since July 11. The Fed will probably be the day that the indices make an upmove or downmove from here. At the moment though, this is still an uptrend and I would...
