the gorillas buy and sell on balance. 1200 is their last even point. When market touches 1200, they will have booked millions and start the whole cycle all over again.
I'm considering wave's comments. Break out the longer term charts, look at qtr's, draw trends, the area makes sense. Strict day traders may not care so much, understandable. Disclaimer, I'm a noob, so ignore this.
I definitely think Wave's comment makes sense, and I'm considering it as well. He's one of the more reasonable-sounding minds on this journal. However, you have to keep in mind that the same was said for the Nasdaq @ 2100. 2100 is S&P's 1200....I definitely remembered Carter Worth (Analyst @ Oppenheimer) giving the same reasoning for a correction on the Nasdaq. Momentum simply just overshadowed that reasoning. So be careful. Keep in mind that I'm offering you this caution because you mentioned that you're a noob.
wave has made some very good calls over the past few months. appreciate your commentary. rock is right about long term charts. if it can go there, it prob will. i wouldnt mind a h&s to play out first tho...
