since sept 09 we've stayed between 1000 and 1230,that gap is 1240 area tops....we've double topped the 1225-30 area and are staying up, the x nip is 1070 area ,we should move back to it,the problem with trying to short up here is the trans took out its apr highs and is staying up there, the longer term prophet chart on the spx has room for the 1250 area as a high,dollar rallying has stopped pushing the dow lower,the print and save the economy mantra ,akin to the king has no clothes story is presently still fooling most of the people ,most of the time,hats off to the greatest wall street sales job in trading history...until things get back in line,best to trade sparingly
