ok, you should have told us only chief technical analysts are allowed in here ;-)
Ok then let me ask you a question. Why should the market respect your holy grail 200period MA? And why the 50, why the 20, why the 5. Why not the 250, the 40, the 17, the 3? And why the simple MA, why not EMA or WMA. Get my point? I claim you did not form your call merely by looking at technicals but also through other factors. And also you can see time and again that the market clearly does not respect any specific period MA, at least not repeatedly. Dont believe me? Well then run some backtests and you will see.
Even your latest chart clearly shows the market could not care less about your MA setup. So, maybe I could also ask what your point actually is?

Quote from swtrader:
boy, you're jumping to conclusions
who said anything about taking no long side bets? In ANY market, up or down, there will be long and short positions during the week
like i said earlier in this thread, it's a parlor game - on why that was or wasnt the top
it was an invitation to post technical analysis of people's opinions on this particular point in time
some people dont believe in doing that sort of thing and to those people I say YOU DONT HAVE TO COME HERE AND TELL US THAT! WE ALREADY UNDERSTAND THAT MANY PEOPLE FEEL THAT WAY! SIMPLY IGNORING THE THREAD WILL DO!
(I feel like a dispatcher in a town with a car accident and 3 cop cars already on the scene explaining to the 90th dumshit calling in on his cell phone that it's already been reported)
