Many Bulls have turned Bearish! They're shorting on any negative news....lots of it lately.

Well, there's always the contrarian argument. When everyone and their grandmother says there won't be a Santa Rally, the odds of one increases.
There are several key areas where we could see a reversal. If it closes above 1450 today, that would be one of them. 1450 is a round number and a near perfect 61% retracement from November low to December high. Other possible areas are the gap around 1430 (a quick turnaround after it's filled), 1406-7 (closing low price for August and November) and yearly low around 1365-1375 (March and August).
There isn't much time to for stocks to run up, but as we've seen this year, rallies can make up a lot of lost ground fast with the current volatility.

'06 Wasn't anything to write home about, especially in the DOW. That rally came early in Nov.
Besides doesn't 7% in a week account for anything? Market clearly overextended into this week, coupled with year end....
Not bullish, but not overly bearish either, but right now even the bulls on the T.V. looked whipped. Usually a good sign. Remember, when it becomes a no-brainer, that's usually when the trade gets crushed.
Good Luck!

Actually, Santa rallies in recent years (2003-2006) have been limited, as fall rallies started as early as August. Indices were already around yearly highs in early December. Typically, stocks just drifted up a little more in the last few weeks of the year.
This year could see a stronger move up IF there's a reversal from this down move. It would give the big boys a chance to do the other half of their window dressing (they've had ample opportunity to do the selling part).
