This swing up from 666 sp cash is filled with excellent price collpases running straight down to bullish support levels, just deep enough to scare the weak longs out and interest the crash dummies into shorting the next day or on the swing up and out of the collpases. Indeed, virtually this entire run has been built on those set-ups. What is notable again though, as was in the 90's trending bull market, is that the news plays an even more concrete roll. If the news is bad, it had been a complete giveaway to buy the price collapse. However, now the market faces a dilemna- the news is all good- the recession is over, China is back, housing are being bought and sold, construction spending is back up, Obama is thought to be the Messiah incarnate- but there's no bad news... must be a top- today or tomorrow shows intraday signs of distribution, the sp cash is extended (for the first time) into bull extension territory technically, and I went home short the first time in a long while loaded up nearly to the max. I wonder... can good news be the end?
