[Message] fib_1618 -> Chat: and that should be enough to have new all time highs again in the NYAD line 2012-10-17 16:04:24 [Message] fib_1618 -> Chat: let me check 2012-10-17 16:04:47 [Message]

-> Chat: maybe the market was teasing us all last week...we'll see 2012-10-17 16:06:49 [Message] fib_1618 -> Chat: OK...let me get DP up and we'll get started 2012-10-17 16:07:10 [Message] fib_1618 -> Chat: the CO NYSE breadth MCO continued sharply higher today 2012-10-17 16:07:37 [Message] fib_1618 -> Chat: and what looked like a ledge formation on the CO NYSE breadth MCSUM has now turned into a hook 2012-10-17 16:07:39 [Message] fib_1618 -> Chat: now... 2012-10-17 16:07:56 [Message] fib_1618 -> Chat: what we don't know is that if it's a bullish turn or just a fishhook 2012-10-17 16:08:13 [Message] fib_1618 -> Chat: if it's the later, like the ledge formation, it shouldn't last longer than 3-4 trading days 2012-10-17 16:09:06 [Message] fib_1618 -> Chat: so it will be interesting to see what happens tomorrow as we start to challenge the +250 level 2012-10-17 16:09:13 [Message] fib_1618 -> Chat: for the bears 2012-10-17 16:09:18 [Message] fib_1618 -> Chat: they want to see a failure 2012-10-17 16:09:28 [Message] fib_1618 -> Chat: for the bulls...move up and through +250 2012-10-17 16:09:50 [Message] fib_1618 -> Chat: the composite NYSE breadth MCO also got better today 2012-10-17 16:10:03 [Message] fib_1618 -> Chat: as we have not only taken out the previous highs now 2012-10-17 16:10:20 [Message] fib_1618 -> Chat: but the MCO components have also moved to higher highs as well 2012-10-17 16:10:42 [Message] fib_1618 -> Chat: this now reduces the probabilities that a tradable top is forming 2012-10-17 16:11:10 [Message] fib_1618 -> Chat: especially since the NYSE breadth MCSUM remains above the important +500 level with a +562 reading today 2012-10-17 16:11:21 [Message] fib_1618 -> Chat: until +500 is taken out to the downside 2012-10-17 16:11:35 [Message] fib_1618 -> Chat: the market advantage remains with the bulls 2012-10-17 16:12:05 [Message] fib_1618 -> Chat: the NYA had a nice day when the Dow was being weighed down by IBM 2012-10-17 16:12:42 [Message] fib_1618 -> Chat: and has now pretty much met the upside objective we were looking for from yesterday's analysis of the 8500 level 2012-10-17 16:12:52 [Message] fib_1618 -> Chat: in fact 2012-10-17 16:13:03 [Message] fib_1618 -> Chat: this maybe a new recovery closing high today...let me check 2012-10-17 16:13:44 [Message] fib_1618 -> Chat: nope...missed by 12 points 2012-10-17 16:14:02 [Message] fib_1618 -> Chat: intraday as well we missed 2012-10-17 16:14:18 [Message] fib_1618 -> Chat: but good enough to fulfill our bounce objective 2012-10-17 16:14:26 [Message] fib_1618 -> Chat: and now we wait for further information 2012-10-17 16:14:38 [Message] fib_1618 -> Chat: nice day so far 2012-10-17 16:14:47 [Message] fib_1618 -> Chat: the NASDAQ breadth MCO also moved above its zero line today 2012-10-17 16:14:54 [Message] fib_1618 -> Chat: as well as taking out its previous highs 2012-10-17 16:15:18 [Message] fib_1618 -> Chat: so we got what we needed to see for any chance of re-initiating the uptrend 2012-10-17 16:15:43 [Message] fib_1618 -> Chat: now if the NASDAQ breadth MCO can take out its blip resistance 2012-10-17 16:15:55 [Message] fib_1618 -> Chat: then a challenge of the recovery highs would then be very doable 2012-10-17 16:16:18 [Message] fib_1618 -> Chat: and that's 80 points away on a closing basis 2012-10-17 16:16:48 [Message] fib_1618 -> Chat: we also got a crossover buy signal today on the NASDAQ breadth MCO components 2012-10-17 16:16:57 [Message] fib_1618 -> Chat: so this is not the time to play the bearish hero 2012-10-17 16:17:16 [Message] thespookyone -> Chat: why have the 5 and 10's lagged these moves? 2012-10-17 16:17:27 [Message] fib_1618 -> Chat: especially since all this near term support is coming in near the zero line on the NASDAQ breadth MCSUM 2012-10-17 16:17:59 [Message] fib_1618 -> Chat: where we have fully relieved any "overbought" condition that may had seen in September 2012-10-17 16:18:12 [Message] fib_1618 -> Chat: and now one side can take advantage 2012-10-17 16:18:27 [Message] fib_1618 -> Chat: a little more push by the buyers tomorrow and we'll have to fully revisit our anticipated top idea for this time period 2012-10-17 16:18:50 [Message] fib_1618 -> Chat: the 5's and 10's are lagging in some cases because the uptrend is mature and showing a lack of breadth capacity as a long distance runner would when running a marathon 2012-10-17 16:19:15 [Message] fib_1618 -> Chat: small point change on the NDX breadth MCO 2012-10-17 16:19:20 [Message] fib_1618 -> Chat: and kind of disappointing 2012-10-17 16:20:06 [Message] fib_1618 -> Chat: as it would had been nice for the bullish argument if this MCO did move to new highs today along with the new highs in the composite NYSE and NASDAQ 2012-10-17 16:20:49 [Message] fib_1618 -> Chat: this lack of follow through then keeps the bearish expectation of only a snapback in progress to the -250 level on the NDX breadth MCSUM still on the front burner 2012-10-17 16:21:14 [Message] fib_1618 -> Chat: good follow through as well with the SPX breadth MCO today 2012-10-17 16:21:36 [Message] fib_1618 -> Chat: and we're now 4 points from moving to new recovery highs on the index 2012-10-17 16:22:04 [Message] fib_1618 -> Chat: and remember 2012-10-17 16:22:17 [Message] fib_1618 -> Chat: in order to break out of this trading range formation to the upside 2012-10-17 16:22:40 [Message] fib_1618 -> Chat: the SPX breadth MCSUM will need to take out the early October highs at the +250 level 2012-10-17 16:22:46 [Message] fib_1618 -> Chat: so still some work to do by the bulls 2012-10-17 16:22:55 [Message] fib_1618 -> Chat: and here we are only 2 days now from OPEX 2012-10-17 16:23:29 [Message] fib_1618 -> Chat: it would then seem plausible that if there were to be a "reversal of fortunes" for the bulls it could happen by Friday 2012-10-17 16:23:35 [Message] fib_1618 -> Chat: and as soon as tomorrow 2012-10-17 16:23:52 [Message] fib_1618 -> Chat: so the key here again is what the internals are telling us 2012-10-17 16:23:54 [Message] fib_1618 -> Chat: not price 2012-10-17 16:24:00 [Message] fib_1618 -> Chat: for many 2012-10-17 16:24:07 [Message] fib_1618 -> Chat: if we move to new closing highs here 2012-10-17 16:24:18 [Message] fib_1618 -> Chat: many bears are going to throw in the towel again 2012-10-17 16:24:26 [Message] fib_1618 -> Chat: and once these unwilling sellers commit 2012-10-17 16:24:32 [Message] fib_1618 -> Chat: the market is likely to go lower 2012-10-17 16:24:35 [Message] fib_1618 -> Chat: UNLESS 2012-10-17 16:24:47 [Message] fib_1618 -> Chat: we get internal confirmation of these same new highs 2012-10-17 16:25:02 [Message] fib_1618 -> Chat: like the early October highs on the SPX breadth MCSUM for example 2012-10-17 16:25:15 [Message] fib_1618 -> Chat: very good day for the bulls 2012-10-17 16:25:24 [Message] fib_1618 -> Chat: the OEX joined the SPX to new highs on the breadth MCO 2012-10-17 16:25:46 [Message] fib_1618 -> Chat: and we got additional confirmation on the OEX MCO components as well 2012-10-17 16:25:58 [Message] fib_1618 -> Chat: wow 2012-10-17 16:26:08 [Message] fib_1618 -> Chat: even the Dow breadth MCO had a great day in spite of IBM 2012-10-17 16:26:24 [Message] fib_1618 -> Chat: true, we haven't as yet moved to higher MCO highs yet 2012-10-17 16:26:38 [Message] fib_1618 -> Chat: but we are challenging them now where yesterday we were still at the zero line 2012-10-17 16:26:51 [Message] fib_1618 -> Chat: and check the Dow breadth MCSUM... 2012-10-17 16:27:18 [Message] fib_1618 -> Chat: finding support - once again - at a natural 250 incremental support area 2012-10-17 16:28:08 [Message] fib_1618 -> Chat: the Dow is now only 53 points away from new recovery highs 2012-10-17 16:28:19 [Message] fib_1618 -> Chat: we could sneeze and get there now 2012-10-17 16:28:45 [Message] fib_1618 -> Chat: continued good strength as well on the MID breadth MCO 2012-10-17 16:29:03 [Message] fib_1618 -> Chat: and now we're at the area of our upside targets for this bounce from last week 2012-10-17 16:29:27 [Message] fib_1618 -> Chat: and since we closed higher than the comparative bar 2012-10-17 16:29:42 [Message] fib_1618 -> Chat: it's a better then even chance that we're also going to close above the 1005 price level as well 2012-10-17 16:30:11 [Message] fib_1618 -> Chat: the bears need to be very careful here in not getting too cocky 2012-10-17 16:30:39 [Message] fib_1618 -> Chat: as we're now getting indications that last week was just another one of those pauses to shake the tree of weak hands 2012-10-17 16:30:40 [Message] fib_1618 -> Chat: no less 2012-10-17 16:30:54 [Message] fib_1618 -> Chat: give the bears something to

anticipate that the next opportunity for a tradable top will now be extended into next week 2012-10-17 16:38:13 [Message] fib_1618 -> Chat: but if we continue to show improvement near term 2012-10-17 16:38:36 [Message] fib_1618 -> Chat: and in this we are looking for increasing gap expansion to the upside in the various MCSUM's 2012-10-17 16:38:55 [Message] fib_1618 -> Chat: then we'll may be in a position to go shopping long again 2012-10-17 16:39:16 [Message] fib_1618 -> Chat: the stocks that I watch have been performing well above my expectations on this 3 day bounce 2012-10-17 16:39:24

2012-10-17 16:40:02 [Message] fib_1618 -> Chat: especially if the volume McClellan's are moving in sync here...so let's go there next 2012-10-17 16:40:28 [Message] fib_1618 -> Chat: the CO NYSE volume MCO also moved to new highs above its zero line today 2012-10-17 16:40:35 [Message] fib_1618 -> Chat: so we have confirmation there 2012-10-17 16:41:02 [Message] fib_1618 -> Chat: with a further move above that small little blip we see on the chart sealing the deal for the bulls 2012-10-17 16:41:24 [Message] fib_1618 -> Chat: notice how the CO NYSE volume MCSUM is also showing a turn...once

shuttle lifts off 2012-10-17 16:45:13 [Message] fib_1618 -> Chat: so not having prices at new highs as yet is pretty normal here 2012-10-17 16:45:35 [Message] fib_1618 -> Chat: boy...sure seems like a successful snapback on the NYA chart now 2012-10-17 16:45:41 [Message] fib_1618 -> Chat: with a double test 2012-10-17 16:46:09 [Message] fib_1618 -> Chat: small point change on the NASDAQ volume MCO

and we're now about 4 weeks under the MCO zero line here 2012-10-17 16:47:36 [Message] fib_1618 -> Chat: getting interesting 2012-10-17 16:48:06 [Message] fib_1618 -> Chat: the NDX volume MCSUM is attempting to find support at the -500 level 2012-10-17 16:48:16 [Message] fib_1618 -> Chat: and the way the NDX volume MCO is structured here 2012-10-17 16:48:44 [Message] fib_1618 -> Chat: we could have a very large move to the upside since we would break above two previous tops in this area 2012-10-17 16:49:16 [Message] fib_1618 -> Chat: notice also that the 10% component of the NDX volume MCO did find resistance at its zero line today 2012-10-17 16:49:30 [Message] fib_1618 -> Chat: which was the technical expectation from yesterday if I remember correctly 2012-10-17 16:49:37 [Message] fib_1618 -> Chat: so now that's out of the way 2012-10-17 16:49:55 [Message] fib_1618 -> Chat: we can now technically move sharply above this same zero line 2012-10-17 16:50:21 [Message] fib_1618 ->

thespookyone -> Chat: is that a good expectation with both the MCO and components both pointing South? 2012-10-17 16:50:46 [Message] fib_1618 -> Chat: and all of this is happening near the SPX volume MCSUM's zero line 2012-10-17 16:51:02 [Message] fib_1618 -> Chat: on the NDX? 2012-10-17 16:51:09 [Message] thespookyone -> Chat: yes 2012-10-17 16:51:13 [Message] fib_1618 -> Chat: nope... 2012-10-17
