2012-12-12 16:01:12 [Message] MissD -> Chat: I guess everyone else forgot there was a chat today 2012-12-12 16:01:22 [Message] MissD -> Chat: or they are all out Christmas shopping 2012-12-12 16:02:31 [Message] fib_1618 -> Chat: OK...any questions or comments before we get started?? 2012-12-12 16:05:31 [Message] fib_1618 -> Chat: OK...let me get DP up and we'll get started 2012-12-12 16:06:00 [Message] fib_1618 -> Chat: the NYSE CO breadth MCO moved slightly lower today 2012-12-12 16:06:24 [Message] fib_1618 -> Chat: but remains above the last week or so's bottoming formation at the 2012-12-12 16:06:33 [Message] fib_1618 -> Chat: so no real technical damage at this time 2012-12-12 16:07:13 [Message] fib_1618 -> Chat: with today's +47 reading on the MCO, the NYSE CO breadth MCSUM continued to move higher 2012-12-12 16:07:20 [Message] fib_1618 -> Chat: and with today's follow through 2012-12-12 16:07:36 [Message] fib_1618 -> Chat: we're likely now to see our next area of resistance at the +500 level 2012-12-12 16:08:22 [Message] fib_1618 -> Chat: the NYSE composite breadth MCO also moved slightly lower today 2012-12-12 16:08:47 [Message] fib_1618 -> Chat: but it too remains above the bottoming pattern of the last week 2012-12-12 16:08:52 [Message] fib_1618 -> Chat: and as expected 2012-12-12 16:09:21 [Message] fib_1618 -> Chat: with the NYSE composite breadth MCSUM still below the +500 level (+362) 2012-12-12 16:09:46 [Message] fib_1618 -> Chat: prices were not able to move above the September/October highs 2012-12-12 16:10:28 [Message] fib_1618 -> Chat: and we might have had a near term exhaustion bar today as this was one of the ideas we played with yesterday 2012-12-12 16:10:36 [Message] fib_1618 -> Chat: if this is the case 2012-12-12 16:11:00 [Message] fib_1618 -> Chat: this should be the beginning of our moving into our expected mid December low 2012-12-12 16:11:35 [Message] fib_1618 -> Chat: and this should include moving tools, like the Open 10, back to at least neutral readings 2012-12-12 16:11:49 [Message] fib_1618 -> Chat: and ideally, back to "oversold" 2012-12-12 16:13:05 [Message] fib_1618 -> Chat: this would include, of course, a probable break of our complex pattern structure in the MCO 2012-12-12 16:13:13 [Message] fib_1618 -> Chat: and a move back to the zero line 2012-12-12 16:13:22 [Message] fib_1618 -> Chat: we should know more tomorrow 2012-12-12 16:13:54 [Message] fib_1618 -> Chat: a small snapback to the +25 level on the NASDAQ breadth MCO today 2012-12-12 16:14:35 [Message] fib_1618 -> Chat: and we remain on course with a date of the NASDAQ breadth MCSUM's zero line 2012-12-12 16:15:07 [Message] fib_1618 -> Chat: the NDX breadth MCSUM is now right up to its pattern resistance levels of the two rounding tops we see in the MCSUM from the September/October period 2012-12-12 16:16:04 [Message] fib_1618 -> Chat: it will be an important statement made by the bulls if we can clear these tops 2012-12-12 16:16:16 [Message] fib_1618 -> Chat: and take out the +250 level as well 2012-12-12 16:17:16 [Message] fib_1618 -> Chat: and it will evidently take a break above this same MCSUM level so that the NDX price pattern can also take out its overhead resistance point of the 2700 level 2012-12-12 16:17:34 [Message] fib_1618 -> Chat: so maybe tomorrow...we'll see how that goes 2012-12-12 16:17:55 [Message] fib_1618 -> Chat: after moving to the top of the range on Tuesday 2012-12-12 16:18:03 [Message] fib_1618 -> Chat: the SPX breadth MCO pulled back a bit today 2012-12-12 16:18:24 [Message] fib_1618 -> Chat: all within the confines of our expected complex MCO pattern sequence above the zero line 2012-12-12 16:19:11 [Message] fib_1618 -> Chat: meanwhile, the SPX breadth MCSUM is now at the +300 level on its way towards +500 2012-12-12 16:19:40 [Message] fib_1618 -> Chat: a minimal change today on the OEX breadth MCO 2012-12-12 16:19:54 [Message] fib_1618 -> Chat: and we have now cleared the +250 level today on the OEX breadth MCSUM with a reading of +305 2012-12-12 16:20:47 [Message] fib_1618 -> Chat: also a small pullback in the Dow breadth MCO 2012-12-12 16:21:22 [Message] fib_1618 -> Chat: and it was a enough to push the Dow breadth MCSUM above its ledge resistance point that we talked about on Tuesday 2012-12-12 16:22:02 [Message] fib_1618 -> Chat: the MID breadth MCO did move below last weeks support area 2012-12-12 16:22:30 [Message] fib_1618 -> Chat: and with the MID breadth MCSUM now at the all important +500 level (+491) 2012-12-12 16:22:43 [Message] fib_1618 -> Chat: either we'll continue to ease off here 2012-12-12 16:23:14 [Message] fib_1618 -> Chat: or we're getting ready to move up and through this important level of strength 2012-12-12 16:23:41 [Message] fib_1618 -> Chat: intraday wise 2012-12-12 16:23:55 [Message] fib_1618 -> Chat: we moved to our highest levels since the September all time highs 2012-12-12 16:24:22 [Message] fib_1618 -> Chat: so a rest here to regroup might be in order given the work the bulls have done over the last month 2012-12-12 16:24:46 [Message] fib_1618 -> Chat: as we expected yesterday, with the SML breadth MCO not being able to improve on its gains on Tuesday, prices were not able to plow through the 470 level 2012-12-12 16:25:50 [Message] fib_1618 -> Chat: and a simple reversal bar was the result 2012-12-12 16:26:11 [Message] fib_1618 -> Chat: usually this takes a day or two of back and fill before another attempt is made to move to higher highs 2012-12-12 16:26:32 [Message] fib_1618 -> Chat: so with the SML breadth MCO breaking below last weeks lows today 2012-12-12 16:26:51 [Message] fib_1618 -> Chat: this would be the best index play for a possible "hit and run" short 2012-12-12 16:27:44 [Message] fib_1618 -> Chat: within the larger context of an advancing short term trend 2012-12-12 16:27:51 [Message] fib_1618 -> Chat: so it would be short and shallow 2012-12-12 16:28:22 [Message] fib_1618 -> Chat: maybe finding ultimate support at the 460 level 2012-12-12 16:28:35 [Message] fib_1618 -> Chat: on the flip side 2012-12-12 16:29:02 [Message] fib_1618 -> Chat: it could also be part of a simple snapback to the price consolidation pattern we saw prior to yesterday's breakout as well 2012-12-12 16:29:36 [Message] fib_1618 -> Chat: and the TM breadth MCO held up nicely today 2012-12-12 16:29:47 [Message] fib_1618 -> Chat: and remains above Monday's lows 2012-12-12 16:30:19 [Message] fib_1618 -> Chat: while the TM breadth MCSUM continues to improve on its progress toward the +250 level 2012-12-12 16:30:21 [Message] fib_1618 -> Chat: so... 2012-12-12 16:30:29 [Message] fib_1618 -> Chat: the two point conversion by the bulls failed 2012-12-12 16:30:46 [Message] fib_1618 -> Chat: and now the bears will have their opportunity 2012-12-12 16:31:11 [Message] fib_1618 -> Chat: we'll see what kind of "kicker" the bulls have in their arsenal near term 2012-12-12 16:31:22 [Message] fib_1618 -> Chat: whether the kick will be deep in bear territory 2012-12-12 16:31:25 [Message] fib_1618 -> Chat: or a touch back 2012-12-12 16:31:41 [Message] fib_1618 -> Chat: from where the bears will probably have a couple of days of play to work with 2012-12-12 16:32:06 [Message] fib_1618 -> Chat: small point change in the NYSE CO volume MCO 2012-12-12 16:32:37 [Message] fib_1618 -> Chat: and the NYSE CO volume MCSUM plowed through its pattern resistance today 2012-12-12 16:32:40 [Message] fib_1618 -> Chat: so that's good news 2012-12-12 16:33:02 [Message] fib_1618 -> Chat: almost a small point change as well on the NYSE composite volume MCO 2012-12-12 16:33:16 [Message] fib_1618 -> Chat: so there's a bit of tension on the tape here 2012-12-12 16:33:33 [Message] fib_1618 -> Chat: more like indecision if anything else 2012-12-12 16:33:48 [Message] fib_1618 -> Chat: that was quite a statement by the FED 2012-12-12 16:34:14 [Message] fib_1618 -> Chat: as we now have chapter and verse of what their working with and looking at 2012-12-12 16:34:44 [Message] fib_1618 -> Chat: so, at this point, they don't think they will need to lift this current accomodative policy until 2015 2012-12-12 16:35:14 [Message] fib_1618 -> Chat: now if we can only get the banks to drop the Prime Rate...that would help immensely 2012-12-12 16:35:22 [Message] fib_1618 -> Chat: back to the charts 2012-12-12 16:35:42 [Message] fib_1618 -> Chat: a bit of a pullback as well on the NASDAQ volume MCO 2012-12-12 16:36:04 [Message] fib_1618 -> Chat: and the NASDAQ volume MCSUM is now above the +250 level with a +258 reading 2012-12-12 16:36:31 [Message] fib_1618 -> Chat: only the top at the end of September is keeping prices from moving significantly higher 2012-12-12 16:36:53 [Message] fib_1618 -> Chat: or at least, minimally, breaking above the 3025 level where we have pattern consolidation in the beginning of November 2012-12-12 16:37:44 [Message] fib_1618 -> Chat: small pullback as well on the NDX volume MCO 2012-12-12 16:38:01 [Message] fib_1618 -> Chat: and now the NDX volume MCSUM is about 40 data points away from the +250 level 2012-12-12 16:38:47 [Message] fib_1618 -> Chat: should be a character moment for the bulls coming by Friday in their hope of holding +50 support on the NDX volume MCO 2012-12-12 16:39:19 [Message] fib_1618 -> Chat: very light selling today 2012-12-12 16:39:32 [Message] fib_1618 -> Chat: and this shows up in the SPX volume MCO 2012-12-12 16:39:49 [Message] fib_1618 -> Chat: and now the SPX volume MCSUM has cleared its +250 level 2012-12-12 16:40:15 [Message] fib_1618 -> Chat: same thing with the OEX data 2012-12-12 16:40:25 [Message] fib_1618 -> Chat: with the OEX volume MCO having its own small point change 2012-12-12 16:41:05 [Message] fib_1618 -> Chat: a small positive reading today on the Dow volume MCO 2012-12-12 16:41:16 [Message] fib_1618 -> Chat: with bottoms above bottoms continuing to control that pattern 2012-12-12 16:41:55 [Message] fib_1618 -> Chat: we had good follow through to the upside today on the MID volume MCSUM 2012-12-12 16:42:33 [Message] fib_1618 -> Chat: so if we can get the MID breadth MCSUM to agree, that should be enough to move the price pattern into all time highs 2012-12-12 16:43:07 [Message] fib_1618 -> Chat: a small move lower as well with the SML volume MCO 2012-12-12 16:43:15 [Message] fib_1618 -> Chat: as well as the TM volume MCO 2012-12-12 16:43:28 [Message] fib_1618 -> Chat: and with today's reading on the MCO 2012-12-12 16:43:39 [Message] fib_1618 -> Chat: the TM volume MCSUM has now also cleared the +250 level today 2012-12-12 16:43:42 [Message] fib_1618 -> Chat: so... 2012-12-12 16:44:00 [Message] fib_1618 -> Chat: what looked as though we might be looking at a day or two of pause here on the breadth side 2012-12-12 16:44:15 [Message] fib_1618 -> Chat: the volume side is suggesting that today was one of those stealth days 2012-12-12 16:44:26 [Message] fib_1618 -> Chat: failing to hold the rally intraday 2012-12-12 16:44:31 [Message] fib_1618 -> Chat: and closing near the lows 2012-12-12 16:44:47 [Message] fib_1618 -> Chat: will tend to keep the majority from moving into the market on the back on the FED announcement 2012-12-12 16:45:14 [Message] fib_1618 -> Chat: and as long as volume plurality remains bouyant as it is right now 2012-12-12 16:45:25 [Message] fib_1618 -> Chat: any surprises will continue to be with the bulls 2012-12-12 16:46:10 [Message] fib_1618 -> Chat: as it's always good to have the volume side leading breadth in the direction of the path of least resistance 2012-12-12 16:46:25 [Message] fib_1618 -> Chat: so if we do open lower on Thursday, it shouldn't last too long 2012-12-12 16:46:40 [Message] fib_1618 -> Chat: and the odds would favor a flat to up close if that happens 2012-12-12 16:46:51 [Message] fib_1618 -> Chat: so it's all "hit and run" for the bears right now 2012-12-12 16:47:23 [Message] fib_1618 -> Chat: for the bulls...nothing has changed that much from yesterday to today to warrant any kind of caution 2012-12-12 16:47:34 [Message] fib_1618 -> Chat: let's see how the volume oscillators look 2012-12-12 16:48:27 [Message] fib_1618 -> Chat: we relieved much of the climactic behavior from yesterday with relative ease 2012-12-12 16:48:37 [Message] fib_1618 -> Chat: with the Dow STVO and VTO now "overbought" 2012-12-12 16:49:12 [Message] fib_1618 -> Chat: and the other VTO's now moving to or towards "overbought" extremes 2012-12-12 16:49:36 [Message] fib_1618 -> Chat: NYSE TRIN at .72 2012-12-12 16:49:46 [Message] fib_1618 -> Chat: Open 10 at .84 2012-12-12 16:49:59 [Message] fib_1618 -> Chat: NASDAQ TRIN at .76 2012-12-12 16:50:09 [Message] fib_1618 -> Chat:

change there from yesterday 2012-12-12 16:50:39 [Message] fib_1618 -> Chat: so.... 2012-12-12 16:50:45 [Message] fib_1618 -> Chat: taken altogether 2012-12-12 16:51:22 [Message] fib_1618 -> Chat: it would seem to be a reasonable expectation that we're in the process of a simple price pattern snapback to last weeks trading range on the price chart 2012-12-12 16:51:28 [Message] fib_1618 -> Chat: for the SPX 2012-12-12 16:51:53 [Message] fib_1618 -> Chat: 1420/1422 should provide support on the cash 2012-12-12 16:52:11 [Message] fib_1618 -> Chat: and 13,100 on the Dow 2012-12-12 16:52:40 [Message] fib_1618 -> Chat: so enough to agitate the bears that we may have topped today with the FED announcement 2012-12-12 16:52:58 [Message] fib_1618 -> Chat: but given the underlying strength 2012-12-12 16:53:17 [Message] fib_1618 -> Chat: the pullback here could be sharp and quick to meet these same downside pattern objectives 2012-12-12 16:53:27 [Message] fib_1618 -> Chat: let's see, what else? 2012-12-12 16:54:43 [Message] fib_1618 -> Chat: the unweighted averages are showing much better strength here than the weighted ones 2012-12-12 16:54:51 [Message] fib_1618 -> Chat: so that's a good omen 2012-12-12 16:55:09 [Message] fib_1618 -> Chat: in fact, by quite a bit 2012-12-12 16:55:30 [Message] fib_1618 -> Chat: so it's the heavy weights that weighed down the price patterns today into the close it would seem 2012-12-12 16:56:02 [Message] fib_1618 -> Chat: you can see these charts under the "unweighted indexes" link at the bottom of the DP page 2012-12-12 16:57:20 [Message] fib_1618 -> Chat: OK...any questions at all...recommendations?? 2012-12-12 16:57:52 [Message] fib_1618 -> Chat: when we have very little change from the previous day's work it's hard to add anything different 2012-12-12 16:58:15 [Message] fib_1618 -> Chat: Futures are flat 2012-12-12 16:58:37 [Message] fib_1618 -> Chat: let me take a look around my chart library 2012-12-12
