2012-12-04 16:07:58 [Message] fib_1618 -> Chat: it's not likely that we're going to challenge the November lows 2012-12-04 16:08:10 [Message] fib_1618 -> Chat: and at the very most...trend sideways 2012-12-04 16:08:30 [Message] fib_1618 -> Chat: every alert now from CNBC has a "Fiscal Cliff" reference 2012-12-04 16:08:49 [Message] fib_1618 -> Chat: pretty amazing 2012-12-04 16:08:56 [Message] thespookyone -> Chat: a cliff is like a wall, eh? 2012-12-04 16:09:08 [Message] fib_1618 -> Chat: OK...let me get DP up and let's see what's happening... 2012-12-04 16:09:39 [Message] fib_1618 -> Chat: after moving to higher highs last Thursday 2012-12-04 16:09:54 [Message] fib_1618 -> Chat: the CO NYSE breadth MCO continues to chop around here 2012-12-04 16:10:04 [Message] fib_1618 -> Chat: with today giving us a small point change on this MCO 2012-12-04 16:10:13 [Message] fib_1618 -> Chat: from this past weekends review 2012-12-04 16:10:36 [Message] fib_1618 -> Chat: (which, by the way, I'm sorry I didn't have the time to comment as we were fighting mother nature) 2012-12-04 16:10:59 [Message] fib_1618 -> Chat: we saw that the CO NYSE A/D line had broken above its declining tops line 2012-12-04 16:11:13 [Message] fib_1618 -> Chat: this is something that took the better part of a month to do on the last rally 2012-12-04 16:11:43 [Message] fib_1618 -> Chat: so we're playing with a stronger market right now than what we saw at the beginning of September 2012-12-04 16:11:58 [Message] fib_1618 -> Chat: and that should play out well as we move into the new year 2012-12-04 16:12:25 [Message] fib_1618 -> Chat: looking at the CO MCO breadth components 2012-12-04 16:12:32 [Message] fib_1618 -> Chat: and they remain in gear to the upside for now 2012-12-04 16:12:50 [Message] fib_1618 -> Chat: and when we combine the MCO and its components 2012-12-04 16:13:11 [Message] fib_1618 -> Chat: we see that have had enough energy moving in to where the CO NYSE breadth MCSUM has moved above its zero line 2012-12-04 16:13:29 [Message] fib_1618 -> Chat: which tells us that the bulls have regained control of the market on an intermediate term basis 2012-12-04 16:13:42 [Message] fib_1618 -> Chat: and given the strength we see on this recent pause to refresh 2012-12-04 16:13:56 [Message] fib_1618 -> Chat: we should continue to see higher highs in the MCSUM over the next couple of days 2012-12-04 16:14:37 [Message] fib_1618 -> Chat: with the objective of the +250 level where we have both pattern and 250 multiple resistance resides 2012-12-04 16:15:04 [Message] fib_1618 -> Chat: moving to the composite 2012-12-04 16:15:11 [Message] fib_1618 -> Chat: and we see that it's a bit weaker here 2012-12-04 16:15:19 [Message] fib_1618 -> Chat: than that of the CO data 2012-12-04 16:15:31 [Message] fib_1618 -> Chat: but when we look at the NYSE composite breadth MCSUM 2012-12-04 16:15:45 [Message] fib_1618 -> Chat: we see that we are already at this same important resistance level of +250 with today's reading of a +208 2012-12-04 16:16:37 [Message] fib_1618 -> Chat: so the next day or so should tell us something about our ongoing discussion on whether the market has bottomed or not 2012-12-04 16:16:52 [Message] fib_1618 -> Chat: for if we get fresh buying here near term 2012-12-04 16:17:00 [Message] fib_1618 -> Chat: and push the MCO and MCSUM higher 2012-12-04 16:17:31 [Message] fib_1618 -> Chat: this would the increase the chance that the 11/16 lows were, in fact, the pattern sequence lows of the last correction 2012-12-04 16:17:51 [Message] fib_1618 -> Chat: and that we're either going to test the highs and then move down and INTO the mid December lows 2012-12-04 16:18:09 [Message] fib_1618 -> Chat: or just chop around sideways and move up and OUT of these expected lows 2012-12-04 16:18:38 [Message] fib_1618 -> Chat: one things is for sure though 2012-12-04 16:19:45 [Message] fib_1618 -> Chat: it's becoming more and more likely that we will see at least one more new recovery price highs in this current sequence before the bears will have any chance at all of trying to wrestle control back again from the buyers 2012-12-04 16:20:48 [Message] fib_1618 -> Chat: the NASDAQ breadth MCO continued to pull back from its high point of last week 2012-12-04 16:21:09 [Message] fib_1618 -> Chat: and now the NASDAQ breadth MCSUM is at the -250 level with a reading of -241 2012-12-04 16:21:34 [Message] fib_1618 -> Chat: so this is the first real hurdle for both sides in what should turn out to be an important sequence 2012-12-04 16:22:07 [Message] fib_1618 -> Chat: in which side is likely to win out with the current fundamental expectations of debt and cliffs 2012-12-04 16:22:35 [Message] fib_1618 -> Chat: BTW...this fiscal cliff backdrop is playing very much like we saw with Y2K with the same time line involved 2012-12-04 16:23:10 [Message] fib_1618 -> Chat: looking at the NASDAQ breadth MCO components 2012-12-04 16:23:24 [Message] fib_1618 -> Chat: and we see that the 5% Trend has now snapped back down to its zero line 2012-12-04 16:23:43 [Message] fib_1618 -> Chat: so a bounce off this same line of neutrality should be seen over the near term 2012-12-04 16:23:53 [Message] fib_1618 -> Chat: near term meaning the next couple of days 2012-12-04 16:24:10 [Message] fib_1618 -> Chat: price pattern wise 2012-12-04 16:24:28 [Message] fib_1618 -> Chat: after moving back above the psychological price level of 3000 last week 2012-12-04 16:24:42 [Message] fib_1618 -> Chat: it would appear that we've had a successful pullback to this same number 2012-12-04 16:25:04 [Message] fib_1618 -> Chat: so this increases the likelihood of some sort of bullish play near term as well 2012-12-04 16:25:25 [Message] fib_1618 -> Chat: small point change on the NDX breadth MCO 2012-12-04 16:25:35 [Message] fib_1618 -> Chat: as it remains above its reaction lows 2012-12-04 16:25:58 [Message] fib_1618 -> Chat: for the bulls...they want to continue to develop a complex sideways pattern 2012-12-04 16:26:11 [Message] fib_1618 -> Chat: for the bears...they want to see a break of these same recent lows 2012-12-04 16:26:34 [Message] fib_1618 -> Chat: our expectation from last week was for some complexity above the MCO zero line for a week or so 2012-12-04 16:27:02 [Message] fib_1618 -> Chat: and so far, the markets ability to remain as bouyant as it has been, helps support the idea of this same complex pattern development 2012-12-04 16:27:26 [Message] fib_1618 -> Chat: moving to the SPX breadth MCO 2012-12-04 16:27:44 [Message] fib_1618 -> Chat: and we have the same kind of MCO patten as that of the NDX 2012-12-04 16:27:53 [Message] fib_1618 -> Chat: if we are in a complex pattern 2012-12-04 16:28:25 [Message] fib_1618 -> Chat: we should now move higher within this structure...in what should be a range bound pattern in the MCO 2012-12-04 16:28:57 [Message] fib_1618 -> Chat: it should also be noted that the SPX breadth MCSUM moved back above its zero line today 2012-12-04 16:29:22 [Message] fib_1618 -> Chat: so an important day or two coming up as far as consistency and follow through is concerned 2012-12-04 16:29:45 [Message] fib_1618 -> Chat: the OEX breadth MCO is also looking like a complex pattern right now 2012-12-04 16:30:08 [Message] fib_1618 -> Chat: but the OEX breadth MCSUM is still a bit away from its zero line with a reading of -59 2012-12-04 16:30:24 [Message] fib_1618 -> Chat: but a strong day tomorrow will get it to the zero line 2012-12-04 16:30:38 [Message] fib_1618 -> Chat: speaking of which 2012-12-04 16:31:00 [Message] fib_1618 -> Chat: the Dow breadth MCSUM is also slightly below its zero line with a -43 reading 2012-12-04 16:31:36 [Message] fib_1618 -> Chat: with prices here still having some upside potential 2012-12-04 16:31:51 [Message] fib_1618 -> Chat: of maybe another 200 Dow points 2012-12-04 16:32:15 [Message] fib_1618 -> Chat: and still remain within the idea of a mid December pullback to an eventual tradable bottom 2012-12-04 16:33:51 [Message] fib_1618 -> Chat: small point change on the MID breadth MCO 2012-12-04 16:34:18 [Message] fib_1618 -> Chat: with the MID breadth MCSUM clearing another hurdle of pattern resistance over the last couple of days 2012-12-04 16:35:23 [Message] fib_1618 -> Chat: and we remain just below the previous price tops in what looks like a simple pause to refresh in progress before the real attempt to break out above these same tops 2012-12-04 16:35:27 [Message] fib_1618 -> Chat: remember also 2012-12-04 16:35:31 [Message] fib_1618 -> Chat: that for several months now 2012-12-04 16:35:44 [Message] fib_1618 -> Chat: the market has been leading off on the jobs data...usually on Thursday 2012-12-04 16:36:08 [Message] fib_1618 -> Chat: so we need to be prepared for a possible push higher in front of this data 2012-12-04 16:37:22 [Message] fib_1618 -> Chat: small point change as well with the SML breadth MCO 2012-12-04 16:37:32 [Message] fib_1618 -> Chat: and look at the way this MCO refuses to move lower here 2012-12-04 16:37:48 [Message] fib_1618 -> Chat: this reflects the strong amount of buying strength currently in spite of all the negatives...from increasing taxes - to debt worries - to political banter 2012-12-04 16:38:49 [Message] fib_1618 -> Chat: so money is betting on a positive resolution to all of this...at least for now 2012-12-04 16:39:13 [Message] fib_1618 -> Chat: we also note that the SML breadth MCSUM has also moved above its zero line today 2012-12-04 16:39:24 [Message] fib_1618 -> Chat: well... 2012-12-04 16:39:26 [Message] fib_1618 -> Chat: maybe not 2012-12-04 16:39:30 [Message] fib_1618 -> Chat: it says a -2 2012-12-04 16:39:37 [Message] fib_1618 -> Chat: but the chart shows it slightly above the zero line 2012-12-04 16:39:47 [Message] fib_1618 -> Chat: anyway...we'll call it AT the zero line 2012-12-04 16:40:06 [Message] fib_1618 -> Chat: and showing great post expansion to the upside 2012-12-04 16:40:15 [Message] fib_1618 -> Chat: with the wider the posts 2012-12-04 16:40:24 [Message] fib_1618 -> Chat: the larger the flow of money entering the market 2012-12-04 16:40:54 [Message] fib_1618 -> Chat: and a little bit on the surprising side 2012-12-04 16:41:04 [Message] fib_1618 -> Chat: but the TM breadth MCO did move below its recent reaction lows today 2012-12-04 16:41:39 [Message] fib_1618 -> Chat: in spite of the overall firmness we've seen in the data so far 2012-12-04 16:41:54 [Message] fib_1618 -> Chat: the TM breadth MCSUM? 2012-12-04 16:42:03 [Message] fib_1618 -> Chat: Yes, it too is at the zero line now 2012-12-04 16:42:07 [Message] fib_1618 -> Chat: with a reading of -8 2012-12-04 16:42:13 [Message] fib_1618 -> Chat: so... 2012-12-04 16:42:22 [Message] fib_1618 -> Chat: if the bears are going to take a swipe at the bulls 2012-12-04 16:42:29 [Message] fib_1618 -> Chat: this would be the prime time to do so 2012-12-04 16:42:51 [Message] fib_1618 -> Chat: if they swing, and miss, the sellers will have to run for cover 2012-12-04 16:42:57 [Message] fib_1618 -> Chat: and that could last a day or two 2012-12-04 16:43:10 [Message] fib_1618 -> Chat: and that would set us up for Friday's numbers 2012-12-04 16:43:15 [Message] fib_1618 -> Chat: for now... 2012-12-04 16:43:20 [Message] fib_1618 -> Chat: it's the bulls ball to lose 2012-12-04 16:43:24 [Message] fib_1618 -> Chat: they have the control 2012-12-04 16:43:37 [Message] fib_1618 -> Chat: let's take a look at the sector charts tonight 2012-12-04 16:44:15 [Message] fib_1618 -> Chat: The XLY breadth MCO has a divergent top in place 2012-12-04 16:44:25 [Message] fib_1618 -> Chat: with the price pattern only testing its highs of the year 2012-12-04 16:44:50 [Message] fib_1618 -> Chat: the XLY breadth MCSUM did cross its first bearish pattern hurdle last week 2012-12-04 16:45:06 [Message] fib_1618 -> Chat: but now is weakening as it moves closer to its zero line 2012-12-04 16:45:23 [Message] fib_1618 -> Chat: so this is an area that could be a short term problem 2012-12-04 16:45:27 [Message] fib_1618 -> Chat: we also have to remember that 2012-12-04 16:45:54 [Message] fib_1618 -> Chat: there is a longshoreman strike going on right now in Los Angeles 2012-12-04 16:46:05 [Message] fib_1618 -> Chat: which has

agreement...if there is one (note: the strike ended this morning) 2012-12-04 16:46:41 [Message] fib_1618 -> Chat: the general rule is that for every week of strike 2012-12-04 16:46:50 [Message] fib_1618 -> Chat: it takes two weeks to get things back to "normal" 2012-12-04 16:47:02 [Message] fib_1618 -> Chat: 2 weeks = 4 weeks if they settle tomorrow 2012-12-04 16:47:08 [Message] thespookyone -> Chat: wouldn't this be a good rotation point, as well, causing some index to falter-while others persist, or strengthen? 2012-12-04 16:47:12 [Message] fib_1618 -> Chat: and that kills the holidays for many retailers 2012-12-04 16:47:18 [Message] fib_1618 -> Chat: yes 2012-12-04 16:47:36 [Message] fib_1618 -> Chat: those who don't heavily rely on cargo will see money moving in 2012-12-04 16:48:03 [Message] fib_1618 -> Chat: but discretionary is very sensitive to this 2012-12-04 16:48:31 [Message] fib_1618 -> Chat: so money may be moving out now because when January rolls around, there will be a lot of lost sales 2012-12-04 16:48:39 [Message] fib_1618 -> Chat: to wit 2012-12-04 16:48:50 [Message] fib_1618 -> Chat: expect retail sales for December to be weak 2012-12-04 16:49:01

2012-12-04 16:49:53 [Message] fib_1618 -> Chat: the XLP breadth MCO is in a much better position here 2012-12-04 16:50:04 [Message] fib_1618 -> Chat: both in the way of MCO complexity 2012-12-04 16:50:24 [Message] fib_1618 -> Chat: and the way the XLP breadth MCSUM is moving strongly higher 2012-12-04 16:50:40 [Message] fib_1618 -> Chat: as we pointed out a couple of weeks ago 2012-12-04 16:50:58 [Message] fib_1618 -> Chat: any move above the +600 level will clear the way for new all time highs in this ETF 2012-12-04 16:51:25 [Message] fib_1618 -> Chat: today's reading of +551 does push things into escape velocity 2012-12-04 16:51:46 [Message] fib_1618 -> Chat: so it shouldn't be that difficult to move above this same area of resistance (+600) 2012-12-04 16:51:49 [Message] thespookyone -> Chat: I've started to cherry pic Jan calls in this sector-love the look! 2012-12-04 16:51:54 [Message] fib_1618 -> Chat: and may do so as soon as tomorrow 2012-12-04 16:52:06 [Message]

2012-12-04 16:55:22 [Message] fib_1618 -> Chat: and you can see the struggle this sector has had in attracting money with the XLE breadth MCSUM 2012-12-04 16:55:43 [Message] fib_1618 -> Chat: so far...it's been a warm winter 2012-12-04 16:56:08 [Message] fib_1618 -> Chat: doesn't look too appealing here...at least for now 2012-12-04 16:56:15 [Message] thespookyone -> Chat: my daughters father
