Summary:
No conclusion tomorrow. Chart pattern points to the downside but US$ may pullback which could lift the market.

INTERMEDIATE-TERM: NO UPDATE
1.2.1 Dow Theory: Averages Must Confirm:
- BPSPX, NYA200R, NYHILO too high. There was about 10% correction in year 2004 when these 3 were this high.
- TRAN hasn’t confirmed the INDU’s high yet.
SHORT-TERM: US$ IS THE KEY
As mentioned in the After Bell Quick Summary, a reversal day on SPY daily chart may mean that it’ll be up huge but in most cases there were pullbacks or some consolidation then pullback. 1.0.4 S&P 500 SPDRs (SPY 15 min), chart pattern wise, could be a Head and Shoulders Top in the forming so it also argues a possible further pullback.
On the other hand, this time, US$ is bulls’ hope: 3.1.0 PowerShares DB US Dollar Index Bullish Fund (UUP Daily), solid black bar may mean a pullback of the US$ and 3.4.1 United States Oil Fund, LP (USO Daily), hollow red bar may mean that oil could rebound. These 2 factors are “bull friendly”.
The conclusion is no conclusion. Let’s see how the market unfolds tomorrow.
