INTERMEDIATE-TERM: NO UPDATE

Nothing new. Still no clue about the intermediate-term direction. The bottom line:

1.2.1 Dow Theory: Averages Must Confirm, record high overbought breadth plus non-confirmation between INDU and TRAN, so I still believe in that there’ll be at least 10% correction.

SHORT-TERM: MAINTIAN THE CONSOLIDATION THEN PULLBACK FORECAST

Short-term, I still think after consolidation (as we’ve had for the past few days) the market will pullback.

1.0.2 S&P 500 SPDRs (SPY 60 min), SPY new high not confirmed by QQQQ, this kind of non-confirmation is bearish.

1.1.3 QQQQ Short-term Trading Signals, black bar again, so 2 predictions: 1. Gap down open tomorrow. 2. Not far away from a short-term top.

Of course, today is a  holiday, so whatever we saw may mean nothing. Let’s see how the market unfolds tomorrow.
