SPY SETUP ENTRY DATE STOP LOSS INSTRUCTION: Mechanic signals, back test is HERE, signals are HERE. TRADING PLATFORM: SSO/SDS, UPRO/SPXU Non-Stop 09/07 L N/A ST Model *02/11 L 1.9*ATR(10) *Enter long on any pullback to around SPY 02/11 mid price ($132.53) but still above 02/04 lows. I cannot give intraday signal, so have to buy the next pullback for this trade. Short-term N/A N/A Trend is UP. I hold partial long position over the weekend.

My Thoughts *I’m almost convinced that this could be a primary 3 of 3 up to much much higher.

SHORT-TERM: PRICE ACTION ARGUES FOR MORE UPSIDE, BEAR’S BEST BET IS TIME RESISTANCE

The bottom line, now looks like it’s even a luxury to hope a 2.5%+ pullback from high to low, as chances are good that the market may continue up from here especially if we see a bullish follow-through either the next Monday or Tuesday. The bear’s best bet is the time resistance, if indeed there’s a reversal, then also it’s either the next Monday or Tuesday. Considering the fact that trading is art not science, so let’s allow both bulls and bears a few more days, say the whole week the next week to see who stands last.

As mentioned in 02/10 Market Recap, if we’re still on Earth, then the law of inertia should always apply, so a strong up momentum like INDU up 8 consecutive days shouldn’t simply reverse sharply down all of sudden. In the Friday’s After Bell Quick Summary, I also mentioned, the Friday’s up doesn’t look like a follow though to the Thursday’s red day, therefore excludes the 5 out of 9 immediately 2.5%+ pullbacks cases shown on chart below. Instead, chances are that INDU may continue up from here and so will the other indices, especially if the next Monday or Tuesday could have a decent up (to follow-through the Friday’s up).

Now, let’s see bear’s best bet as interestingly enough multiple time resistances confluences from this Friday until the beginning of the next week.

• Firstly, it’s the max to 61 trading days without 2.5%+ pullback threshold mentioned in 02/04 Market Recap. We’re now on the 60th trading day.

• Also as mentioned in 02/04 Market Recap, since the March 2009, all the major rallies have lasted max to 54 trading days and we’re now on the 52th trading day of the current rally. Besides, the chart below also shows 2 major cycles due from 02/11 to 02/13 and in addition, statistically, day 11 and 14 of each month since year 2000 are one of most likely pivot days.

The last but not the least, here’s the latest poll for how many bears still standing from my forum, for fun only because you may argue that the choices are not fair for bears. LOL. Again, the poll is in Chinese but I happens to know some English.

INTERMEDIATE-TERM: WHETHER THIS IS PRIMARY 3 OF 3 TO GALAXY FAR FAR AWAY WE MAY KNOW THE NEXT WEEK
