05/31/2011 Market Outlook (Exhaustion Bar?)

SHORT-TERM: MAY SEE A PULLBACK OF SOME KIND AHEAD

One chart says all today, take a look yourself. See volume pattern illustrated in the chart below, today’s bar could be an exhaustion bar, so either 71% chances a red day tomorrow or 93% chances SPX will close below today’s close soon, and see red cycles, with no exception recently, the pullback may last for a few days. Also don’t forget all the recent statistics below:

I would be speechless if all those statistics fail eventually. That said, since nowadays the most impossible thing is actually the most possible thing, so frankly, I have no confidence at all for bears. Anyway, put emotion aside, I’ll, for now, accordingly, maintain what I blah blah in 05/27 Market Outlook – bullish, yes, but not without a fight. Let’s see…

INTERMEDIATE-TERM: MAY SEE NEW HIGH, TARGETING SPX 1352 to 1381 AREA, BIG CORRECTION MAY FOLLOW AFTER THAT
