07/12/2011 Market Outlook (Lower Close Ahead?)

SHORT-TERM: REBOUND MAY OR MAY NOT TOMORROW BUT MORE LIKELY LOWER CLOSE AHEAD EVENTUALLY

I said yesterday, the selling didn’t appear over because the Bear Flag was missing. Well, today we got the Flag and it did breakdown, but unfortunately, the breakdown didn’t get enough time before the market closed, so it’s not clear yet whether the breakdown is decisive enough, therefore cannot exclude the possibility that the low was in or very close (as the mini 2 legged down has been fulfilled). So sorry guys, we’ll have to wait until tomorrow.

However, there’s one thing I’m a little certain: If indeed the market rebounds right away tomorrow, the rebound most likely is sell. The argument is a strong uptrend should never have 3 consecutive down days. The chart below should be clear enough, at least lower close ahead.
