05/18/2011 Market Outlook (Still is Bear Flag)

SHORT-TERM: A LITTLE LITTLE BEARISH BIASED

QQQ still clearly looks like a Bear Flag to me so I think the rebound today is just a rebound, the pullback isn’t over yet.

There’s another possibility, however, SPY daily chart looks still missing one more push up to form a so called 3 push up pattern, so it’s also possible that SPY would go directly from here to a new high. And therefore accordingly, trading wise, if another huge up day tomorrow, I’d be on the bull side.

3PushUp

The chart below illustrated the 3 push up followed by 2 legged down pattern. Now, it’s hard to judge whether the 2nd leg down is over but certainly we should be careful about the possible Bull Flag in the forming which if indeed, once the UUP pullback is over, it’d put pressure on the stock market again.

INTERMEDIATE-TERM: SPX NOW IN 1352 TO 1381 WAVE 5 PRICE TARGET AREA, WATCH FOR POTENTIAL REVERSAL

Maintain what I said in 05/06 Market Outlook. Need pay attention to the possibility that wave 5 ends while primary wave 3 sharply down has started. Still just an attention, not even a warning though.
