08/26/2011 Market Outlook (Symmetrical Triangle or Rising Wedge)

SHORT-TERM: IN WAIT AND SEE MODE

No new stuff, so if not interested, just take a look at the evil plan below and forget the rest. The only thing would change my call for breaking below Aug 9 lows is decisively break above the Aug 17 highs and never fall back a single cent below the Aug 17 highs (so called no overlapping). I don’t mean to test the Aug 9 lows immediately, as it’s quite possible the rebound would last for a month or two (Rising Wedge case). Trading wise, since the table below shows the short-term is up plus both Cobra Impulse System and Non-Stop are in buy mode now, so I’m more willing to bet on the long side (very careful though) until the short-term changes into downtrend.

SPYEvilPlan

Call me stubborn,  but, really really, it’s very very very very very rare that THE LOW was in:

  • The sell off we just had was way too strong which automatically implies a 3 legged down (Why? You Earth people can never overcome the law of inertia). The chart below still looks missing one last leg at least.

NYMO

  • Comparing with the past rally from the bottom, the Friday’s intraday pullback was way too big therefore the overall rebound looks like a ZigZag pattern instead of a 5 waved impulse up to galaxy far far away.

INTERMEDIATE-TERM: SPX DOWNSIDE TARGET  IS 1,000, THE CORRECTION COULD LAST 1 TO 2 MONTHS
