12/5/11

One of the problems with the market is that it makes it difficult to figure out what it's doing sometimes.


One reason it might be this way is because it's in a complex correction and possibly undergoing Intermediate (2) already, particularly if we're in the bearish leading diagonal I discussed on the 29th and this is a P[3] whose target is "only" a shade under 600. 

If this is the case, then we are either in Minute [y] of Minor 2 (of a "superbear" Prechterian P[3]) or Minor Y of Intermediate (2) of my little LD bear P[3] (which is still pretty superbearish, but allows for more time extending, pretending, and making desperate attempts at saving stuff). 

The move up since November 28, manifested by the lime-green overlaid line, is weaker in thrust and in technicals than the move from October 4-12 (manifested by the black line).  Notice in particular the lower slope and weaker RSI.  If that move is [a] of W (or 2 - the "1292 is the top" count hasn't technically been invalidated yet, though it is on thin ice), then it follows that this is probably [a] of Y.

In my opinion, the line in the sand for the bearish case is the downward trend from the May 2 1370 high to the July 7 1356 high.  This line is in the 1320s for the rest of December.  I believe that, should this line be breached and a full hourly candle be made above it to the upside, this is strong indication that we are in a bull market (or at least the most absurdly mutated [C] of Cycle b (see e.g. the Nasdaq) ever).
