EUROPE TO THE RESCUE

It appears that the news out of Europe, right before the close, that the EU is looking at further measures to recapitalize the banks, was enough to halt what was likely going to turn into a very nasty drop into the employment report on Friday. Instead what started as potentially very ugly morphed into a key reversal day. Since the market was getting very late in its daily cycle this will likely mark not only a daily cycle low, but a greater degree intermediate cycle low.


I've noted in the past that these intermediate degree bottoms are often accompanied by a significant divergence in momentum. You can see on the chart below that this often plays out as a large divergence in the McClellan oscillator.


The market should now make another attempt at a respectable bear market rally. I would think a very minimum would be a return to the 75 week moving average.


And considering the amount of time the market has been consolidating a move back to the 200 day moving average is not completely out of the question.


I think we probably just saw a major turning point today. One that should mark a bottom for at least a couple of months.

  1. Another good call, Gary.

    That was an incredible last minute rally today. Why anyone would want to be in the market is beyond me. The freight train is gaining steam, and it's gonna wipe out a lot of people. If you feel like playing chicken, go ahead and take a chance. You might make a buck. Then again, you might get your head handed to you.

    Feel free to visit my site for my take on the market.

    Good luck.

  2. Gary, I know you don't think there is manipulation in the market so I'll call it "fooling everyone". Corporations putting money in to fool the people and then take it out after they make money seems like what is going on. Nothing is doing good with these large businesses and Corporations so why would people buy knowing they could loose tomorrow, it don't make sense. So, who do these people think they are fooling? Look at the mob of people protesting what Wall Street is doing.
    Maybe a down turn but something don't seem right what is going on.
