1225 is the next big number, a Fib. retracement after 1115
(61.8%, I think). 1150 was the MA(20) on the monthly chart, a
border line between the bull and bear markets. 'Think big' is the
motto of this market, in my twisted humor. If it's not obvious to
everyone, it's not going to work (for the bears).
Why the overall top? Two factors: the "thin" zone ends
approximately there (1200, if I recall from Matt & Steve's
reports last fall), and "sell in May and go away" has not been
repelled yet, when there is something to sell. There was little or
none last year.
Lastly, the professionals will need time to distribute their
longs near the top, that's why I would expect a long rectangle or
something of this sort. Something like in Dec.-January 2009. This
market is a chess game, and those who practise analysis -- dividing
the whole into parts to make sense of it, ala science -- will never
get it.

Junkie,
Thanks for the thoughts and advice. Where do you get 1225 from and why do you think that would be an overall top?
1225 is the next big
