Thanks chartboy - one word of caution on Demark signals - absolutely horrid this year.  Fast money has swung and missed on many such signals truth be told.  Keep and open mind and adhere your plan/money management that includes an exit strategy commensurate to your risk tolerance.

    Technically this would not be a qualified break; however, I have zero question there is a still a massive amount of money positioning around that number.  So, the fact that it is acting as a pivot is what is most relevant to me. In effect, it is functioning very much like an options strike price with a large amount of open interest the day before expiration. Basically, creating the same effect as a would a very large high gamma position.

    Thanks Steve.

    Here you can see the significance of yesterday’s gap. It represented a break of the .382 Fib fan line from the March lows. Subsequently we encountered the .236 retracement to the March lows and the rising trend line that has been in place since may. The fact that todays bounce appears to be failing, plus the deflationary nature of the rotation that is accompanying it, strongly suggests we are heading for the .50 fan line, which of course would take us down to wipe out the stops below the Sept low, which is always the type of location these moves target. Given next weeks turn window, which coincides with the June high and the August 22 acceleration to the parabolic top and it means that keeping an eye on all options (up and down) is more important than usual.
