great response dodger!  Technical analysis works and that triangle did give 25 SPX points to the downside so one could have tightened up stops if short.  Or if you shorted at higher levels, you could stay short, it's your choice. 

     

    All day long I posted the bull wedge developing on the SPX with the multiple points of positive divergence developing, that was something to take note of.  Then of course the market rallies hard on speculation.

     

    The PPT is about and the way the market is trading, it's all traders and it feels manipulated as well.  That's why it's still a good idea to take profits in this market, it's a traders market and is manipulated anyway. 

     

    Now regarding the comment about the big picture, yes we are in a horrible bear market.  I dont' care if the SPX rallies 250 points, it will still be in a bear market!

    I took profits just as the news broke but my decision was based on matt and steves comments on relentlessly taking profits in this screwed up market. also checking the blogs regularly and the dynamic links are key. that wedge matt put up w/pos divergence really convinced me to be on the lookout. thanks matt. for me and my clients!!!!
