yep, the indexes are in these
triangles and are consolidating, when the triangles break then the
market will begin to trend again. Trading a consolidating market is
difficult at best, it's easier when things are trending. Again I
wonder if the jobs data Friday morning will be the catalyst
Trading triangles, one could buy
support and sell resistance or play the direction of the break,
otherwise it's just choppy back and forth action.

Matt,
in regards to the triangles you were talking about. if you
remember last time there was a headfake last time in march where
the market broke to the downside and then reversed to the
upside..to get everyone involved on the wrong side of the
market..just my opinion..how do you avoid that? thanks
tonygrusso- I said it could go either way, break to the upside or
break down. The Nasdaq, NDX, and RUT are strong. Again respect the
direction they break. Also per your question, nothing is certain
and you can get false breaks either way nothing set in stone in
technical analysis,
that's why they call it an art instead of a
science.
