Pivot Points -
I'm struggling with the call this morning. The choppy topping action, consolidation and severe overbought conditions are wearing on me a little bit. Last night I actually started tinkering with some (most likely premature) topping lines on a few charts. Even before I heard the Portugal news I was leaning down today for some reason. The charts are getting really ugly and hard to get a grip on especially on an intraday basis. While my gut is usually very good, you can't trust in anything other than the GS bots runnin and gunnin this market for all it is worth. You have to remain with the trend till it is proven busted.
The choppy consolidation broke out nicely when resistance was breached. SPX put in a massively bullish 60m candle, and I'm not sure that the breakout can be ignored (not really sure if it can be trusted either). That said, you gotta keep on riding the train. Support has been laid on the SPX at numerous levels in the past week. Resistance is futile now at new highs. She may be flying above the clouds here with a tail wind. Maybe she'll run to 1214 and just get it over with finally. Sorry for the confusion this am. Not sure if emotions are taking over or if my alter ego is popping up (no you're not, yes I am, no you're not, yes I am).If we stick with the charts we will not be misled. It is getting hard playing with longs, cause you know you are playing with fire up here. If you play shorties, please don't be a moron and accept huge losses. Have a plan. Set a stop. Take you losses and walk away. Live to fight another day. If you are long, enjoy it while it lasts, you to will need an exit plan soon as well.
