UP for starters today

Just as indicated Yesterday

they will open higher and may extend gains from 1pm to 3pm
possible retest of spx 909,
Its not that far away = 128 dow points


TODAY's Activity index at 8am is way up there at 400
remember that yesterday it was FLAT all day at its lowest level @33

so a reading of 400 indicates a very strong open today
I will keep you updated during the day, but will be out of the office from 10am to noon

Power index is clustered at 400 for most of the day and drops later to 300
Power index opens Friday at 300, and immediately jumps to 500

propensity index today starts at 2990, then moves up to a high of 2996 somewhere mid day
best guess between 1pm & 3pm, then drops back down to 2990

Bar cycle
204b@ 10:30
228b@ 1pm
258b@ 3;30

remember that 180b@ 3;36 hit exact lows yesterday

Midnite high tide inverted = a low today

occasionally the 258b cycle extends up to 30 minutes = 264bars at close
maybe, but I still prefer the 3;36 time slot for the LOD

A caveat since I see the open Friday similar to Tuesday which was down for 5 minutes
then exploded up for the day

question becomes when to close out shorts and get long
My game plan is to get out of shorts late today, 3:36pm, provided that I buy short during the day
AND
BUY long at or before the close and ADD more on a lower open- Fri
And YES
I do PLAN to get SHORT at Close on Friday, and YES will add more shorts Monday AM if warranted

more later

  2. as of the OPEN, activity index has taken a dive from the 400 at 8am to
    166 presently

    should be an hour delay before it shows up in stock prices moving lower

    we do have a 204bar cycle low due at 10;30

    I dont think thats the end of the rebound;

    SPX 909 should be resistance today
    might be a very brief moment later today

    Wilhelm's chart shows the range now between 909 and 880

    more later

  8. welcome Follower # 64 and anyone else -from Mkt guru- please register
    as a follower - its good for my ego

    Ok today we had the UP OPEN high @ 9:45
    then 10:30 = the 204bar cycle low
    Its now 1pm and we just had the 228bar cycle low, and theya r rebounding from there.

    today's activity index dropped from the open at the 400 level to NOW at 133 on the downtrend within an hour from 1pm;

    My game plan is to buy some short positions as we approach 1;30 to 2pm

    Spx 880 would be a very nice lsoe today- as the power index drops BELOW 300 at tomrrows open

    Will I hold for the OPEN??
    Cant say until we actually see how low we get at 3;26 and or 4pm today

    Friday looks good for a huge rebound after the opening low till maybe 11am to 1pm, and if so another good shorting opp

    OK Jay, time to regroup and sharpen up your pencil and analysis. with huge neg. divg. and breakdown of ascending wedge we should ( may) open gap down?

    I agree with you -- am not phased yet.
    good work. keep it up

    Yes, numbers of yesterday indicated a finish below zero today. These EOD projections get skewed by news. It seems today it was the very successful mid-day auction of the 7-year note, sustaining oil, gas and financials the rest of the day. Does wind the spring tighter for tomorrow's EOD sell-off.

    This may be contrary to Jay's current projection.
