&lt;/span&gt;this&lt;span&gt;&amp;nbsp; &lt;/span&gt;scenario&lt;span&gt;&amp;nbsp; &lt;/span&gt;if&lt;span&gt;&amp;nbsp;
&lt;/span&gt;it&lt;span&gt;&amp;nbsp; &lt;/span&gt;develops.&lt;span&gt;&amp;nbsp; &lt;/span&gt;An alternative target is January 2012 (144
days from now) and 127.2% of Wave1 (MIMA34fan) about 47.&amp;nbsp; This is shown in the accompanying chart.&amp;nbsp; &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;Note:&amp;nbsp; in June, the 117 days and 89 days are the number of bars from the December 2010 and February 2011 highs.&amp;nbsp; The horizontal yellow line is the Series 6 Fractal 7 PhiBo 214.&amp;nbsp; If you put PhiBo144 on the chart and look at it in Series 4, 5 and 6, you will also see that the February 2011 high is probably an area of strong resistance.&amp;nbsp; Also, add PhiBo610 (will show in Series 4 only.)&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;Does all this analysis mean that it will happen?&amp;nbsp; No.&amp;nbsp; But it does provide a PhiCube logical framework for evaluating TBT&amp;#39;s price behavior.&amp;nbsp; Adjust as necessary until the &amp;quot;model&amp;quot; fails or succeeds.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;This is another example of the effectiveness of using PhiCube &amp;quot;time&amp;quot; for spotting potentially significant ends of trends.&amp;nbsp; You might look at this in longer time frames to evaluate how significant this turning point might be and where price could go in the future.&amp;nbsp; You can use the Crosshairs tool for identifying future dates when your analysis shows conditions of possible PhiCube importance.&amp;nbsp; Click on chart to enlarge it.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="color:#ff8000;font-size:x-small;"&gt;&lt;b&gt;FWIW - On the daily DJIA, there is currently a confluence of Time occurring. It is composed of Series 6, fractals 3, 4, 5 and 6. Fuzzy time is from now to 5 bars from now. &lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;The benefit of an exercise like this as shown on the chart is to build a framework of expectations.&amp;nbsp; You can then test the &amp;quot;hypothesis&amp;quot; and make adjustments as needed as time passes.&amp;nbsp; &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;If price develops along an expectation, you can use your technical analysis tools to refine your trade entries and exits.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Of course, analysis such as this can be done for any symbol in which you have interest if there is sufficient data.&amp;nbsp; If there is a very wide range between high and low on your chart, like 10 to 100, or vice versa, like 100 to 10, you will need to make adjustments in order to make indicators &amp;quot;legible&amp;quot;.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.teamtraderpro.com/cfs-file.ashx/__key/CommunityServer.Blogs.Components.WeblogFiles/richardcarlinblog/SPY-_2D00_-Breakout.png"&gt;&lt;img border="0" src="http://www.teamtraderpro.com/resized-image.ashx/__size/550x0/__key/CommunityServer.Blogs.Components.WeblogFiles/richardcarlinblog/SPY-_2D00_-Breakout.png" alt="" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;This is a nice setup for a buy, however on the 90 minute chart the SPY completed a bearish ascending wedge (ending diagonal), broke down from it, and then moved back up to test the underside of the wedge and then turned down as if a successful test.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.teamtraderpro.com/cfs-file.ashx/__key/CommunityServer.Blogs.Components.WeblogFiles/richardcarlinblog/Spy-Ending-Diagonal.png"&gt;&lt;img border="0" src="http://www.teamtraderpro.com/resized-image.ashx/__size/550x0/__key/CommunityServer.Blogs.Components.WeblogFiles/richardcarlinblog/Spy-Ending-Diagonal.png" alt="" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;This is a nice setup for a sell.&amp;nbsp; &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;So&amp;nbsp;now it is just a waiting game to see which chart pattern wins out.&amp;nbsp; A move to a new high in the rally will be bullish, a break of the daily trendline to the downside will be bearish.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div style="clear:both;"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;img src="http://www.teamtraderpro.com/aggbug.aspx?PostID=4739" width="1" height="1"&gt;</description></item><item><title>Battle of the Chart Patterns</title><link>http://www.teamtraderpro.com/blogs/richardcarlinblog/archive/2009/04/13/battle-of-the-chart-patterns.aspx</link><pubDate>Mon, 13 Apr 2009 11:31:00 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">37a0b289-f7a0-46eb-84b1-782a6f8ddeaf:4240</guid><dc:creator>Richard Carlin</dc:creator><slash:comments>0</slash:comments><description>&lt;p&gt;As we open this Monday we have a bullish and a bearish pattern in the S&amp;amp;P 500 index.&amp;nbsp;On Friday we had a nice breakout up through the down trendline in the SP500.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.teamtraderpro.com/cfs-file.ashx/__key/CommunityServer.Blogs.Components.WeblogFiles/richardcarlinblog/SPYTrendline.png"&gt;&lt;img border="0" src="http://www.teamtraderpro.com/resized-image.ashx/__size/550x0/__key/CommunityServer.Blogs.Components.WeblogFiles/richardcarlinblog/SPYTrendline.png" alt="" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Not only did this&amp;nbsp;breakout close on the daily and weekly chart but it also occurred on higher volume giving it more validity.&amp;nbsp; This argues that we have more upside in the near term.&amp;nbsp; However, the SP500 has also traced out&amp;nbsp;what appears to be a complete&amp;nbsp;rising wedge (or ending diagonal) .&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.teamtraderpro.com/cfs-file.ashx/__key/CommunityServer.Blogs.Components.WeblogFiles/richardcarlinblog/SPY-_2D00_-EndingDiagonal.png"&gt;&lt;img border="0" src="http://www.teamtraderpro.com/resized-image.ashx/__size/550x0/__key/CommunityServer.Blogs.Components.WeblogFiles/richardcarlinblog/SPY-_2D00_-EndingDiagonal.png" alt="" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;This argues for a downward correction short term. It will interesting to see which pattern prevails short term.&amp;nbsp; Ending diagonals break down about 80% of the time and quickly retrace to the start of the pattern which for this pattern is around 770, however, 20% of the time they break out to the upside of the ending diagonal.&amp;nbsp; Although rare, if&amp;nbsp;they break out to the upside they can have a very powerful up move. &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;It will be interesting to see which pattern prevails short term.&amp;nbsp; Personally, I tend to favor the correction a bit more than a continued upside move just because the market is very overbought.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div style="clear:both;"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;img src="http://www.teamtraderpro.com/aggbug.aspx?PostID=4240" width="1" height="1"&gt;</description><category domain="http://www.teamtraderpro.com/blogs/richardcarlinblog/archive/tags/Market/default.aspx">Market</category><category domain="http://www.teamtraderpro.com/blogs/richardcarlinblog/archive/tags/SP500/default.aspx">SP500</category></item><item><title>Interesting Charts</title><link>http://www.teamtraderpro.com/blogs/richardcarlinblog/archive/2009/04/05/interesting-patterns.aspx</link><pubDate>Sun, 05 Apr 2009 13:50:00 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">37a0b289-f7a0-46eb-84b1-782a6f8ddeaf:4063</guid><dc:creator>Richard Carlin</dc:creator><slash:comments>0</slash:comments><description>&lt;p&gt;Well Its clear by now that the last down wave was already completed and we are in a good bear market rally.&amp;nbsp; I say&amp;nbsp;bear market rally and not a bull move&amp;nbsp;for three reasons.&amp;nbsp; First, no bear market has ended before the end of the 4 year cycle since World War II and that cycle doesn&amp;#39;t end until mid next year.&amp;nbsp; Second, We do not have a base for a new bull market, at some point the low is going to be tested. Thirdly, this market have risen faster than any other market since the 1930&amp;#39;s.&amp;nbsp; Bull market tend to be slow and plodding coming off strong bases, bear market rallies are quick, and come out of nowhere with no bases.&amp;nbsp; &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;This market has managed to get back above SP500 800 which is the neckline of the huge double top in the SP500.&amp;nbsp; As long as it is above that level you can&amp;#39;t be intermediate term bearish.&amp;nbsp; How&amp;nbsp;far&amp;nbsp;will it go, well bear market rallies go till their exhausted, so there isn&amp;#39;t really any good way to tell but we can put some boundaries on it.&amp;nbsp; Most bear markets do not significantly get back above the 200 day moving average.&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; Currently on the SP500 that is at 973 so we can say SP500 1000 should be an upper boundary.&amp;nbsp; Below we have a daily chart of the SP500&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.teamtraderpro.com/cfs-file.ashx/__key/CommunityServer.Blogs.Components.WeblogFiles/richardcarlinblog/Chart-_2D00_-SP500Daily.png"&gt;&lt;img border="0" src="http://www.teamtraderpro.com/resized-image.ashx/__size/550x0/__key/CommunityServer.Blogs.Components.WeblogFiles/richardcarlinblog/Chart-_2D00_-SP500Daily.png" alt="" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;There a couple of things to note.&amp;nbsp; First, the SP500 appears to have broken out of a reverse head and shoulders as have a number of other indexes.&amp;nbsp; This suggests we may only be halfway up in the rally.&amp;nbsp; However, there is a another strong trendline just above it which could stop the upswing for a counter trend correction.&amp;nbsp; Also, I have marked an area of heavy congestion just above the SP500 between the two horizontal trendlines.&amp;nbsp; So if we continue to go up, the probabilities say it will be much more choppy that the start of the rally.&amp;nbsp; We are also very short term overbought so the resistance just above the SP500 could mark the start of a correction.&amp;nbsp; Watch the reverse head and shoulders trendline, as long as we stay above it everything is good (the reverse head and shoulder projects a little above SP500 1000).&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The NASDAQ has an even better pattern.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.teamtraderpro.com/cfs-file.ashx/__key/CommunityServer.Blogs.Components.WeblogFiles/richardcarlinblog/Chart-_2D00_-Nasdaq.png"&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.teamtraderpro.com/cfs-file.ashx/__key/CommunityServer.Blogs.Components.WeblogFiles/richardcarlinblog/Chart-_2D00_-Nasdaq.png"&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.teamtraderpro.com/cfs-file.ashx/__key/CommunityServer.Blogs.Components.WeblogFiles/richardcarlinblog/Chart-_2D00_-Nasdaq2.png"&gt;&lt;img border="0" src="http://www.teamtraderpro.com/resized-image.ashx/__size/550x0/__key/CommunityServer.Blogs.Components.WeblogFiles/richardcarlinblog/Chart-_2D00_-Nasdaq2.png" alt="" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The Q&amp;#39;s do have a nice base and they have broken out of the double bottom base to the upside.&amp;nbsp; As long as they stay above the base upper boundary , the pattern projects a move to just above 37.&amp;nbsp; They wont go straight up because you can see significant resistance at 34 where both the 200 EMA and the Andrew&amp;#39;s pitchfork show resistance.&amp;nbsp; If they cant hold above base upper boundary then the bear market rally&amp;nbsp;may be&amp;nbsp;running out of steam. &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;Something to keep an eye on is the energy stocks because they may be&amp;nbsp;forming nice bases. Below is a chart of the Oil Service Holders.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.teamtraderpro.com/cfs-file.ashx/__key/CommunityServer.Blogs.Components.WeblogFiles/richardcarlinblog/Chart-_2D00_-OIH.png"&gt;&lt;img border="0" src="http://www.teamtraderpro.com/resized-image.ashx/__size/550x0/__key/CommunityServer.Blogs.Components.WeblogFiles/richardcarlinblog/Chart-_2D00_-OIH.png" alt="" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;They&amp;nbsp;are tracing out a symmetrical&amp;nbsp;triangle forming.&amp;nbsp; A breakout above the upper trendline would indicate a nice breakout from a solid base.&amp;nbsp; However, a triangle can also break to the downside, which would indicate another down wave in its bear market, but it is something to keep an eye on.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Another chart to keep and eye on is the Dollar Index.&amp;nbsp; Below is a chart of UUP.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.teamtraderpro.com/cfs-file.ashx/__key/CommunityServer.Blogs.Components.WeblogFiles/richardcarlinblog/Chart-_2D00_-Dollar.png"&gt;&lt;img border="0" src="http://www.teamtraderpro.com/resized-image.ashx/__size/550x0/__key/CommunityServer.Blogs.Components.WeblogFiles/richardcarlinblog/Chart-_2D00_-Dollar.png" alt="" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;This chart shows a potential failed test of the high.&amp;nbsp; If this index breaks the 9 month up trendline line, the dollar could be in for a big fall as the massive Fed dollar printing machine starts to kick in.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="FONT-SIZE:11pt;MARGIN:0in;FONT-FAMILY:Calibri;"&gt;The last four days have had nice strong rally with two 90% up days.&lt;span style="mso-spacerun:yes;"&gt;&amp;nbsp; &lt;/span&gt;However, we are still below the down trendlines which keeps us looking at the market in bear mode.&lt;span style="mso-spacerun:yes;"&gt;&amp;nbsp; &lt;/span&gt;If we step back and look at the big picture on a monthly chart, the SP 500 has broken down from a double top.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p style="FONT-SIZE:11pt;MARGIN:0in;FONT-FAMILY:Calibri;"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p style="MARGIN:0in;"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href="http://www.teamtraderpro.com/cfs-file.ashx/__key/CommunityServer.Blogs.Components.WeblogFiles/richardcarlinblog/SP500DoubleTop.png"&gt;&lt;img border="0" src="http://www.teamtraderpro.com/resized-image.ashx/__size/550x0/__key/CommunityServer.Blogs.Components.WeblogFiles/richardcarlinblog/SP500DoubleTop.png" alt="" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p style="FONT-SIZE:11pt;MARGIN:0in;FONT-FAMILY:Calibri;"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p style="FONT-SIZE:11pt;MARGIN:0in;FONT-FAMILY:Calibri;"&gt;Shortly after a breakdown from a double top or head and shoulders top, a stock or market will frequently bounce back up and test the neckline of the top before heading down.&lt;span style="mso-spacerun:yes;"&gt;&amp;nbsp; &lt;/span&gt;This is what appears to be happening now.&lt;span style="mso-spacerun:yes;"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; &lt;/span&gt;The neckline of this top is somewhere between 768-812 depending on whether you use the intraday price or the close price.&lt;span style="mso-spacerun:yes;"&gt;&amp;nbsp; &lt;/span&gt;Any failed test of the neckline projects the S&amp;amp;P500 will eventually fall to around 400.&lt;span style="mso-spacerun:yes;"&gt;&amp;nbsp; &lt;/span&gt;If we look at daily chart we can get a little more information.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="FONT-SIZE:11pt;MARGIN:0in;FONT-FAMILY:Calibri;"&gt;We have what appears to be a potential five down and, if so, we appear to be in the fourth wave countertrend.&lt;span style="mso-spacerun:yes;"&gt;&amp;nbsp; &lt;/span&gt;But also note we area approaching the double top neckline region which also is where the current down trendline is.&lt;span style="mso-spacerun:yes;"&gt;&amp;nbsp; &lt;/span&gt;As long as we stay below that trendline (780) you have to be thinking bear.&lt;span style="mso-spacerun:yes;"&gt;&amp;nbsp; &lt;/span&gt;If we break that trendline and get back above the neckline, we have to get more bullish because we may have a good rally for awhile.&lt;span style="mso-spacerun:yes;"&gt;&amp;nbsp; &lt;/span&gt;However, I am of the opinion we will be heading back down into what could be a very nasty 5th wave down.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p style="FONT-SIZE:11pt;MARGIN:0in;FONT-FAMILY:Calibri;"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p style="FONT-SIZE:11pt;MARGIN:0in;FONT-FAMILY:Calibri;"&gt;We are currently overbought in a number of short term indicators such as the McClellan Oscillator, Swenlin trading oscillator, short term trading oscillator, overbought/oversold oscillator, and the composite santo1 oscillator (shown below) suggesting this short term up move will end shortly.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p style="FONT-SIZE:11pt;MARGIN:0in;FONT-FAMILY:Calibri;"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p style="MARGIN:0in;"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href="http://www.teamtraderpro.com/cfs-file.ashx/__key/CommunityServer.Blogs.Components.WeblogFiles/richardcarlinblog/SP500PHIST1.png"&gt;&lt;img border="0" src="http://www.teamtraderpro.com/resized-image.ashx/__size/550x0/__key/CommunityServer.Blogs.Components.WeblogFiles/richardcarlinblog/SP500PHIST1.png" alt="" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p style="FONT-SIZE:11pt;MARGIN:0in;FONT-FAMILY:Calibri;"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p style="FONT-SIZE:11pt;MARGIN:0in;FONT-FAMILY:Calibri;"&gt;For the intermediate term, however, there are two studies that are particularly bothering me.&lt;span style="mso-spacerun:yes;"&gt;&amp;nbsp; &lt;/span&gt;The first is the 10 day CBOE Put/Call ratio.&lt;span style="mso-spacerun:yes;"&gt;&amp;nbsp; &lt;/span&gt;The ratio is hovering around an area (0.85) that has marked every top in the bear market so far.&lt;span style="mso-spacerun:yes;"&gt;&amp;nbsp; &lt;/span&gt;Even on the last decline the ratio failed to rise much indicating there is a lot of short bullishness that we have seen the low of this bear market.&lt;span style="mso-spacerun:yes;"&gt;&amp;nbsp; &lt;/span&gt;It is a rare day when the majority are right.&lt;span style="mso-spacerun:yes;"&gt;&amp;nbsp; &lt;/span&gt;Also, the worst values of the 10 day CBOE put/call ratio are 10 days ago, meaning every day from now on that the market goes up, the 10 day average will drop sharply.&lt;span style="mso-spacerun:yes;"&gt;&amp;nbsp; &lt;/span&gt;A few days up and it will probably read the lowest value of the bear market (even now we are matching the readings at the bull market top).&lt;span style="mso-spacerun:yes;"&gt;&amp;nbsp; &lt;/span&gt;This ratio will usually spike to over 1.2 at a good intermediate low.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p style="FONT-SIZE:11pt;MARGIN:0in;FONT-FAMILY:Calibri;"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p style="FONT-SIZE:11pt;MARGIN:0in;FONT-FAMILY:Calibri;"&gt;The second thing bothering me is the free fall in the mortgage derivatives lately. &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p style="FONT-SIZE:11pt;MARGIN:0in;FONT-FAMILY:Calibri;"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p style="FONT-SIZE:11pt;MARGIN:0in;FONT-FAMILY:Calibri;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.markit.com/information/products/category/indices/abx/history_graphs.html"&gt;http://www.markit.com/information/products/category/indices/abx/history_graphs.html&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p style="FONT-SIZE:11pt;MARGIN:0in;FONT-FAMILY:Calibri;"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p style="FONT-SIZE:11pt;MARGIN:0in;FONT-FAMILY:Calibri;"&gt;While everyone is getting excited about a new bull market in the financials, a new tsunami has just rushed in and is rapidly eroding away what foundation the financials have left. &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p style="FONT-SIZE:11pt;MARGIN:0in;FONT-FAMILY:Calibri;"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p style="FONT-SIZE:11pt;MARGIN:0in;FONT-FAMILY:Calibri;"&gt;Since this bear market has the appearance of a parabolic decline, the usually outcome is the 5th wave ends up the worst wave down and this is what I see happening.&lt;span style="mso-spacerun:yes;"&gt;&amp;nbsp; &lt;/span&gt;But caution is warranted because 5th waves are the most unreliable of waves, not only can they be the worst wave they can also truncate and not even hit a new low.&lt;span style="mso-spacerun:yes;"&gt;&amp;nbsp; &lt;/span&gt;The other thing to what out for is the current fourth wave may trace out a triangle instead of an&amp;nbsp;zigzag which would mean a lot of chop coming up before we drop.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div style="clear:both;"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;img src="http://www.teamtraderpro.com/aggbug.aspx?PostID=2455" width="1" height="1"&gt;</description><category domain="http://www.teamtraderpro.com/blogs/richardcarlinblog/archive/tags/Market/default.aspx">Market</category><category domain="http://www.teamtraderpro.com/blogs/richardcarlinblog/archive/tags/SP500/default.aspx">SP500</category></item><item><title>Multi Week Rally Only Lasted Two Days</title><link>http://www.teamtraderpro.com/blogs/richardcarlinblog/archive/2009/02/27/multi-week-rally-only-lasted-two-days.aspx</link><pubDate>Fri, 27 Feb 2009 14:02:00 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">37a0b289-f7a0-46eb-84b1-782a6f8ddeaf:573</guid><dc:creator>Richard Carlin</dc:creator><slash:comments>0</slash:comments><description>&lt;p style="margin:0in 0in 10pt;" class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:small;font-family:Calibri;"&gt;Well, when everything points to good rally and nothing happens it is time to look out.&lt;span style="mso-spacerun:yes;"&gt;&amp;nbsp; &lt;/span&gt;As I pointed out in chat yesterday the QQQQ and the SPY broke their two day up trendlines to the downside aborting the uptrend.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p style="margin:0in 0in 10pt;" class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:small;font-family:Calibri;"&gt;We can get a very nasty down swing here.&lt;span style="mso-spacerun:yes;"&gt;&amp;nbsp; &lt;/span&gt;The Q&amp;#39;s have broken down from a double top projecting a move to their bear market low.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p style="margin:0in 0in 10pt;tab-stops:114.0pt;" class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:small;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Calibri;"&gt;&lt;span style="mso-tab-count:1;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.teamtraderpro.com/cfs-file.ashx/__key/CommunityServer.Blogs.Components.WeblogFiles/richardcarlinblog/QsDoubleTop.png"&gt;&lt;img border="0" src="http://www.teamtraderpro.com/resized-image.ashx/__size/550x0/__key/CommunityServer.Blogs.Components.WeblogFiles/richardcarlinblog/QsDoubleTop.png" alt="" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p style="margin:0in 0in 10pt;" class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:small;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Calibri;"&gt;But even more ominous, the SPY and DIA are breaking to new bear market lows this morning.&lt;span style="mso-spacerun:yes;"&gt;&amp;nbsp; &lt;/span&gt;Once they firmly break the 2002/2003 there is nothing but air below them.&lt;span style="mso-spacerun:yes;"&gt;&amp;nbsp; &lt;/span&gt;The double top in the SPY projects another 50% decline before the bear markets ends.&lt;span style="mso-spacerun:yes;"&gt;&amp;nbsp; The double top projects the SPY to eventually fall to 44 and the SP500 to around 440 probably sometime next year when the 4 year cycle bottoms.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.teamtraderpro.com/cfs-file.ashx/__key/CommunityServer.Blogs.Components.WeblogFiles/richardcarlinblog/SPYTOP.png"&gt;&lt;img border="0" src="http://www.teamtraderpro.com/resized-image.ashx/__size/550x0/__key/CommunityServer.Blogs.Components.WeblogFiles/richardcarlinblog/SPYTOP.png" alt="" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;But the next move&amp;nbsp;could be treacherous because the down swing is not occurring from short term overbought conditions it is occurring&amp;nbsp;from short term oversold conditions meaning a quick counter trend rally can surprise you&amp;nbsp; at any time.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div style="clear:both;"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;img src="http://www.teamtraderpro.com/aggbug.aspx?PostID=573" width="1" height="1"&gt;</description><category domain="http://www.teamtraderpro.com/blogs/richardcarlinblog/archive/tags/Market/default.aspx">Market</category></item><item><title>Multi  Week Low at Hand</title><link>http://www.teamtraderpro.com/blogs/richardcarlinblog/archive/2009/02/22/multi-week-low-at-hand.aspx</link><pubDate>Sun, 22 Feb 2009 19:50:00 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">37a0b289-f7a0-46eb-84b1-782a6f8ddeaf:100</guid><dc:creator>Richard Carlin</dc:creator><slash:comments>0</slash:comments><description>&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:small;font-family:Calibri;"&gt;Technically, the market appears to be at a multi week low based upon divergences, short term oversold indicators, and by chart patterns.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:small;font-family:Calibri;"&gt;In the last two days the Dow Jones Industrial average has fallen to new bear markets lows, however it is not being confirmed by a number of other indexes.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:small;font-family:Calibri;"&gt;1) The Nasdaq Composite, The NYSE Composite Index, the Standard &amp;amp; Poor&amp;#39;s 500, The Nasdaq 100, the Russell 2000, and the Wilshire 5000 have not hit new bear market lows.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:small;font-family:Calibri;"&gt;2) The advance decline has not hit new lows.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:small;font-family:Calibri;"&gt;3) Only six of 33 industry groups have hit new bear market lows since November, in November the number of industry groups hitting new lows was in the upper&lt;span style="mso-spacerun:yes;"&gt;&amp;nbsp; &lt;/span&gt;twenties.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:small;font-family:Calibri;"&gt;4) The number of common stocks hitting new 52 week lows was only 348 Friday vs over 1000 last Oct and Nov.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:small;font-family:Calibri;"&gt;5) The santo4 shows positive divergences on the daily, the 60, and the 20 minute charts.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:small;font-family:Calibri;"&gt;These kinds of divergences usually precede good lows.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:small;font-family:Calibri;"&gt;All the indexes have nice descending wedges (ending diagonals) on the 20 minute charts.&lt;span style="mso-spacerun:yes;"&gt;&amp;nbsp; &lt;/span&gt;This is one of my favorite type of patterns for reversals.&lt;span style="mso-spacerun:yes;"&gt;&amp;nbsp; &lt;/span&gt;Friday showed a throw over to the downside which quickly reversed followed by a breakout to the upside in the Qs and the financials.&lt;span style="mso-spacerun:yes;"&gt;&amp;nbsp; &lt;/span&gt;What we need now is a breakout to the upside in the futures, dia, and spy.&lt;span style="mso-spacerun:yes;"&gt;&amp;nbsp; &lt;/span&gt;Remember when a descending wedge breaks back through the upper trendline it usually moves very fast back to the base of the formation. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:small;font-family:Calibri;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.teamtraderpro.com/cfs-file.ashx/__key/CommunityServer.Blogs.Components.WeblogFiles/richardcarlinblog/NasdaqED.png"&gt;&lt;img border="0" src="http://www.teamtraderpro.com/resized-image.ashx/__size/550x0/__key/CommunityServer.Blogs.Components.WeblogFiles/richardcarlinblog/NasdaqED.png" alt="" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:small;font-family:Calibri;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.teamtraderpro.com/cfs-file.ashx/__key/CommunityServer.Blogs.Components.WeblogFiles/richardcarlinblog/DIAED.png"&gt;&lt;img border="0" src="http://www.teamtraderpro.com/resized-image.ashx/__size/550x0/__key/CommunityServer.Blogs.Components.WeblogFiles/richardcarlinblog/DIAED.png" alt="" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:small;font-family:Calibri;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.teamtraderpro.com/cfs-file.ashx/__key/CommunityServer.Blogs.Components.WeblogFiles/richardcarlinblog/SP500ED.png"&gt;&lt;img border="0" src="http://www.teamtraderpro.com/resized-image.ashx/__size/550x0/__key/CommunityServer.Blogs.Components.WeblogFiles/richardcarlinblog/SP500ED.png" alt="" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:small;font-family:Calibri;"&gt;On a bigger scale it looks like we might have completed the B wave of wave 4 down in the bear market.&lt;span style="mso-spacerun:yes;"&gt;&amp;nbsp; &lt;/span&gt;If this is the case we either have a very strong C wave up or we complete a C wave of a larger 4th wave triangle.&lt;span style="mso-spacerun:yes;"&gt;&amp;nbsp; &lt;/span&gt;One could make the case the wave 5 of the bear has started but there is a problem with this, even a long wave 5 would be over within nine months bringing the end of the bear market way too far in front of the 4 year cycle.&lt;span style="mso-spacerun:yes;"&gt;&amp;nbsp; &lt;/span&gt;A 4th wave extending into late spring times better with the 4 year cycle.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:small;font-family:Calibri;"&gt;DIA - Daily 4th wave triangle&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:small;font-family:Calibri;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.teamtraderpro.com/cfs-file.ashx/__key/CommunityServer.Blogs.Components.WeblogFiles/richardcarlinblog/SPY4thTriangle.png"&gt;&lt;img border="0" src="http://www.teamtraderpro.com/resized-image.ashx/__size/550x0/__key/CommunityServer.Blogs.Components.WeblogFiles/richardcarlinblog/SPY4thTriangle.png" alt="" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:small;font-family:Calibri;"&gt;DIA - Daily 4th wave abc&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:small;font-family:Calibri;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.teamtraderpro.com/cfs-file.ashx/__key/CommunityServer.Blogs.Components.WeblogFiles/richardcarlinblog/SPY4thwaveabc.png"&gt;&lt;img border="0" src="http://www.teamtraderpro.com/resized-image.ashx/__size/550x0/__key/CommunityServer.Blogs.Components.WeblogFiles/richardcarlinblog/SPY4thwaveabc.png" alt="" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:small;font-family:Calibri;"&gt;I feel we are going to do the triangle scenario but cannot rule a stronger C wave in an abc.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:small;font-family:Calibri;"&gt;
&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;What about the short term indicators&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;1) The McClellan Oscillator if now oversold at -300&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;2) The overbought/oversold index is at levels where short term rallies occur.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;3) The Short term volume oscillator is at levels where short term rallies occur.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;4) We had a phi mate turn date last week.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;5) We has a Fibonacci turn cluster last week through Monday.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;6) We also had a Bradley turn point last week.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;7) The composite PHI.ST1 index is at levels where rallies have occurred in the bear market&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;DIA vs PHI.ST1 index - Daily&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.teamtraderpro.com/cfs-file.ashx/__key/CommunityServer.Blogs.Components.WeblogFiles/richardcarlinblog/PHIST1.png"&gt;&lt;img border="0" src="http://www.teamtraderpro.com/resized-image.ashx/__size/550x0/__key/CommunityServer.Blogs.Components.WeblogFiles/richardcarlinblog/PHIST1.png" alt="" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;
&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;Even though technical things look like a low always be careful because this is a vicious bear market unlike anything we have seen since the 1930s and I as have always said money trumps technicals.&lt;span style="mso-spacerun:yes;"&gt;&amp;nbsp; &lt;/span&gt;If there is another wave of credit defaults it can cause money to drop and supply to increase so caveat emptor.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div style="clear:both;"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;img src="http://www.teamtraderpro.com/aggbug.aspx?PostID=100" width="1" height="1"&gt;</description><category domain="http://www.teamtraderpro.com/blogs/richardcarlinblog/archive/tags/Market/default.aspx">Market</category></item><item><title>Precious metals starting to glitter?

&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.teamtraderpro.com/cfs-file.ashx/__key/CommunityServer.Blogs.Components.WeblogFiles/richardcarlinblog/DollarTop.jpg"&gt;&lt;img border="0" src="http://www.teamtraderpro.com/resized-image.ashx/__size/550x0/__key/CommunityServer.Blogs.Components.WeblogFiles/richardcarlinblog/DollarTop.jpg" alt="" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;In reverse, gold and sliver&amp;nbsp;may have ended their bear market and appear to be&amp;nbsp;starting to resume their upswings.&amp;nbsp; Gold&amp;nbsp;is trying to break&amp;nbsp;out of its bear market down trend line and&amp;nbsp;may complete what&amp;nbsp;might be a flag on the monthly charts.&amp;nbsp; Commercial shorting in the last month in the gold and silver futures&amp;nbsp;have&amp;nbsp;been at levels that have corresponding to good rallies over the last 10 years.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.teamtraderpro.com/cfs-file.ashx/__key/CommunityServer.Blogs.Components.WeblogFiles/richardcarlinblog/Gold-Trendline.jpg"&gt;&lt;img border="0" src="http://www.teamtraderpro.com/resized-image.ashx/__size/550x0/__key/CommunityServer.Blogs.Components.WeblogFiles/richardcarlinblog/Gold-Trendline.jpg" alt="" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.teamtraderpro.com/cfs-file.ashx/__key/CommunityServer.Blogs.Components.WeblogFiles/richardcarlinblog/Gold-Flag.jpg"&gt;&lt;img border="0" src="http://www.teamtraderpro.com/resized-image.ashx/__size/550x0/__key/CommunityServer.Blogs.Components.WeblogFiles/richardcarlinblog/Gold-Flag.jpg" alt="" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;As I discussed before in an earlier blogs Silver&amp;#39;s entire bear market appears to be an ending diagonal.&amp;nbsp; As a general measuring rule, ending diagonals return quickly to the start of the formation.&amp;nbsp; If&amp;nbsp;silver&amp;#39;s decline&amp;nbsp;is an ending diagonal then silver should return to the back of the start of the formation which would be its previous high. Silver also recently formed a triangle bottom, broke out to the upside and came back and tested the upper trend line of the triangle. &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href="http://www.teamtraderpro.com/cfs-file.ashx/__key/CommunityServer.Blogs.Components.WeblogFiles/richardcarlinblog/Silver-Bottom.jpg"&gt;&lt;img border="0" src="http://www.teamtraderpro.com/resized-image.ashx/__size/550x0/__key/CommunityServer.Blogs.Components.WeblogFiles/richardcarlinblog/Silver-Bottom.jpg" alt="" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Oil just hit a new low last week so buying it would be very risky, however, there is a bit of light that oil may have formed at least a short term low.&amp;nbsp; Friday oil appear to have broken up out of what appears to be an ending diagonal. &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.teamtraderpro.com/cfs-file.ashx/__key/CommunityServer.Blogs.Components.WeblogFiles/richardcarlinblog/OilEd.jpg"&gt;&lt;img border="0" src="http://www.teamtraderpro.com/resized-image.ashx/__size/550x0/__key/CommunityServer.Blogs.Components.WeblogFiles/richardcarlinblog/OilEd.jpg" alt="" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div style="clear:both;"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;img src="http://www.teamtraderpro.com/aggbug.aspx?PostID=30" width="1" height="1"&gt;</description><category domain="http://www.teamtraderpro.com/blogs/richardcarlinblog/archive/tags/Silver/default.aspx">Silver</category><category domain="http://www.teamtraderpro.com/blogs/richardcarlinblog/archive/tags/Oil/default.aspx">Oil</category><category domain="http://www.teamtraderpro.com/blogs/richardcarlinblog/archive/tags/Gold/default.aspx">Gold</category></item><item><title>Market at a Short Term CrossRoad</title><link>http://www.teamtraderpro.com/blogs/richardcarlinblog/archive/2008/12/08/market-at-a-short-term-crossroad.aspx</link><pubDate>Mon, 08 Dec 2008 12:57:00 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">37a0b289-f7a0-46eb-84b1-782a6f8ddeaf:28</guid><dc:creator>Richard Carlin</dc:creator><slash:comments>0</slash:comments><description>&lt;p&gt;The market is supporting two contrary technical patterns.&amp;nbsp; The first is bullish.&amp;nbsp; The market is starting to break out of reverse head and shoulders which projects a Dow of at least 10,000&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;For this pattern to be&amp;nbsp;ideal we need to see some good volume on the breakouts. The second pattern is bearish.&amp;nbsp; We also have a descending rectangle trading range and we are approaching the upper trend line.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.teamtraderpro.com/cfs-file.ashx/__key/CommunityServer.Blogs.Components.WeblogFiles/richardcarlinblog/SPY_2D00_DescendingRectangle.jpg"&gt;&lt;img border="0" src="http://www.teamtraderpro.com/resized-image.ashx/__size/550x0/__key/CommunityServer.Blogs.Components.WeblogFiles/richardcarlinblog/SPY_2D00_DescendingRectangle.jpg" alt="" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;If this pattern is in force we will soon hit resistance which will send us back down maybe even to a new low.&amp;nbsp; The very high McClellan argues that we&amp;nbsp;are due&amp;nbsp;a short term correction.&amp;nbsp; To make it even more confusing, maybe both are in effect, we break out of the reverse head and shoulders, hit the upper descending rectangle trend line, then drop back to the head and shoulders neckline, and then head up.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Unfortunately, we wont know which pattern is valid till after the fact, so all we can do now is be aware of both and sit back, watch, and follow the market where it leads us.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div style="clear:both;"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;img src="http://www.teamtraderpro.com/aggbug.aspx?PostID=28" width="1" height="1"&gt;</description><category domain="http://www.teamtraderpro.com/blogs/richardcarlinblog/archive/tags/Market/default.aspx">Market</category></item><item><title>Silver Turning Around</title><link>http://www.teamtraderpro.com/blogs/richardcarlinblog/archive/2008/11/25/silver-turning-around.aspx</link><pubDate>Tue, 25 Nov 2008 22:19:00 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">37a0b289-f7a0-46eb-84b1-782a6f8ddeaf:21</guid><dc:creator>Richard Carlin</dc:creator><slash:comments>0</slash:comments><description>&lt;p&gt;Silver has broken its bear market downtrend line to the upside suggesting the start of a new uptrend. &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;img src="http://teamtraderpro.com/cfs-file.ashx/__key/CommunityServer.Blogs.Components.WeblogFiles/richardcarlinblog/SilverBearBreakout.jpg" alt="" /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:9pt;color:#000000;font-family:&amp;#39;Verdana&amp;#39;,&amp;#39;sans-serif&amp;#39;;"&gt;The formation that it is breaking out of is known as a descending wedge, one of the characteristics of a descending wedge is that they tend to quickly return to where they start, that would be back to 20 dollar an ounce.&amp;nbsp; The pattern is also a form of a triangle which means is could be either the completion of the first wave of a silver bear market or the 4th wave of a great silver bull market.&amp;nbsp; I tend to favor the idea that silver and gold are in a great secular bull market but in either case the formation suggests a good move for silver coming up.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:9pt;color:#000000;font-family:&amp;#39;Verdana&amp;#39;,&amp;#39;sans-serif&amp;#39;;"&gt;What other evidence do we have supporting a good move in silver....&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:9pt;color:#000000;font-family:&amp;#39;Verdana&amp;#39;,&amp;#39;sans-serif&amp;#39;;"&gt;1) The daily Santo 4 study is showing a powerful positive divergence on the last two lows.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:9pt;color:#000000;font-family:&amp;#39;Verdana&amp;#39;,&amp;#39;sans-serif&amp;#39;;"&gt;2) The precious metals have a six year cycle that bottoms in 2008 and we are almost out of 2008.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:9pt;color:#000000;font-family:&amp;#39;Verdana&amp;#39;,&amp;#39;sans-serif&amp;#39;;"&gt;3) You cannot buy the metal under 15 dollars an ounce.&amp;nbsp; If you don&amp;#39;t&amp;#39; believe me goto &lt;a href="http://www.ebay.com/"&gt;www.ebay.com&lt;/a&gt; and search for silver and price what silver is going for.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:9pt;color:#000000;font-family:&amp;#39;Verdana&amp;#39;,&amp;#39;sans-serif&amp;#39;;"&gt;4) And of course let&amp;#39;s not forget the government and Fed&amp;nbsp;have open the printing presses wide.&amp;nbsp; They might not cause inflation today or tomorrow but it is coming, you can&amp;#39;t increase the Fed monetary base by 78% year over year&amp;nbsp; (and accelerating)without it eventually pouring into inflation which are the precious metals bread and butter.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div style="clear:both;"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;img src="http://www.teamtraderpro.com/aggbug.aspx?PostID=21" width="1" height="1"&gt;</description><category domain="http://www.teamtraderpro.com/blogs/richardcarlinblog/archive/tags/Silver/default.aspx">Silver</category></item><item><title>The market appears to approaching an intermediate low.</title><link>http://www.teamtraderpro.com/blogs/richardcarlinblog/archive/2008/11/23/the-market-appears-to-approaching-an-intermediate-low.aspx</link><pubDate>Sun, 23 Nov 2008 18:50:00 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">37a0b289-f7a0-46eb-84b1-782a6f8ddeaf:10</guid><dc:creator>Richard Carlin</dc:creator><slash:comments>0</slash:comments><description>&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:9pt;color:#000000;font-family:&amp;#39;Verdana&amp;#39;,&amp;#39;sans-serif&amp;#39;;"&gt;The market appears to be approaching an intermediate low shortly.&amp;nbsp; There have been three waves down from the last bull market high and we currently are in wave 5 of the last wave.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;img src="http://teamtraderpro.com/cfs-file.ashx/__key/CommunityServer.Blogs.Components.WeblogFiles/carlinsoftwareblog/Spy5WaveDown.jpg" alt="" /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;And within this 5th wave we appear to be forming an ending diagonal or descending wedge formation &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;img src="http://teamtraderpro.com/cfs-file.ashx/__key/CommunityServer.Blogs.Components.WeblogFiles/carlinsoftwareblog/SPYEndingDiagonal.jpg" alt="" /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:9pt;color:#000000;font-family:&amp;#39;Verdana&amp;#39;,&amp;#39;sans-serif&amp;#39;;"&gt;The ending diagonal is one of my favorite technical formations because price tends to break out of the pattern in the opposite direction of the triangle and tends to move fast back to the start of the formation. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:9pt;font-family:&amp;#39;Verdana&amp;#39;,&amp;#39;sans-serif&amp;#39;;"&gt;This suggests a final down move to around Dow 7000 (the pattern is also in the Dow) and a final low near the start of December with a quick 2500 point rebound over the next 2-6 weeks.&lt;span style="mso-spacerun:yes;"&gt;&amp;nbsp; &lt;/span&gt;Just a word of caution, the very last wave of a down move can be very unpredictable, sometimes it will truncate and not hit a new low and other times can be the worst part of a downswing. The main point is we appear to be near the end whether we drop a few hundred points or drop into the 6000s before the end of the month.&lt;span style="color:#000000;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:9pt;line-height:115%;font-family:&amp;#39;Verdana&amp;#39;,&amp;#39;sans-serif&amp;#39;;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:9pt;line-height:115%;font-family:&amp;#39;Verdana&amp;#39;,&amp;#39;sans-serif&amp;#39;;"&gt;What is some of the evidence for a low.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:9pt;line-height:115%;font-family:&amp;#39;Verdana&amp;#39;,&amp;#39;sans-serif&amp;#39;;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:9pt;line-height:115%;font-family:&amp;#39;Verdana&amp;#39;,&amp;#39;sans-serif&amp;#39;;"&gt;1) Most market averages are in the range of their 2002/2003 lows, this should offer strong support, at least for a bounce.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:9pt;line-height:115%;font-family:&amp;#39;Verdana&amp;#39;,&amp;#39;sans-serif&amp;#39;;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:9pt;line-height:115%;font-family:&amp;#39;Verdana&amp;#39;,&amp;#39;sans-serif&amp;#39;;"&gt;2) At the last low the market has retraced about 50% of the secular bull market from 1980, another common place of support, at least for a bounce.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:9pt;line-height:115%;font-family:&amp;#39;Verdana&amp;#39;,&amp;#39;sans-serif&amp;#39;;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:9pt;line-height:115%;font-family:&amp;#39;Verdana&amp;#39;,&amp;#39;sans-serif&amp;#39;;"&gt;3) The Ten day Trin index (a good measure of panic) has been above 1.5 for almost a month, a level historical associated with good intermediate lows. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:9pt;line-height:115%;font-family:&amp;#39;Verdana&amp;#39;,&amp;#39;sans-serif&amp;#39;;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:9pt;line-height:115%;font-family:&amp;#39;Verdana&amp;#39;,&amp;#39;sans-serif&amp;#39;;"&gt;4) a number of internal positive divergences have been showing up since the Oct low in the number of stock making new lows, in the McClellan Oscillator, in the equity Put/Call ratio is a bottom levels, in the Swenlin trading oscillator, in the short term volume oscillator, the daily santo4 index, and &lt;span style="mso-spacerun:yes;"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;the number of bearish advisors (I know the more bearish the advisors are the more bullish the outlook but frequently there is a divergence in advisor sentiment between the market internal low and actual low).&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:9pt;line-height:115%;font-family:&amp;#39;Verdana&amp;#39;,&amp;#39;sans-serif&amp;#39;;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:9pt;line-height:115%;font-family:&amp;#39;Verdana&amp;#39;,&amp;#39;sans-serif&amp;#39;;"&gt;5) Sentiment is rapidly getting very bearish with the constant calls of time to buy, you can&amp;#39;t lose money over the long term, and other calls of that type diminishing rapidly.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:9pt;line-height:115%;font-family:&amp;#39;Verdana&amp;#39;,&amp;#39;sans-serif&amp;#39;;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:9pt;line-height:115%;font-family:&amp;#39;Verdana&amp;#39;,&amp;#39;sans-serif&amp;#39;;"&gt;Even though technically it appears an intermediate low is close at hand, there is a caveat.&lt;span style="mso-spacerun:yes;"&gt;&amp;nbsp; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:9pt;line-height:115%;font-family:&amp;#39;Verdana&amp;#39;,&amp;#39;sans-serif&amp;#39;;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:9pt;line-height:115%;font-family:&amp;#39;Verdana&amp;#39;,&amp;#39;sans-serif&amp;#39;;"&gt;The market is falling because of a debt collapse, money is disappearing in the markets and money trumps technicals. The market is based upon supply and demand and if the collapse in assets continues so does the market.&lt;span style="mso-spacerun:yes;"&gt;&amp;nbsp; &lt;/span&gt;When we do form a low the following up move should have a lot of power behind it, &lt;span style="mso-spacerun:yes;"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;we should see a day with over 90% of the volume to the upside, followed by a strong second or third day, sometimes we haven&amp;#39;t seen in a while.&lt;span style="mso-spacerun:yes;"&gt;&amp;nbsp; &lt;/span&gt;Another thing to watch is the ending diagonal, it might break down on the wrong side of the triangle it occurs about 80% of the time), a little fake break down is common also known as a throw over, but a breakdown of large size or time suggests the market is still too weak to create a meaningful rally.&lt;span style="mso-spacerun:yes;"&gt;&amp;nbsp; &lt;/span&gt;The ending diagonal needs to break to the upside to confirm a counter trend rally. &lt;span style="mso-spacerun:yes;"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;In other words don&amp;#39;t jump the gun, use some form of confirmation of an upturn. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:9pt;line-height:115%;font-family:&amp;#39;Verdana&amp;#39;,&amp;#39;sans-serif&amp;#39;;"&gt;In summary, I am looking for a low before the end of November which should last a few months and should be the most powerful counter trend rally of the bear market, either in size, time or both.&lt;span style="mso-spacerun:yes;"&gt;&amp;nbsp; &lt;/span&gt;Sometime next year the market will break down again for the final leg down into mid 2010.&lt;span style="mso-spacerun:yes;"&gt;&amp;nbsp; &lt;/span&gt;If you only invest for the long term, this next intermediate up turn will be an opportunity to get out and not an opportunity to get in. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;In addition to all the community tools the PhiCube Analyzer has to offer, there is live voice chat during the day and during training through ventrilo. This download is well worth the time installing it so you can follow Bo during training.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;First, download and install the &amp;quot;client i386 Windows&amp;quot; program under &amp;quot;Downloads&amp;quot; at &lt;a href="http://www.ventrilo.com/"&gt;http://www.Ventrilo.com&lt;/a&gt; . &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Open Ventrilo on your computer.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Choose your &amp;quot;user name&amp;quot; in the top box of the chat window. Do this using the right arrow at the top of the chat screen. Please use your&amp;nbsp;PhiCube&amp;nbsp;handle in Ventrilo as well. &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The next box is the &amp;quot;server&amp;quot; box. Click the right hand arrow which produces a &amp;quot;Connection Editor&amp;quot; box.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Click &amp;quot;New&amp;quot; to set up connection to the Wave3 server. &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;In the &amp;quot;server name&amp;quot; box, type Wave3.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;In the &amp;quot;Host name or IP&amp;quot; box, type fire.pure-voice.net&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;In the &amp;quot;Port&amp;quot; box, type 3245. &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Server password is phicube&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Click &amp;quot;OK&amp;quot; which will get you back to the chat window. &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Click &amp;quot;Setup&amp;quot; and select the first three boxes in the upper left hand corner.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Go to &amp;quot;Hot key&amp;quot; box on the same page to set the key you want to use to talk. &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Click OK.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Click Connect and we&amp;#39;re ready to talk! &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;See you in Ventrilo voice chat!&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="clear:both;"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;img src="http://www.teamtraderpro.com/aggbug.aspx?PostID=6" width="1" height="1"&gt;</description><category domain="http://www.teamtraderpro.com/blogs/phicubeblog/archive/tags/Ventrilo/default.aspx">Ventrilo</category></item><item><title>Share your Ideas with others</title><link>http://www.teamtraderpro.com/blogs/phicubeblog/archive/2008/11/12/share-your-ideas-with-others.aspx</link><pubDate>Wed, 12 Nov 2008 17:25:00 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">37a0b289-f7a0-46eb-84b1-782a6f8ddeaf:5</guid><dc:creator>Richard Carlin</dc:creator><slash:comments>0</slash:comments><description>&lt;div class="BlogPostContent"&gt;
&lt;h1&gt;Writing a Blog Post&lt;/h1&gt;
&lt;p&gt;You can now have your own blog to share your ideas, predictions, techniques, and PhiCube Analyzer content.&amp;nbsp;Just send a private message to Ralik and he will set you up with your own blog with a URL to also see the blog from the internet.&amp;nbsp; When you share you ideas they will be listed with others in the whats new section.&amp;nbsp; It is very easy to write your own blog, after you are setup just click write a blog under the community menu or click through&amp;nbsp;the web site menu.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;There are&amp;nbsp;3 options for writing a blog post:&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;ul&gt;
&lt;li&gt;
&lt;div&gt;&lt;b&gt;Built-in rich text editor&lt;/b&gt; - This option provides the most complete control over the editing and authoring experience.&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;
&lt;div&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;a href="http://docs.communityserver.org/wiki.axd/Control-Panel/Blogs/Write/Word-2007/"&gt;Microsoft Word 2007&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/b&gt; - Microsoft Word 2007 has a built-in &amp;quot;Publish to Community Server&amp;quot; tool.&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;a href="http://docs.communityserver.org/ControlPanel/www.blogmailr.com"&gt;BlogMailr.com&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/b&gt; - &lt;a href="http://www.blogmailr.com/"&gt;www.blogmailr.com&lt;/a&gt; is a free blog by email service for non-commercial (individual) bloggers.&amp;nbsp;Blogmailr is an implementation of the Telligent Enterprise Email Integration Server.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;
&lt;h2&gt;&lt;span style="color:#99ccff;"&gt;2. Title and Body&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h2&gt;
&lt;h3&gt;Title&lt;/h3&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The title of your blog post will additionally be used in the URL to help search engines identify the content of your blog for search engine optimization. There are lots of great guides on choosing good titles for your posts. Ideally you want a quick blurb that will grab reader&amp;#39;s attention. Only text is allowed in the Title.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;h3&gt;Body&amp;nbsp;&lt;/h3&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The Body of the blog post is presented with a rich editor with several tool bar options. You can copy-and-paste rich content into the editor as well as use common key-stroke combinations, for example Ctrl-B to bold highlighted text.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;h2&gt;&lt;span style="color:#99ccff;"&gt;3. Tags&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h2&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Tags (&lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tags"&gt;see Wikipedia definition&lt;/a&gt;) provide authors and readers with an easy way to identify and filter valuable content. Instead of pre-defining a site categorization or keyword hierarchy tags enable authors, those who are most familiar with the content, to select the keywords or metadata most appropriate for the content. Readers can then use tags to filter content based on the topics they are interested in.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;To add tags to your post you can either type tags free form in the textbox (you will be prompted with auto-complete text for tags you&amp;#39;ve already used) or you can click the &amp;quot;Select Tags...&amp;quot; button to pick tags you&amp;#39;ve used before and simply check the tags you wish to associate with the current post:&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;h2&gt;&lt;span style="color:#99ccff;"&gt;4. Saving and Publishing&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h2&gt;
&lt;p&gt;There are three options for saving or publishing content:&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;ul&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;b&gt;Save and Continue Writing&lt;/b&gt; - Saves the current edits but keeps you in the edit screen. &lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;b&gt;Save, but don&amp;#39;t Publish&lt;/b&gt; - Saves your post, but marks it as not published. &lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;b&gt;Publish&lt;/b&gt; - Publishes the post immediately. &lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Once you have written a title, body, and optionally set some tags simply click &amp;quot;Publish&amp;quot; and your post will be made available on your blog within a matter of seconds. You can also use the &amp;quot;Preview&amp;quot; tab to optionally view what your blog post will look like before you publish it.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;There are &lt;a href="http://docs.communityserver.org/wiki.axd/Control-Panel/Blogs/Write/Advanced-Options/"&gt;additional &amp;quot;Advanced&amp;quot; options for publishing&lt;/a&gt; to you blog that allow you to control and specify a number of other capabilities such as: publish date/time, post attachments, and more.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;If you navigate away from the Edit Post screen without saving your changes you will be prompted with a warning:&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href="http://wiki.communityserver.org/file.axd?i=50"&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;This warning helps ensure that if you accidentally navigate away from the screen your changes are not lost.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;The PhiCube Analyzer is a community investment program allowing the&amp;nbsp;sharing of information between users.&amp;nbsp; You can share the contents of any content module.&amp;nbsp; These modules are chart(template), study, alarm, watchlist, prism, quotelist, portfolio, search, and theme.&amp;nbsp; Have you found a great search for stocks, share it; created a cool new theme, share it; built a new study, share it; found an awesome template, share it, etc...&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;You can share information with other users through one of three methods&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;ol&gt;
&lt;li&gt;
&lt;div&gt;Live Sharing -&amp;nbsp;Allow others to&amp;nbsp;watch the changes you make in real time.&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;
&lt;div&gt;Link in Chat -&amp;nbsp;Add a link to&amp;nbsp;chat and chat history that any user can click on and see your content.&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;
&lt;div&gt;Link in Blog/Forum/Email - Paste a link&amp;nbsp;in either the forums, blogs, or email. When&amp;nbsp;another user&amp;nbsp;clicks on the link it will load the module and display your contents.&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ol&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:medium;color:#0000ff;"&gt;Live Sharing&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Right click in a chart, watchlist, prism, quotelist, alarm, or search and select share.&amp;nbsp; The chat server will automatically register your share and allow other users&amp;nbsp;the ability to&amp;nbsp;connect to it.&amp;nbsp; Another user can either 1) click on your name with an underscore in the chat handle list, or 2) click on the menu circle, click &amp;quot;Connect To Share&amp;quot;.&amp;nbsp; A new window will pop up with a duplicate of the module you are sharing out.&amp;nbsp; You can have multiple users join the share, then as you change the content (i.e request a new symbol for a chart) the users that have joined your share will see the changes.&amp;nbsp; This is a great mode for training.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:medium;color:#0000ff;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Link in Chat&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Anytime you want to share your PhiCube Analyzer window (not web browser) with the rest of the club, right click and select copy to chat (it might be under the export submemu)..&amp;nbsp; A link will be added to chat that any user can click on and the window will pop up with the content you had at the time you made the link.&amp;nbsp; This is great for showing evidence supporting a point you are making in chat or for just sharing a new study or theme you made.&amp;nbsp; The link will remain in the chat history so it will be available to future users also.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:medium;color:#0000ff;"&gt;Link in Blog/Forum/Email&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;This is the latest way to share information.&amp;nbsp; You can now add a chart(template),, study, alarm, watchlist, prism, quotelist, portfolio, search, and theme link to your forum posts and blogs.&amp;nbsp; First, click &amp;#39;Edit Profile&amp;#39; at the top of this page and make sure you have set the editor pull down to advanced or enhanced.&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;Next, right click in the PhiCube Analyzer window (not web browser) and select copy to clipboard (it might be under the export submemu).&amp;nbsp; Then using the advanced or enhanced editor just click paste and the link will be added where you cursor is.&amp;nbsp; There is a bug in the editor that adds a little window with the data in the editor but once you click save it will not appear in the forum or blog.&amp;nbsp; When your post is done click save, and now any other user can click on the link and it will activate the PhiCube Analyzer, create a new window, and display the data. &lt;/p&gt;
