IDS World Markets Fri 10th August 07

my gut instinct is to go long.

 

a guy in OZ has had a secondary correction target on the Ords at 5650 which looks like it could match that LW target on the SPOOs around 1380

1387 is the number I'm looking for. Sure feels like it's coming our way. A move below 1432 will cinch it, IMO.

 

1387 is the 78.6% Fib retrace of the whole 2002-2007 move and, not coincidentally, the technical bottom from March07 when you look at the weeklies.

 

So the 1387-1432 zone is pretty much the whole technical topping and bottoming enchilada from Feb/Mar07.

 

If they take 'er up instead, then 1387 will have to wait until later. In that case, the usual suspects apply: 1448-1453, 1476, 1505ish, 1532ish.

Looks like the inverse of 78.6%. A 78.6% correx would have it down in the 800s, right? :unsure:

Right. But the standard Fib tools list the first level down from the top as 78.6%.

 

The 1387ish zone on the SPX is the first Fib level from the top. It is also the technical bottom from Mar07. And it was also the last line of defense prior to the 2001 waterfall. And it represents a 10%+ dump from the peak. So it has major technical implications on a number of levels.

 

As mentioned, the next break of 1432 will bring the 1380s into view where I would expect a massive goal line defense to form. On the linked weekly chart, you can see how the 1387-1432 zone played out in Feb/Mar. So if 1432 gives way, down we go to the bottom of the Feb/Mar07 pattern which happens to be 1387.

 

Also worth noting that Rusty has already tagged its respective "78.6%" level when it spiked down to 742. That is the first Fib level down on the retracement of the entire 2002-2007 rally.

 

Interesting that Rusty remains well above that level this morning (771) while the SPX is threatening to make lower lows for the move (below 1427). Also note that if Rusty comes back again to its 78.6% retrace at 742, that would be 3.8% lower. If the SPX followed suit, it would fall to...you guessed it....1383.

 

Hmmm, I love it when a plan comes together.

 

This scenario will unfold on a break of 1432 that sticks.

 

If the crooks hold the line at 1432 this morning, as it appears they are trying to do, we may have to wait until after OpEx for the move lower.

Looks like the crooks are focusing on 1432 as I am.

 

This is the level that will determine whether we head straight for the 1380s or whether we will have another intervening rally.

 

Girleboolz are free to buy the SPX at 1432 with a tight stop in case the crooks don't want to give up the ship pre-OpEx.

Schtick-save in progress on the Industrials (XLI) at 38.

 

This group looks like it has about 5-7% more to go on the downside. But if they schtick-save it today at 38, it is likely a sign that additional poopage will have to wait for another time.

qqqq hit 3 day cycle projection of 46.93.

 

That doesn't mean that this is the end. I noticed a couple of our wrong way Corrigans are throwing long here. That's probably a good indication.

spx smashed the 3 day cycle projection of 1440 (was 1445 last night at the close) but is coming back to it, so it may just been a bigger than normal overshoot. 3 and 5 day cycle indicators remain very weak, and the 1 day cycle MA is still way above, but dropping like a knife at 1455.75. It would take a far braver man or woman than me to try to catch it.

Count me among the Corrigans.

 

I went long SSO on the SPX tag of 1432. This is a critical level. I believe, as you do, that it will go bye-bye. But I don't know when. So at this point, I'm taking it level by level.

 

Still short some udder stuff. So the SSO is a schwang trade. Looking for 1440, then 1448-1454, then 1476, and so on. The SSO play is what I consider low-risk since the levels are so well-defined.

 

What's nice about this tag of 1432 is that the bools can now view it as "the re-test of the low". And maybe we will ramp up from here. But it also likely means that the next time down (to 1432 and below) will be the Real McCoy.

OK Mr. Corrigan. Turn on your Skype and lets give the folks an earful. :D
