Tuesday's Market Pulse Watch any break above 1378 SPX

Basically nothing changed from the Monday's market pulse, but lots of buying in the afternoon, so shorts should be concerned.
Up strong, down strong, moving averages and indicators are still indicating strong moves, every day we are going from buy signal to sell signals and reversing the following day, which is chacteristic of consolidation, as the moving averages catch up to price. The longer we build this area the more the daily moving averages move down, watch for the 50 day moving average on the daily currently at 1397 SPX to get to the 1380 area for a possible test next week. The 60 pt. SPX spread has been holding up on the 1318 to 1378 consolidation area, risks for shorts and longs are greater at each end of the spectrum. The end of day ramp, ended up with a hold long signal, but the 60 min charts have a crossed up MACD but still negative and stochs close to over bought. Watch for a possible reversal down at the open. The possible inverse head and shoulders pattern was negated with the break of 1333.
Watch for the effects of TOM towards the end of the week, with the breaks of 1318 or 1378 being significant on the SPX. Until then enjoy the mistake free trading, with the consolidation moves...Just don't get caught on the wrong side when they break out or break down...


Near term signals are in-sync. Strongest signals when they are all on the same signal.

Tradable shorts or longs are a possible day trade, risky to hold overnight.
