CPI Report Comes In Lower Than Expected; Bulls Take Charge
Major indices finish the week with another positive
close. Crude oil futures close up slightly to $64.05 after reaching
52-week lows earlier in the session.
Thursday’s
market action created a 10 day intraday high as well as 3
straight higher intraday highs on the the Nasdaq
(explanations below), which are bearish signals. It will be interesting to see if we get more
bearish signals next week and if any trigger on the SPX, which has
surpassed its recent resistance levels near the 1315 area (click

10
Day High Alert-This is an alert that the market has hit a 10 day new
high intra-day today. Historically this has meant that when the market is above
its 200 day ma, little progress has been seen over the next 2-5 days (on
average) as the market is either overbought or nearing overbought conditions.
It’s a good place to be taking profits. When the market is below its 200 day ma
and the market hits a new 10 day high, it has been, on average, a good place to
be looking to put on short positions.
3
Higher Highs In A Row and 3 Lower Lows In A Row– The same tactics
applied to 3 consecutive closes in the same direction apply here. 3 higher highs
identifies a market that is overbought, especially when its below its 200 day
ma. 3 consecutive lower lows is an excellent time to be looking for long
positions when the market is above its 200 and to be locking in short positions
when its below its 200 day.
