Today's Markets




Look at these charts in tandem. The six month chart at the top shows the current move could be the final piece in a bull market flag pattern -- prices have jumped to the upper band and appear ready to move through the band. The three month chart shows this in more detail

First -- this blows the "head and shoulders" analysis out of the water. In addition, it is starting to look like evil trader was right about this being a trap.

Today's movement, while significant, does not necessarily blow the H&S analysis out of the water. There very well could be a second right shoulder forming. (And in fact, one could discount the first right shoulder because it never came down to the neckline.)

Only once the S&P breaks 930 can you say that the H&S is invalidated.

hi
what is a bull market flag pattern?

are you suggesting that while the 3-mo. looks like a turnaround, the 6-mo. indicates movement upwards?
