      Monday Morning Chartology

            As you can see, after taking out the lower boundary of its short term uptrend, the S&P promptly rebounded and pushed up through the downtrend off the May22 ‘outside down day’.   It speaks to the resiliency of the ‘buy the dippers’.  As I have noted before, until this crowd is punished and badly, it will continue.



            I was a short hair away from stepping on my own d**k on Friday.  You can see the progress GLD made off not only the second of what appears to be a double bottom but also above the upper boundary its shortest downtrend.  So by our Buy/Sell Discipline, it looked like it was time to start nibbling.  Ooops.  The good news was that because GLD was down in pre Market trading, I waited till after the open.  Better lucky than smart.  In any case, as you know from my flash Subscriber Alert, I didn’t follow through; and even if I had, I would have been stopped out.  Bottom line: GLD is back in an untradeable pattern.




            The VIX tested the upper boundary of its short term downtrend and retreated---a positive for stocks.
