            Even though the S&P had a rough week, uptrends remain well in tact across all timeframes.  So there is no reason to question the current uptrend.  Further, the Market is in oversold territory; hence a rally is a reasonable expectation.  On the other hand, the FOMC meeting as well as the Scottish vote on independence occur this week.  Their outcome will likely heavily influence this week’s pin action.



            The long Treasury confirmed the break below the lower boundary of its short term uptrend.  It will re-set to a trading range.  We now wait until we get a bounce to set the actual lower boundary---I have drawn in two potential candidates (brown lines).  TLT also broke below its 50 day moving average.  It remains within an intermediate term trading range.



            GLD finished below the lower boundary of its short term trading range on Friday.  If it remains there through the close on Tuesday, the short term trend will re-set to down.  It ended within its intermediate term downtrend and below its 50 day moving average.  Both GLD and TLT seem to be telling us that interest rates are going up.



            The VIX continues to be of very little help in assessing Market direction.
