       Monday Morning Chartology

            Friday’s rally brought the S&P right back to the lower boundary of its short term uptrend on the final day of the time element of our time and distance discipline.  Because of its proximity, I am extending that time element by at least a day.  If the S&P is off today, then the short term trend will re-set to a trading range.  If it is up, it will remain in an uptrend.



            The long Treasury is still holding the very short term uptrend.  As you can see, it is nearing the upper boundary of its short term trading range.  One of these two boundaries in going to give and soon.  It remains well above its 50 day moving average.



            GLD traded right down to and closed on the lower boundary of its long term trading range.  The obvious question is whether this boundary will hold.  Given GLD’s sick behavior, the temptation would be to assume that this boundary will fall like all the rest.  But you never know.  This is a wait and see situation.



            The VIX couldn’t successfully penetrate the upper boundary of its short term downtrend.  It does remain in a very short term uptrend and above its 50 day moving average; and it continues to be of little help in assessing Market direction.
