This has nothing to do with World events since the market was getting weak per the Thursday chart of the stocks above the 50% ma.
Trending the SP500 SPX using proprietary cycles. A mechanical program (excel formula's) and the use of Advanced Get (Elliot waves) to both visually show what my spread sheet offers and how Advanced Get understands it. I'm also using a MOON COUNT that has been working nicely! Use at your own risk to supplement your own work. Jerry

We cross that 49 sell line on the chart and we will drop fast. Very short term we had some congestion but it finally broke .
One last chance for the bears is to close under the 1302.58 gap on Monday AM.
Bullish numbers are 1327.22 the Feb close and an average, then a number I keep coming across at spx 1333.We blow through that and a new high is near. However I think we just painfully work higher. I will post only one chart of congestion that I have been using.
Depending how it breaks will help to clear the air.
Early read at 5:20 PM
Today was almost carbon copy of Feb 1st 2011
Upvol 88% vs 88%. Point gain 22.53 vs 21.47 spx
Tick 1218 vs 916, trin .57 vs .61
What does that tell me? Friday will be a flat (inside?) day and that is bullish.
Other than that we look for failures.
Was today a buy the rumor and Friday sell the news?
The stock market hates 2 things! Good news and uncertainty we have both.
I think you want to ride with the gap direction for Thursday till 9:45 then watch for a reverse.
The S1 and R1 support/resistance will get hit as a guide.
Dax and Ftse are important leaders.
Even the Sox that was so strong has flat lined here. chart below......
Speaking of the Resistance R2 is spx 1320 or just about 61.8%
of the 1332-1303 . I would not want to see us go above that 1320/1322 area on a close basis.

Tuesday recap 3-2
My view is 10 days ago a formula I used pulled spx 1333 out and we stuck there for 3 days. I thought that was the high but we went a little higher. Now we are to test that again with a 78.6% hit =1333. I hope that will stop it like a brick wall. I don't understand Roy's count but his first number is a throw away and when we come back to a fib hit that should be it. On the table also is the % of stock above the 50dma flat lined today on an up day. We had the up-volume actually down. With a weak trin most of the day the bear will rule Tuesday if 1333 holds. I would also watch the Dax as an early clue.
Looks like the Upvolume burned a few dollars trying to move a few points to 1st resistance

This is a % of stocks above their 50 day ma. The actual sell comes under 50% but I notice direction helps.
Here is another count I have: If 2002 low spx 768.63 and ATH 1576.09 = 807.46 points *17.618 =665.20 actual low 666.79. Then ATH 1576.09- 666.79 =909.30 points*46.618 = 1333.20 High so far 1330.39 stay tuned! This count offers higher as a 5th wave will offer.
Bearish view: On a close basis we need to watch Spx 1325.75, then 1314.69 and finally we could put more trust in a CIT at 1308.77/83 or weaker close. One thing we can all agree when it starts down there will be no getting on even thought the dipsters will try. Gap at 1250 and AGET target 1212 All Spx
