SHORT-TERM: BULLS NEED A BREAKOUT, THE LONGER THE CONSOLIDATION THE WORSE THE CHANCES

Short-term direction still depends on which side breaks first, SPX 1148 or 1122? See 09/27 Market Recap for more details. However, as exclaimed by the title, bulls need a breakout as soon as possible because the longer the current consolidation goes the worse the situation for bulls. As illustrated in the chart below, since March 2009, a consolidation usually meant a top and on average it took 5 days to consolidate before a big pullback kicking in, while now the market has already been consolidating for 3 days. In another word, all bears need are to hold the current consolidation range for 2 to 3 more days then probably the gravidity would come to rescue.

Consolidation 

1.0.1 S&P 500 SPDRs (SPY 15 min), the Ascending Triangle is confirmed today, now we will see if bulls can make a breakout tomorrow. Remember, the breakout must be huge, otherwise it still could be seen as a consolidation which according to the chart above, is not bull friendly. The question is: Is huge up possible? I recommend to take a look at today’s After Bell Quick Summary, because a potential Firework trading setup could be triggered and if so then bulls may have good chances.

INTERMEDIATE-TERM: BULLISH, BUT NEED SOME IMAGINATION TO FORESEE HOW BULLISH

See 09/27 Market Recap for more details.

SEASONALITY: LAST TRADING WEEK OF MONTH WAS GENERALLY BEARISH
