09/02/2008 Tuesday's Trading

Time is tight for me today, but I will try to comment. There is a surprise burst of upside in the market this morning, but any move up is not to be trusted in the current market environment.

Interesting that the VIX opened up in a bearish way this morning as the markets gapped up. XLF was up sharply as well. I do not believe this upside movement is sustainable at this rate.

It looks like XLF could go to test the $22.50 resistance from here. Maybe even to $23.

It is a very tricky point in the markets right here and I would advise caution in either direction.

XLF has fallen below R2 for the day. Will it consolidate from here and move up? $21.79 is immediate overhead resistance.

SPY is testing its R1 level.

You can see these intraday charts in my public list.

Thus far I am not sure what to make of the XLF patten I have. I will look at it later.

Interesting. Looks like XLF may be putting in a bearish flag off today's high.

this could be like mid-April. Black XLF candle then, black XLF candle today. One more retracement to the trendline then a push to the top before the rally end.

Maybe, of course.

Added a VIX chart to my chart list that might show a good way to watch the VIX trend.

I updated the XLF pattern chart.
