Here is the weekly SPX CFD chart compliments of CMC showing the big bear of 07/08 and the big bull of 09/11. Now what is going on with this move down? Is it a new bear? Is it a consolidation of the bull, like in mid 2010? Or looked at another way, was it a short bear that has run it's course and now a new bull is beginning?



Over the weekend, I offered some analysis and comments on the workings of outside up bars (or rising enveloping candles, which are the same thing). Here is a close up of the same chart from the 2010 low, with this year's top, the July/August falls and more recent rises and falls. Have a look at last week’s candle. Perfect for further lift in the coming weeks. Like the October month's similar candle, you wouldn't expect the following week after a candle like that to be a big down week. That candle should offer support throughout the month of December.




Like Volt and all other CMC customers, I have to put up with a whacked out weekly open and close time because CMC open and close times are fixed to their server. Nonetheless, the charts should still be useful.
