Aug 4th, 2010: Update 4 – Afternoon
Posted by pugsma on August 4, 2010
2:20 pm EST: The bulls certainly are not giving up on pushing this a little higher today. It now looks like a possible ascending triangle with a flat top at 1127 and target of 1137 if it completes. This ramp to 1137 would be the end of wave 1-(3) or it could just break down from here at 1127 in a wave 2-(3). It will be an interesting close today.
Also realize that the 15-min charting of the daily squiggles showing a possible pop to 1137, does not change the fact that there is a MACD triple negative divergence built up over serveral weeks on the 60-min chart, which is bearish. And the obvious bearish rising wedge on the 60-min chart. The only thing could change this is another 20 to 30 point rally to 1150+ that would break the negative divergence and the bearish wedge. While this could certainly happen, I still think the risk is still greater that the SP-500 heads lower first.
