Waiting For A Sign

Patience in the markets can be rewarding and it might come in various forms.  Patience is often needed to wait for a pull back to turn into a buying opportunity or a trade set up.  It also might come when we are holding positions and we are waiting for price to show follow through.  This weekends report showed mixed signals in various sectors and Monday started clarifying a few things, but a little more time might be needed to truly see what is unfolding.  lets review...

SPX -The general markets showed some upside potential, regaining the 50sma.  It looked like the DCL came 7 days ago,  so now we need to see some follow through to new highs to avoid having this become left translated and a repeat of last fall.

Friday The 13th ( Of May )

This is my  "It's Friday and I dont usually do reports on Friday" report. Whenever Thursdays action raises questions that can't wait until the weekend, I do a Friday report.

SPX - This was yesterdays chart. We likely saw a DCL last Friday with the reversal at the 50sma. AS LONG AS THOSE LOWS HOLD, the DCL is in place. Even if it goes sideways for days above the dcl, like the red circle that I drew above the Jan DCL, nothing has changed. 

SPX 5-11

SPX Thursday - Nothing has outwardly changed yet, but this is looking weak. Volume increased a bit, the MACD looks weak, and the hrly charts look weak.  If this breaks down, that H&S measures a move down to the 200sma. Do I expect that?
