S&P 500 Weekly

My last S&P 500 post on Feb 1st was blown out of the water by a 9pt overnight gap up in the futures and this post carries the same risk, if we make it above 1375 and hold.
On a side note the Emerging Markets and BRIC post that i posted on March 11th, have played along very well and are midway along an intermediate decline..

Onto the chart...
Since the 2009 bottom the S&P 500 has been in a huge blue channel after breaking down from an initial wedge, during the August 2011 bout of selling. Since the October bottom it has tested the underneath of the wedge and pulled back. I think the Bears are shy and now cautious from getting their asses handed to them every time they get their hopes up form the last few dips in November, December, March and April. The bulls on the other hand continue to BTFD as even the major declines of May 2010 and October 2011 have been recovered. From the date on the video it is apparent this has been a theme since November 2010, that has continued to work. The reason for the bull bear discussion is that IMHO nobody (from the twittersphere, except Faber, Prechter and the perma-bears, which are knackered and bloody) expect a 150 pt (Aug 2011 style) immediate drop in the S&P500 to approx 1200- 1125, which would just keep it within the larger blue trend.



In summary i am looking at the current bout of selling in the S&P 500 to intensify and continue to the 1200 ish levels while the emerging markets continue the decline.....
