A Tale of Two Dips

Working our way through the final hour of this holiday week, note that the S&P 500 is back down to last Monday's lows before that Fed rally ensued. On the 30-minute chart of the SPY, ETF for the S&P, below, note how unlike a week ago we are now leaning down against these lows, potentially bear-flagging. In addition, the likes of HYG JNK are...

Twitter Bird Drowning in Holiday Brine

TWTR is turning out to be a textbook example of a downtrending stock sliding down the "slope of hope." We often hear about the "wall of worry" which bull markets climb, rising in the face of every apparent reason to crack.

Homebuilders on Track for Confirmed Top

This blog post ought to be right to the point: The homebuilders, a chic bullish rotation pick headed into the beginning of this year, are now on track to confirm a rolling head and shoulders bull market top, spanning 2015, heretofore.
