Stock Market -- Technical

For me, the daily chart for the SP 500 involves pure guesswork as to market direction in the
short run. Since guesswork is not my forte, I am passing making short term projections at this
time. I am still intrigued by the idea of a run down to SPX 1250 or thereabouts over the next
couple of weeks and I would be more strongly inclined to argue that case save for a rare
"down and back" around trendline which the SPX just executed ( a break below trendline and
a quick jump back above). Sometimes a "D'nB" is the base for a continuation of the uptrend, and
sometimes it is the prelude to a whipsaw. This fancy move in the SPX has not been confirmed
by the smaller cap. composites. ($SPX daily).

The weekly SP 500 chart remains trend positive but is also still overbought. ($SPX weekly).
