    S&P 500 ~ Daily The price action the last few days has forced me to revisit this particular pattern which was highlighted on12/19/11. The wave up from 1200 is not acting like an impulse at this point as its channeling too well(green dashed lines). All the of the price legs from the x low look corrective in nature. Therefore, Im leftwith a diametric, a seven-legged correction. The market still looks poised for a corrective move lowersooner rather than later; but, its impossible to tell exactly where the peak of e-wave will come. We willneed to see a break of the uptrend channel before we can get excited about selling the S&P 500 again.

    S&P 500 ~ Daily with Weekly Support and Resistance

    My attempt to short this market did not last that long. I only see one goodresistance point at this point, the 1347 level--the point at which the

    market really collapsed last year. Bulls should monitor the channel aswell at the 23.6% retracement at 1289. At present, Im short-term neutralthis market and would look to short only on a break below 1288.

    S&P 500 ~ Daily

    Only one new S&P 500 for the weekend. The well formed steep trend channel continues to hold. I still see large resistance at 1347. Themarket still appears poised for a correction lower, though Ive been thinking that for more than a week now (been wrong). Short termsupport now lies at 1302. A break of that level should start a larger correction down.

    Gold - Daily Continuation

    The gold market continues to reward those carrying length. Though, its becoming clearer now that that moveis corrective in nature (choppy channeling higher). Im raising stops for longs: 1632 is the 23.6% of theentire bounce an it aligns pretty well with classic chart support. Ive also highlighted here the 38.2% retrace ofthe entire move lower--it seems like the market is feeling that level and slowing down a bit in front of it. From

    a triangle development perspective, however, the $1,692 would be a nice target as the 61.8% of b-wave.

    Gold - Daily Continuation

    We continue to raise our stops for long positions and the market continues to truck higher --thats a goodthing. Gold blew through last weeks resistance points. 1682 is now first level of resistance, the 61.8% retraceof the move up from $1,649.20. Bulls should consider trimming positions at this point -- i.e. get rid of 30-50%of gold length as were now heading for a stronger area of resistance between $1,752 - $1,768.
