There is little to discuss tonight that adds to my current view that the market will rally to the 1291 area. The price action since 1/3/11 is clearly corrective. However the market on the weekly chart level is OB and 1275 seems to have proven to be formidable resistance.
The USD has rallied in five waves from it's low (79.03) established on 12/31/10. The decline in the dollar was expected and given the negative correlation between equities and the Dollar, the stage may be set for further advances in the ES_F.
One word of caution. The market has made three distribution days since the beginning of trade in 2011. Distribution occurs when supply (sellers) are outstripping demand ( buyers). I have labeled each distribution day (when trading volume is heavy when price declines or when little upward progress has been made (churn). When distribution occurs, it's a prelude to a drop in price that may come days or even weeks later. Distribution by itself is not a stand alone buy or sell indicator but it is a tool that I use to confirm topping price action.
Although the wave count suggests higher prices, the fact remains that this market is way extended and a significant correction is long overdue.
Best of Trading
