Stocks Still Floating Around, but the S&P and Euro Declined in Five Waves


Volume is still light and stocks continue to flop around directionless.  However the wave structure may give us a clue as to a what the larger trend may be.


The S&P eeked out a 5 wave decline suggesting the larger trend is now down.  Unfortunately it's occurring with weak volume and mediocre internals to the bearish side.  So it's not a convincing picture....but it rarely is I guess.  The evidence is strong enough that the rally has exhausted, so I'd short rallies with a stop just above this week's high if I was an aggressive trader.  The market is trading heavy overall, and with a 5 wave decline on our hands, a bearish bias in the short term is warranted.

The euro has also declined in 5 waves, although more sharply and convincing than the S&P.  Here too I favor the short side.
