Stocks are finally showing signs of weakness this morning after being invincible the past few weeks. Perhaps the New Year euphoria is slipping away a bit. It's too early to tell if a top is in at the moment, but the series of lower highs on the 15min charts is the first step in confirming a top. For aggressive traders I can see shorting now and placing a stop above the recent swing high and then trailing that stop down as new swing highs are established. If a top is in, that short term aggressive trade may turn into a big longer term trade. For less aggressive trading I'd sit and wait to see if this decline can develop into a 5 wave impulsive move down before getting short. This may still just be part of a small 4th wave, so patience is important here. Without a 5 wave decline, we still have to leave open the possibility that higher levels will be achieved soon.

As for the euro, it's not falling along with stocks and appears to be a bit exhausted to the downside; at least for the short term. With an impulsive decline to a new low on the table right now, it would not be a surprise to see a recovery rally here. I don't expect any rally to come even close to 1.3400, but if it does, it will open the door to much higher levels from there.
