Eerie similarity between the 2007 top and now

Posting this chart again, just to drive the point home.

A false break of the 200 DMA, followed by one last high ...

2007 top and today

My daughter and I saw two river otters out in Puget Sound on our walk this morning.  Then I went completely Hobbesian on a couple of Seattle idiots whose filthy unleashed dogs came over to visit us.

"Oh, but they're nice dogs."

And yet I will kill your dog if it bites my kid.  Right here on the beach.

This sort of primordial psychotic intensity scares the living hell out of your average passive-aggressive New York Times-home-delivery wussy Seattle people.  It's great fun, it should be a sport, really.

Also, the first major trendline break is usually a fake. Gosh, i hope we dont putz around for months. Just get it over with already.

Swinging away like Ron Kittle ...

We are agreed on the need to get it over. McHugh has a "major" phi mate turn coming up -- his newsletter readers know when -- so maybe that will work.

I hope we don't have to wait until the 11/20 "major" Bradley turn window.

Having quite some difficulty moving to the 1894.81 level to reach that buy point. However, once through that, it should move on to T1, currently at 1933.18.

Interestingly, the next set of numbers starting to form after this level is 1994.83. Hmmmm... But let's not get too far ahead. ;-)

Or we crash and fall apart, Phat.

I saw an interesting count over the weekend that had this as 1-2, 1-2.

i.e. the 150 pt leg from 1970 down to 1820 was just another nested wave 1 ahead of something devastating.

There is a school of thought out there that when we reach the point of realization, this thing crashes so fast and furiously that even the most ardent bears are left watching, jaws agape.

See the Jim Chanos post on ZeroHedge about the real meaning of systemic risk.

CG; it is certainly possible. I have my stops if that were to happen, though if violent, I would be taken to the woodshed on my modest position. :-)

As you know, until the first hour passes there really isn't much direction (unless it were a substantial move). And to me, not being a day trader, the last hour is the most important. ;-)

And look at that, as I type. Now let's see if it can confirm.

ZOMG you moved the markets!

Phat Repat said...

Darn I'm good. lol

Now let's get some confirmation. ;-)

Cg your v bottomish h-s pattern appears to be breaking out now. Hopefully doesnt trap here.

Numbers shifted slightly, but if we can maintain above 1895.50, then I would feel comfortable about continuation. And I would likely add to my long position; but won't make a decision until 3'ish.
