extremes on vol, say 2-3 times 180avg volume says too much to soon.

high bullish or bearish talk in media and net.

Price above or below 89 EMA by 20% or more.

When you feel a top is approaching then put a 7EMA with a 5 horizional shift on price. Sell on cross.

I use more complex fib/gann indicators with e-wave to try to predict the tops and bottoms. But you can't tell for sure. after the 11/13 low you could have predicted a 114-145 move using fib off the wave 4 bottom. I can't see any thing that might have shown the ease that it broke thru 96.25. But it did seemed likely it would, just might have taken 3-4 runs at it. I suspect it should rest soon, it is about 21% above 89 EMA.

But the real key is how do you trade? I am speaking in intermediate terms. Short term has a different way of looking at things. Shorten your focus to 5-13 day periods. RSI(9) might call some shots.

You can't call all the tops/bottoms, you just want to get close.
