dclapp: Could it be that downward moves, given the macro environment, are understandable, while upward moves -- esp in the Nas -- are so totally speculative that "analysis" of the moves is somewhat like wrestling with a pig?

I think you are correct to a point. But the reality is there are some charts calling for up moves. I posted the falling wedge on the NYA and S&P Emini calling for a retrace complete with the formations, the support areas and indicators.

I also posted charts with rising wedges calling for a retrace of the COMPX and NAZ Emini. Looks like I may have been wrong, but those charts showed the rising wedge formations with support/resistance trend lines and price action areas. I also posted notes as to what a negation of the normal resolution of a rising wedge would be, so folks could watch for both.

Many folks fail to realize, that on my charts I usually show not only what I expect to happen, but what to watch to see if I am wrong as well. (I don't think I am the only one that does this.)

However, it is hard to argue in favor of this mania for many that post here....<g>

OX provided the daily posts count to me and Michael Watkins...Michael has already posted a S&P Chart with the thread?s daily post as volume bars. It was amusing and interesting! Have a good weekend...

>>the "analysis" here picks up as the market trends down --<<
And if someone has the time, do this: Go back over a 2 year period, plot the NAZ and SPX vs # of posts on this thread. You'll have a great new trading indicator!
