Chip,

I have no outlook on whether a break of 113.92 is the begining of the end of the world or not, however I do feel that if that break holds, it represents a change in trend on the daily chart.

i.e. It had been going up for a long time, and would now be going down.

Since all tops start somewhere... its still worth noting.

With index futures I'd pretty much expect a move up into the consolidation zone and I would be following each up bar with sell stops underneath. More frequently than not, the next move down and out of the consolidation zone (should it happen) is a big, fast one.

As I said, I don't follow the $ much but in trading everything else these rules that I use seem to work.

The DOW and SP cash charts are looking good right here mid day, and the NAZ is forming a wiggle type bottom... I wouldn't get too aggressive here on the short side... I think these markets can spring back rather rapidly.....BWDIK
