Paul, actually I use the 20-day and 200-day EMA, which you may notice is an even better indicator in this year.

It hit the Jan high on the nose, it was maybe a week early on the May high, and it appears it may be a week or two early this time.

It doesn't work quite as well on the VXN, however:

stockcharts.com[w,a]daclyymy[d20010101,20011130][pc200!c20][vc60]

I don't pay as much attention to the VXN anyway, as the VIX is a more reliable indicator with better history.

It is possibly you could glean a good date by using a combination of the EMA and SMA on the VIX.

I can't take credit for this, as Les Horowitz once posted that he thought the crossing of the moving average lines was more significant than the actual values. I can't remember if he pointed to the 200 & 20 day or if I just stumbled on it (I think he was using the 13EMA and something else).

Anyway, like most things I've looked at recently, this doesn't seem to be working in calling this top. I think the top has been taken out of our hands the past couple of weeks, but we'll get it back in our court soon enough <G>.

One can also use moving average variance for the 10- and 50-day exponential moving averages. It got close to the 15 pct warning level.

if we have a dribbler of a pullback as in last summer, we could have the VIX fall with the decline so long as the OEX tracks the 21-day average closely. seasonality probably doesn't favor that being repeated now.

Too many defaults at once and the Fed will not be able to plug the holes. Bank run in Argentina doesnt sound too healthy.

The reality that some major US and Japanese corporations are failing might start to sink in next week.

*OT*

Had @Home thru AT&T connection yesterday. I was automatically connected pronto with AT&T broadband this morning. Outside of having to reset my cable modem, all went well. I guess that I am one of the lucky ones, hooked up in 1 day as opposed to 14 as their press release suggests in some cases.

I am reading of some horror stories where the plug just got pulled with no notice or auto switch.

Another indicator I ran across on another site that seems to show we're close to resolution of this top is the $BPCOMPQ.

I can't seem to post the chart here, but it seems when the index value crosses its 12-Day SMA for the first time, the top is in this year.

I'm sorry I can't post the link. I'm using AOL now and it appears I can't copy and past URL's the same way I did in a browser.
