well, I don't know how closely you follow me, but I departed from conventional P&F interpretation a long time ago. Often ascending wedgies can be identified on the P&F chart and they do look bullish by conventional interpretation. I learned to stay away from those on the bullish side.

Of course, until the BRL was pierced, there would have been the caution on the BTK, but since that was done recently, I expect that most piffers are bullish on the biotech stocks.

P&F is used by floor traders because of its simplicity and compactness due to no time component. I am certain that floor traders look for many of the same patterns on the P&F charts that others look for on conventional charts. A big rounding top on a P&F chart is even more reliable than a rounding top on conventional charts.

Last January, Greenspan said that low oil prices would be necessary to sustain a healthy recovery. Light sweet crude was trading at $18/barrel at the time. Since April, oil has been trading between 24 and 29/barrel. Today, it broke out to $30/barrel

The USD broke down from high levels. Now forming an H&S pattern that looks to be completing the right shoulder with an inverted hammer.

BPs have reversed up from the recent low levels only to reverse back down and set new lows. Using the 1pt chart, April 2001 is a good example of this.

VXN doesn't have too far to go until it reaches all time lows....only 10pts from here.

VIX in an area of support. Could get a bounce here.

Mainstream media and analysts are all calling July 24th as the bottom. Vast majority of bears that I have seen expect a retest of the recent bottom to be the maximum downside. Might be time to really surprise the masses.

put/call ratio bounced of lowest low in 5 years.

Check out the ascending wedge on the BKX P&F chart....

Low interest rates stimulated consumer spending. This means that future sales were cannibalized and that the consumer now has less buying power and more risky debt. Any consumer driven rally is toast.
