It is below the 55 ema. But technically, it is still a bull market in the long term. And more times than not it will get a bounce here or very close to here.

There were 2 things that made me hang on to my longs this time against my better judgement. After all I knew that there was an I-term trend change going on. And, in retrospect, should not have gone long. The first reason was the heavy volume last Thursday. That made me believe it was a short term bottom of some sort. The second reason was that major tops have always retested before going for the major drop.

If we go down here without a retest, it would probably be the first in a long time. Granted that the retest may not be immediate, but could be a month apart. So if we do not bounce immediately, we know then the trend is starting to change in the long term.

As for me, I guess I'll be lucky if I come out of this with just a skin deep wound.

This might have more influence in the markets than the unemployment numbers:
