15-min chart for providing technical context & be sure to look at the 5 symbols plotted in the lower section vs. their 15-minute 200,2 Bollinger Bands stockcharts.com Note the indicator set is drifting lower in the most recent days for the 15-min $OEX vs. $SPX ratio, but several indicators remain above their Dec 14th low, for now anyway * the group of Mega Caps in the $OEX are going to determine the future hours & days, having by far the greatest influence on S&P 500 index and many other indices

$SPX 5-minute by Glen at Investor's Hub ... he created this a few months ago and his use of the PSAR indicator adds some clarity to price reversals ... Glen is a confident believer in the Moving Averages he selects for each specific chart time frame because he spends time testing the MA settings before locking them in for use stockcharts.com

SPY weekly closes in histogram format vs. 15-week SMA ... no firm change in character yet relative to the 15-week SMA stockcharts.com weekly RSI-8 continues to briefly oscillate both above & below the 50 level, so far Thursday's close is distant from now, LoL Mini-Pups All uptrends eventually peak and pullback. Pullbacks will either hold the 5-period MA support, bounce and resume the uptrend or collapse through the 15-period MA and form a trend reversal. The 5-period MA is the “line in the sand” support on uptrends. When a stock peaks and falls to test the 5-period MA or even slips under it, it will stall the stochastic and possible form a crossover down. If the stock rises back up through the 5-period MA and slopes the stochastic back up (instead of crossing down), that is the mini-pup pattern. When this triggers, expect upside price moves towards the upper BBs. When a mini-pup forms on a wider time frame, then expect the shorter time frames to react. The shorter time frames are used to pinpoint entries when their stochastic triggers with a crossover back up. Perfect Storms A perfect storm is an ultimate pattern. This forms when three or more simultaneous time frames trigger mini-pups. This is the highest probability pattern for traders and investors. The caveat here is that by the time a perfect storm becomes transparent, most of the move may already have been made. Therefore, the key is spotting the wider time frame mini pup and then entering on the smaller times frames and trimming profits when the pattern becomes fully transparent. Utilizing the multi-frame frames with the Rifle Charts using mini-pup patterns can dramatically improve forecasting accuracy and provides trigger points and targets. Further optimization can be developed utilizing more price tools like Fibonacci retracement levels and the various channel and envelope indicators. As usual, use what works with your methodology to create converging signals.
