What would a schizo manic depressive know?

I never heard it put that way, with regard to <the 55 day indicator only works when the market is falling>.

Like I say, I'm not a Cycle Nut so although I'm aware of the concept I don't know specific ramifications. It does appear he attributes the concept to mass psychology.

Given his rationale, I would guess the market is not depressing enough to cause the 55 Day selloff. This has now bounced impressively to major R in the 1125 (Sept) area and I would think the average investor is not aware of that to the degree that a panic sell would start. More likely, they are presuming the time honored Expiration Rally.

I have not looked at OEX/SPX % motion, there should be a clue as to the wind-up Friday.

I have to be at a golf outing in 15 minutes, good luck with whatever you decide to do.
