The S&P just doesn’t want to take a breather…but it will
By Terry Martin   
October 15, 2010

The Market (S&P 500) made another new high this week then dropped. And as I wrote last week “the S&P continues to look “exhausted” and is ready for a needed pull-back.” However, it is still finding buyers. Soon this ride upward will be over and the S&P will be heading back down to my Trading Points. Let’s review why I feel we are due (long overdue) for a retracement:

  1. The Market made a new high this week; then turned around and closed lower.
  2. The volume is still not where it should be for sustained growth.
  3. The upward trendline has become steeper and could be broken on a close soon; signaling that the Market is heading lower.
  4. RSI (Relative Strength Indicator) is not showing signs of strength and is almost flat (slight uptick); signaling weakness.
