THE BIG QUESTION

Will Bulls come and buy the dips near 1760-1775 band OR

Are we looking at deeper correction?

What IF: There is a deeper correction

Trading Rule: When an Index fails to hold established support – it falls to next level of

established support

When markets are in strong Uptrend: there is tendency of False Breakdown i.e. Create Panic, Bounce Back and Resume Uptrend.

It means S&P500 can breakdown below 100 dma and then bounce back and resume uptrend. This

is where it becomes tricky

Deeper Correction

If S&P500 breaks down below 1760-1775: then it can collapse to levels of 1680 i.e. 50 week ma and still be in Bull Market

Breakout Bull Market S&P500 managed a stunning breakout when it moved past Double top

resistance of 1540 which indices held for 12 years

The Big QUESTION The Breakout Level of 1540 is now the rock solid support level for S&P500.

Can indices correct 16% from 1850 to test this as support?

Summary

www.stateofthemarket.net

Are we looking at Deeper correction to test 50 week ma of 1680 as support?

Are we looking at Normal Healthy pullback to 100 dma i.e. range of 1760-1775?

Summary

www.stateofthemarket.net

Are we looking at Dramatic Sell off of magnitude of 16% from HIGHS to test 1540-

1560 as support?

LETS TAKE one level at a time. Right now: we need to focus on 1760-1775 as first level of support

Trade the market as you see it

Trends Persist longer than one can imagine

Benefit of Doubt should go to Bulls i.e. Do not

rule out False Breakdown

Corrections are Brutal and Swift. Any

breakdown below 1760 will be sharp and swift

As always, there is risk in the market – there is no guarantee
