It looks like we are starting the third thrust up from 11/6 lows with a
minimum price objective of 131^20 and second objective of 133^08. Either of
these will take out the (back adjusted) 10/16 pivot high at 130^29
suggesting that the nasty reversal on the monthly may have been a liquidity
driven aberration. I hadn't noted the flag, but it too looks bullish and
would give us a projection to 133^08.

Looking over at the spoo, which is what I day trade, we had some nasty
technical damage on the 30 minute led by a Wyckoff thrust off the top and
prospects of at least one more decline from whatever intraday high we
complete today. Looks like setups for the two to counter trend. Given the
fact that I don't see much major technical damage in the indexes plus good
seasonals, I imagine we can look forward to both reversing direction a bit
later in the month. I've also noticed that the Ru2000 has built a very tight
cup and handle beginning in early November and appears poised to rally
aggressively as long as the handle holds during this correction.
