We are on track to get to 1113 on SPX (200 bar MA and +2 sigma confluence). NYSE MO at +244 is too high,we are slightly overbought, a small pullback is in order.
Notice DJ Trans strong up thrust [and channel breakout] was followed by RUT channel breakout.This is all good for the bulls.
Notice the direction of our CI Indicators on VXO and VXN. Our target for VXO is 17 (neg 3 sigma).

With the last week of trading for February behind us, the technical picture has not changed much since my last Market Timing Webinar last Sunday.
Next Friday, the Feb NFP will be published by BLS and should provide us some fireworks. I expect a number around -50K for Feb NFP. Until then, market should trade in a tight range for the next four days with a slight up bias (look at theHamzei Analytics, LLChttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06992225953773821315noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7132303467247460198.post-10213368662492259442010-02-07T22:19:00.000-06:002010-02-07T22:19:36.364-06:00Market Timing Charts Revisited -- as of Friday Close, February 5th, 2010Fari Hamzei
I had one of the greatest trading weeks in a while. IMHO, more than once, I got very lucky. These charts & comments were posted earlier today on our Open Twitter Feed ( http://twitter.com/hamzeianalytics ).
Let's start with our Timer Chart.
Notice the "Hammer" candlesticks with very low McClellan Oscillators readings after down/up volume ratio spike day (Thursday).

Here is our Timer Chart with NYSE McClellan Oscillator closing the week at -286, 7thday in the row below the negative 150 oversold threshold. We keep on reminding ourselves that a short/term bounce, albeit a dead cat bounce, should be near. Notice NASDAQ Volume MO is also pretty nasty -- many names being punished despite of good [/quality] earnings.

We went thru a tumultuous week of corporate earnings, political, financial and geopolitical surprises, some with dire unintended consequences.
Those of you who attended my last market timing webinar held on Monday January 18th(http://hamzeianalytics.com/Educational_Webinars.asp), should remember my dire warnings. Our charts had a series of bearish divergence setups.

In our view, several markets, sectors, leadership groups and commodities are at an important turning point. Although we have been a bit early in this analysis, there are many opportunities for positioning in excellent risk/reward setups. Our view is that at least a weekly 4th wave pullback is in the making, allowing for a good long entry later this year.
