While the pundit patrol has been full of rumors today (“Obama” this, “bank bailout” that…), most of them, if not all of them get trumped by the math. Until we test my downside support level (see chart below) of 802.39, all rallies are to be sold.

There are two important lines of resistance, and the short covering out there took us all the way up to one of them (almost). The intraday high on the SP500 was 837, and I have a formidable line of immediate term “Trade” resistance at 842 (dotted red line). If we were to close above that line, there’s an even more relevant line of resistance developing at 877.11 (thick red line).

Have a great weekend,
