Closing Brief

The morning weakness floored @ 1456, and as expected, we saw a latter day recovery - although the main indexes all closed a touch lower. With the VIX closing red for the fifth consecutive day, the bulls are most definitely back in control of this fearless market.

Summary

A pretty quiet day. Any bear out there getting excited earlier this morning about the near 10pt drop on the sp'500, should go stare at one of the weekly index charts for a few hours.

Primary trend is most certainly upward, and the monthly charts would suggest as high as sp'1510/20 in February.

-
US Dollar slipped from slight opening gains of 0.1%, to close around 0.35% lower.

That sort of action will not help the equity bears. Key level remains 78s.

Whether we break a new higher tomorrow.. very difficult to say. the underlying hourly cycle would suggest its very possible.
