As I shared pre-market Monday morning, one day doesn’t make a trend and support had not been broken (see link below) The post Monday morning actually reflected that the 500 was on support, which would call for support to hold. https://www.kimblechartingsolutions.com/2011/01/walk-away-due-to-egypt/
I am of the view that the market is entering a correction in the short term, but the primary support according to the Dow Theory should hold. Sentiment is very bullish and the market is overbought, but I think we can go a bit higher after the correction. We are in a cyclical bull, but a secular bear, so the run from March 09 lows is becoming quite mature. Therefore, I am not sure how much higher we will go, as majority of the gains are now gone!
This may be your bravest call yet – with both the DOW and the S&P500 now reaching their psychological levels of 12,000 and 1,300 respectively it would seem more probable that investors will take some profits here – especially with any type of bad economic news in the days to come…

I’m guessing this market nosedives fairly soon.
