Dave’s Insight for Monday:  Markets are down following the S&P downgrade of U.S. long term debt from AAA to AA+…from here it appears this is being translated into a knee-jerk reaction to economic concerns …Gold is at a new high and bonds are up from Friday’s close, after the downgrade…go figure…Follow your rules for entries this morning for bullish and bearish trades… A good technical trader will stay objective and trade each chart according to your rules…Watch XLF which is still a key factor in any SPX move up or down

SPX
Resistance: 1,225, 1,235, 1,249
Support: 1,200, 1,173, 1,160

Good morning Coach,
On July 19 we were foreseen a possible brake out high... Than we broke support on July 29 (only 10 days later) and since than we are going LOW.

Today XLF just lost 2yrs low and next support area look like 12.25 and than 10.75.
Why are Finances being beating so hard?

The overall does not look that bad with many companies beating earnings expectation but still look like the END OF THE WORLD on the Market!
How can people change so fast and liquidate it all?
