The Bears are Back in Town

"Bully Bear" is ready to put up a fight!
3 Month, Daily - July 7 - Two & Ten Year Treasury Spread can give you a solid directional indictor. Compare the Bond Spread and the S&P Futures in the chart above. Pay close attention to the MACD in the Bond Spread. Notice the greater volatility in the S&P. This concept is fully covered in the Trader Lounge Seminars on ThinkOrSwim (dated July 1).
30 Day, 2 Hour - July 7 - The channel trend is down. Today's market action took out some important prior support. Note the negative MACD histogram.
5 D, 15 min. - July 7 - Weak close today in a down trending market. There are "fake outs" along the way but keeping one eye on the Bond Spread will steady the nerves and keep a trader on track.
