SPY 20 Day, Hourly - 2.7.11 - In Spite of all the Negatives, the Market Surges on.  Today the SPY even Popped above the Trend Channel.  There is a Danger of Price Action getting Ahead of Itself.  There are a Lot of Reasons to Expect a Pull Back.  But, that is an Olde Story

  

SPY 2 Day, 10 min. - 2.7.11 - The Golden shaded area or "Golden Zone" represents the Area of Most Transactions (70%) in the last Trading Session.  This Zone acts as a Center of Gravity in which or from which the Market Trades in the next Session.  Recognizing its Significance is Important to your Trading Health.  We plan to follow this Indicator in upcoming Blogs as an Idea that makes Sense to the Potato Trader.

SPY 20 Day, 2 Hour - 2.4.11 - Longer Term Trend continues UP!  But, note the divergence between the Price Action and the Longer Term "On Balance Volume."  This would suggest less Money Flow going to Support the Move.  In addition the Price Action is in the Upper Quadrant of the  Channel.  Could we be "Running out of Steam?"

 

SPY 2 Day, 5 min. - 2.4.11 - Friday's Price Action was Bullish with a move into a Higher "Value Area."  On Balance Volume was consistent with the move.  Yellow Lines depict Mondays "Value Area" High and Low.  Continued concerns about the Middle East just add potential Volatility to the Market making Direction Decisions more difficult.
