Bears Devastate the Bulls

 Bears can take care of a China Shop too.
 SPY 20 Day, Hourly - 8.18.11 - 400 Point Drop in Dow portends Downside Momentum Underway - Bear Market Rules in Force
VIX/SPY Divergence - 8.18.11 - Lack of On Balance Volume Support led to Failure of the Weak Rally to the Upside.  The Market is now in a Momentum Move to the Downside.

Lack of Volume Support Threatens Move

 Weak Move to Upside with Little Volume Support
 SPY 20 Day, Hourly - 8.17.11 - Loss of 20 Day Support suggests a Roll Over on the way.
VIX/SPY Divergence Chart - 8.17.11 - On Balance Volume out of Sync with Weak Bullish Move.  (the white line is flat and is not tracking the price action.)  This Lack of Support suggests a Probable Rollover to the Downside.

Limbo Land Between Bulls and Bears

 You're Confused?
 SPY 20 Day, Hourly - 8.16.11 - Support on 20 Day Moving Average - Looking for Momentum to go Higher.
VIX/SPY Divergence - 8.16.11 - Weak Movement to the Upside - Lackluster On Balance Volume in So-So Support.  Bullish Rally at Risk to Fail.

Volatilty has Become the Norm!

 Hang in There for the Ride - Buckle the Seat Belts
 SPY 8.11.11 - 20 Day, Hourly - Seeking Support while Reaching for the Trend Line - Consolidation may Take Some Time before the Next Major Move
VIX/SPY Divergence Chart - 8.11.11 - Note the Divergence of On Balance Volume (White Line) moving in opposition to price action.  This suggest weakness in the move to the upside (but then there is the weekend to consider).

VIX/SPY Divergence Chart - 8.8.11 - Acceleration noted in price action. The Market is Very Oversold but that is not a Brake.

Market Votes on Washington Histrionics

 It's Up to Us to Clean Up the Mess - Come on America!
 SPY 20 Day, Hourly - 8.5.11 - The Market Does Not Go Down Forever.  The Current Environment is Very Negative.  Perhaps We Should Look for a Bounce on Monday?
PIX/SPY Divergence (VD Test) - On Balance Volume has been overlain on the SPY Chart.  The Mode is Very Bearish.  Considerable Work by the Bulls is Needed to Even Make a Dent.  On the Positive Side the Bad News is Already Out There.  "Do the Bears Have Any More Bullets?"
