No sense of direction today. Investors will be heading out soon. Don't think much will happen after deadline today. The bull / bear line I was testing as a future switch line isn't showing anything yet.

I would not be surprised to see a nice pop in the last hour to reverse the dip from yesterday - going over 1810 would be purrfect.

With you there. If it gets to 1810 I would still consider it short term underperforming. Just right to pop up for the first and in particular, the second week of December, which it is not supposed to do, looking at seasonality, but I'll take some seasonal contrarian action. I think of the market as being buoyant. During the Christmas factor, the market has got to pop up big sometime soon, considering its lackluster performance thusfar this week. Maybe it'll go through the whole month of December all green with a 7% rise. Could be that is what it is setting itself up for.

We're not even getting a low volume drift up. This is new though. Have all the traders locked into this trading range. I can see the sell level set and I can see the dip buy level set but not both.

They can if all the human traders have already left for the holiday leaving the automated computer programs to buy-N-sell to each other.

On a better note, I for one am very blessed to have my life and am thankful every day for it. Tomorrow will be a day where I simply celebrate the life, and family, I love. I know many on this site are of similar minds concerning their own lives. To those, as well as those looking for more,
HAPPY THANKSGIVING! EAT MUCH AND DRINK MORE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Anybody see any short term worry? Even if we continue sideways it could be a flat top. Just a heads up or those that are in.

Now if we ignore the higher highs line, the higher lows line of the last chart and don't worry about any holiday trend reversals our buddy Birch would call this: Coin toss?
