Head and Shoulders Pattern Suggests Dow 10.6k

Some people have respect for charts others not.

I find when the market is in turmoil everyone on tv starts talking fundamentals.

I find charts to be more helpful during times of volatility. Any way this evening glancing at the tv during dinner they slapped up a chart of the DOW and i said 10,500 may be in the cards.

S&P Chartology

So today was a bad day to say the least. The other day i thought our sell off was not over.

Confidence has to be bolstered in order to get buyers to the table. The acceleration of selling into the bell is a clear indication that investors do not want to wake up to another debacle.

As stated a few days ago the support levels in the S&P are 1244, 1220, 1200. Given today’s action we must now consider 1182, 1170, 1140, and the Art Cashin mention of 1122ish.

The PPT has the SPY @ 1.65 hybrid score and we have seen as low as 1.44 as a low reversal number.

Given all the indicators tomorrow may be our reversal day, but being a Friday I’m not 100% on this especially if the ECB has nothing to say. So Probably best to wait for Monday or Tuesday.

Pay close attention to any emergency meetings in Europe and any mention of some sort of new bond purchasing approach. Also we have the Clam Beard Bernanke talking on Tuesday.

If tomorrow’s Unemployment is good to okay do not get caught up in a head fake rally.

Italy seizes rating agency documents

A friend of mine contacted me earlier to let me know that Italy has raided Moody’s and S&P. He posted the link to my wall; I’ve included it below.

I’m sure this will do wonders to their credibility.

MILAN, Aug 4 (Reuters) – Italian prosecutors have seized documents at the offices of rating agencies Moody’s and Standard & Poor’s in a probe over suspected “anomalous” fluctuations in Italian share prices, a prosecutor said on Thursday.

The measure is aimed at “verifying whether these agencies respect regulations as they carry out their work,” Carlo Maria Capistro, who heads the prosecutors’ office in the southern town of Trani which is leading the probe, told Reuters.

The documents were seized at the Milan offices of the two agencies on Wednesday, he said, adding that prosecutors had also asked Italian market regulator Consob to provide documents relating to their registration in Italy.

S&P in Italy said in a statement it believed the probe was “groundless.”

“We strongly defend our work, our reputation and that of our analysts,” it said.

Moody’s said it “takes its responsibilities surrounding the dissemination of market sensitive information very seriously and is cooperating with the authorities.”

The Trani prosecutors have opened two probes — one for each rating agency — after a complaint by two consumer groups over the impact of their reports about Italy on Milan stock prices.

The first complaint was filed against Moody’s after it published a report in May 2010 about the risk of contagion for Italian banks from the Greek crisis.

A second complaint filed in May this year targeted Standard & Poor’s after it threatened to downgrade Italy’s credit rating because of its huge public debt.

The prosecutors are also investigating whether any crimes were committed during a sell-off in Italian assets on July 8 and July 11 as fears spread that the euro zone’s third largest economy is being sucked into the widening debt crisis.

One of the consumer groups behind the complaints said the probe was aimed at finding out whether the market’s sharp drop was due to a “precise scheme by hedge funds and other unidentified players that could be linked to the negative comments about Italian public finances by the rating agencies.”

Consob last month summoned Moody’s and S&P for meetings and urged them not to release their statements during market hours.

Can the Euro be Saved ?

Germany is on the hook to save the entire Eurozone.

With all the history of infighting amongst European nations, the inability to print money, and with all of Europe on vacation we may see a global panic over the coming weeks unless emergency meetings are held and more Brady type bonds are issued.

The debt shell game is over for Europe as of yesterday.

A Recap for Zero Hedge Haters

Lots of you guys hate on Zero. Guess it’s his politics or the fact that it is hard to hear the truth over and over. Sometimes a broken record is an important harbinger of what’s to come…..So the question is; Will the U.K. be the next domino in the SigmaX trade ?
