AS I SEE IT: The bear flag formation on my short-term charts held yesterday, and the market sold off hard overnight. Overbought markets always correct, it is just impossible to give the exact time of that correction. Now the market has had a very nice correction. Will it continue to go down or are we going to consolidate and resume the bull market run? Short, intermediate, and long-term charts are still in our buy zone, but the day-trading charts have turned down. Tonight the June E-mini S&P would have to go back up above the 1528.00 area to turn higher for me.
