a little off topic but can anyone explain to me why the Dow is so damn high? Surely everyone can see that this is an incredible bubble with almost all countries worldwide drowning in debt, slowing consumer spending and potential super high inflation all to look forward to?

I dont get it

To confuse you some more, the FTSE 100 is currently above 6000 whilst the UK economy is heading towards a triple dip recession and the pound is losing value.

QE money flooding in. A stated intention of the FED. The idea is, it makes people feel richer, so spend more. But they forget it's just the 1% getting all the pie.

loner term trends are viewed on more longer term time frames.

It is true that right now if you look at the 5, 10, 15, 30 and hourly charts it seems we are now on an uptrend. However, when you view the daily and weekly timeframes (which are a better indicator of trends) it still shows that we are simply moving inside of a channel that is still trending down.

We are hoever reaching a point where sustained movement up will seemingly break that channel.

I must admit I dont ,its at a very intresting point ,above not so good for my bearish Aud thoughts ,
Dow is linked to risky assets I do know that but I dont think id ever fully understand mechanics ,
also the thing driving I think id be right in saying is forever going through cycle (dont quote me)

If your a novice like me Im thinking theres other stuff to get your head around

I completely agree with the things i aint got my head around yet, its why i dont try to get overly technical too often. Whenever i get really deep into technical analysis or start to feel like im getting a grip of the fundamentals something happens to make me think i really know nothing still. The more i know the less i understand.

However, purely from the perspective of trading for profit and looking for markets that seem to produce more favourable shifts that can be very extreme i like trading the Dow. Looking at your chart shows the huge swings that occur and i find it a safer bet over the long term that trades will prove successful. Im already heavily short on the Dow and have been since 14,000. Im more confident trading here than anywhere else.

Ok correction so far , 5148 limit for down watching , break can have a good chance more correction & then watching level add 5186 & then 5222 . may not yet & if so so then expecting to the bottom & down soon . so 5148 is the level for the decision specially . again 5058 remain the level for further up above 5148.

feeling quite confident we have not reached the bottom yet from this trend. This correction so far is along expected lines but i dont see much more from it.

going to bed, will be back in 8 hours
