NEAR TERM: It really is the end of the year. The 96% Bullish on 12/28 was excessive. The micro trading profiles remain acute, annoying and likely unimportant, in the near term? I saw upside from 12/20 into here. Now a downside option is brewing. into 1/13. It is a Two Way street.
MARKET SUMMARY: Equity deterioration is due to reassert itself. Weakness remains due into February/March 2022. As expected, Inflation
may provide a two way market that no one expects. Hyperinflation will happen this year. It will be very bullish for some assets. Interesting Times.
There is a large bear flag channel in place, with a 34830-ish upside resistance line. The bear minimum for this pattern on the downside is 4660 and if it breaks below, then all out panic may hit quickly.
Summary: The santa rally was a success and we have the normal crew calling for another melt up year, as they were just warning of a 20% drop at the lows. There are warning signs everywhere and we could reverse lower anywhere up here and it would make sense. If the bulls continue, watch the 4830 as resistance. 4660 is the minimum downside target for the bear flag pattern. I will continue to use any strength to build a short position. Have a Happy New Year and see you in 2022! G
