I didn't think I would be posting so much to day but there are a number of interesting things happening with the charts. Someone mentioned to me that there's a "phi" date coming up this week, so who knows. I'm in the camp that this doesn't seem like the time to be hopping on top of a trend that's already gone this long, in the teeth of potential channel lines like the ones on this chart of the transports and also the NDX (Nasdaq 100) as Andre Gratian showed for NDX this weekend. Volume has been falling off the last few days. Let's keep an eye on how the transports may react going into this area. At minimum this is a "yellow light" of caution. If it turns into a red light, then we want to be correctly positioned.
Update: I've added a set of Fibonacci retrace levels to mark how far the pullback up is retracing to the all-time high. Looks like the .382 would be at 3435, if the Transports "need" to get there. (So, already retraced .236 of the way back to the highs.) Also - let's remember that the Dow Transports are a key part of Dow Theory, which is one reason why I like to keep an eye on them (the other being that they do provide a good indicator of economic activity.) As I understand it, the transports would have to get above 3737 to trigger a significant event in Dow Theory. Not sure if that would be called a primary trend change or what the terminology would be (I look to Tim Wood of Cycles News & Views for that), but that will be a key level to watch. Also to keep an eye on, the .786 retrace to 3737 would be at 3394, and the .707 retrace was at 3267.
