Not ready to break out yet

My best take on the market at this moment is that the overall structure remains constructive for a bullish case. But the ingredients from a momentum perspective and from the internals configuration doesn't allow for a breakout just yet !. In the VST (over the next couple of days) we could see NQ test the 1740 area and the SPX cash test the 1320 area followed by a failure. The failure should retest the SPX 1290 area which is now a solid support.

My expectation is largely based on the momentum and EMA configuration that i am seeing on the SPX daily charts. From the internals perspective, the markets have been rallying in the face of the NYSE summation index drifting lower. This means the money is leaving the markets without causing much price damage, which is not necessarily bearish relative to the overall strength of the weekly cumulative A/D line itself. LOL, i was right about the summation index making a trip to the zero line. I thought that would have been accompanied with severe price damage. Boy, was i wrong ! This market seems stronger than i thought. Now once the zero line trip is complete, by which time we should see a minor price damaage, which i mentioned earlier i.e a trip to 1290 on the SPX.

Now the million dollar question in my opinion begins after that ? Will the summation index turn up from the zero line ? If it does, imagine what would happen to the sideline money, the bears etc ? I think that would create some serious upside pressure. I guess it's not clear at this point whether we cross thru the zero line or have a rejection at the zero line. So it's putting the cart in front of the horse. We will deal with it when we get there.

For now, my expectation is a a VST move higher to about SPX cash 1320 and a failure, a retest of 1290 and then.....
