<![CDATA[The hallmark of a bull market is the fact that the money simply doesn't leave the market. Over the past seven weeks or so, there were ample opportunities for the market to correct. It didn't, and now it has broken higher once more. In fact, other than the Russell 2000 (NYSEARCA:IWM), all the indexes have broken higher at this juncture. It will correct at some point, but a lack of selling dooms those looking for a correction at this juncture. Until that fact changes, it is more of the same.

<![CDATA[To say that Apple (NASDAQ:AAPL) has fallen from grace would be an understatement of epic proportions. To fall from $705 to $388 in a matter of a few months is not a correction; that is a blowout. Just take a look at the magnitude of the fall.

To lose 45% of one's market value in six months is not a correction; it's a disaster.
 
But look closely at the chart. The losses bring Apple all the way back to where the company first took off from in a suspect manner. A breakout over a swing point high ]]>

For the better part of half a century, technical analysis was mostly about patterns like triangles, channels, heads and shoulders, etc. With the advent of computers and a proliferation of charting software, pattern recognition continues and is heavily augmented with derivative indicators such as stochastic oscillators, moving average convergence divergence (MACD) and numerous others.

<![CDATA[One of the most difficult things to do as a trader/investor is to know when to shift gears. It's not like that '66 Ford Mustang where the shifting comes quite naturally. Shifting from a buy-the-dip bull leg higher to a range trade where you sell/short rallies and buy/cover on dips is not an easy transition, but it is one that has to be taken to stay ahead of the crowded trades.

<![CDATA[For the better part of three years, Apple (NASDAQ:AAPL) was the NASDAQ-100's (INDEXNASDAQ:NDX) savior, delivering expanding revenues and earnings quarter after quarter. Its ever-expanding percentage of that index, though recognized, never became an issue since the stock was almost always heading higher, and up is good when it comes to the market. For the past three plus months, that has changed; Apple is now a serious drag on the NDX's performance, which can easily be seen in this comparison chart.

Yes, there was talk of it on the daily time frame a couple months back and interesting enough, most scoffed at it. Well, Apple dropped almost 200 points from the highs in a beeline fashion -- far more than was called for by the technical set-up. Now it is forming the same pattern on the intermediate term time frame. Will it mean anything this ]]>

<![CDATA[MINYANVILLE ORIGINAL Last week the markets finally turned their trends on the intermediate term time frame. That hadn't happened since late summer of 2011. That usually ushers in a period of consolidation at best which, in this case, is the weekly charts. The worst case is that it is simply distribution rather than consolidation and the move off that break is lower, not higher. That's the danger, and it&#39;s a danger that has to be monitored carefully if you are a longer term investor.

<![CDATA[MINYANVILLE ORIGINAL Yesterday multiple indexes tested swing point highs and failed. That is a reasonably good sign that some sort of retrace is about to unfold. There's another indication that the probability of a retrace is upon us as well, and that has to do with knowing how long the current trend has been in place. Not only does it tell us that a retrace is highly probable, but it also provides us with a measure of the minimum amount it needs to retrace. Let me explain.

<![CDATA[MINYANVILLE ORIGINAL With today's launch of Apple&#39;s (NASDAQ:AAPL) new iPhone 5, I thought it fitting to take a hard look at the charts with the idea of understanding short and long term projections, and within that context, potential entry or add price points. Remember, qualified trend provides trend direction and the probability of trend continuance whereas anchor bars and the resultant zones provide timing.

With that in mind, the current state of Apple's trend is confirmed bullish on the short term, and suspect bullish on the intermediate and long term time frames. The long term "suspect" qualifier isn't a concern ]]>

<![CDATA[MINYANVILLE ORIGINAL Although I remain solidly of bullish bent, as a technician I have to always keep my ear to the ground examining the chart action that speaks to my expectations as well as against them. Ever since I began writing for Minyanville in late May I have attempted to demonstrate how the markets typically leave clues on the charts with respect to what they wish to do next and that, if you pay attention, you have an odds-on advantage over anyone who doesn't.
 
Many times those clues show up in general markets&#39; response to good or bad market-affecting news. ]]>

<![CDATA[MINYANVILLE ORIGINAL It wasn&#39;t all that long ago when the hottest of the hot IPOs made its debut in face-plant fashion. Yes, I am talking about Facebook (FB), the fanciful yarn that was touted as the IPO you had to get a piece of.
 
Now that the stock has lost more than 60% off of its overhyped and inflated IPO price, is it time for you to seriously consider stepping in? Technically the answer is not yet, and that's true even as Zuckerberg pledges to hold on to his shares. The time is, however, drawing near, and understanding what to ]]>

<![CDATA[MINYANVILLE ORIGINAL Sometimes you have to pull them down to push them up. Right now, that is the way this market is. The market&#39;s push higher and subsequent hang for the better part of a month appears to have set up a sell the news situation for Bernanke's Jackson Hole speech.

It all fits together nicely: Pull them down before Bernanke and watch the ECB push them back up again.
 
I recently talked about the idea of applying the engineering principal of mean-time-to-failure to qualified trends. As of yesterday, the needed reset of the short-term trend by breaking a swing ]]>

<![CDATA[MINYANVILLE ORIGINAL Yesterday multiple indexes tested swing point highs and failed. That is a reasonably good sign that some sort of retrace is about to unfold. There's another indication that the probability of a retrace is upon us as well, and that has to do with knowing how long the current trend has been in place. Not only does it tell us that a retrace is highly probable, but it also provides us with a measure of the minimum amount it needs to retrace. Let me explain.

The method that I speak of is a concept I borrowed from engineering. ]]>
