Ah, I misread what you meant by that HnS chart and the text. weeee bit tired seeing as it's 6AM. my apologies
How I see it is the pressure is brewing. So question: where is it going to pop? The developments that have been taking place behind the scenes (of which you are aware, per the astro threads), are, to me, very bullish however.
So, considering that, it's too risky for me to be short of any sort at this particular point in time, especially when it's contradictory with how I personally analyze the market. Since my thinking is that we've been in a primary uptrend since pizza, with a few secondary down trends, (trend is your friend, etc) I understand that it's very risky to bet against the trend, even if trying to follow a secondary trend (as Charles Dow warned).the only way I'll sell is as we go up if we go up too fast ie on the climb of a bubble.
I am trying to learn some TA too, can never be a bad perspective to have. However, for some, focusing on and following a strict arbitrary mathematical rules can make certain people not focus as much as they should on considering the simple perspective of what's going on here. You do note that:
"One last thing, I follow some people using (advanced) mathematical systems (e.g. Gann, Elliot, Fib, etc.) and they aren't right any more than the simpletons that I see. It seems to be a toss up. Though, the really good players are probably not "playing" on the forums and such. "
So, it's probably a bit of both TA and psychology that the good major players implement. TA would be useful in determining pressure points and also in determining how people that use TA solely are going to react. But they also look at the market sentiment and future dynamics. "Would a series of dumps here make people panic?" "How should I accumulate without too much slippage" etc etc
I think my point is, either we can think like market makers, or we can be market easy targets. I do not believe for a second that the people that have influence in the market are following a TA trading system trying to scoop tops and bottoms like that of Goomboo's journal. Keep things simple and perhaps it's easier to see the market for what it really is
now, I need sleep, don't do anything crazy without me!!
