S&P 500 Index SPX
This chart shows an island reversal at the top, created by the
first exhaustion gap atth etop of the chart, followed by a
continuation or breakaway gap which led into yesterday's
waterfall decline. we wer e looking for a decline to 2607 - the
low was 2593, some 14 points out. Close but no cigar. As with
the Dow this index has collapsed 10% (2584 is 10% off the
top), within 9 points exactly. In 2 days. Fast, sharp two day
declines are a sign of a strong market. Additionally, the S&P
has touched long term dynamic support at the nadir and has
left spikes off it. Can get long again on dips now looking for a
retest of the highs. Stops below 2640 for smallish loss if wrong
from here.

Raise stop to 2643 for break even if this falls away again from here - if so will look to buy again from 2622
Comment:
Continuation pattern in formation: looking to buy on break above the minor falling parallel above price now with stops below the same parallel once broken above
Comment:
A beautiful worry free break out of the continuation pattern with no stops hit or even threatened - the best kind of break...raise stop to 7672 for 38 or profit if it fails later
