    Nice stats Cy, interesting to know :eek: breaking 39 seems to be almost a sure thing, and 49 is definitely very doable

    just a slight correction to this chart i had posted ... actually those are dj30 closing highs as of august 7th 1900 through august 7th 2017! whoops! knew i was screwing something up there lol :D

    here is the correct chart showing the "full year" 1900 through 2017-

    [​IMG]

    that looks much more accurate! my bad lol

    so, actually in 2013 there were 52 ATH closes for the dj30 for that full year and the record was in 1995 with 70 (wow!) record closes for that full year ... so we're only at the halfway point of that mark right now ... but hey we still have another 4 months of the trading year left! anything is possible :p

    but, i'm not so sure we'll be able to double our current mark by EOY personally ... we'll see! :D

    The DOW just turned red (for now) and the SPX really pulling back from the highs

    yeah this is a very interesting reversal here ... looks like @Baggi's idea of a spike high then a quick pullback in the RTH may have just happened ... i'll be very interested to see how we close the day out today ... if we close anywhere near or at the lows of the day that would look pretty ominous imo

    markets trying to hold here for now though...

    the current streak of 9 months without a -3% pullback for the spx is the second longest streak ever on record, only the mid-90s saw a longer streak :eek:

    [​IMG]

    additionally, if the dj30 ends higher today that would make it 11 up days in a row. incredibly that would be the 2nd time this year we've seen 11 consecutive up days in a row. since 1896, that has never happened twice in the same year!

    can't open the platform right now but could someone confirm if this was an outside reversal day for the spx?

    looks like that last minute stick save for the cash spx marked today the 14th consecutive close between +/-0.30% or less! apparently that's never been done before

    yeah not an overly huge reaction as of yet but the futures are definitely noticeably active tonight as of now ... curious to see if this really does intensify on the downside or if the markets will just blow it off as its done time and time and time again :p

    I don't think it was global unrest that started this pullback. I think there are a lot of factors at work and the whole North Korea thing may have caused a larger pullback today than was going to happen, but, we started coming back down before the whole North Korea thing.

    Anyway, I think a lot of people and institutions are going to take some profits and are all planning on at least a 3% down move here. I think we move at least to the 2420 area before heading back up. I'm really hoping we pull back to the 2275 area first though, before we head up more before Christmas.

    Might see a little red, don't see much though. New buyers are lined up waiting for a pullback.
