S&P500 breaks out of triangle November 17th 2011


Will the move be confirmed?  That is the question but a clear breakdown in the S&P 500 occurred today.

Trade with caution, Europe is by far from solved.  The US "supercommittee" has failed until now to agree on a solution.  China has stood its ground on many issues, demonstrating a shift of power to the east.  Japan is continuing to print to keep the Yen from appreciating.     

The purple line is where I see as a huge level.

EURUSD Short term Triangle - Technical Analysis - November 2, 2011 12:52 AM EST


I would not be surprised to see this triangle breakdown and make a run for short term lows.  No news is bullish for the EURO, the deal that was reached last week to save the Eurozone has been tossed out the window with the Greek Referendum called.  No one can expect a country that is being squeezed by an economic slowdown along withe riots and crippling strikes, will vote for more pain in the short run.
