Cherry Picking The Diamonds From The Stock Market

Options and Stock Market Technical Chart Analysis for August 12, 2009 by Idan Koren

Today we looked at the strong rally on high volume and what it meant for the markets moving forward. I added a lot to my shorts in preparation for a continuation of the sell side as the market failed to stay above the channel support. With that in mind, i show the H&S formation that have been forming on the markets, and the neckline levels that need to be breached in order for us to see more downside. I have September puts on BEN, GLD (gold), XLF and SPY. My stops are placed in comparison to the SPY 101.65 level.
