S&P 500 - Last 7 Days

Wild Ride S&P Style 2022-1-25

Two days ago the S&P 500 had an 195 point bottom-to-top rally to close slightly in the green.

Today, the index had a bottom-to-top rally of 104 points but closing 54 points lower, down about 1.22%.

Warning! 

Beware, these moves are signs liquidity is drying up. Also, beware of short-covering rallies that go nowhere. 

Shorts eventually have to cover and often do so at major support levels or after multiple down days. 

Rally failures are a sign of supply. Look back further. There were rally failures three of the last four days.

Expect More Down

The rally yesterday already collapsed today.I expect more down in 2022, lots more down.
