Economic reports and more market observations in todays other posts. The larger inflection point of 06/30 which we mentioned 06/16 occured 2 trading days later and started this downswing.
Redux?? It has been 6 weeks plus one day since the beginning of the 3rd inversion - 2 above 10 on 06/08. In 2000, inversion started 01/26, 6 weeks later, kaput 03/10.
In 2000, 01/26 began the inversion, 17 weeks later 05/24 a headfake to the upside. Wen 07/26 it will be 17 weeks since the END of the 1st inversion 03/29.
In 2000, 03/10 started the slide, 11 weeks minus 2 days later, 05/24 started a headfake to the upside that lasted 8 weeks minus 2 days. Mon. 07/24 it will be 11 weeks since the downturn on 05/08.
We think a major inflection point is coming either Mon 24th or Mon 31st. Headfake ??? or an Israeli invasion and the bottom really drops out??? Let's see.
