The market is setting up for a move here.

Stock Barometer Analysis
The barometer remains in Sell (Resistance) Mode. This is how the barometer
incorporates technical analysis such as support and resistance.
The Stock Barometer is my proprietary market timing system. The direction
or slope of the Stock Barometer helps determine our outlook on the market's
direction. For example, if the barometer line is moving down, we are in Sell
Mode. A Buy or Sell Signal is triggered when the indicator clearly changes
direction. The black line is a 5 day moving average of the barometer
and may be used to confirm changes in direction. All the information contained
in this email is considered in making our calls.
Stock Barometer Cycle Time
Monday is day 12 in our down cycle.
The Stock Barometer signals follow 5, 8, 13, 21 and sometimes 34 day Fibonacci
cycles that balance with 'normal' market cycles. Knowing where you are in
the current market cycle is important in deciding how long you expect to
maintain a position.
Potential Cycle Reversal Dates
2007 Potential Reversal Dates: 1/10, 1/14, 1/27, 1/31, 2/3, 2/15, 3/9.
We publish these dates up to 2 months in advance.
Saturday is a key reversal date - suggesting that the next move will be lower
into 2/15. Note that we added the next two dates. If I'm totally wrong, and
we get a continuation of the advance into 2/15, that will set up the next move
lower into 3/9.
My Additional timing work is based on numerous cycles and has resulted
in the above potential reversal dates. These are not to be confused with
the barometer cycle times. However, due to their accuracy I post the dates
here. These dates are used to influence how quickly we issue a buy or sell
signal.
2006 potential reversal dates: 1/16, 1/30, 2/25, 3/19, 4/8, 5/8, 5/19,
6/6(20), 7/24, 8/20, 8/29, 9/15, 10/11, 11/28.
2005 Potential reversal dates based on 'other' cycle work were 12/27, 1/25,
2/16, 3/4, 3/14, 3/29, 4/5, 4/19, 5/2, 6/3, 6/10, 7/13, 7/28, 8/12, 8/30-31,
9/22, 10/4, 11/15, 11/20, 12/16.
The following work is based on my spread/momentum indicators for
the QQQQ, SPY, XAU, GLD and TLT. They are tuned to deliver signals in line
with the Stock Barometer and we use them only in determining our overall
outlook for the market and for pinpointing market reversals. I provide
the spread indicator charts at least weekly and when they deliver reversal
signals. The level, direction, and position to the zero line are keys in
these indicators. For example, direction determines mode and a buy signal
'above zero' is more bullish than a buy signal 'below zero'.
QQQQ & SPY Spread Indicator
The QQQQ and SPY Spread Indicators remain in Buy Mode, at or above zero.
The QQQQ and SPY Spread Indicators will yield their own buy and sell signals
and may be in Buy and Sell Mode that is different from the Stock Barometer.
Gold & Silver Sector Index Spread Indicator (Index:XAU.X)
The XAU and Gold Spread Indicators remain in Sell mode, above zero.
The dollar Spread Indicator remains in Sell Mode, below zero.
I monitor Gold in the form of GLD and the XAU as well as the US Dollar
Index as a general guide to the overall health of the US Economy and the
markets, as well as to assist us in the entry of positions in our Gold Stock
Service.
Bonds Spread Indicator (AMEX:TLT)
The Bond Spread Indicator remains in Buy Mode, below zero.
I include bonds in our studies and use Lehman's 20 year ETF, as the direction
of bonds can have an impact on the stock market. Normally, as bonds go down,
stocks will go up and as bonds go up, stocks will go down.
Supporting Secondary Chart

I have over 100 technical indicators, some that are widely followed and
some that are proprietary. These indicators break down the market internals,
sentiment and money flow and give us unique insight into the market. I feature
at least one here each day in support of our current outlook.
Summary of Daily Outlook
We remain in Sell Mode, looking for the market to move lower into 2/15.
Here's how that set's up in a chart of the Qs:
