July 18

This corrective wave continues to be inscrutable to me.

The 60-minute system is still getting faked out / thrown around. Because we keep getting spike bottoms and tops on no divergence. So I am getting no normal exit signals and only emergency signals.

Oddly, my 15-minute system (which I stopped publishing in Oct 2011) is working quite well in this environment. There is just enough volatile non-trending movement with divergences that manifest on the 15-min timeframe that it can take advantage of and is giving clear signals.

The last few signals from the 15-minute system:

Based on the phasing of signals, I would expect a roll-over in the next couple of days. This would be consistent with my 'corrective' 60-min MACD setting in the chart below.

I still think the move up is very corrective and this is my best (and likely incorrect) guess as to what's happening.
