The S&P 500 continues to act like a market wants to break down much more sharply than it has hitherto done before. Its trip back to the 1400 level this week did not last very long as it met up with some rather heavy selling; selling that appears to be of a nature of one that is now looking to sell rallies rather than buy dips.

To confirm at least some sort of short term top in this market, I would need to see this thing close stronlgy below the 1350 level. That level held it in check back in February of this year so a good close below it would tell us that even the longs are getting tired of holding this market higher.

Notice how the MACD indicator shows a market that has been basically GRINDING higher rather than one that has been moving strongly higher on good momentum. It is almost as if no one believes this thing should be where it is and yet it has kept pushing up.

Upside Momentum has now declined notably with the indicator barely registering above the ZERO level before it is now threatening to roll back over again.

If the Fed and the boyz are going to act to prop it up, they had better hurry because it has all the makings of a market that could make a very sharp downside move.

Keep in mind that the level of the US equity markets have now become "national security" issues as far as the monetary authorities are concerned. While they are high-fiving themselves over what they have managed to pull off in the commodity sector and in the Treasury markets where interest rates continue to plummet (GOOD - the US government can borrow even more money and pay next to nothing to the chumps that lend money to it), they no doubt are keenly watching the equity market charts.

Take a look at the weekly chart where the indicator is generating its first sell signal since early last year.
