No reason to get excited

No reason to get excited
The thief he kindly spoke
There aren't many here among us
That feel that life is but a joke
But you and I we've been through that
And this is not our fate
So let us not talk falsely now
The hour is getting late

Below an update on the DJIA and VXX, the charts countering the love-fest on CNBC  as the market etches out yet another Wave 2 rally.  Note the Fibonacci levels and where the the longer term (Daily) trend model gives up the ghost and flips LONG.....hint.....it's a long way up there....10,951.

 For very short term trading


Another indication for short-term trading only


Conversely mirroring the above two DJIA charts


The dominant trend for position traders


Is this rally the beginning of a spanking new uptrend, or an opportunity to enter new Short positions in concert with the dominant trend?  The weight of the evidence suggests the latter, unless and until the 0.618 Fibonacci levels are clearly exceeded.

MMRF is taking a 16% haircut this morning. Fox Business and others published their Sharholders Letter:

Allan- Do you believe that the VXX chart is a fair representation of the actual VIX? It seems that there is a significant tracking error between the two. I guess my question is: could that tracking error effect the chart?
