Markets 7/15/09

Please notice how strong this rally was. Letters b to g show reactions where the closes are completely contained within the previous large up bar. The selling was unable to drive prices down beneath the low of that bar on a close basis. 93.51 is a buying climax. The next bar is a test on low volume and then prices break through the previous low (small blue line) and fall smartly making a lower low. A rally follows which ends with a two bar reversal at a lower high. This is a set up as we have shown before for a gap down opening.
Volume is sharply lower. Volume does not look like the beginning of a new bull move, but that is one of the few bearish things one can say about this chart. The other is to far too fast.
