The S&#038;P 500 was launching off critical support that kept the index within its breakout territory and following the 50DMA trend upward. Since then, the S&#038;P 500 stalled, making little progress. On Tuesday, the stock market began the month with a strong rally that generated fresh multi-year highs for the Dow Jones Industrial and took the S&#038;P 500 close its own multi-year highs. It has been all downhill since. The current selling seems to be flagging a topping pattern with this week delivering the first lower high of the 2012 rally.<\/p>\n<p><center><br \/>\n<figure id=\"attachment_11451\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-11451\" style=\"width: 490px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a href=\"http:\/\/drduru.com\/onetwentytwo\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/05\/120504_SP500.png\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/drduru.com\/onetwentytwo\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/05\/120504_SP500.png\" alt=\"S&amp;P 500 seems to be topping\" title=\"S&amp;P 500 seems to be topping\" width=\"500\" height=\"350\" class=\"size-full wp-image-11451\" srcset=\"https:\/\/drduru.com\/onetwentytwo\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/05\/120504_SP500.png 500w, https:\/\/drduru.com\/onetwentytwo\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/05\/120504_SP500-300x210.png 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 500px) 100vw, 500px\" \/><\/a><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-11451\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">S&P 500 seems to be topping<\/figcaption><\/figure><br \/>\n<\/center><\/p>\n<p>Traders must assume that the S&#038;P 500 has now printed a lasting top. Such a top would be consistent with another scramble to sell in May (see my last &#8220;sell-in-May&#8221; analysis in &#8220;<a href=\"http:\/\/seekingalpha.com\/article\/554481-if-you-must-sell-in-may-choose-the-start-or-the-end-of-the-month\" target=\"_blank\">If You Must Sell In May, Choose The Start Or The End Of The Month<\/a>&#8220;). Only fresh highs will break this latest bearish spell.<\/p>\n<p>Note well that this pattern does not mean trading will become instantly easy for bears going forward. The market has now gone nowhere for two months, churning up and down, providing alternating periods of chills and thrills. This could very well continue for weeks more. T2108 now sits at a very neutral 39%, so it provides no directional guidance. I expected it to trip overbought this past week in time for selling in May, but T2108 only got as high as 60% on May 1. I now switch my forecast to expect oversold conditions before overbought conditions occur again. The bounce from oversold conditions could be relatively sharp and deliver some brief upward momentum as some bears get caught scrambling to close out short positions. However, my overall bias is now officially bearish. That is, I no longer expect a break to new 52-week (multi-year highs) anytime soon. While I have no downside target, I will be looking to fade rallies and aggressively trade against stocks retesting resistance levels or breaking critical support.<\/p>\n<p>I have posted chart reviews on stocks that all look very vulnerable here: <a href=\"http:\/\/drduru.com\/onetwentytwo\/2012\/05\/05\/yelp-earnings-confirm-blow-off-top\/\" target=\"_blank\">YELP<\/a>, <a href=\"http:\/\/drduru.com\/onetwentytwo\/2012\/05\/05\/larger-downside-looms-baidu\/\" target=\"_blank\">BIDU<\/a>, and <a href=\"http:\/\/drduru.com\/onetwentytwo\/2012\/05\/05\/shutterfly-headed-52week-lows\/\" target=\"_blank\">SFLY<\/a>. There are many others. <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/#!\/search\/%24SI%20%23120trade\" target=\"_blank\">I closed out a put on Siemens (SI) on Friday<\/a>. It made sense as fears of European recession constantly grow. This is an example of a change in my thinking. Previously, I was looking for opportunities to buy into Europe&#8217;s malaise. I now think the odds favor the other side until at least the market delivers another crescendo of selling. The chart below shows how much Siemens is suffering as it breaks to prices last seen close to October&#8217;s lows. The rapidly declining 200DMA is likely to combine with the 50DMA to provide firm resistance for months to come.<\/p>\n<p><center><br \/>\n<figure id=\"attachment_11455\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-11455\" style=\"width: 490px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a href=\"http:\/\/drduru.com\/onetwentytwo\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/05\/120504_SI.png\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/drduru.com\/onetwentytwo\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/05\/120504_SI.png\" alt=\"Siemens sell-off continues\" title=\"Siemens sell-off continues\" width=\"500\" height=\"350\" class=\"size-full wp-image-11455\" srcset=\"https:\/\/drduru.com\/onetwentytwo\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/05\/120504_SI.png 500w, https:\/\/drduru.com\/onetwentytwo\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/05\/120504_SI-300x210.png 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 500px) 100vw, 500px\" \/><\/a><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-11455\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Siemens sell-off continues<\/figcaption><\/figure><br \/>\n<\/center><\/p>\n<p>My Caterpillar (CAT) watch is also confirming bearish undertones.

The VIX has been making a slow comeback since I last wrote the T2108 Update. The VIX has been stymied by resistance around 21 for most of this year. A break above that level will open the floodgates for bearish sentiment. This level was the flashpoint for a lot of the drama in 2011. It last broke to the upside in late July&#8230;and we know what happened after that!<\/p>\n<p><center><br \/>\n<figure id=\"attachment_11458\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-11458\" style=\"width: 490px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a href=\"http:\/\/drduru.com\/onetwentytwo\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/05\/120504_VIX.png\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/drduru.com\/onetwentytwo\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/05\/120504_VIX.png\" alt=\"The volatility index looks more and more ominous - the 21-flashpoint looks much less likely to contain a fresh surge of bearish sentiment\" title=\"The volatility index looks more and more ominous - the 21-flashpoint looks much less likely to contain a fresh surge of bearish sentiment\" width=\"500\" height=\"350\" class=\"size-full wp-image-11458\" srcset=\"https:\/\/drduru.com\/onetwentytwo\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/05\/120504_VIX.png 500w, https:\/\/drduru.com\/onetwentytwo\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/05\/120504_VIX-300x210.png 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 500px) 100vw, 500px\" \/><\/a><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-11458\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">The volatility index looks more and more ominous - the 21-flashpoint looks much less likely to contain a fresh surge of bearish sentiment<\/figcaption><\/figure><br \/>\n<\/center><\/p>\n<p>Friday&#8217;s pop allowed me to exit a position in VXX May 4 calls with a very slight profit.
