January almost finished - no real change

So the market maintains its rally since New Year, and now in wait mode;

1. Fed
2. China - Trade

Market sentiment (use CNBC!)
Kramer declared bear market over
Bulls are back, supported by view that Fed will not raise or only raise once


but...  even cyclical bear markets last 12-18 months - so far 3 months

Obviously markets don't go straight down, and classic bear market rallies suck in shorts and bulls to believe that the BULL is back..

Charts don't lie
A lot of damage done technically in the autumn fall..

Look at the DOW charts for various time frames


Dow monthly

No real change but updated view with recent price action
still see that the rally has not recovered the broken trend line (rally from 2016)
coincidence? 
the 61.8 % retrace of the 2016 rally coincides with the 38.2 % retrace of the 2008 rally , which coincides with the up trend line from 2008
TOO many coincidences?
IF the market trades towards these "coincidences" looking at DOW around 19k -20k



The weekly and daily are self explanatory.
Bumping against the down trend.
Weekly RSI show clearly the "wait mode"
