The markets are taking a beating today. The SPDR S&P 500 ETF (NYSEARCA:SPY) is trading at $130.44, -1.76 (-1.33%). While things look ugly, there is a major silver lining showing up. This is a positive divergence between the markets and the U.S. Dollar.

Today, the U.S. Dollar Index is surging higher since 9:50 am EST putting…

The PowerShares DB US Dollar Index Bullish (NYSEARCA:UUP) has a clear head and shoulders pattern on the daily chart. Head and shoulders patterns are bearish in nature and usually mean more downside for that particular chart. This pattern has triggered on the UUP which is the Dollar tracking ETF. Because the Dollar trades inverse to the markets, the markets could see a little more upside in the coming days. This would be prior to the next fall that is on the horizon.

Sometimes it is scary to see manipulation in full swing in the stock market. Actually, it is always scary to think such blatant manipulation can occur and by the leading powers in the "free" world. Let's set the stage. The markets opened slightly lower. No big deal here. They slowly inched lower on light volume, heading for the master support of $133.80 on the SPDR S&P 500 ETF (NYSEARCA:SPY). This level was the gap window from Friday and had also touched yesterday. Simply put, it is key…

The markets pushed into the master $133.30 level on the SPDR S&P 500 ETF (NYSEARCA:SPY). This level was given to members weeks ago as the probable short term top on the market. Sure enough, this level was hit early in the trading day and the markets reversed immediately. Obviously, shorts were taken and are in the money already. A negative close today would solidify a short term market top.



The crescendo of jubilation in the media and the public coincided perfectly with this…
