Stocks: any clues?

I’ve previously mentioned how I’m reading reports suggesting that recent stock market action is reflecting a bear market rally whilst others are saying this is the start of a new Bull market. I’ve taken a look at the weekly charts of some stocks and US indices to look for clues of either beahviour.

The best I can come up with though is that most are still consolidating before their next major move BUT whether that move is up or down is still not clear. Many of these instruments are trading within Flag patterns and are currently holding above the 50% retracement fib of their recent swing high moves. (I often talk about the 61.8% fib but the 50% fib has its place in the annals of support too). At least these Flag patterns give us trend lines to watch for any breakout activity; either up or down!

S&P500 weekly: still consolidating above monthly support but within a Flag.
