Stocks aren’t getting much of a bounce from support this time around. I have them pegged in a channel downward. A break in support below (red bubble) will drive most currencies, such as the carry, down down down. A break higher through the channel resistance (green bubble) will give them breathing room until hitting the major resistance again. In a sense, looking at this is like looking at an average of most currencies, and averaging out the significant support and resistance levels.
The two choices we see clearly in front of me reminds me of one of my favorite poems – here I get a bit wistful. It’s a pretty popular poem, I’m not a literary guru but I do know the well-known stuff and I love this. Robert Frost’s “Road Less Traveled”.
Two roads diverged in a yellow wood,
And sorry I could not travel both
And be one traveler, long I stood
And looked down one as far as I could
To where it bent in the undergrowth;
Then took the other, as just as fair,
And having perhaps the better claim,
Because it was grassy and wanted wear;
Though as for that the passing there
Had worn them really about the same,
And both that morning equally lay
In leaves no step had trodden back.
Oh, I kept the first for another day!
Yet knowing how way leads on to way,
I doubted if I should ever come back.
I shall be telling this with a sigh
Somewhere ages and ages hence:
Two roads diverged in a wood, and I-
I took the one less traveled by,
And that has made all the difference.
