    The market roller coaster took a break on Friday as markets reconsidered the assumptions made over the last week about

    European bank and the US economy. While traders and investors are right to be questioning the sustainability of European

    banks and the growth of the US economy they chose to ignore any possibility of reasonable resolution. Confidence in the

    wisdom and capabilities of institutions and leaders vanished until today where investors and traders found themselves

    feeling better about the near term and even hopeful that the future may resolve positively. Continued strong corporate

    earnings and a lack of news flow contributed to the improved sentiment. We forecast the market to rebound from here

    but how far we cannot say. For now a bottom is in place. The analysis is for educational purposes only and not a solicita-

    tion to buy or sell any security at any time. The comments are made in the context of ETF position trading and Forex po-sition trading. Visit my technical analysis blog for more information at http://www.sealionllc.com

    The fear subsides but will it stay this way?

    bullish channel and have found short-term

    resistance.

    for consolidation

    Prices testing lower channel support and needto reverse quickly to maintain the rally

    lower but more likely the channel nee ds to be

    redrawn or this is a temporary noisy over-

    shoot.

    Prices have no violated the channel support

    and are trying a back test. The back looks

    weak in nature.

    head lower gyrating around their median line.

    channel and at resistance of redrawn channel.

    With resistance tested and in place prices

    have moved lower and begin their move to the

    bottom of the channel.

    Prices move aggressively half way across the

    channel and are driving toward channel

    bottom.

    Prices reached channel bottom and have

    bounced. The hammer bottom should hold

    and prices should rise from here.

    Prices are gyrating sideways and forming a

    base from which they can bounce. The

    bounce may be short lived.

    Prices overshot channel and horizontal

    support but another hammer should start

    the rally back across the channel.

    The bottom is in. The inverted head and

    shoulders pattern is complete and prices have

    taken out the highs of the consolidation.

    Prices have bounced with an inverted head and shoulders bottom and moved higher. This will

    serve as the near term low and prices should recapture positive momentum. The political concerns

    have distorted the market in the short term moving prices beyond any rational trend. With atten-

    tion on the sovereign debt issue diminishing attention will return to micro issues such as earnings

    performance and an accommodative federal reserve.

    mation with a new high.

    Prices are lower and now sit at the median line. A short term bounce is possible but prices will go

    lower. Pessimism over the Euro zone will continue to weigh on the pair.

    Chart# 3EUR/USD, Eurodollar Chart Notes: Markets bullish trend broken with

    violation of prior swing low.

    Markets bounces and reverses but puts

    in a lower high.

    Market retests $1.40 low and if it holds

    a sideways channel is in place.

    Prices reverse on support in an evening

    star reversal in a show of strength and

    the markets wiliness to be open to risk.

    Prices have failed to advance the

    reversal and are now below the reversal

    high. A retest of lower channel support

    looks likely.

    Prices made a dead-cat bounce and

    will head lower to range support.

    Prices have edged higher but are still

    below the median line and are poised to

    reverse.

    Prices rallied just short of the prior high

    and have begun to possibly reverse. A

    reversal would correlate with a down-

    turn in equities.

    The Euro strengthens against a weak

    dollar and mild concern over the US

    debt ceiling crisis. Prices will reverse

    shortly.

    Prices reversed hard today and a new

    downtrend has begun.

    Prices paused in their move down but

    this is temporary as the next moves are

    lower.

    Prices finished lower but have not

    closed lower than the lows of last

    week. A break of the median line will

    accelerate the selloff.

    Watch for a short term bounce at the

    median line before prices continue

    lower.

    Prices have returned to the media line

    with the focus off the US debt ceiling

    and squarely on Ital y and Spain. L ower

    Euro will continue.

    Price continues to dance along the

    median line. As near term momentum

    continues to slow it will setup the next

    more dramatic move to the downside.

    Why Sea Lion Capital Management?

    Everyone needs help investing money. Whether for retirement or addi-

    tional income everyone wants to benefit from our free market capitalist

    system to increase their wealth. The problem is most individual investors

    lose money. In every trade there is a winner and a loser and the global

    marketplace moves so fast and is so complex the "Average Joe" investor

    has no chance. Most individual investors end up losing money in misplaced

    stocks and mutual funds. The psychological pain of watching hard earned

    money be lost makes most individual investors "buy high and sell low".

    More than half of all managed mutual funds cannot even keep up with the

    market indexes. If you have invested in the past and are frustrated with

    the lack of quality returns we can help.

    The Difference

    Sea Lion Capital is a unique approach to wealth management. While most

    investment advisors require their clients to have hundreds of thousands of

    dollars we can work with you with as little as $10,000. Most investmentadvisors require you to use an expensive broker whereas Sea Lion Capital

    is partners with one whose commission fees are some of the lowest in the

    industry. We know everyone is concerned about wealth management but

    few know what to do about it. The internet has revolutionized home mort-

    gages, tax services, insurance, and other financial services - the time has

    come for Investment Advisory services as well.
