Well, thank you so much for that wonderful beginning. And again, that song was Lila June's Cheyenne Navajo song, All Nations Rise. And in that spirit I located here in the AMBS community in broader area, we acknowledge that we are presence on the traditional homeland of the Pockegon band of the Pottawatomie, a sovereign tribe. Despite the forced removal of many people, the Pockegon Pottawatomie have been using this land for formation and education for thousands of years and continue to do so. So thank you, Sarah, for bringing June's voice into this space and inviting us to rise up together. I have a few housekeeping items as we get started. This main session is being reported. The breakout sessions that will follow will not be reported. In view of that and in preparation for the breakout sessions, you may want to update your Zoom name as you see fit, perhaps including your location, your pronouns, or whatever you want to communicate to the fellow participants. We're going to invite you to keep your audio and your video off during the full group sessions to help other participants focus on the speaker. And with that, we want to again welcome you to the colloquium series on nonviolent action and movements for justice in 2020. My name is Jana Hunter Bowman. I'm Assistant Professor of Peace Studies and Christian Social Ethics at Anabaptist Mennonite Biblical Seminary. And in welcoming you, I'm joined by Jason Schenck and Sibo Nokushle Nokube. So I'll let them introduce themselves, please. Like Jana said, my name is Jason Schenck. I've been a Quaker Minister, focusing on the People's History of Elkhart Project and work with the Poor People's Campaign and National Call for More Revival. Good afternoon and welcome everyone. I am Sibo Nokushle Nokube, Humanitarian Relief and Development Practitioner and student at AMBS. I am currently a student assistant with the Peace Studies Department. Welcome once again. Serving as living alternative to violence through offering protection and seeking justice is an expression of a nearly 500 year tradition of Anabaptism. The communal non-violence is rooted in the conviction that violence is inconsistent with the person of Jesus and the life he led, a life the discipleship community shares. In this series, co-sponsored by the Crock Institute for International Peace at the University of Notre Dame. So again, this series is embedded in this colloquium. In this series, voices from different streams of non-violence, including communal liberationist and strategic non-violence will speak as witnesses to the power of non-violence in action. The events of 2020 are laying bare inequalities that have long plagued the United States and the global community. The intersections of the pandemic, ongoing racialized violence and hate-filled political rhetoric combined with the volatility of the upcoming US presidential elections are exposing the cost of the status quo and pushing each of us to examine our role as advocates for justice. This four-part series explores these issues and strategic non-violent responses. And to launch this series, we have Sarah Nahar. In the August 2020 edition of The Mennonite, Sarah Nahar wrote, to be a pacifist means to be willing to find alternatives to war wherever violence is showing up. Her life bears witness to this form of pacifism linked with liberation, lineage and village, the subtitle of the article. Many in this room already know this. For the friends, colleagues and co-conspirators, she's not yet met. I offer a few highlights. Sarah is a PhD student in the Department of Religion at Syracuse University and visiting instructor in the Department of Environmental Studies at the State University of New York's College of Environmental Science and Forestry. There she is asking the question, how do beliefs about the Earth and the End Times influence toileting practices of religious people?  Am I getting this right, Sarah? In other words, mainstreaming usage of composting toilets. Sarah is a licensed minister within the Central District Conference of Mennonite Church USA and co-consultant to the developing board of the Tolson Center in Elkhart, Indiana. She is also the former Executive Director of Christian Peacemaker Teams. Through these roles, she has provided leadership to multi-faith partnerships to transform violence and depression. But leadership through partnership is not always highly visible. For example, I for one have deeply appreciated your creative work with Mennonite Jewish Relations, Sarah. Sarah holds a BA from Spelman College and a Master of Divinity from Anabaptist Mennonite Biblical Seminary. Indeed, Sarah and I first met in those halls on the AMBS campus in her hometown in Watershed. We were both at AMBS as students at the time. The conversations we had in the student's lounge portend the life and witness to the power of non-violence in action for justice that I just sketched. Sarah, thank you so much for joining us again today and I turn it over to you. Thank you, thank you. It is so good to be with so many of you that represent indeed my village from whence I come into whom I'm accountable as well as those who've been working for liberation from so many lineages that bring us to this particular moment together. Where I wanna start is in Charlottesville in 2017. In many ways, a scenario that has happened many times in this soil of Turtle Island, but in some ways, a moment of a wake up call again for this generation as people of faith and conscience walked to a park in the center of Charlottesville, Virginia on the Nackenland and said, there is no place for hate here only for humanity. They expected to find a line of police officers that were defending the constitution of the United States in the sense of the status quo of the right to free speech and park permits and things of that nature for any group that wished to gather no matter their political belief. When they arrived at this park, however, where a group of people called unite the right so many different right wing groups that had similar and different philosophies but were coming together to oppose the changes that relate to many of the civil rights and human rights, indigenous rights and other gains over time were meeting. They were intending the unite the right was intending to rally there. Some of those organizers were just getting there but there weren't any cops in sight. They weren't blocking the park. So the leaders that had organized together representing a grassroots movement again of people of faith and conscience from many different organizations across the middle and the left said to themselves that we will stand here to try to make sure that there's no platform for hate today and seek a different way to engage one another. They then expected that eventually the state as in the police would come and disperse them because they were committing civil disobedience in that they were blocking a lawfully allowed group of people to the space that they had desired to access. But the state stood down and instead the people who had organized to create the unite the right rally right at the appointed time came from all angles on many sides to come to the place of their rally. This meant then instead of a clash with the police officers there was a civilian on civilian clash. All of a sudden the optics that the pastors and the other people of conscience had imagined would be there. Police dispersing them in order to allow for people who were armed and who were espousing violence to meet did not happen. All of a sudden the rights that the pastors and others knew they had when facing the state dissolved because they didn't have those same types of rights and same types of expectations when facing another civilian. Many of you saw those images from Charlottesville on August 12th and the months preceding it as well. As then what happened next was the state finally coming but instead of acting with force to resist the right wingers or to stop the platform for hate really did clear out those who were seeking to keep the peace, seeking to continue inclusion. Many things began to happen as civilian and civilian clashes spread throughout that area of Charlottesville and one included someone from the right, unite the right wing rally ramming their car at full speed into a crowd of people who sought to create inclusion and peace then backing up and trying to ram again. Heather here was killed, many others were injured. Those who had rallied with the clergy and other other folks such as Rednecks Revolveden and a number of other groups who had come to try to support Charlottesville residents in that space quickly mobilized their medical teams who are on the ground with people already. These are street medics. These are folks who've been trained up in direct first aid, not necessarily holding RNs or MDs but ready to assist. They were the first responders, they were there and around them the clergy and others created walls some facing in some facing out chains of protection. They began immediately to administer first aid and trauma. Finally, when the state's medical response team came, they came also accompanied by armed people who began to push out those medical first responders who began to break up the community's first response in another wave of violence and to stop people from even giving some of the CPR that was absolutely needed causing some people to go into even further critical condition. No one was shot directly in Charlottesville that day which was ended up being a surprise but it didn't happen. And so what we ended up seeing with Charlottesville was what I call a deterioration of democracy. There are many levels on which democracy can deteriorate and before August 12th as we prepared and were on the ground with civilians and community members and using the term civilians here we use it a lot in international humanitarian peace work. It means non-combatance. Someone who's not a part of a military police force. We were working and training civilians and unarmed civilian accompaniment and protection and how to be with one another in these times. They weren't sure how far democracy would deteriorate on that day and some expected the worst. Some expected all that warfare and bloodshed from handguns and rifles in the streets. We didn't know what the state would do. We had guesses and one of the guesses is that they would stand down to some extent but I wasn't sure what that would mean and we weren't sure when they would reengage. What all this does is paint a picture of something that has been changing in some ways since preparation for non-violent direct action, which we inherit from the black freedom struggle in the 60s, American Indian movement, the poor people's campaign and many other ways of mobilizing in which the state was very present and did a lot of the official repression. We've seen this also all the way through the 70s, 80s, 90s and 2000s. And so the current new deteriorations have to do with the state response being very different and allowing for certain symptoms to continue to have power within the space. As Mennonites and Anabaptists who were present that day and throughout our work, who have not necessarily desired to rely on the state at all nor continue to wish to do so, there's not a surprise that the state was not in a helpful role and also for many people of color and others who've experienced extreme amounts of state violence, it also wasn't a surprise that the state did what it did but it presents new challenges. One, the challenge of optics, another the challenge of communication, another the recognition that the expectations that you have from everything from pleading the fifth when you're speaking with an officer to knowing the rules of engagement that a state has where they have to tell you why you're being arrested and detained. They must say that you have one phone call should be taken to jail. All of these things are off when it comes to civilian or civilian conflict. The reason that understanding civilian or civilian conflict is important is because sub-state warfare is growing all over the world. And as we are potentially in an antebellum period now, the type of war that we will face that of course builds on the already undeclared constant war against black and brown people in this country will be one of sub-state warfare. We have a country of wash guns and as a sense of connection deteriorate, there is generally rises in violence and already we're in a situation where there are mass shootings each day. The war that will be coming will not look like the ones that necessarily we've had in the past here but there's a lot of knowledge about these types of wars from around the world as well as in people's own lives. So we are not without resources and support for thinking about how we might show up effectively and communally at this time. It's just gonna look really different than large marches and actions and doing some of the public type of tactics that we've now matured in social movements for a long time. I'll just share one thing that we worked on in preparation for what happened on August 12th in identifying harm that could potentially be happening. And I wanna share this with you because it's a practical thing that you can use already beginning now and potentially as we head into a contested election in November, we use the acronym SALT. Now SALT's very precious to us, right? This want to be the SALT of the earth and if SALT loses its saltiness, what is it? It's grown outside in tripled underfoot and Syracuse actually is a city that produced a lot of salt for a long time. So it's an easy acronym to remember and I invite you to think about it when you see the SALT shaker on your table. If it's not too difficult, SALT is a four-part acronym. When you see four-part acronym and I give it to you to help right size paranoia, it is okay to be scared at this time. It's okay to be worried. It's okay to have heightened vulnerability but not everything is going to crash and crumble. You will not lose everything. It's important to think about what we are willing to give up and shifts we are willing to make in these times to help promote safety and protect one another and protect the earth. But what will actually happen may not be what we expect to happen. And so SALT is one acronym that helps to right size our fear and give us some tools to communicate with others. So SALT stands for size, activity, location and time. I'll go over these one by one. If you're seeing someone who is carrying a weapon or someone who has a paraphernalia from say a white supremacist group or someone whose actions worry or trouble you for any reason or groups of people, SALT it can be helpful. So size is related to what is the size of the group? Potentially also the size of the people but the size of the group that's doing this activity. And what is their activity actually? Are they marching around? Are they brandishing weapons? Are they yelling? Are they harassing? Are they sitting on the ground quietly? Are they on phones and using technology? So what's the activity of the group that you might see doing a disturbing activity? What's their location? This location is primarily related to them being at the corner of Green Road and US 33. Let's give an example over in Corry. Or is a location near a school? Or are they moving towards one place to another? Walking south on Green, for example, location. And time, both the time of day to try to record that as well as the duration of time that you're able to monitor the situation.  There's all these people here, what's happening? You might be able to text back to them SALT. And then that helps a person look at the various factors that might be the most salient when identifying a group. That may or may not be attempting to do harm but it also is a way to locate what's happening. And then if you're networked with other people in your community or otherwise and they send out a SALT alert and it's the same group of people at another place, you start to be able to track. And I think this is particularly important when we're dealing with armed actors. People also use this for the police which are a group of armed actors as well. But when you have multiple sets of armed actors, your nonviolent direct action needs to be multifaceted as well as agile. It needs to recognize what type of weapons you're dealing with and what type of actors. Political Research Associates has put out a wonderful resource that will tell you which paraphernalia of which white right wing groups is worn where and how and what is the discipline of that group and what are they alligent to? And these all give you points of intervention with which to be able to talk to the group and approach them potentially or not and to let others know. SALT also becomes important if you do not want to rely on the police for reasons of abolition, for reasons of desiring to not call on lethal force in order to try to leverage a situation, SALT can also help in creating those networks of care. People are really traumatized after what went down in Charlottesville and in doing some aftercare with a lot of them, we were sure to let them know that even though they felt like that their community was fragmented and it was devastating for many clergy when other clergy just said, oh, ignore it, it will go away or I'm not interested in saying, no, we'll just focus on what we want to build as an alternative. There's a lot of fractures in the community and yeah, we assured the people of Charlottesville that their investment in trying to show up in the many ways they did, both building alternatives, blocking harm and just working hard and being alignment with their deepest values has resourced us a lot to understand kind of the moment that we're coming into. As I conclude for this initial part, what some in the United, the right rally we're trying to do was to start a racial holy war. Not all in a different philosophy, but at some work. What this means and what this poses as a challenge to those who are in traditionally pacific communities who have resisted the draft and who have said we will not participate. What happens when your body drafts you? How are we to respond when there's not an opt-out option? So what we're gonna work on today and throughout time, I'm accessible and the other hosts of this seminar are accessible to continuing this movement together is how might we take our next step into solidary learning and living in these times together. Thank you. Thank you so much, Sarah, for your really powerful message for sharing with us stories of these very real and present in contemporary situations of harm, but also the way that different kinds of people are coming together and recognizing these as opportunities to bear witness. Thank you for helping us think about what it means to show up effectively and communally and to think, to provide a practical tool for doing just that through this salt, through salt. In this, what we want to do next is to move into breakout groups. What we're going to do is to organize different participants into small groups. You'll have eight minutes in your breakout session and Sarah invites you to think about this question. As a result of what I've just heard, what is my next step on my own learning journey of solidarity? You're also welcome to pose questions that emerge for you in the course of the talk generally. So in a moment, we're going to move into breakout groups, perhaps start by introducing yourself and then responding to the prompt. And I believe that the prompt will appear in the chat box in a moment. You'll have eight minutes and then we'll come back to the large group session for some Q&A. See you soon. As the questions come in, I just wanna speak to the song that we heard from Lila June Johnson, who is an artist and activist. And she is Dimee Navajo as well as Cheyenne. And it was important to me to begin with this song because even myself descended of both willing and unwilling settlers on colonized land. We are working in ways to always be accountable to those who are advocating for remade creation and helping us think about values change for survival. And we think about indigenous communities. This is not the first disease that they have faced from folks that are not from here coming upon them. And so Navajo Nation particularly has been really impacted for this one to just raise up some of their leadership who are speaking to that. And as she said, this coming, the situation is that Indians versus cowboys know is all of humanity on one side fighting to replace our fear with love and the only weapons that are helpful are weapons of truth, faith and compassion. One question I see here are some resources I would recommend in this work towards anti-violence and listening to the voices of black and brown sisters and brothers. I'm happy to say that during the breakout rooms we organized to say that we're gonna be sending you a follow-up with a number of links and resources so you can find your way in if you haven't already. There is a place for you in this work because this is the work of the body of Christ. And so everyone can bring their gifts. I would say if you can follow the through thread on the impact of the Doctrine of Discovery, which is a 1455 and onward set of paper bowls that first displaced and kidnapped indigenous Africans and then assisted in the perpetuation of genocide here in this continent and has morphed into Christian Zionism and other forms of theological racism today. There is a through line there. So anything you can find out about the Doctrine of Discovery and there's a number of people working to dismantle the Doctrine of Discovery and to see how it shows up, that that's a great place to start. And many black and brown people have been inviting folks to come work on it to address it, both repudiate and remitry. And then we'll send some more resources for sure. Yes, what training is available now online since COVID prevents some trainings in person? We will also in our resource, make sure that you have access to a few trainings as well as there are groups meeting together to prepare a guide for the various upcoming election scenarios that you may face. And then there are conversations happening in small groups and broader trainings that are possible. For the question of related to defunding the police. For me, this is a place where Meno's been talking about this for a long time. Defunding police is kind of a localized version of war tax resistance. It's a sense of we want to divest from violence and invest in everything that leads to a holistic understanding of safety, protection and love.  And so other people have been able to make the banners and the hashtags and do the work of saying, you know, this is what's up at this time, this type of the abolition movement. So in many ways, it's a great sign for folks who are saying, defund police, it's a new idea, you know?  Hey, come to our church, we've been talking about this for a while. Come help us think about how we can say it more convincingly and effectively, but our faith is founded. On this sense of, if harm be done, let it be done to me rather than you and I will not invest in that, which makes for war. And the importance of doing it collectively together. And for a long time, men is for informing groups of people that say, we will not work for peace and then pay for war, but finding ways to divert those resources and taking upon themselves together, not individually, but together the consequences of that. So those are types of collective actions that we can take. How can we bring these conversations into our communities of faith? Well, that's one thing. For example, if you wanna talk about abolition or not using the police, you can convene a conversation within the church to say how, under what situations might we be able to find alternative ways to resolve a concern of civilian safety without calling the police? Just start to ask those questions. All sorts of things will bubble up. A lot of questions of fear or vulnerability, but once those are out in the open and can be spoken, then we can talk about what really matters. And we can also, there's folks on here who've done great work on investigating the history of policing and where it comes from in terms of charting the bodies of enslaved Africans and formerly enslaved Africans, as well as the proletariat and folks in the North. And so learning the history of the police and connecting that all the way back through how the Jesus movement was policed in the early days can be a through line. As well, it's a time to go back into songs and proverbs and lamentations in these aspects of our faith to give us sustenance for this time. I would say another way to bring this into faith communities is through expanding time for grief in our services. Not holding it onto just the joys and concerns section, but seeing if there might be an opening where each week we go beyond formulating our frustration with the news or whatever in words, but we go into moaning, into shaking, into yawning, into screaming. Like we need something more in our liturgy for these times. And look to some of the churches that have maintained some of these ways of moving in the spirit that helps to cleanse and heal their souls when cognitively our brains cannot literally process all that's coming in, but only it's by being together on Zoom or in person at a distance, whatever you can still feel the energy. If we make space for other expressions, tapping, some people use tapping to really help reset their bodies, twirling, moaning, groaning, these, you know, the groves of the spirit too deep for words. This is biblical. So how can we get some groaning back in? Cause we don't have the answers, but we, you know, the spirit is interceding at this time. So finding ways in the liturgy to open up a holding of the levels of uncertainty, but the way you close that is going to be important as it's allowed to spill out, then lean into liturgical ways that say, nevertheless we commit to keep breathing, to sustain others breath, to keep in prayer, and to, you know, not give in to the paralysis of analysis, excuse the ableist analogy there, but to not come out of it with words, but through song and through ways of saying, finding just enough courage to get beyond the fear, you know, we carry the fear with us, but all we need is just a tiny bit more courage. So that's what I would say. And as church liturgies begin to change form during this time of COVID, yeah, find your grown group, find your rage group. It might be only like five people, but some people who you can really open up with so that your organism is not trying to hold everything that is happening, but it can be returned to the earth. And then from there, the regenerative power, right? God became incarnate in the stuff of the earth. So we take that stuff out of the earth to show up. That's my mini sermon for today. We'll get back to y'all's great questions. And if you come up with any grown liturgies, please, please pass it to me. Then we can, you know, circulate them around so we can draw on each other's brilliance. Cool, just a heads up, that some of the resources that are coming up, there is a mini church USA racial justice fund. Just put your money where your mouth is in this case and just, you know, share with the fund as well as MCSA is creating curriculum about police abolition, which will be available in October, right on time. That's the October surprise I'm looking for. And, you know, it's gonna give everything that we need, just keep on building it. A lot of this is improvisation. We don't know it before. Thank you. Seeing here, a number of you are saying how you're mobilizing and what you're doing and trying to be ready for how conflicts will be different at this time. I think know that we can and will survive. And although we will continue to see further deteriorations of democracy or so-called democracy, again, reach out to folks outside the US. Some people have faced further deteriorations of democracy. I mean, there hasn't been like a real federal government coalition in Belgium for like a long time. Different parties govern different parts of Kyrgyzstan. The local areas may be able to municipal, I mean, may be able to come to a new rise in power in the reinvestment in local because people say, hey, no matter what's happening on the polarized levels, we wanna stick together here and just be in those conversations and make sure that they're inclusive and thinking about the most marginalized and when people say, yeah, you know, we're all going through a hard time. Ask who's the we? Always ask who is the we is included when we say, when we say, for example, who's that we? Is it your family? Is it your neighborhood? Make sure that your we isn't an inclusive one. We had time for just a few more, just a few more questions. Now the chat is open and you can say, hey, dear friends. And you can also chat the questions or if you have any sense of your next step, no matter how small it is, go ahead and share that out cause it will encourage your siblings here. I did see one that came in as my next step is figuring out what my next step is. Yeah, so that seems like I would say a next step of some deep self-reflection. Who am I? What am I called to do? Remember, you are your ancestors gift to this moment. Yes, you are. So please show up with all you got. Someone's asking about what are the different rules of engagement with white right wing groups? And again, it depends on the salt and on that size, on the activity, the location and the time. It also depends on your particular demographics. I was speaking in our breakout room a bit. If you are someone with white skin privilege, you may be able to put yourself in a leverage point to find out information, to give some empathy, to do whatever it takes to deescalate in a particular moment. Or you may be someone who can get in and get some information that then you can pass to more vulnerable communities about what's happening. So these are currently developing in terms of what are various ways to prevent violent extremism. And also, it's the hard reality to say, although right wing groups and folks affiliated with them are responsible for some of the highest levels of violence that we see. The state responds very differently to them than it does to others expressing desires for self-determination, justice or equality. And so we're in a devastating reality of unequal and unfair ways that society is set up. That's another thing to grieve and to pay attention to. Someone's asking about assault as it relates to the internet. How do we determine the location online and what the background is? Yes, these are key questions and they are being discussed by various groups. But if you see something and want support on it, feel free to reach out to me and others and we'll try to network you in to start thinking well about this. But what we've seen now is, although a lot of this has been developing online because they have been emboldened and encouraged overall from the highest levels of offices in the US, we're starting to see it manifest in the physical plane. Although many people do experience what's called daxing where they have high levels of online threats towards them and against their story and it can make things very difficult. I would say have a plan for what you're gonna be doing. Right now we're 40 days to the election and some I know from a number of religious groups are doing prayer and fasting. This is not prayer and fasting for a particular outcome necessarily. It may be for some of them, but a recognition of this election is you have another compression and flash point of what's happening right now. So that's the opportunity that's being coordinated but I would say have a plan for what you will be doing that evening and have a plan for checking up on your friends and members of vulnerable communities especially in places that are not highly urbanized but on these fringe areas where there will be more likely to be intimidation of people going to vote and things of that nature. Probably no matter what the results are people will take to the streets and while that is totally understandable as a way of doing public grief work and stating the desire for a world that works for all, we are also interested in terms of some of the groups I'm planning with and thinking about creative things that you can do together with people inside or gathered on Zoom or if those platforms shut down or things of that nature. Other ways to do data jams for example to look across the internet to figure out what is the data for what is happening and what that does then is consolidate information so that you can be able to say coherent stats like the one that came to us from BLM's work that one black person is killed every 28 hours by the state in this country. That comes after working a lot of data so you might think about getting a bunch of people together to do some citizen research or resident research on that day to figure out what's happening or to be able to say this many congregations and our denomination are committed to being inclusive groups. You can find that data, that's one thing to do. You know, and if you got a quilt big enough you can probably get six people around a quilt at a distance to like help us like metaphorically and physically re-stitch our society together to just really try to be creative about how we can involve everyone from the youth to the elders to do something very positive and powerful on that day that prepares us for Advent, that prepares us for decolonization, that prepares us for our discipleship journeys which will become increasingly difficult but there's more and more of us on the journey together. Thank you so much, Sarah. Yeah, kicking back over to you all, thanks. Thank you so much, Sarah, for being with us and thank you so much to everyone who is in this room. This is a beautiful and powerful group together. So it is good to be together in this work and thinking and then mobilizing or to put the power of non-violence in practice and to mobilize and participate in movements for justice. So thank you, Sarah, and thank you to everyone. And we want to just say a word about what's coming up next. This is the first part of a four-part series. Next week, I will share with you very briefly a flyer with the information here. Next week, Maria Steffen, Director of the Non-Violence Action at the U.S. Institute of Peace and David Courtwright, Director of the Global Policy Initiative at the University of Notre Dame's Croc Institute will be with us for this gathering. The week after that, on October 7th, Co-Cordinator of the Poor People's Campaign, Liz Theoharis will be with us. And to cap off the series, we're going to have a nonviolent, direct action training. So in response to some of your questions and particular requests on that front, October 10th in the afternoon will have a nonviolent, direct action training led by Ashley Bohr of the Croc Institute for International Peace and her co-facilitator, Nate Cohen of Northwestern University.

I am here to serve you So feel free to pick up that phone dial on in at eight seven seven nine two seven six six four eight Now if you've got a question, but you can't dial in we've got you covered go ahead and send me an email Send that off to Steve at TFNN.com inside the subject heading Please put radio show question and of course if you're inside our Tigers down well then any in every ping we'll do So let's go ahead and get this show started on terrific Tuesday. Of course. This is Tiger Financial news network. I'm Steve Rhodes Welcome to the show a sea of green out there all the us indices that we track are trading the upside as are each of the sectors Inside the s&p 500 dows up hundred ninety nine points half a percent or nearly half percent for the s&p or 22 points 69 points for the Nasdaq 100 one and six tenths percent for the Russell That's a 32 point move semi-zero up ten trannies up 113. You've got gold up 15 bucks Silver's up 31 cents You've got lights recruit up a buck 15 natural gases off nine pennies 30 treasure printed out 124 even Steven That's up 24 ticks leading to charge dollar wise the upside You've got gin medical of 25 bucks micro strategy of 15 black rock up 13 United rentals up 13 Adobe up 10 to the downside is n-bitty off nine bucks super micro down six bucks sit Sit side time maybe side time corporation off six bucks regenerate down six North and corp down a four bucks. So we've got some movers and we've got some shakers But let's begin our day by taking a look at what's going on inside the equity future contracts We'll look at the daily and the weekly time frames momentarily. I'll change my screens We get to those white background screens up there at the top row You're gonna see the daily time frames bottom row is gonna be the weekly for the ES mini today is going to become bar number eight of a TD 9 count tomorrow if the ES mini closes above 4774 you will generate or it will generate a TD 9 count top now that TD 9 count top Pattern does not complete until Thursday Boy, the ES mini is suggesting to you and I is that maybe the high for the year is about to come in Hmm something to think about if you take a look at the weekly chart here for the NQ I'm for the ES mini. It's also in bar number eight It's also got wave number seven as a potential topping signal out there So all that goes hand-in-hand now doesn't mean that the that it so here's what I would also say if The ES minis TD 9 count top that is likely to generate But we won't know until the end of business tomorrow, but it's likely to generate If that gets negated then we probably do run higher into the end of the year Which is when the weekly chart for the ES mini would complete Complete its TD 9 count top kind of makes sense out there. I hope so it makes sense to Stevie That's all that we need to need at this moment in time if we take a look at the NQ today is going to complete bar number nine That means you've got a TD 9 count top that is going to form today inside of the NQ Now that pattern will complete tomorrow that should take price back to its oscillator and change line That's currently printed at 16 770 turns out on the weekly time frame We have bar number eight forming as well So we know that can be a top now in order for bar number nine to complete that means that next week the NQ has to close above 16 234 so some downside movement, but you know 700 800 points something like that, but nothing Substantial nothing really really significant at least that based on the new numbers that I'm taking a look at So we've got a TD 9 count top that's going to come confirm today inside the NQ So definitely something to pay attention to in the case of the Dow equity future contract is bar number eight That's completing today that says just like the ES mini that we should get a TD 9 count top by Thursday Again, that would first target the downside would be that oscillator change line the weekly time frame also bar number eight So we've got everything really sinking up here now There are also two thousand is in a world of its own and that world says that hey today's going to become bar number seven Likely but what it has already it doesn't have already what it needs is a bearish reversal candle That would confirm the uh sell the d-point pattern It's got an a to b equal cd pattern that's in play right now Just waiting for a bearish reversal candle if we got all four of those the TD 9 count tops inside the ES the NQ the Dow and the Russell 2000 were to generate a Uh a sell the d-point pattern that we very well may be looking at the highs for the year Inside of the equity futures out there. We may what else do we need in order for that to take place? Well, I'll tell you one thing that we need and that's for the semiconductor index to also generate a top So if we go over to some of its charts now, this is the socks that we're taking a look at And here I've got multiple time frames up here The one we're really focused on right now is the daily time frame and what you can see right in effect I'll expand out the daily chart the daily chart does have an a to b equal cd pattern to the upside If you take a look over that's potentially headed to and it may head there It's much higher than what we're traded right now, but here's the a to b point out there I'll just simply move this over so as I can grab it move that over to where that c point that hammer candle And here the one to one price projection will get us up into the 40. Let's call it the 4300 area But and this is a but this is a big but Um what what needs to take place either today or tomorrow in order to generate a TD 9 count top Is price has to spike above the high from december 15th and that high out there That's up in 416192 and the question is if the summaries do not form a topping pattern Is the market likely to top? That's something you should go back and take a look at your own charts and do some research on out there But we'll certainly be paying attention to the semiconductor index and what signals it generates for us Now what we'll also do if we take a look at some of the short term time frame charts You've got a TD 9 count top on the 130. You've got a roadsman dominicator top on the 65 As well as the 30 minute time frame charts out here So the short term time frame charts for the summaries are starting to show some topping signals But we really need a move above that high from december the 15th out there in order to generate some type of topping pattern If we take a look at what's going on underneath the covers or at least the top eight holdings with inside the semiconductor this is as of This is as of last night's close out here. Just want to make sure you get to the right choice Broadcom is in a number one slot out there It needs a spike above yesterday's high to get to bar number eight of a TD 9 count in the case of amd It's already done that job. It will complete a TD 9 count top today If price closes above let me give you that number That number is going to be 138 19 so you want to watch that nvidia price is backing up today Why is it backing up because yesterday's rallyer and right up into its TD 9 count breakdown resistance level 503 35 Is that a top? It can be a top getting back to your breakdown resistance level. Steve roge with tfn We get back to this break.

This is for Alton the next two are going to be for Alton His emails came in late yesterday So so in the case of Occidental petroleum on the daily time frame what we can see out there is nice td9 count bottom That formed actually completed on December 13th and formed on December the 12th What transpired here on the trading day of December 14th was a gap up Above its barestructured daily profile that is a bowler signal now that candle has volume of 17 million shares You're trading into that today with 2.5 million shares. So you got lighter volume if you actually closed over that high that high being What the heck's going on with the keyboard here And the mouse that high being 59 68 you would actually generate an a to b equal cd at the upside But we don't necessarily need that in order to understand where price is likely headed to and it's likely headed to 60 72 With price above the top of barestructured profile above its oscillator and change line likely wants a target 60 72 and 60 72 Alton is the td9 count breakdown level. We look at the weekly time frame chart It's very obvious what Occidental petroleum is doing and it's been doing this for quite some time on a weekly basis This will take us back into the march time frame and from march Through december we have been in one large huge consolidation range out there And basically the consolidation low was hit at that td9 count bottom From last week out there. What price should do here is should at least go target The top of its profile the center of its profile and its oscillator change line That's in the 60 55 60 71 price area And on a monthly time frame chart you got to consolidate within side It's both a structured profile as well What price did here this month as it got back to that ball of structured area 54 84 It's really between 50 05 and 54 84 out there So Occidental petroleum does suggest that it wants to at least go target 60 72 you get above that You could be looking at 65 14 to 69 24 So Alton I help that help Alton I hope that helps you out with regard to what Occidental petroleum charts are telling us from a technical standpoint Devon energy is another one of your requests and if Devon energy can close today and tomorrow Above the top of its profile. That's printing out at 45 40 They should continue to move higher now It's not like I have a bottom pattern out here with regard to Devon energy But on the other hand I do it looks like an a to b equal cd pattern Let's go ahead and draw that in here as best we can so we'll draw the a to b line We'll move that over to the c line Let's see if it actually made it all the way down to that price projection area And in fact it got close enough it got close if we got that bullish reversal candle on December the 13th So you've got to buy the d-point pattern. You've got a rejection of a swing point now that rejection of the swing point is the one from uh october Sixth out there now that swing point did volume of 11.5 million shares Yeah, I was tested with 13 million that wasn't a good test. It was tested with 24 million that was a good So we don't have a test of rejection on lighter volume But nonetheless the price able to close above the top of that profile That would suggest that we're likely targeting 49 35 and 49 35 is it is its td9 count breakdown level However, and here's the however you got a battle at 4607 and 4607 happens to be the bottom of that weekly profile So that's where our real battle is at uh altern so 4607 if price can clear that Then the 49 35 area looks very attractive to us. That's what I see when I take a look at devon energy Nancy wants to take a look at microsoft and Nancy has identified the exact pattern that is in place out here And that's a consolidation trading range and that consolidation trading range Nancy as you know is on the daily time frame That daily time frame has a bullish structured profile. So its support zone is between 365 16 and 366 76 that level has been tested once twice three four five Six times six times in about the last two weeks out there You think that's a very strong support level Stevie thinks it is the charts think that it is and only a close blow 365 16 Would have us entertain the idea that the Roadsman dominicator top the td9 count top that exists on the daily time frame is going to take us lower right now Those tops have just simply sent price back to support and support is held each time Yes, you are in a trading range between that Td9 count top basically that level has been tested but right now with inside his profiles Are there any trade setups setups here? I don't think so you are too close to resistance with resistance being 374 75 out there So that's what I see now. You're also trading into or it's trading into a recent swing point That was from december 13th that swing point has 30 million shares So far in about the first two hours of trading we've done four points Let's call it five million shares. You're moving into that swing point with half the volume out there I would not expect microsoft to bust through this consolidation So I'd look at trading something else nance or else if you're going to buy microsoft And take some kind of trade you want to do it at that 365 ish area out there And if you were going to sell you'd be selling i'd say at the 377 93 or that's at green awesome and changeline I don't have anything here to suggest that that's what microsoft wants to do and get up there So great spotting for you nancy that yes, you are inside that trading range You can just look at look at look at those daily profiles and use that for your targets To the upside and to the downside. Let's go on to our next request out here. This coming in from 777 I can't be double. It's got to be a 777 Jack out there and that is to take a look at ticker symbol Now for this one, I'm going to need to get my other screens up because I'm sure I've got nothing but delays here The ticker symbol is tm sny And tmsny is trading at about 89 92 actually 90 05 now that we take a look at our other screens out here And I don't recall if there was actually a question jack with regard to that I'll have to post those charts after the show Before you nancy now. I'll be absolutely be happy to do that. So right now. We take a look at this is uh, Tomino's ag sponsor So I don't know what this represents What currency I see a you know number of gaps out there I don't have a really a clue and with regard to liquidity on this basically there's zilch not a zip For example, we take a look at yesterday's trading action. There were 2158 shares that traded hands out there So if you're looking to trade something that's liquid you look elsewhere because this is not very liquid at all But with regard to what is it doing here? Look at how that is held that green oscillator and change line It has strong momentum to the upside you probably didn't in stevie jack to tell you that but that certainly is what's going on technically out here Now today is bar number seven of a td9 count pattern You could get a td9 count top that forms between tomorrow wednesday and friday of this week out there We take a look at the weekly time frame chart. You're in bar number eight of a td9 count A top can take place between this week and the uh began the first week of uh january out there And if we look at the monthly time frame chart the monthly try to take out a swing point This swing point is from the month of june of 2023. Now the volume there was um Not applicable 73 000 shares that's a monthly chart 73 000 what's called let's let's round it up then we can't round them 73.5 73 000 shares this month so far you are at 34 000 shares it is still somewhat early in the month not too early though right today's the 19th Happy birthday to my dad may he rest in peace out there And so um what's that looks to me like this wants to continue to move higher But you may get a top come the um come the end of this week out here And that would just take price back to its oscillator and change line What you can see out here jack is price needs to close below that oscillator and change line That's really pretty a 950 by the way in order for this to tell you that there's any kind of potential top that you need to be concerned with Steve Rhodes with tf&m. We'll be right back. We're gonna take a look at nvidia. We're gonna take a look at et And pr qr. Of course, I'd like to look at your request as well.

What do we know about nvidia? Beautiful td9 count bottom that formed out here. That's taken price right back to its breakout level That's at 503 35 now the swing point out here the swing point. It was from november 20 That's at swing point high that did volume of 41 million shares I believe you have 41 million shares and yesterday you moved into it with 41 million shares So it's not like you're moving in with light volume But price did find resistance where resistance was at 503 35 now price is still above It's a bare structured daily profile And it's still above its green oscillator and change line. That means conditions are neutral Now the reason why I say they're neutral is because getting back to a breakdown level can be a top Doesn't mean it's a top, but it can be a top what you're looking for is some of their kind of signal that it is Well, if today price closes below 492 22 and right now we're 491 32 and it does it with less than 56 million shares. Oh, that's not the swing. Hold on man here 491 81 if price closed below 491 81 I don't know what I gave you at first, but that's the right one 491 81 And it does less than 41 million shares We'd have a test rejection of swing point on lighter volume. But guess what? It's on 23 million shares already today. So that ain't gonna happen That says my my system here shows 17 million But my other system that's more up to date in accurate has got 24 million shares already So that's not going to be it may be rejection of the swing point low, but it won't be a A It's with with volume that would say that at least the bottom of that swing point gets tested again So overall we're going to go with the neutral signal on the daily time frame for nvidia on the weekly time frame In the case of nvidia price also running into resistance at the top of its bearish structured Weekly profile and that's up at the 505 48 levels two roads with the indicator tops up in that range We've got a td9 count top on the monthly time frame chart We get all that did was took price right back to the support area of its bowler structured profile But it's also got resisted 50266. So here's what we can say about nvidia john It's up at resistance whether it's daily. It's weekly or it's monthly out there If we're looking for some kind of a turn I guess we turn to the short term time frame charts I don't guess we would turn to the short term time frame charts and look for some kind of signals So let's get over to active date out here. And what do we have? Well? We've got a roadsman to indicator top that formed yesterday at 4 p.m You gap to the downside this morning or below profile levels out here um So what do you watch? Well, I'd watch the law I'd watch the gap down from this morning and it probably starts trading below 488 95 We're headed lower if it does with more than 8 million shares, which um Is not likely outcome there You know that need to form potentially and I'd be going with the a to b equal cd pattern But it would suggest to move back to 469 07 So you've got the first crack in the armor So just simply got to go back to the daily charts out here Really rely on those at this stage of the game and watch the profile Let's watch the support watch the profile levels Watch the oscillator and change line and that's what I've got for you john with regard to nvidia I hope that that helped you out as far as that review rich for life I like that rich for life wants to take a look at et Go home out there, but when we take a look at et it has nothing to do with going home That's energy transfer. We take a look at energy transfer. What do we see out here? Now that's a great question I'll tell you what we see on the weekly chart We see a good old-fashioned consolidation with inside profile levels So let's start there You're consolidated between 1328 at a support area and 1409 as a resistance level if you can close this week Above 1383 odds favorite move to 1409. Let's open up the daily chart Let's see if we can figure out what this is doing if there's any pattern out here And voila, there's not so what is it done here? So you've got a nice td9 count top that formed on october 20th That swing point high did volume of 9.8 million shares. You traded into it yesterday with 16 million shares That says the price should be back up there It hasn't gotten up there. The low is at 1398 the high of the day so far today is up at 1393. Let me make sure of that The high of the day is 1393 So price should get back up there and at least test that swing point now There's really no a to b equal cd pattern to the upside Although let me just check on the retracement of that c to d like give me one second here I'm going to do this off screen because I can use these dva to be equal cd tool I'm just looking to see on that c point. It was a 79 retracement I'm referring to this hammer candle What I'm looking at is this hammer candle from december 11th and comparing that with the low from november 1st So it's a it's a little bit above 0.786, but nonetheless We'll go ahead and give it the a to b equal cd pattern out there So if price can close above 1395 that's only going to get you up to 1416 1416 is going to take us up to that swing high from october 20th. That swing high is 1415 out there So this is where all your commotion is right now It's dealing with that swing point. You did move into it with some volume yesterday So if you're in this trade, I'd stay with it. Oh, you're looking to re-enter You're looking to re-enter So you're looking to re-enter out here while price is up at this resistance even though it's coming with volume I hesitate to suggest you try to jump on board now Where's a good re-entry point and that's a great question So you sold I think you recently sold and that was a good move out there Knowing that you're coming into resistance I'd have to say I go back to the daily timeframe I'd say if you get price to pull back simply because it did it two days ago Pull back and test that oscillator and change line that would be your entry if you're really looking for that But just realize on the daily and the weekly The weekly's got that consolidation the monthly chart looks pretty good, but it's also dealing with profile resistance. That's up at 1388 out there So I'd have to come back to the daily oscillator and change line So the only thing I've gotten right now that's printed out 1365 so rich for life I hope that helps you out and you have a great day Day and inside the tigers that once they could pr pr qr out there So let's get those charts fired up here and pr qr I should have this memorized by now, but I don't that is pr qr therapeutics, that's why I don't have it Memorized but we take a look at what is this doing? It looks pretty bullish to me Here's your issue not really your issue Dan, but here's the stock charts issue It's called two dollars and 29 cents. You're trading at 225 right now Why is it 229 stevo because at 229 is that weekly titty nank out breakdown resistance now You'd love to see price close above that why well price closes above that Then I don't see any other resistance out here Other than yesterday's high So yesterday's high thus far is a wave number seven top out here And only a price pokes above yesterday's high will that get extended the poke above would have to be somewhere above 2.28 So 229 would accomplish that task out there If you don't have that you have a valid top right now With on a daily time frame with price running into resistance on the weekly time frame and price dealing with resistance Potentially on the monthly time frame as well. So all of that could be suggesting a retracement Now the retracement or the pullback would be to 205 or 209 We get back from this break Dan.

We're looking at the 30-minute chart here for prqr We don't see any sign of a top a topping pattern at least that is uh to speak of So there's nothing there for me to really assist you with Here's what here's what it looks like is going on prices dealing with this huge downdraft on a weekly basis That was the week of march 31st volume on a weekly basis there was 16 million shares as an example Last week you were trading up into that area with 995 000 shares So this could be a very tough area to take out the resistance So 229 is going to be your key number out there being closed above 229 Ideally you'd like to be doing that with more than 2.3 million shares So if it's too early to say what we're going to have this week It looks like you know yesterday was about what 300 000 shares So you could be moving in with much with lighter volume You know if it stays with that volume dan you're looking at what 1.5 million shares or less than that So that's about all that I can see out here for prqr I do hope that that helps you out and as always thanks much for taking the time to put in requests The next request coming from um s&p inside the tiger's den and s&p would like to take look at uh Jabba the hut hut or pizza hut out there is uh what we're going to take a look at hut is the assemble And that's the hut eight corp out there. It ain't pizza hut. Oh well, we take a look at hut Eight corp out here. It's having a beautiful day as it takes out prior swing points out there So that's what doing on a daily time frame not setting up any kind of a to b equal c That's dvcs at this stage of the game Out here. So where is it headed to? Well, I'd have to identify the next level of resistance So let's pull this back just a tad. Where's the next level of resistance? So we have one at 1675 I'd actually put one right out here at a swing point. So on a daily basis, it would be the high of august 29th That has 13.3 million shares. You're in it already today with um 8.7 million. So that's the way you like to take on swing points. So that high out there is where it's gunning for That's at 1370 the high of the day so far has been 1369. How does that work? So it's gunning for the uh, you know, so now what he now what he do so volume wise You're taking on that swing point with volume Absolutely So even though it hasn't tested the top as long as it closes inside that swing point, which it should It should at least go tag that top will take out 1370. I don't know But if it does take out 1370 s and p then a price target would become 1675 and what we can actually see out here on a daily time frame It might be easier to do it on the weekly Yeah, I'm just going to do it. You see a sideways consolidation, right at least dbc's one So let's go ahead and draw that pattern and let me get my rectangle Bar out here and so I mean you could actually get it all the way up here And you could just well, that's not that's this week. So we're not going to here's the consolidation basically So you've been in this nice consolidation So that's what we're going to use for it And I'm just simply going to move this consolidation pattern because if you do break out of it Then you have a measured move and that measured move would take us up towards that 1820 level 1820 is the weekly TD 9 count breakdown level. So we do like what we see here volume wise You just want it to finally take out that resistance level the high of august 29th And if you do that, you'll have a successful consolidation breakout and that ought to take us towards it 1675 1820 level on a monthly time frame the next level of resistance is going to be its swing point out here from back in july And that swing point is anywhere from the range of well, I'll tell you what it is as I move that chart over That's anywhere from the range of 20 1625 up to 2275 out there So that's what I see when I take a look at java the hut if we look at a 30 minute time frame chart For hut out here. What do we have? We've got a rogment to indicator top Now price is not busted through a key level of support The first key level of support would be the oscillator and chains line price right now has found support there That's at 1301 the low of the day is 1304 If price is we also see a new profile formed yesterday below price. That is a bullish message as well So the 30 minute time frame it's got a top for sure But its overall signal is neutral it becomes less than neutral if price were to close below 1208 Why less than neutral because that would suggest to move back to 1022 We do not have that signal as we speak just yet. We're trading at 12 96 Which is below that oscillator change. I know that's not what it shows on my chart But i'm looking at my other screen out there So watch the bar here this close at 12 noon if you close below that getting back to 12 62 Would be in the cards for you. So that's what I see when I take a look at hut Hope that helps you out s n p and as always thank you for that request out there Now we don't have any other requests that are in the system. So why doesn't steve just take this Last three minutes. We've got in this segment here And just kind of go through some of the usual suspects or what is steve looking at So let's take a look at gold and the gdx. That's got to be on somebody's mind out there Now what we know about gold and the gdx right now and silver is that we've just got a good old fashion consolidation With inside its profile levels. So in the case of goldilocks, that's between 2017 90 and 20 62 90 out there If price were able to take out the high of 20 62 90 Do with more than 231 thousand contracts? You'd have a small a to b equal cd to the upside pattern in the case of silver Silver's got resistance up at the 24 79 level out there So until price gets up to that level, I really don't have much of a call in the case of the gdx The gdx has a couple of swing points that it's trading into which one's the higher one this one from a couple days ago That's got a volume of 36 million shares The prior swing point has volume of 33 million shares in the case of the gdx We're up right now with about 10 million shares a little over two hours of trading So it's moving into that swing point with similar volume not with more volume at least not yet not in steve's mathematical extrapolation here It's probably lighter volume a price is above right now The top of its daily profile the top of the daily profile gdx is 31 62 out there We're trading at 31 75 but close above 31 62 would be good But what we're really looking for here is we're really looking for a close above You know what I would really say I would really be using the better a to b equal cd pattern Is the one here that used the swing point of december 1st So if price can close above 31 91 out there We'll have an a to b and do it with more than 33 million shares We'll have a confirmed a to b equal cd to the upside Until that takes place. We just have kind of a consolidation pattern that is setting up right now inside the gdx And that match what we see we take a look at silver and uh gold out here So that's what I see we take a look at those charts. Let me close those down where we go to next What else is db looking at? Well, I'm also looking at the equal weighted etf. Remember where we began the show We were taking a look at the equity future contracts We're looking at the td nine count patterns if we take a look at here The top panel are the equal weighted etfs for the bottom panel. So for example, the upper left is q q q e w The equal weighted etf for the q's bottom panel is the q's themselves the q's are going to form bar number nine today The q q e w needs a spike above 1703 q q e w want to make sure that that has or has not happened 1703 today's high is 1712 Perfect So what we've got out here is we have bar number eight of a td nine count So the even we want without the reason why I want to look at the equal weight is because if we equal weight It's not confirming what we see in the weighted version The equal weight is usually the one that is the winner out there the winner winner chicken dinner But we're likely going to get a td nine now the q q e w in order to form that td nine count top tomorrow You need to see a close above 1703 no 116 30 116 30 would be where price needs to close above tomorrow Steve roge with tfnn will be right back You might think that if you want to be successful at trading in the stock market You're going to need a crystal ball after all it's impossible to predict the future right like any endeavor in life Before you decide it's impossible get some advice from the experts You might find that it's not so impossible after all for daily market overviews that give you direction on the key indices Selective stocks and commodities Subscribe to the opening call newsletter at tfnn.com The opening call newsletter is written by basal chapman Creator of the trading methodology known as the chapman wave The chapman wave up down sequence gives you an edge in identifying price turns finding the peaks and valleys in stock prices Get the opening call newsletter by basal chapman in your inbox every day First time subscribers also get a 30 day money back guarantee if you're not satisfied Let us know and you'll get a full refund within 30 days of signing up tfnn.com educating investors Everything in the universe is governed by the fibonacci sequence This mathematical principle is responsible for everything from the most aesthetically pleasing artwork to patterns in the stock market To stay on top of stock patterns You can take advantage of sign up for the fibonacci 24 7 newsletter at tfnn.com When you subscribe you'll get a weekly report from veteran day trader larry pesavento On stocks you need to pay attention to and you can trust larry's analysis After all he's got 45 years experience as a day trader larry will also provide daily charts videos And data on the key markets that he's tracking expect notifications from larry on market movement You need to act on at any time first time subscribers also get a 30 day money back guarantee If you're not satisfied let us know and you'll get a full refund within 30 days of signing up Subscribe to the fibonacci 24 7 newsletter today tfnn.com educating investors Tigers tis the season for leveling up your trading skills Basil Chapman is happy to offer all opening call subscribers a free subscriber webinar wednesday december 20th 4 p.m. To 5 30 p.m. Eastern basil Chapman will be discussing major sectors and stocks that are coming off their lows in order to Prepare your portfolio for 2024.

We're taking a look at the equated ETFs for the s and p the nasdaq 100 and the dow We're looking at the weighted ETFs for those same three So the issue here is really the rsp the equal weighted ETF for the s and p 500 There is no topping pattern that is in place out here and price needs to spike above the high from december 14th And that high out there is at 158 25 if price can so actually Price needs to close the day above 157 53 And then also needs to spike above doesn't have to do this today, but what it does have to do today No, no, no, no today's bar number seven. I take that back today's close must be above 155 41 So it looks like it'll do that That'll be bar number seven or a day behind The actual spy what then has to happen is price has got to spike above that would be between Tomorrow and friday price must spike above the 158 25 to possibly set up that td 9 count top for it The dow is going to do that e do w that's the equate for the dow. It's negated its wave number seven Top out here, but you're going to see you got bar number eight that's forming today It should confirm that pattern tomorrow the same thing inside the dow diamonds out there So that's what I see when we take a look at it What I see just to summarize as I see the potential for a top in place out there Keep your eye the semiconductor index see if that forms atd 9 count top And let's keep an eye on the rsp the equal weighted ETF for the s and p 500 as well Folks, thanks so much for joining me on terrific tuesday. Please have one yourself and I'll look forward to seeing you on wonderful wednesday Thanks again. Be safe out there
