Warnings Unheeded: In Greece, You Can’t Get Your Money – But That’s Insignificant – China’s Going Down

That market had been in a parabolic blow-off since roughly December, a classic (to a chartist) three-stage parabolic move with two retracements.  The most-recent move down, however, threatens to violate the uptrend support originated back in November and has already erased the gains since May.
