8/12 Morningline

• Stumbling amid the ruins.
• S&P 500, Nasdaq 100, crude oil: The macd crosses the zero-line to bear phase (SPY, QQQQ, USO).
• Treasury long bonds: Parabolic sar follows other signals into bull phase (TLT).
• Dollar/Yen: Fast stochastic gives bull signal, crossing 20-line into neutrality (USD/JPY).

Mostly, the less responsive signalers are catching up to yesterday's sharp moves. The Dollar/Yen bull signal is new and significant. However, the fast stochastic is notoriously fickle (read "volatile").
