Greece May Trigger Bearish Stock Pattern

Over the weekend, there was little in the way of good news coming from Greece. According to Bloomberg:

Greece's biggest anti-bailout party, Syriza, said for the second time in as many days that it won't join a unity government, pushing the country closer to new elections that have sparked concerns about a euro-area exit.

Nine-MSN, in a story dated May 14, also gives little encouragement relative to progress in Greece:

Emergency Greek cabinet talks have yielded no clear progress, raising the prospect of new elections that could scupper reforms and drive the country out of the eurozone. If a cabinet cannot be formed by Thursday, when parliament convenes, new elections will have to be called in June.

The S&P 500 finished last week firmly in neutral territory and near support. Unless a breakthrough comes in the Greek political stalemate or central bankers step in, the S&P 500 may break below the neckline of a potentially bearish head-and-shoulders chart pattern (see below).

Should the pattern come into play, the video below describes how the possible downside targets of 1,306 and 1,280 were derived. The video also provides updates on the CCM Market Models, DeMark targets, and valuations of blue-chip dividend-paying stocks.

If the S&P 500 futures make a clean break below 1,350 and the CCM Risk Model retreats below 50, we may take another incremental step away from risk. The bulls could get a jump start if a new Greek cabinet can be formed sometime before Thursday.
