The market continues trading sideways with low volume.  The market is still in a corrective phase until proven otherwise.
A break above 1018 may occur but I would expect prices to turn lower shortly thereafter.  The corrective pattern that is unfolding is still not certain, but a triangle or a flat are likely suspects for reasons discussed in previous posts.
Dan posted an alternative triangle count earlier but I do not believe this pattern is unfolding because it is not very satisfying.  Consider the momentum on 7/30/09, it does not present itself as a 5th wave should, it works better as a 3rd wave.  Following that is a very small 'a' wave then a huge 'b' wave with the resulting triangle correcting very little of the previous wave.  For these reasons, I believe wave B is still underway.
