Media Ignores China Stock Market's Precipitous 40% Drop!

Stock-Markets / Chinese Stock Market Mar 25, 2008 - 12:38 PM GMT

Best Financial Markets Analysis ArticleI received an email from someone watching CNBC's Cramer last night.  He said that Cramer was bullish about yesterday's market movement because the financials were leading yesterday's up move. 

I won't say that the banking sector is devoid of strength ... because yesterday, 69% of the sector's stocks had a Relative Strength reading of 50 or higher.  31% had a Relative Strength reading below 50.


However ... on a trending basis, the Banking index is still in a technical down trend for two reasons.
(Remember the old adage ... "The trend is your friend"?)

First, the index closed below its (red dotted) resistance line again yesterday ... a formidable resistance going back to last October.  It did move up to test the resistance during the day, but retreated and pulled back.  (See today's chart below.)

Second, the down trend is still in play because the Banking Index has continued to make lower/highs and lower/lows.  This has not changed yet.  We are getting some consolidation, but that needs to work itself out and shift to an upside condition.  The point is that there is still more work to be done on the financials before we can say that an up rally is in play ... and that it is one that is sustainable for awhile.

Choosing yesterday as the beginning of a longer term rally is premature and bottom fishing right now.  Be patient, and let the markets "show you the proof" before trying to be a "good guesser" ahead of everyone else. 

China's Shanghai Composite:

The Shanghai Composite was up 0.09% last night.  The next Major support levels are in between 3358.93 and 3400. 

Its amazing how the media has just plain ignored China's precipitous drop ... a drop of 40.7% since its high of only 5 months ago.  Past Chinese drops have un-nerved global markets with sympathetic down moves.  Are we so focused on what is happening to our markets that everyone is ignoring the precipitous drop in China?  If it drops below 3358.93, the media will suddenly sit-up and take notice.
