By: PaddyPowerTrader
US stocks advanced Friday, extending the Dow’s longest weekly winning streak in six years.

Energy companies rallied as the EUR/USD strengthened for the first time in seven days.

No End In Sight For Stocks Bull Market / Stock-Markets / Stocks Bull Market
By: Michael_Swanson
Before getting to the daily trends and what is likely now to unfold over the next few weeks I think it is important to point out to you that the longer term trend (one year plus+) for the stock market is strengthening. In fact there is no end in sight for this bull market.

Stocks Led by Apple On a Hot Bull Run No Investor Should Miss / Stock-Markets / Stock Markets 2010
By: Money_Morning
Jon D. Markman writes: Stocks flipped out late Friday morning following an announcement of Greece's decision to seek help from the European Union and International Monetary Fund. But by the end of the session, cooler heads began to prevail and the major indexes ended well into the black, continuing the bull run.
The Dow Jones Industrial Average, Standard & Poor's 500 and Nasdaq all closed about 1.1% lower for the session, but the week's results were a lot better: flat for the Dow and S&P 500, up 0.75% for the S&P Midcap 400 and up 1.7% for the S&P Smallcap 600.

Why Does This Stock Market Rally Give Me the Creeps? / Stock-Markets / Stock Markets 2010
By: PhilStockWorld
I’m sorry, I am trying so hard to get bullish but it’s not working…
My only solution is to, as we often joke, switch of my brain and stop reading the news (listening to it is great as everything is coming up roses in TV-land) and ignore the now-exposed shenanigans on Wall Street (why should I worry about my investments just because the people running the game are up on fraud charges) and for goodness sakes don’t even look at something as depressing as "The Economic Elite vs. the People of the United States of America," neither Parts 1-3 or Parts 4-6 because that can lead to thinking and thinking makes it REALLY hard to go to sleep at night with your money riding on the top of an 80% market while gold is trading at $1,150 an ounce because of overwhelming global instability and a total lack of faith in the global financial markets.

SPX Stock Market Index Targets 1230 Trend Reversal Level / Stock-Markets / Stock Markets 2010
By: Andre_Gratian
Current Position of the Market
Very Long-term trend - Down! The very-long-term cycles are down and if they make their lows when
expected, the bear market which started in October 2007 should continue until 2014.
SPX: Long-term trend - Up! We are in a medium-term bull market, which is a corrective move within a long term bear
market. This bull market should last until 2011

MortiES Stock Market Analysis, SPX Chop Time / Stock-Markets / Stock Markets 2010
By: Dr_John_Trapp
This is the article and chart my premium subscribers received this weekend: The market appears to be in a period of consolidation. I called it a triangle and a Wave 4 in my last posts. The only difference in my call for this weekend is that I am calling it a “running” triangle” and W4. You can see an illustration of the running triangle on p. 50 of EWP.

Nasdaq Tek Stock NDX at 2050! / Stock-Markets / Stock Markets 2010
By: Piazzi
I have to go many posts back to find the first time I mentioned 2050 area as a resistance, and the 1970-2050 range as an active range.
And it seems like just yesterday when I said that the move out of Feb low looked more and more like the move out of July low and might destroy the bears and leave many bulls behind waiting for a pullback.

Indian Stock market Detailed Technical Analysis with Chart Studies / Stock-Markets / India
By: StocksBuddy
Previous Week:
Last Week Nifty showed good strength as it held on it's own. When looking at stocks or indices everyone looks at the same chart but with different conclusions and perspectives. Everyone believes that the support/resistance levels would be different. But what eventually works out is anybody's guess.
As you can see from Daily chart of nifty below, Nifty nicely tagged the Lower Bollinger Band and found solid support there.

Leading Stocks Go Vertical In Go-Go Market / Stock-Markets / Stock Markets 2010
By: David_Grandey
For the last month or so the markets have been overbought technical indicator after technical indicator wise, yet they have refused to give up the ghost so to speak. We've also been talking about what to do with a pullback and how to buy the leaders in an extended market. That still holds true today. We would love to buy some of the go-go stocks on pullbacks to support and/or the 50-day average however as we've said time and time again in this space the market is the boss.

Stock Market Investor Sentiment Mockery / Stock-Markets / Stock Markets 2010
By: Guy_Lerner
The market continues higher, which you are well aware. The sentiment indicators continue to show extreme bullish sentiment amongst the "dumb money", an indifference by the "smart money", and selling by insiders. These are bear signals. In a sense, the market continues to make a mockery of the sentiment indicators. But let's face it, all indicators - whether fundamental or technical - are broken.

Another Bubble in Stocks and Housing? / Stock-Markets / Financial Markets 2010
By: Anthony_Cherniawski

This decrease followed three consecutive monthly increases, including a 1.1 percent February increase. Excluding transportation, new orders increased 2.8 percent. Excluding defense, new orders decreased 1.2 percent.”

Stock Market Late Day Rally Again... / Stock-Markets / Stock Markets 2010
By: Jack_Steiman
This is common in bull markets, especially when the market won't sell off when everyone is expecting it to. We are overbought. We do have some negative divergences on the daily chart and we do have eroding sentiment figures. This equates to pullback. However, when a market can't sell when it supposedly should, the bears start to cover and the bull get braver and thus later day action becomes one in which markets move upward. Sort of the give up affect. It's a bull market. It won't sell on a given day thus the masses move towards the direction of the trend and simply buy equities. Today we had weaker futures to deal with due to poor earnings from Microsoft Corporation (MSFT) and Amazon.com (AMZN).

Gold, HUI and Stocks On the Brink of an Asset Explosion II / Stock-Markets / Financial Markets 2010
By: Toby_Connor
Let me start off by saying the market should be correcting. Sentiment has reached ridiculous bullish extremes, the kind of extremes that led to the January /February correction. That correction separated the second leg of the bull from the third. But let’s face it, sentiment has been in this condition for several weeks now and the best we could muster was a minor correction of 30 points on the news the SEC was filing charges against Goldman Sachs for fraud.

Goldman who? Fuhgeddaboudit! / Stock-Markets / Financial Markets 2010
By: PhilStockWorld
Greece what? Oh we fixed that thing last week! Yeah, the Germans (who are $4.5Tn in debt), the French (who are $4.4Tn in debt), the English ($9.2Tn) and, of course, the Italians ($4Tn in debt) are gonna give the Greeks a little something to keep the lights on until Christmas. Hey the world’s supposed to end in 2012 anyway so it’s not like we gotta keep worrying about this stuff, capiche? See Merkel tells me she knows a guy who knows a guy who’s got the green to keep this whole scam going until then and, after that--who cares? It’s gonna be somebody else’s problem…

Stocks Secular Bear Market Rally, Trees Meet the Forest / Stock-Markets / Stocks Bear Market
By: Adam_Brochert
Many people like to look at Japan as instructive relative to the current situation facing the United States (and most of Europe). The current strong up move in stocks has been relentless. It has been no fun and of no use lately to eruditely point out how bad the underlying economy is and how bad the housing market and banking system is. There is little point of understanding the economy as an investor if you cannot make money using the information. Being a general stock market bear has been an incorrect and painful position since the March 2009 lows in many global stock markets.
