Stock Market Reverses Early Strong Rally to Close Lower / Stock-Markets / Stock Index Trading
By: Harry_Boxer
The indices had an extremely strong start and a very promising morning. They ran up sharply, broke out across short-term resistance, and soared to test last week's highs on the Nasdaq 100 up near 1245, and reached just over 850 on the S&P 500. They pulled back over the next few hours in an orderly fashion, but when they couldn't break to the upside, they accelerated to the downside. In the last couple hours they backed and filled in a consolidative manner, but it looked like late bear flags were forming.Read full article... Read full article...

Stock, Commodities, Futures and Forex Markets Analysis 4th February 2009 / Stock-Markets / Futures Trading
By: INO
The March NASDAQ 100 was steady to lower overnight as it consolidates some of this week's rally. Stochastics and the RSI are neutral to bullish signaling that sideways to higher prices are possible near-term. Tuesday's close above the 20-day moving average crossing at 1195.53 confirms that a short-term low has been posted. If March extends this week's rally, the reaction high crossing at 1244.75 is the next upside target. Read full article... Read full article...

Stock Market Indices Drag Themselves Higher / Stock-Markets / Financial Markets 2009
By: PaddyPowerTrader
Merck's stellar earnings and a rally in health care stocks outweighed weak auto sales and more gloom from tech sector. Politicans also for once gave the market a leg up with a positive reaction to a GOP counter proposal in the Senate. In a nutshell it's a $445 billion package that would slash the current 35% corporate tax rate to 25% and offer home buyers a tax credit worth $15,000 or 10 percent of the purchase price, whichever is less. The Dow Jones ended up retaking the 8,000 level yesterday, gaining 142 points to 8078. Read full article... Read full article...

Stocks Bear Market Rally or New Bull Market? / Stock-Markets / Investing 2009
By: Money_and_Markets
Nilus Mattive writes: The S&P 500 lost 8.57% last month, which was the worst January on record. Even worse, a January loss for the index has typically meant a full-year loss for the market about 75% of the time.
The big question right now is whether we will see another fall to the lows made back in November. And the bigger question is whether we will go even lower than that.

Critical Week for the Stock Market / Stock-Markets / Stock Index Trading
By: Marty_Chenard
It was on October 24th., that the VIX (Volatility Index) had hit its high. The VIX moves opposite to the market, so a high on the VIX should normally correspond with a low on the S&P 500.
But ... that wasn't the case. It wasn't until almost a month later that the S&P 500 finally hit its low. (The S&P low was on November 21st. ... at 11:30 AM on a 60 minute chart.)

The March NASDAQ 100 was steady to slightly higher overnight as it extended Monday's rally. Stochastics and the RSI are turning bearish signaling that sideways to lower prices are possible near-term. If March extends last Friday's decline, January's low crossing at 1132.00 is the next downside target. Closes above the 20-day moving average crossing at 1197.81 would confirm that a short-term low has been posted. Read full article... Read full article...

Stock Market Promising Bottoming Formations Develop in Mixed Session / Stock-Markets / US Stock Markets
By: Harry_Boxer
The indices today ended mixed with strength in the Nasdaq. The day started out with a gap down, and quickly reached the lows for the day within a few minutes. They backed and filled and then had a very sharp move after the better than expected ISM data report came out around 10 o'clock. They then got a mid-morning back-off, and then another rally that took them to new highs at key overhead resistance just under 1200 NDX and 830 S&P 500. A sharp pullback took out the earlier pullback lows but held the earlier gap lows intraday, and then the indices had a strong late surge that slightly took out overhead resistance but failed to follow through, and then they backed off into the close.Read full article...

By: Q1_Publishing
“I think it was Ben Graham who said, ‘This, too, shall pass.' I think the same applies now…this, too, shall pass.”
That's what David Dreman told me last Friday. We talked about an hour after the markets closed. At the time, a Reuters headline proclaimed, “Worst January Ever for Dow, S&P 500.” The Dow sat at 8,000.

Stock Markets Register Worst January Performance in History / Stock-Markets / Stocks Bear Market
By: Paul_J_Nolte
We've seen this movie before and unfortunately it doesn't end well. With the decline of over 8% for the month of January, the SP500 has cemented the worst January in the history of the index. Nothing like piling on! Economically speaking, the markets took their cue from the very poor reports. Although the GDP figure was better than expected, once the details were pulled apart, there really was nothing to get excited about going into the first quarter. Housing figures also indicated that there is no improvement in housing. Read full article... Read full article...

Dangerous Time to Stay Invested in the Stock Market / Stock-Markets / Stocks Bear Market
By: Captain_Hook
The terrible price action in the stock market raises the question, ‘are we on the right track expecting seasonals and the multiple post-crash historical patterns that have proven reliable in forecasting higher prices moving forward from here to repeat; or, is the market condition so far advanced that these things are known by the investing population, potentially altering the outcome?' This, in essence, is the question of the hour all good speculators are asking themselves right now. Read full article... Read full article...
