Video Review of the Indexes 1-3-2010

January 3, 2010 at 3:40 pm

Despite a very minor hiccup to end 2009, the bulls made a great showing when it was all said and done.  The early action was extremely ugly, but the March-December rally made the ultimate difference and solid gains were posted across the board.

And the run may not be done yet.  After all, uptrends are still intact for each of the major averages, and that certainly deserves our respect.  But, it is indeed a new year, and there are no rules which the market must follow.  That said, we as traders must be prepared for anything to come along, whether that means a continued melt-up, a steep correction, or anything in between.

As we head into a brand new week of trading, let’s examine some important levels in the indexes to keep an eye on in the days ahead. That will have the greatest influence on how individual stocks are going to move, so it’s where the trading week begins.

This clip was also posted over on the Trading Videos site (as always), and perhaps you’ve seen it there – but in case you didn’t, I wanted to put it here on the blog for you.

Let me highly suggest clicking the “HD” on the video player and then going full-screen for best quality.

Thanks for stopping by and I’ll see you here soon with more.

Until then… Trade Like a Bandit!

The bulls remain in the driver’s seat as we close in on the end of the year, but do they plan to finish strong?  An opportunity certainly awaits them if they can produce a breakout, but with light volume and a holiday-shortened trading week, expectations may be low.

Video Review of the Indexes 12-13-2009

December 13, 2009 at 3:08 pm

This market is at home on the range, and just one glance of the daily charts over the past several weeks makes it clear that the standoff between buyers and sellers is still in effect. The bulls have maintained control for 9 months and counting, yet with a wonderful opportunity to produce a breakout and stretch their legs a bit, they’re hesitating.  Why?

Who knows.  The fact of the matter is that as traders, you and I must recognize such things as a trading range, and adjust as needed in order to survive.  For me, that has meant keeping tighter stops and staying selective until better momentum surfaces.  Eventually, this too shall pass, so hang in there!

Video Review of the Indexes 12-6-2009

December 4, 2009 at 10:22 pm

The major averages each pushed north of new highs last week, but only temporarily.  Intraday milestones simply don’t carry the same weight as those which occur on a closing basis, and last week proved to be no different as resistance was cleared, only to be given right back by the end of the session on Wednesday, Thursday and Friday.  Will this next week prove to be any different, or will the trading ranges persist yet again?

Video Review of the Indexes 11-22-2009

November 22, 2009 at 3:50 pm

A push to new highs just happened once again, and the bulls remain in control of the tape despite the weak finish which erased the gains from earlier in the week.  Higher highs in place means the uptrends are still intact, and that certainly deserves our respect.

Speaking of respect, this week we’re very likely to see some extremely light volume as the Thanksgiving holiday rolls around.  With the market closed on Thursday and open for a 1/2 day on Friday, the end of the week could be extra quiet.  Before then though, it’s wise that we remember the light activity we’ll probably see, and trade smaller as a result.  Throwing caution to the wind and pressing forward as if it’s a typical week isn’t the way to go, so respect the lack of participation out there and make adjustments accordingly.

Video Review of the Indexes 11-8-2009

November 8, 2009 at 2:39 pm

After a pretty decent pullback from the October highs, the dip-buyers were faced with another opportunity, and last week they began to do their thing once again.  An upside reversal on Monday paved the way for higher prices to come, and by the end of the week a respectable bounce was here.

There are some mixed signals on a technical basis which are still worth noting here, and that should keep the trading environment an interesting one for the foreseeable future.  We have volatility starting to expand, stocks trending in different directions, and earnings season starting to wind down.

Video Review of the Indexes 11-1-2009

The major averages sold off hard last week as profit-taking dominated the action.  The lone advance happened on Thursday, but Friday’s selling pressure alone had no trouble erasing it.

The NAZ is now facing a very critical level, and the overall character of this market is quickly changing.  Volatility is expanding, and suddenly traders are remembering that the market can indeed move both directions.
