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.
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.

Video Review of the Indexes 11-8-2009

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.

Video Review of the Indexes 10-25-2009

The bulls produced new recovery highs last week (again), but as the week wound down, it appeared as though some fatigue may be setting in. Not only did we see bearish engulfing bars on Wednesday and no new highs after that, but we are also seeing some rest set in with the establishment of short-term trading ranges. Prices are currently sitting just above some key levels, so if we see those get broken, it could bring some profit-taking into the picture.

Bearish Engulfing Bars Warrant Caution
October 21, 2009 at 9:35 pm
Following gains of more than 7% in just a dozen days, today we saw the market averages tag new recovery highs and then reverse sharply to finish in the red. The bearish engulfing bars which resulted on the daily charts aren’t pretty, especially given the elevated volume which accompanied them.
It hints that this market is finally showing us a little fatigue, and that perhaps more than a few buyers morphed into sellers – at least for today.
If we did see a pullback begin to develop here, it wouldn’t at all be an unhealthy thing. Several dips have occurred since the March lows were set, with each of them being bought. Now, at some point that is going to change – it’s imperative to understand that – but we don’t yet have enough technical evidence to jump to conclusions at this point for anything but the next few days. And on that note, caution is warranted after today’s action.
Just a little while ago over on the trading videos site, I posted the following video. In it, I discuss what took place today, and offer up a few levels on the downside we could see tested if Wednesday’s selling pressure sees follow through.

Video Review of the Indexes 10-18-2009

The bulls were back at it again last week as they produced new recovery highs in each of the major averages. The net gains weren’t overly impressive, but the mere fact that the market keeps climbing certainly is.
Many stocks have become short-term extended and in need of rest. Consolidation has been a rare condition for this market since the March lows were put in, but that’s the nature of a rally when the prevailing mindset is that of not wanting to miss out.

Video Review of the Indexes 10-12-2009

In the last 2 weeks, we’ve seen the market go 2 different directions – and yet nowhere at all.
Two weeks ago, a solid breakdown appeared to be underway as short-term support zones were undercut and volume increased as the selling pressure intensified. However, since then we’ve seen a quick recovery right back up, making it a round-trip effort as the indexes returned to former resistance areas. That’s of course where the fun will begin this week, making for some pretty interesting conditions.
