Video Review of the Indexes 8-23-2009
August 23, 2009 at 1:38 pm
Following a rest phase after the big run from the July lows, the indexes threatened last week to break down, only to reverse higher and breakout instead.
As the bears got trapped, they were forced to cover shorts while the bulls seized another opportunity to push the major averages to their best levels on the year.
But just as the bears saw a false breakdown last week, this week all eyes will be on the bulls to see whether they’ll be able to produce the necessary upside follow through to avoid a similar trap.
Let’s examine some important levels in the indexes to keep an eye on in the days ahead, as that will have the greatest influence on how individual stocks are going to move.

Video Review of the Indexes 8-9-2009

The upside momentum off the July lows continued last week as the indexes surged higher once again. Strength on Monday and Friday made the difference, taking the market to its best levels of the year.
We’ve seen very little rest in recent weeks, and certainly no pullbacks lasting longer than just a few hours. With the bulls having clearly established their dominance, will they finally move to book some profits this week or instead will they continue to frustrate the bears?

Video Review of the Indexes 8-2-2009

We’ve seen some nice moves in the past few weeks, with many stocks awakening from their slumber to sprint to higher levels. The indexes have done the same thing over the same stretch.
Although we’ve seen some incremental gains in recent days, overall the pace has definitely slowed. And that’s actually a good thing.
Rest is needed after a huge surge higher. Traders re-evaluate their positions, those with cash wonder if they might be chasing, and the shorts get concerned that perhaps a pullback won’t arrive in the timeframe they desire. So things get quieter, and some consolidation is seen. That’s exactly where we are right now.
But following this rest phase, momentum may well return, and we’ll need to have some clues to watch for in case that starts to happen. So, let’s examine some important levels in the indexes to keep an eye on in the days ahead.

Video Review of the Indexes 7-26-2009
July 26, 2009 at 4:43 pm
Moving out of a multi-month trading range has been a very welcomed sight for many traders in the past week. It has meant an expansion in volatility, greater momentum than we’ve seen in a while, and new recovery highs for the market from the March low.
However, the way in which it has happened obviously caught quite a few people off guard. The emotions have combined for a panic buying atmosphere, ripping bears in the process while sparking fears among bulls with cash that prices may never again retreat.
That’s not a logical view of course, but anytime there’s a big move taking place it’s common to see emotions behind the action.
Nonetheless, the indexes are getting back on the move. And although a rest or pullback from here would be welcomed and healthy, we’re still waiting on it to arrive. While we wait, it’s a great time to examine some important levels for the indexes to keep an eye on in the days ahead.

Rip City – When Will We Rest?
July 23, 2009 at 12:44 pm
Shorts are getting torched right now. The extreme momentum we’re seeing is definitely of the emotional variety, although it’s been technically significant as well.
Today, for example, the NAZ is going for its 12th straight advance – an impressive feat which has brought about a 14% move from the low set earlier this month.
We’re very stretched right now to the upside in the short term, and yet there could still be more.
So the biggest question on everyone’s mind right now – both bulls and bears alike – is “when will we rest?”
The notion of a pullback after a move of this magnitude isn’t crazy. It’s logical to expect at least some profit-taking after such a huge surge. But we’re still looking for one.
And given that the technicals are taking a back seat to emotions right now, it makes it tougher to determine when a dip might develop into something a little more than just a 15-minute slide.
Fortunately, there’s one situation in play right now that could offer a sell signal for a quick trade.
Just a little while ago over on the trading videos site, I posted the following video. In it, I discuss this topic and offer a rare clue to watch for when it comes to expecting a little deeper pullback than just a few points.

Just remember to wait until this pattern confirms, because until that happens there’s still upside momentum that deserves the utmost respect.

Video Review of the Indexes 7-19-2009

What a move last week, huh? A 7% spike across the board in the indexes is certainly one way to get the attention of traders.
Especially those caught short after the creation of lower highs and lower lows in recent weeks.
We’ve got a new week fast approaching, and anything goes. That means it could be a dull, quiet week with no momentum. Or it could be another rip-roaring surge to new multi-month highs. Or something else.
That’s a big part of why I’m a trader – there’ll be opportunity to profit no matter what happens. As long as you show up!
