Dow Lags S&P on Stock Market Turnaround Tuesday
Stock-Markets / US Stock Markets Feb 25, 2009 - 04:30 AM GMT
Turnaround Tuesday indeed! In all seriousness, if you have followed the market over the last few months, big percentage gains such as we saw today have become the norm. Remember that most huge, rip-your-face-off rallies do in fact occur in bear markets. So the bottom line is, don’t get too excited.
p>
Right now, the DJIA is still the laggard. It had a price increase of only 3.32%. Worse yet, it is still stuck below the November low. The DJIA needs to get above resistance at 7550. Considering today’s price action, it could happen as early as Wednesday. If it fails to break 7550, expect more pain.
The S&P 500’s movement today was more promising. The index got back above the November low. There is resistance right above at 780. The 800 area will be an even tougher test for the S&P 500.
