Dow Jones Monthly Stock Chart Points to 4500 Crash / Stock-Markets / Stocks Bear Market
By: Mike_Paulenoff
Not much commentary is needed when viewing the monthly chart of the Dow. We only need an active imagination. All I will say here is that I have projections from this monthly chart to 6800-6500 and then to 4500. Since this is a monthly chart, however, we need to realize that the timeframe for such a move, and the volatility that could emerge between 8500 and 7500, add some definite challenges to capitalizing from such a move in trading the Dow Diamonds Trust (NYSE: DIA) or the ultra long or short Dow ETF instruments.Read full article...

Stocks Bull Market Killers / Stock-Markets / Stocks Bear Market
By: Money_and_Markets
Sean Brodrick writes: I'm very bullish on gold and silver. And at the same time, my target on the S&P 500 is 600 — a 24% drop from recent levels and 62% down from its October 2007 peak.
As far as the economy goes, I'm not looking for it to bottom before 2012 … if we're lucky. While the market could bottom before that, I'm not seeing the light at the end of the tunnel.

Stock Market Plunge as Bad as It Gets / Stock-Markets / Stocks Bear Market
By: Harry_Boxer
The indices suffered a very negative session to start the week. The indices gapped down below short-term support, and experienced a narrow but volatile session, particularly late in the afternoon. Net-net it closed at the lows for the day going away on the S&P 500 and very close to it on the Dow. Only the Nasdaq 100 managed to close above the lows, but still suffered a very steep loss.Read full article... Read full article...

Financial Markets Analysis: Stocks Bear Market and Government Intervention / Stock-Markets / Stocks Bear Market
By: Nadeem_Walayat
The weeks stock market trend was in one word WEAK, the preceding weeks strong close FAILED to have any follow through, the stock market FAILED to break above 8,400 let alone make it to resistance at 8,600, stocks turned lower to target the lower end of the trading range of between 8,400 and 7,800, including a BEARISH break below support, which triggered the Plunge Protection Team (PPT) into action to support the stock market and bring the selling to a halt, for the time being at least.

U.S. Stock Markets Give Major Sell Signal / Stock-Markets / Stocks Bear Market
By: Brian_Bloom
Two things happened today that bear thinking about:
1. The US Stock market gave a sell signal which, in my view, was not a run-of-the-mill signal. There are too many people who are “hoping” for a bounce from these levels to give me the comfort that it will bounce.

Nasdaq Q's Bear Market Countertrend Rally Ending? / Stock-Markets / Stocks Bear Market
By: Mike_Paulenoff
The pattern developing in the PowerShares QQQ Trust (NASDAQ: QQQQ) since the 11/21 low at 25.05 is a mess, which in and of itself indicates to me that it represents a countertrend rally within an as of yet incomplete larger downmove that should revisit and test the November low in the upcoming days/weeks. If such a scenario proves correct, then the 2/10 recovery high at 31.69 ended the entire countertrend recovery, and the subsequent decline into today's low at 29.64 represents the initial decline of a new downleg.

The Silver Bullet Band -
Groping in the dark for the golden gun with silver bullets, should they get their hands on it- the Fed, Treasury, and the political bodies at large, may soon discover they have been on their knee's pleading to engage in a willfully ignorant round of Russian roulette with a fully loaded revolver.

Bearish Stock Market Base Building / Stock-Markets / Stocks Bear Market
By: Chris_Ciovacco
Investing in the financial markets requires the assessment of probabilities for both positive and negative outcomes. You should approach the market with neither a bullish nor a bearish bias. The S&P 500 has been holding up relatively well since the November 20, 2008 low. A sideways pattern in the markets is often referred to as a base. Wall Street, as a whole, is predisposed to view the markets with a significant bullish bias. Consequently, the S&P 500's recent basing pattern has been met with almost a universally positive reaction.Read full article... Read full article...

Stock Market Still In Bear Mode / Stock-Markets / Stocks Bear Market
By: Kingsley_Anderson
Make no mistake about it, this is still a bear market. It has been quite some time since the market has experienced such a violent decline. Any dreams about the rally continuing were violently doused as the market did not appreciate the comments of Mr. Geithner.Read full article... Read full article...

Stocks Bear Market Rally Gathers Strength / Stock-Markets / Stocks Bear Market
By: Andre_Gratian
Current Position of the Market
SPX: Long-term trend - Down! The very-long-term cycles have taken over and if they make their lows when
expected, the bear market which started in October 2007 should continue until 2012-2014. This would imply
that much lower prices lie ahead.
SPX: Intermediate trend - The lows appear to have been tested successfully. Bullish indications suggest another up-wave is starting. It needs to be confirmed by a further advance.

Stocks Bear Market Dow Theory Non-Confirmation Update / Stock-Markets / Stocks Bear Market
By: Tim_Wood
On November 21, 2007 the primary trend, in accordance to classical Dow theory, was confirmed as bearish. To date, nothing has occurred to invalidate that setup. According to Dow theory, once the primary trend is established, that trend must be considered intact until it is “authoritatively” reversed, which in this case would require a joint move by the averages back above their previous secondary high points. Since that has yet to occur, the primary trend must still be considered bearish. Read full article... Read full article...

Stocks Bear Market Will Run into 2012 Targeting S&P 500 / Stock-Markets / Stocks Bear Market
By: David_Petch
The S&P had an impressive move up off the lows yesterday…however, as the Elliott Wave counts will suggest, market action subsequent to the bounce over the coming few days is important for validating either the bullish or bearish scenario.
The CBOE Options Equity Put/Call Ratio Index is shown below, with the S&P 500 Index in the background and accompanying full stochastics shown below. For this chart, the %K rising above the %D indicates broad stock market weakness, while falling beneath the %D indicates broad stock market strength. At present, the %K is above the %D, indicating broad market weakness.

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...
