Stock Market Negative Session Takes Out Short-term Support / Stock-Markets / Stock Markets 2010
By: Harry_Boxer
The stock market indices opened positive but then immediately sold off sharply in a 3-wave decline that reached the session lows just before noon at about 1851 on the Nasdaq 100 and about 1100 on the S&P 500. They rallied backed steadily over the next couple hours to reach their snapback highs right above minor resistance, and then sold off, but with about 40 minutes to go snapped back again and managed to take back more losses, but still ended negative on the session in what looked liked bear-flag consolidation intraday.

Stock Market Dow New Highs All Lies / Stock-Markets / Stock Markets 2010
By: Sol_Palha
"All pain is either severe or slight, if slight, it is easily endured; if severe, it will without doubt be brief." ~ Marcus T. Cicero 106-43 BC, Great Roman Orator, Politician
As the saying goes, a picture speaks a thousand words and the charts below quite clearly illustrates that the Dow has not put in a single new high in the past 3 years.

Stock Market WTF Wednesday? Bangkok Burns, Blankfein Moves Up / Stock-Markets / Stock Markets 2010
By: PhilStockWorld
On May 6th I warned that revolution was in the air. Today Thailand’s Stock Exchange has been put to flames by protestors along with the malls they can no longer afford to shop in and the television stations that lie to them and tell them how great everything is while their lifestyles go down the toilet. Like any good colony of cockroaches, Thai traders had already scurried off to do their trading elsewhere - in a secret location away from the lights and they took their market UP 0.7%, betting that this out-of-hand violence will now be met with an equally violent government response that will end all this silliness and let them get back to skimming their profits off the people on a daily basis.Read full article...

Stock Market Indices Stair-Step Lower & Close Near Key Support / Stock-Markets / Stock Markets 2010
By: Harry_Boxer
The stock market indices opened strong today and reached the session highs in the first 20 minutes, and from there it was downhill the rest of the day as the S&P 500 stair-stepped lower in a neat, orderly channel to retest yesterday's lows. At that point they bounced a couple times, but couldn't make any progress.

Stock Market Gap Up And Reversal...200's Holding So Far... / Stock-Markets / Stock Markets 2010
By: Jack_Steiman
The market had put in a doji yesterday but did not do so at a critical level of support or resistance. We got the expected bounce at the open but did not hold, which often happens away from those critical support or resistance areas. Less trustworthy to hold for a full day. Once the gap up got taken out and filled it was all down hill from there.

Are We Set For Stock Market Turnaround Tuesday? / Stock-Markets / Stock Markets 2010
By: PaddyPowerTrader
US stocks rose Monday, with the Dow dramatically reversing a 184-point drop, as a rise in the US homebuilders NAHB index and the euro’s rebound from a four-year low bolstered optimism. Sprint Nextel climbed 3% to help lead telephone companies to the biggest gain among 10 groups after saying “steep” revenue declines have ended. GLG Partners rallied 50% as Man Group agreed to buy the hedge-fund firm for $1.6 billion.

Stock Market Strategies for the Post-Financial-Crisis ‘New World Order’ / Stock-Markets / Stock Markets 2010
By: Money_Morning
Jon D. Markman writes: For many investors, the recent thousand-point plunge by the U.S. stock market was probably the proverbial last straw.
So let me be perfectly clear about the point that I want to make here: Sitting on the sidelines could be the investment mistake of a lifetime. The post-financial-crisis "new world order" that's emerged from the speculative excesses, recessionary realities and regulatory breakdowns of recent years has created a world of lucrative new profit opportunities - governed by a new set of profit rules.

Stock Market Indices Edge Higher in Afternoon Snapback After Steep Losses / Stock-Markets / Stock Markets 2010
By: Harry_Boxer
The stock market indices started the day to the plus side but failed at resistance and rolled over hard in the morning. They reached the session lows on a spike down just before noon at about the 1873 area on the Nasdaq 100 and the 1195 area on the S&P 500. At that point they began a stair-step move back up, which accelerated over the course of the afternoon and closed with the indices back into the plus column, but just barely.

Stock Market Doji late... / Stock-Markets / Stock Markets 2010
By: Jack_Steiman
Which simply means that there should be some relief short-term for the market but expecting too much is probably not a good idea since we have some very strong resistance a little more than 1% above closing prices. 1155 is the gap down on the The Standard & Poor's Depositary Receipts (SPY) from a few days back and then there's also the trailing lower 20- and 50-day exponential moving averages at 1164/1165 respectively. 1155/1165 will be very tough in the short-term for the bulls as we whipsaw all over the place on what is seemingly a daily basis. The charts tonight show clearly these ranges we are stuck in.

Has the Stock Market S&P 500 Index Topped Out? / Stock-Markets / Stock Markets 2010
By: INO
This past weekend I visited some friends in Texas. The reason I bring this up, is that these folks are very worldly and very smart. During my visit, the conversation naturally turned to the market and what is going on.

Stocks Bull Market Hits Eurozone Debt Crisis Brick Wall, Forecast Into July 2010 / Stock-Markets / Stock Markets 2010
By: Nadeem_Walayat
Are the markets manipulated ? Are they ?
You have been repeatedly told by those that clearly don't immerse themselves in trading on a regular basis that they are not manipulated instead the movements are a function of some ordered theory that implies certainty of outcome when all one can do in reality is to conclude towards a probability of outcome that are usually little better than 60/40, well on the 6th everyone got the answer that they should imprint into their memories that the markets REALLY ARE manipulated. If your going to learn one lesson from 2010 then let that be the lesson learned. Contemplate on it, let it sink in, let it skew how you interpret price action and maybe you too can join in on future market manipulations!

Stock Market Beyond Help / Stock-Markets / Stock Markets 2010
By: Adam_Brochert
You know you're beyond help when a big, scary down trading day in the stock market gets the government to investigate. If the stock market goes down, there has to be an investigation. For everyone deserves prosperity. Be honest for just a minute and answer this question: would governments investigate the market if it suddenly went 2,000 points higher (whether by accident or due to intentional manipulation) in the course of an hour? Are there circuit breakers for overly fast bull moves in the stock market?

Stock Market Trend Decisively Broken, Trading on Emotion – Eurozone Blues / Stock-Markets / Stock Markets 2010
By: Peter_Navarro
Last week, I indicated that the market trend was broken and that the best strategy for a risk-averse retail investor in the absence of a clear upward trend was a move to cash. So emotionally, just how did you handle that observation when the stock market soared on the following Monday?

Stock Market Steep Losses Despite Late Snapback Rally / Stock-Markets / Stock Markets 2010
By: Harry_Boxer
Well, the week ended on quite the negative note, as the stock market indices started sharply lower and moved lower for most of the morning. About 11:30 they bounced, then backed and filled for several hours in what appeared to be a basing attempt. After a late afternoon retest of the lows on the S&P 500 for the third time, they held, then snapped back sharply, and for the last 30 minutes took back a big chunk of the losses.

Stock Markets In the Eye of a Financial Storm? / Stock-Markets / Stock Markets 2010
By: Sy_Harding
Living in Florida I’ve been in the eye of several hurricanes. In the eye, one side of the storm has passed and there is great relief. There’s some rubble and signs of destruction, but the sun is shining. We begin to pick up the pieces. There’s a hopeful feeling the danger has passed. Then you listen to the weather forecasters and learn it’s just a temporary respite. You’re in the eye of the storm. The other side of it is about to arrive, sometimes with more fury than the first side.

Stock Market Freak Out Friday / Stock-Markets / Stock Markets 2010
By: PhilStockWorld
The Euro fell below $1.25 this morning and the Pound plunged all the way to $1.45 as the new government of the UK gets the fastest "no confidence" vote ever delivered by the financial markets. Keep in mind that only 36% of the people in the UK wanted Conservative leadership. The Labor Party got 29% of the vote and further left Liberal Democrats got 23% of the vote with crazy parties getting 12% of the vote. This is the problem with multi-party systems - MORE than half the people are unsatisfied with the result of almost every election.
