Stock Market Heading Down / Stock-Markets / Stock Markets 2012
By: Anthony_Cherniawski
After an impulsive decline, SPX bounced back to the Bearish Wedge trendline and Intermediate-term support/resistance for a quick challenge before turning back down. There may be some brief support at the Orthodox Broadening Top trendline at 1390.00, but I don’t expect it to last. The next support is the 200-day moving average at 1385.34. Final support is at the Cycle Bottom channel line at 1351.90. I don’t know how fast these support may be taken out. It appears that the decline should be over in two weeks or less, since options expiration comes on December 21.

Stock Market Pop and Slide / Stock-Markets / Stock Markets 2012
By: PhilStockWorld
Doug Short writes: The S&P 500 popped at the open and hit its intraday high, up 0.53%, in the first two minutes of trading. The rest of the day was a slide, with occasional bumps to a closing loss of 0.47%. The opening selloff accelerated at 10 AM with the release of the November ISM Manufacturing report, which registered a 2.2 percent drop into contraction territory for the headline index. Of course, the financial press mentions the ongoing “Cliff” anxieties, which were brought to the forefront by a GOP letter to the White House rejecting the president’s Cliff fix and countering with a no-tax-increase rejoinder.

ISM Stock Market Knockout..... / Stock-Markets / Stock Markets 2012
By: Jack_Steiman
The market had a nice bid underneath it this morning pre-market. S&P 500 futures were up nearly seven points with the Nasdaq up double digits. The S&P 500 had a double top of horizontal resistance at 1434/1435. It looked as if the S&P 500 was going up to test as it waited for the ISM Manufacturing Report to come out. Thirty minutes into the trading day we got the number. Anything above 50.0 shows economic expansion, while anything below 50.0 shows contraction. The market was expecting a number a bit over 50.0. It was nothing to get excited about or celebrate, but a number over 50.0 nonetheless. The market wanted to see economic growth, no matter how slight it was. 49.5 was the number that came in. Not good.

Stock Market SP500 at a CRUCIAL Pivot Point / Stock-Markets / Stock Markets 2012
By: David_Banister
We had an interesting 131 point SP 500 decline from the summer-fall highs of 1474 to the recent 1344 lows. Interesting because in the work that I do, we focus on crowd behavioral patterns, sentiment, and Elliott Wave Theory. There is no one technical analysis methodology that works all the time, so it’s important to incorporate other elements into your work to help with some clues. Let’s examine the crossroad we are at right now around 1420 on the SP 500 and why the next move may be a “tell” as they say in poker.

Stock Market S&P 1424 Inflection Point / Stock-Markets / Stock Markets 2012
By: Andre_Gratian
Current position of the market
SPX: Very Long-term trend – The very-long-term cycles are down and, if they make their lows when expected (after this bull market is over) there will be another steep and prolonged decline into late 2014. It is probable, however, that the steep correction of 2007-2009 will have curtailed the full downward pressure potential of the 120-yr cycle.
SPX: Intermediate trend – SPX has made a top at 1474. A mid-correction rally is underway.

US Stock Market Nearing Bull/bear Inflection Point / Stock-Markets / Stock Markets 2012
By: Tony_Caldaro
The rally from the SPX 1343 low, two weeks ago friday, continued this week as the SPX hit 1420 on thursday. Thus far the advance looks impulsive and is riding a WROC buy signal. Which usually precedes an uptrend confirmation. Which, btw, is not all that far away. For the week the SPX/DOW gained 0.3%, and the NDX/NAZ rose 1.5%. Asian markets gained 1.0% European markets gained 0.3%, and the DJ World index gained 0.9%. On the economic front positive reports marginally outpaced negative reports eight to seven. On the uptick: Q3 GDP, Case-Shiller, consumer confidence, FHFA housing prices, pending home sales, PCE prices, the Chicago PMI and weekly jobless claimed improved. On the downtick: durable goods orders, new homes sales/prices, personal income/spending, the WLEI, and the Monetary base. Next week we will get the Payrolls report, ISM and monthly Auto sales.

Political Banter...... Stock Market Whipped...... / Stock-Markets / Stock Markets 2012
By: Jack_Steiman
The market was whipped around all week as each and every word out of the mouth of a political leader was used to move the markets up or down in a big way in a matter of moments. We saw the S&P 500 move up and down a 10 handle in literally minutes when the right or wrong thing was ushered out to the public. Sometimes the boys from both sides were arm in arm saying all the right things one day only to have them shoot negative statements against the other side the very next day, the market reacting each time without it making much sense as the technicals are being whipped around. They can look bullish one day and then not so the next. They're not as reliable as we'd like them to be as they're hostage to our political leaders like the rest of us are. Makes trading tougher for you can't trust what you see as much as you normally would.

Stock Elliott DAX Index Elliott Wave Analysis / Stock-Markets / Stock Markets 2012
By: WavePatternTraders
From the March 2009 lows we can clearly see that the market resembles a 3 wave advance, this is a key component to Elliotticians as it suggests the advance is a corrective move against the decline from 2007-2009.If you look closer you can clearly see what looks like a wedge shape. I am currently working an idea on the SPX to see a new yearly high around 1480-1500SPX either into the yearend or the start of next year.

The Boehner Obama One-Two Stock Market Bounce / Stock-Markets / Stock Markets 2012
By: PhilStockWorld
Courtesy of Doug Short : The S&P 500 opened lower and fell to its intraday low, off 0.97%, shortly after 10 AM. That was when Speaker of the House John Boehner triggered a rally with another of his vague expressions of optimism about bulldozing the Fiscal Cliff. In separate remarks President Obama spoke of a deal within the next four weeks. The market responded with a pair of bounces. The index closed the day near its intraday high with a gain of 0.79%.

Fed Bernanke...Boehner...Obama.... Stock Market Reversal Up.... / Stock-Markets / Stock Markets 2012
By: Jack_Steiman
, and talk up how they would find a solution to the fiscal cliff. That both sides would make concessions and that a good solution was in the cards. The market rallied hard. The market topped and started falling again with the Dow down over 100 points today. Out of the blue, and my guess from Mr. Bernanke, who always watches the market, Boehner came out again today and said he and Obama were working closely together, and that a solution would be found between the two sides. Again, in days of market distress they come out.

US Dollar and Stock Market Relationships Near Term / Stock-Markets / Stock Markets 2012
By: David_Banister
The SP 500 is likely to pullback from a 66 point rally off the 1343 pivots. Those pivots were right at a Fibonacci fractal retracement of 61.8% of the Summer rally. That rally ran from 1267-1474 as we all know in hindsight, and the correction was a normal correction within a bull cycle.

Nas/AAPL Won't Fall.... Dow/S&P 500 Small Pullback... / Stock-Markets / Stock Markets 2012
By: Jack_Steiman
The bid is back in for this market after the weekly charts printed outside sticks last week when compared to the action from the previous week. That normally tells the worst of the selling is over, but that does not preclude one more move lower over time to double bottom. That's unclear for now. The market tried selling today, but, sadly, it's now all about Apple Inc. (AAPL), which had a strong day to the up side, meaning the Nasdaq out performed, closing in the green while the S&P 500 and Dow were down a little bit. In reality a nothing-from-nothing day. However, with the Nasdaq hanging tough, it allowed its short-term chart RSI to remain in the upper 70's. Not a good reading for buying new plays.

Stock Market New Uptrend Probably Underway / Stock-Markets / Stock Markets 2012
By: Tony_Caldaro
Last friday’s optimism for a quick resolution to the potential fiscal cliff, continued this week as US equity markets rallied. In fact, US stock market indices had their best week since June. For the week the SPX/DOW were +3.5%, and the NDX/NAZ were +4.1%. Asian markets gained 1.7%, European market gained 4.9%, and the DJ World index rose 3.8%. On the economic front, reports swung back to positive after one week with a negative bias. For the week positive reports outnumbered negative ones five to three. On the downtick: building permits, consumer sentiment and the WLEI. On the uptick: existing homes sales, housing starts, the NAHB index, leading indicators, and weekly jobless claims improved. Next week we get to review the FED’s Beige book, Q3 GDP, PCE prices and additional housing reports. Best to your week!

World Stock Markets Best Week of 2012 / Stock-Markets / Stock Markets 2012
By: PhilStockWorld
Doug Short. writes: All eight of the indexes on our world market watch list closed the week with a gain. In fact, the average gain o the eight at 3.41% is the biggest weekly increase of 2012. The three EU indexes were the top performers, with France’s CAC 40 and Germany’s DAXK rising more than five percent (5.60% and 5.16% respectively). The next four indexes, lead by the FTSE 100, finished the week with gains in the top half of the three percent range. Even China’s last-place Shanghai was up a respectable 0.63%.

U.S. Dollar tell us Stocks are Likely to Fall / Stock-Markets / Stock Markets 2012
By: Chris_Vermeulen
The stock market is at a very critical pivot point which I feel will generate opportunities in December and for the first quarter of 2013.
Trading with the trend is not always an easy task. It is human nature to predict and jump to conclusions and usually it’s better to trade with the trend no matter what your emotions are telling you. The current trend is down and I stick with that until we are proven wrong.

Why the Stock Market and Gold Rallied on Bad News / Stock-Markets / Stock Markets 2012
By: J_W_Jones
The amount of negative news that we have seen recently has been mind-blowing. Europe is going into recession, Greece and several other countries are on the verge of bankruptcy, the Middle East is a powder-keg, and the U.S. is facing a fiscal cliff. Shockingly for most retail traders, the past week has produced a very strong return for U.S. equity indexes as well as risk assets in general.

Stock Market Forecasts For the Coming Week / Stock-Markets / Stock Markets 2012
By: Manas_Banerji
If markets have to face big sell-offs from big institutes then will not they come before? A good example of that is the end of the 2007 and beginning 2008 though then there were no big election like recent days. So if I consider that due to that vital US election market did not crash then this may not be a good time for that. If it has to come then that will come in market tops or at least in intermediate top levels. So, that means are we going to see more up moves in coming days!

Stock Market Reasons to Be Bullish - At Least For A While! / Stock-Markets / Stock Markets 2012
By: Sy_Harding
After stumbling again in the summer months, the U.S. economy is clearly back on track - if politicians smarten up and prevent it from going over the fiscal cliff.
The recovery is also now being led by the housing industry, which is a particularly good omen. The two main driving forces of the economy have traditionally been the housing and auto industries. That makes sense since when those industries are healthy their good fortune pays forward to their suppliers and peripheral industries like furniture and appliance makers.
