Key Markets And Indicators Divergence: Stocks, Copper, Treasuries, Bonds, Investor Sentiment and Commodities / Stock-Markets / Financial Markets 2011
By: Tony_Pallotta
I posted a few charts this week showing some extreme levels and or divergences and wanted to combine them into one follow up post. The equity markets are at a very important juncture right now and confusion is rampant in every trader's mind.
The markets have fooled almost everyone over the past two years and with QE2 ending in six weeks the headlights draw near as the deer stand in the middle of the road unsure which way to run.

Stocks Bear Market Rally and Market Manipulation / Stock-Markets / Stocks Bear Market
By: Tim_Wood
As I have stated all along, my research suggests to me that the rally out of the March 2009 low has been a bear market rally. Nothing has occurred to change that point of view. In light of that view, I have received a number of e-mails asking about manipulation and if “they” could prevent such an event from happening.

Stock Market Wave Counts / Stock-Markets / Stock Markets 2011
By: WavePatternTraders
This week I want to spend some time on some long term views, as I have received some questions about my views to the long term trend. Whilst I am not really a fan of long wave term counts, we are following a couple of ideas.
I am sure there are readers asking themselves is this a bull or bear market?

Stock Market Shifting.... / Stock-Markets / Stock Markets 2011
By: Jack_Steiman
That's the best word I can use to describe this market. It's shifting from acting as a bull to more of a bear, or better yet, a correction in the making. Upside is becoming more strained. The bulls are struggling to gain some steam as those weekly negative divergences across the board on all the major index charts are holding the market down. In addition, on the last small move higher, the daily MACD didn't turn up at all, which isn't what you want to see if you're a bull expecting the next leg up in this ongoing bull market. When oscillators act more strained you know it's going to be a tough time to get going to the up side. So you need to respond accordingly, and that means, simply, to take the foot off the gas and slow down dramatically.

Stock Market S&P500 Cycle Analysis Update / Stock-Markets / Cycles Analysis
By: readtheticker
What leads, technicals or fundamentals? Does a price chart discount all fundamentals? These debates rage on, but I can say with the utmost accuracy that cycles are great for predicting in the next explosion of activity. A rally or a sell off, no matter cycles have an uncanny knack of being on the money when either is in the infant stages.

Stock Market Back And Forth.... / Stock-Markets / Stock Markets 2011
By: Jack_Steiman
Still no breakdown. Not close today. Close yesterday, but not close today. The first attempt at losing 1315 S&P 500 was met with strong buying off a 1318 low yesterday into today. The bears got close. They smelled success, but were thwarted away with relative ease. This is completely normal action as the bears will never break a market down at the most critical level of support on the first try. It can take more attempts than one thinks possible. So today we blasted up off the first test ,and now we're not even close to breaking down.

US Corporate Earnings Peaking - Shift into Defensive Growth Stocks / Stock-Markets / Corporate Earnings
By: Rory_Gillen
The recovery in global stock markets, which started in mid March 2009, is just over two years old. Many commentators feel that the recovery is illusory, based on cheap money from central banks and reckless fiscal spending by governments desperate to stave off recession and rising unemployment. Others see an improving global economy with the emerging markets as the new locomotive of world growth underpinned by rising populations, the urbanisation of China and India in particular and the consequent growth in emerging economy middle class incomes, which has brought some two billion consumers into the global economy.

Stock Market Defining Lines Are Clear....Bears Making A Move.... / Stock-Markets / Stock Markets 2011
By: Jack_Steiman
It's all about 1315 and 1370. 1370 being the old highs and 1315 being the trend line from the old lows. Anything that takes place in between is simply noise. But my job is to try to figure out which way things will break, which is just not clear right now. The bears are fighting down here. Trying to rid 1335 with force and get through the 50-day exponential moving average at 1327. Because the two levels are so close the bears really need to push this towards 1315 quickly, so the bulls will then struggle with support-turned-resistance at 1327/1335.

Don't Be Fooled by Last Week's Stock Market Dip, U.S. Stocks Are Headed Higher / Stock-Markets / Stock Markets 2011

U.S. stocks struggled during a Friday the 13th week that was rigged like a haunted house with a trap door. The main problem for equities was strength in the dollar, which has the effect of undermining the value of commodities and, lately, stocks.

Stock Market Warning Signs / Stock-Markets / Stock Markets 2011
By: Toby_Connor
It is been my belief that stocks and the economy have been locked in a secular bear market since March of 2000. During that period we've had two recessions and two cyclical bear markets. One of those recessions was the worst since the Great Depression and the last bear market in stocks was the second worst in history.
I've said all along that printing money will not cure the problem we've gotten ourselves into. It's never worked in history and it's not going to work this time either. We can't solve a problem of too much debt with more debt. All we will accomplish is to make the problem bigger.
