Stock Market Some Bullish Indications / Stock-Markets / Stock Index Trading
By: Steven_Vincent
The SPX (in red) is being outperformed by small caps, transports, retailers and technology off the February bottom. It is itself outperforming the Dow. This is a bullish, growth profile. Coupled with continued strength in the US Dollar this suggests significant outperformance of the US economy and US Dollar denominated assets. Further, this profile does not correlate with the prevailing worries over the quality of the economic recovery. Where sentiment and market performance are out of sync there may be opportunity present.

Sultans Of Swap: Fearing the Gearing! / Stock-Markets / Credit Crisis 2010
By: Gordon_T_Long
Ever imagine getting your tie caught in a mechanical set of gears (sorry ladies - but I will spare you). The results are nasty! Now you know what the Sultans of Swap in the $695 Trillion global OTC derivatives market feel like. Every day the slow moving gears of the world economies relentlessly grind, making it harder and harder for the Sultans to wiggle loose or breath.

Trends In Gold, 10 Year Treasury Yields, And Crude Oil / Stock-Markets / Financial Markets 2010
By: Guy_Lerner
Figure 1 is a weekly chart of the S&P500 and the indicator is shown in the lower panel. This week's value isn't reflected in the indicator until Friday's close, but if the markets closed right now the indicator would be at the extreme zone. If you had been so smart to only "buy" the S&P500 during those times when the indicator was extreme, then you would get those trades seen in figure 1. Winning trades are in green; the losing trades are noted by the red trend line.

“WALL STREET” the Movie, And What It Means For the Stock Market / Stock-Markets / Stock Market Sentiment
By: Antony_Ganzitti
I came across a rather interesting phenomenon recently. I am an avid observer of price charts and take an unorthodox approach (at times) to trading. I am a big fan of market cycles, Elliott waves, Fibonacci ratios, patterns, and believe in the all conquering theory that price action is the ultimate key to market success.

Stock Market Battle Lines Drawn Between Bulls and Bears / Stock-Markets / Stock Markets 2010
By: INO
To many technicians, it is very clear where the equity markets will reverse, and for those folks who don't follow the technicals, this is a key reversal area in the S&P 500, the NASDAQ, and the Dow.

Stock Market Hanging Tough..... / Stock-Markets / Stock Markets 2010
By: Jack_Steiman
This market is really trying to hang tough and hold S&P 500 1115. It's not bad if it falls below by a few points as the oscillators unwind from overbought, but that level held on today's lows as things finally started to pull back off their highs. As soon as it hit at 1115 buyers came in showing you what the bulls think of staying above this level just captured yesterday for the first time off the recent lows.

Stock Market Improving Risk Sentiment Despite Continuing Greek Debt Crisis / Stock-Markets / Financial Markets 2010
By: PaddyPowerTrader
Risk sentiment has improved further over the past 24 hours. In part this reflects a further easing of concerns about the situation in Greece, with newswires reporting that the Greek government will today announce as much as EUR4.8bn of additional deficit cuts. New measures that will include higher tobacco, alcohol and sales taxes and deeper cuts in public workers’ bonus payments.

Stock Market Doji's At The Top Of The Wedges..... / Stock-Markets / Stock Index Trading
By: Jack_Steiman
Today we saw most of the major index charts hit the top of their wedges with doji candle sticks meaning the sellers caught up to the buyers at this major resistance area. The top of the wedge is key resistance the bears want to make sure doesn't get taken out and when you get doji's at critical resistance, this usually means some type of pullback is upon us. It doesn't mean the selling is going to be intense. In fact, my guess is that there won't be too much selling at all but you have to be prepared for some. It also tells you that you need to be patient with new plays. Lots of plays will set up but they need unwinding to do so.

By: EWI
By Susan Walker
If everyone says that shocks from outside the financial system -- so-called exogenous shocks -- can affect it for better or worse, they must be right.

This Stock Market Indicator Had a "Green" Rating Yesterday / Stock-Markets / Stock Index Trading
By: Marty_Chenard
Yesterday, the rise in the number of New Highs on the New York Stock Exchange reflected an increasing appetite for stocks and buying by investors.
Although we monitor and post nearly 3 dozen charts on our paid site every day, there are 9 specific charts that measure the "underlying fundamental" conditions of the market, and the number of New Daily Highs is one of them.

Financial Insanity or Loathsome Fraud, Creating Money to Buy Government Debt / Stock-Markets / Global Debt Crisis
By: LewRockwell
Richard Daughty writes: I knew that something was amiss when I woke up and the house was quiet. Having the benefit of seeing a lot of movies where things were “too quiet,” I instantly knew that things being “too quiet!” meant that Indians were going to be attacking, or the Japanese attacking, or the Germans attacking, sometimes government goons rushing the place, or zombies, or the police. I dunno who, but you get the point.

Stock Market Bulls Vs. Bears, Who’s Winning Wall Street’s Biggest Battle? / Stock-Markets / Stock Markets 2010
By: Money_Morning
Jon D. Markman writes: Two big economic reports dampened the mood on Wall Street in the past week: The Standard & Poor's/Case-Shiller Home Price Index and the Conference Board's Consumer Confidence Index.
But despite what the bears would have you believe, several strong companies have shrugged such data aside and broken through to new highs. In fact, long-term, we continue to see evidence that a robust business-led recovery is underway.

The Dollar Nears it's Cyclical Ides of March / Stock-Markets / Financial Markets 2010
By: Bob_Clark
The indexes closed near the high of their monthly range. The S&P and the Nasdaq have been out performing the Dow. The transports were very strong Friday making new highs for the recent rally. The long term interest rates fell hitting levels last see two months ago, as bond prices also closed near monthly highs. You know a rising tide is lifting all boats when bonds rally, indicating a slowing economy and transports rally suggesting more products being moved and sold. Clearly the market smells a change in money flow.

Benefit of the Doubt Must Go to the Stock Market Bulls / Stock-Markets / Stock Markets 2010
By: Steven_Vincent
A quick look at a chart of the SPX shows that price has essentially gone nowhere since October. Essentially there is no trend at this time and there hasn't been since October. Another leg down from a lower high would create a 6.5 month head and shoulders topping pattern.

Stock Market Pushing Higher From 20/50 EMA Support..... / Stock-Markets / Stock Index Trading
By: Jack_Steiman
No, we still haven't made it cleanly through S&P 500 1115 or the next area of strong resistance but at least we moved higher once the S&P 500 and the rest of the critical index charts tested their 50- and 20-day exponential moving averages from above. You don't want to see those captured levels get taken back by the bears thus it was put up or shut up time for the bulls and today they surely put up. A nice strong bounce off those 20's and 50's. Just what the doctor ordered.

Just One False Move and its Financial Armageddon / Stock-Markets / Financial Crash
By: Captain_Hook
Just one false move on the part of our price managing bureaucracy and it’s all over – all over but the crying. Of course according to the Governor of New York it’s already over, where by the looks of things beneficiaries of the bureaucracy will be crying soon enough. But if its not now, it would most assuredly not be long after anyway, as for example, on a national level, even the bureaucracy’s own statisticians calculate that within 10 years commitments will consume some 80 percent of the federal budget all things remaining the same, meaning something must give, either increase taxes or cut services and entitlements.
