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.

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.

Stock Market Rally on Pause Until Mid March / Stock-Markets / Stock Markets 2010
By: Andre_Gratian
Current Position of the Market
Very 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 2014.
SPX: Long-term trend - Up! We are in a medium-term bull market, which is a corrective move within a long term bear
market. This bull market should last until 2011-2012.

Tory's Panic on Narrowing Opinion Polls
Time is running out for Gordon Brown to declare the date for the UK general election. Despite gaff after gaff, the stumbling, tumbling Gordon Brown has some good news as the opinion polls have narrowed considerably over the past few weeks firmly into the realms of a hung parliament. A shocked conservative party that despite a slick marketing machine against Labour's chaos has redoubled it's efforts to push towards a Conservative victory after the complacency of a few weeks ago.

Stock Market Trend Remains in a Correction / Stock-Markets / Stock Markets 2010
By: Peter_Navarro
The big news last week was the failure of all of the major averages to follow through on the impressive gains recorded the week ending 02/19/10. As noted in last week's Market Letter, all of the major averages with the exception of the DJ Transportation and the DJ Utility Indexes had broken out of their downward channels. Also, most of the majors had completed a 50% retracement of their declines from the mid-January 2010 highs to the early February 2010 lows suggesting that a complete retracement back to the January 2010 highs were in the cards. The negatives in the market out weigh the positives at this time suggesting that a pull back over the next three to four weeks is a good possibility.”

By: Richard_Shaw
In markets, anything can happen. Events in particular can cause quantum shifts in sentiment, real economic prospects, and valuation levels.
