Stock Market Doji Reversal Pattern / Stock-Markets / Technical Analysis
By: Jack_Steiman
Normally when you get a doji after a trend has been in place, you see a reversal of that trend for a few days. A doji meaning you open and close at basically the same level which indicates that the bears in this case have caught up to the bulls short term. The question now becomes, will it matter? It has worked at times in this bull run and hasn't worked at times, although doji's off a strong trend in place usually do work. Add in how overbought we are on those daily charts and you have a decent chance of seeing at least some type of selling over the next couple of days.

Stock Market Rally, What the Smart and Dumb Money is Doing Now / Stock-Markets / Stock Index Trading
By: Q1_Publishing
Herding is when many investors make the same choice based on observations of others, independent of their own knowledge. Markets do tend to have phases when one sentiment becomes dominant. These diversity breakdowns are consistent with booms (everyone acts bullish) and busts (everyone acts bearish).

S&P Stocks Bear Market Rally Top Update / Stock-Markets / Stocks Bear Market
By: Alistair_Gilbert
“TIME is more important than PRICE”, in the immortal words of WD Gann, is the reason why I look for TIME Cycles in the markets, because when TIME is up PRICE will fall. I have a number of TIME Cycles falling over the next week starting with yesterday which tells me that we are nearly at a top or possibly the top.

Eye on Stock Market Short SPY (SH) / Stock-Markets / Stock Index Trading
By: Mike_Paulenoff
Time to take defensive precautions in case the major equity market ETFs initiate a potential potent countertrend move (profit-taking). If the ProShares Single Levered Short SPY (NYSE: SH) hurdles and sustains above key resistance at 55.90-56.00, we should see follow-through strength that takes out 56.25, which will trigger a substantial countertrend advance to 57.30/60 for starters. However, as long as the SH remains below 55.95, the SH bears are in control.

Germany's DAX: FREE Insight Into Europe's Leading Economy / Stock-Markets / European Stock Markets
By: EWI
It's one of the first rules in the book of mainstream economic wisdom: a country's economy is the thermometer which "reads" its stock market's temperature. If financial conditions are heating up, stocks rise; if they are cooling down, stocks fall. Were it so simple -- millionaires wouldn't make up a measly .15% of the global population.

Stock Market Rallies to Fill Bear Market Gap / Stock-Markets / Stock Index Trading
By: Jack_Steiman
Stunning. How in the world did the market just say "I don't care" to 1060 on the S&P 500? We closed at 1068 and that's barely through, but come on, even getting through it by 1 point is impressive enough. When we had the gap down from 1080 to 1060, it was a huge gap obviously and occurred on massive volume. There's no way we should have been able to just move into the gap again with the top at 1080. If we clear 1080, look out above. It shows you the intensity of just how strong this market is.

Stock Market Indices Extremely Overbought as Rally Rolls On / Stock-Markets / Stock Index Trading
By: Harry_Boxer
The markets were choppy early on, although they did have a positive opening. They then backed off, rallied again, backed off again, but then came on with thrust, spiking up to 1720 on the Nasdaq 100 and 1065 on the S&P 500 before backing and filling and retesting.

Quantitative Easing Fuelled Stock Market Recovery / Stock-Markets / Quantitative Easing
By: Mike_Whitney
We keep hearing that "The worst is behind us", but the spin doesn't square with the facts. Sure the stock market has done well, but scratch the surface and you'll find that things are not as what they seem. Zero hedge--which is quickly becoming the "go-to" market-update spot on the Internet--recently posted an eye-popping chart which traces the Fed's monetization programs (Quantitative Easing) with the 6-month surge in the S&P 500.

Stock Market Bullish Stance Wears Thin / Stock-Markets / Stocks Bear Market
By: John_Browne
Readers familiar with my views know that I believe that the current stock market rally is a bullish chapter in an otherwise bearish novel. In the spring of this year, I had said I would not be surprised if the Dow were to hit 10,000 by the end of summer. While I was a little too optimistic on that particular forecast, it now looks as if U.S. stock markets are a bit ‘toppy' and a reversal may be in the cards. Seven factors, five tactical and two strategic, cause me to see a change in the wind.

The Case for a Stocks Bear Market Rally / Stock-Markets / Stocks Bear Market
By: Hans_Wagner
Are we in a bull or bear market? That is the question many are asking with the S&P 500 up 50% from its March 9th low. Whether we are in a new bull market or just experiencing another bear market rally is important for investors to answer. Today, I will present the case for a bear market rally. In the next few days, I will offer why the bear market is over.

Banking on RKH Regional Bank HLDRs ETF / Stock-Markets / Banking Stocks
By: Mike_Paulenoff
Let’s notice that the Regional Bank HLDRs ETF (AMEX: RKH), which we added yesterday, continues to climb to new recovery highs, hurdling the August double-top at 81.45/49 in the process, which usually is a very constructive technical event. If the RKH sustains for today’s session above 81.50, then my next target becomes 85.20/60. The heaviest weightings in the ETF are JPM, WFC, USB, BAC, NTRS, PNC, BK, BBT and STI.

The Financial Crash, U.S. Dollar, Cash and Gold / Stock-Markets / Financial Markets 2009
By: Tarek_Saab
With the Dow continuing its steady climb into September, economists are giddy with enthusiasm as they usher forth a stream of emotional pontification throughout the news media. Calls for a new bull market and an end to the recession are increasing with the rising levels of optimism (see: MarketWatch). How anyone can be bullish on stocks despite the innumerable economic warning signs is beyond my comprehension.

Stock Market Hits Gap Resistance / Stock-Markets / Stock Index Trading
By: Jack_Steiman
We hit the gap today with the S&P 500 hitting a drop over 1056. Just a couple of points below 1060, thus the gap has been hit. The question now is, how far do we pull back and what can we expect once the selling is done?
