• S&P 500 Analysis for 1-26-10
  alphatrends, January 25th, 2010 at 9:51 pm

  The SPY experienced a bounce from oversold levels on Monday, but the upside action was unconvincing. There was a late day push to new highs for the day but it failed at the 2 day VWAP and then experienced a weak close. The market remains fragile and with it below the declining 5 day moving average any long side trades should be kept to daytrades only. A test of the lows from last week seems likely and if the 109 level fails to hold as support then a test of the 100 day MA ~108.78 and the trendline (not shown) which connects from the mid- August lows seems likely, the trendline is in the approximate location as the 100 DMA. This market needs to settle down and establish firm support before most long positions can be trusted again.

  Please REGISTER HERE for Monday’s (January 25) live event from 8-9 PM Eastern. We will not discuss any bulletin board stocks or stocks which trade less than 500,000 shares per day.

  Questions about market concepts should be sent only to [email protected] We will still discuss your stock ideas and use the gotomeeting text for those.

  - How to handle stocks which gap higher in the morning

  - What causes early moves which then fail in individual stocks?

  - Why do some people use a 9 vs 10 DMA or 21 vs 21?

  There are no new watch ideas for Friday.  The market needs to settle down here.
