    The intermediate term trends have turned neutral to slightly lower which gives us reason to be more cautious initiating new longs, but with longer term trends still higher it does not seem like a good idea to get aggressively short. The next few days will reveal whether this is a pullback in an uptrend (I think so) or the beginning of something bigger.

  • Support Breaks
    , January 30th, 2012 at 12:12 pm

    The intermediate term uptrend in the $SPY $XLF and $SMH has been broken and now we need to be more cautious until the markets are able to get back and hold above those levels. The $QQQ is still above its key intermediate term level, but it appears that market is due for at least a time correction after the large gains over the last month. Longer term trends are still higher as evidenced by the rising 20 & 50 day moving averages, for now we will treat this as a pullback/correction within those trends and look for a resumption of strength after selling has subsided and the markets stabilize. This process could take a few days.

  • Elusive Resistance Found With Gap Fill?
    , January 26th, 2012 at 11:10 am

    On August 5, Standard and Poor’s made this announcement United States of America Long-Term Rating Lowered To ‘AA+’ Due To Political Risks, Rising Debt Burden; Outlook Negative

    The market wasn’t surprised by the announcement, it was rumored for at least a week before the actual announcement came. In fact, the real sell off began with a gap lower on July 27 (circled area on daily chart). Today, the market closed that gap after an uninterrupted rally of ~10% from the last significant pullback low.

    Is this area going to be the elusive resistance that shorts have been looking for? It has the potential to be resistance and the short term action is indicating buyers may have run out of energy, but the trends are still higher. Picking a turning point (bottom or top) is one of the most difficult tasks for traders. If attempting to pick a top it is best to start it as a daytrade and then if the market agrees with your position, leave some on and give it more time.
