• Confilcting Signals
  on Feb 16, 2010
         Have you ever got mixed signals from someone, where you think ‘something’ is going to happen; and, in fact – the opposite occurs?  This is kind of like the predicament the S&P 500 is in now. &nbs...
• We Must Face Facts
  on Feb 8, 2010
      The trendline breakdown (mentioned last week) looked to be the start of a trend change. To the naked eye, this week’s candle seems to be adding more fuel to the fire!  And, indeed it could be. However, anytime we see pronoun...
• As Goes January...
  on Jan 31, 2010
        It’s often said that January is a good indication of how the year will play out on Wall Street. As I reported last week, the failed ascending triangle pattern in the SPX is not a positive indicator for the current trend.
• The Winter of Discontent
  on Jan 24, 2010
        Looking at the weekly chart of the S&P 500, we can see trouble with the technical developments of this week’s trading.  You can see the ascending triangle pattern that the index broke out of in late December. The...
• The Running of the Bulls
  on Jan 19, 2010
      As the US Dollar Index tries to form it’s first ‘higher low’ in a decade, I feel as if I need to mention how important of a game changer this could be for the markets. The index is maintaining levels above a now rising...
• January Bulls
  on Jan 10, 2010
      The S&P 500, as well as the major sectors which drive the major index, look very strong. I commented on the radio last week that the only leading sectors that weren’t participating were the Banking (BKX) and other Financial Se...
• A New Year with 'Old' Trends
  on Jan 3, 2010
      The S&P 500 gave up a technically ‘ugly’ last trading day of 2009. The Bearish Engulfing Candle, near the top of a breakout that didn’t look very bullish to begin with; gives me pause. The first sign of weakness fo...
• Happy New Year!?
  on Dec 27, 2009
  This holiday-shortened week was an impressive one. Both the COMPQ and the SPX are now above their narrow trading ranges (the S&P 500 above 1120 and the Nasdaq Composite well above 2200). Additionally, most of the major sectors are following suit.
• No Movement, but Things are Happening
  on Dec 20, 2009
          Although still convinced that the S&P will not move above 1120 or below 1080 before the end of `09, I’m still looking at other indices setting up for a move in the New Year. For instance, look at the chart above...
• Not Too Much of Anything
  on Dec 13, 2009
  As the Gold Market continues to pullback and the US Dollar Index rallies off historic lows, the S&P 500 Index continues to trade in a fairly tight range in the area of the year’s high. Normally, I would say: This is a very bullish sign for...
