Thoughts about this crazy rally...

This rally is crazy! All the talk about the market recovering and that we are out of the recession. This is just a bear trap waiting to consume everyone who are ignorant enough.

Anyway the McClellan Oscillator is edging up. It is currently at 217 now which is indicating that this current rally is running out of steam. Even if it continues to rally, it would have to dip and then rally in a wavelike manner. My opinion is that it would dip and then crash. We shall see in 1-2 weeks time whether this rally has legs.

Dow & S&P 500 market analysis for 07/14/2009 Tuesday

Dow & S&P 500 market analysis

We are now in a crucial stage of the market movement. Any big movement up will signal the continuation of the rally since March 09, and any big movement down will signal the end of the rally and also a confirmation a down movement that started from mid June 09 that may bring us to retest the March lows. However by looking at the behavior of the market, I’m in favour of a market tank down to retest the March lows.

But for this tank to happen, the market has to fail to break above 910 for S&P and 8476 for the Dow. So my market analysis for today will be up, to test the resistances.

Direction for 07/14/2009 Tuesday: Up


Crude Oil (USO)

Crude should be going through a period of consolidation between 59.30 to 62 for the rest of the month. The setup of crude seems to indicate a down movement which may bring crude back down to 53 and maybe beyond.

Direction for 07/14/2009 Tuesday: sideways

Dow & S&P 500 market analysis for 07/10/2009 Friday

Dow & S&P 500 market analysis

The S&P tanked throughout the week after breaking the 50 day MA. However we are now looking at a possible retracement to test resistance at around the 890-900 region if this tank is to be sustainable. This should be sometime next week. In the short term (1-2 months), I’m expecting S&P to rally to the 890-900 region and then tank to around 840. Longer term, I expect S&P to test the Feb 09 bottom by the end of the year.

Direction for 07/10/2009 Friday: Up


Crude Oil (USO)

I believe Crude had hit support at 59.60. It should consolidate for a few days before rallying up to test resistance at 62.20. This should take 2-3 weeks. Longer term, I believe crude should tank. The current level at 60+ is fundamentally unsustainable.

Direction for 07/10/2009 Friday: Up

Dow & S&P 500 market analysis for 07/06/2009 Monday

I'm finally back after a long absence. Was travelling Europe. Went to England, Scotland, France and Gerrmany and learnt a great deal.

Anyway the market from then till now had not changed much. It's still in a sideways movement though it seemed to be breaking down soon. We have what seems to be a head and shoulders formation on the indexes, and now we are all monitoring to see if it would break support at around 882 on the S&P and 8245 on the Dow.

If this support breaks, we will see some retracement and then it's down to 800 for S&P and 7500 for Dow. And should it break these 2 important support levels on the indexes, it should not take more than a month to complete the head and shoulders.
