01/16/2009 Market Recap: Follow-through, Yes, but...

OK, we got a follow-through on Friday, but I'm not happy, because the bounce was weak and on decreased volume. Maybe it's because of  the long weekend and OE day effect, but anyway, next Tuesday, the market must up big otherwise, bulls will be in trouble.

7.0.3 NYSE Composite Index Breadth Watch, this is the main reason why I'm not happy. According to "Equal up down strength" rule, bulls have 4 days left to prove themselves.

Let's see if by any chances this short-term bounce can last for awhile:

0.0.2 SPY Short-term Trading Signals, 2 hammers plus STO buy signal triggered very close to its oversold area, so under normal conditions the bounce is likely to continue.

Charts from www.stocktiming.com, from Liquidity Flow and Institutional "shift in direction" point of view, they're still at very low level.

Again, Institutional Buying and Selling Trending chart from www.stocktiming.com which I first introduced on Christmas day. Now blue curve is well bellow the red curve which means a distribution and therefore a downtrend in intermediate-term. The good news is that the blue curve is too low and therefore justifying a possible short-term rebound.

OK, now the possible rebound target:

1.0.3 S&P 500 SPDRs (SPY 30 min), potential Head and Shoulders Bottom, the theoretical target happens to be Fib 61.8 level.

  2. What do you mean? Don't understand. Hutong is OK, unless you're in China.

  4. Cobra, any idea why U.S. market futures swung dramatically from positive to negative over the course of the weekend?

  5. Hutong is a Chinese forum where I post my Chinese version daily report. QSCNC probably means that he/she could not enter Hutong which I think is impossible unless he/she is in China.

    For the futures dramatical changes, I think we need to see tomorrow. For very long time, I've found it's very interesting that whenever the world tanks while US market is closed, the 2nd day, the US market does generally well. We'll see.

  10. You can try to release IP and renew IP. Go to command prompt, then type ipconfig /release then ipconfig /renew, also you can try ipconfig /flushdns. I checked on the Hutong console, no one prohibited your IP, so should be OK.

  15. It looks like financials tanked sharply in Europe while U.S. markets are closed. Do you think we will see financials tank in the U.S. on Tuesday?

    ReplyDelete
  16. I doubt that. But if it does tank tomorrow, I cannot disagree. :-)
