S&P Technicals

s&p index gainsThe S&P closed its sixth consecutive day in the green as, once again, we begin another week of buying. However, one problem is that today's trading volume was the lowest we've seen this year since January 2nd (the day after New Years). So on one hand, market levels are slowly pushing up, but on the other, less and less people are participating in it. I'll let you decide if that is good or bad.

The S&P is having a hard time penetrating and sustaining the 1070-1080 levels at this point. Last week, the S&P quickly retreated from it, as it did earlier today. I would imagine that if the market cannot penetrate these levels this time around, we should see a rather strong retreat, leaving us with a discouraging October. I am still waiting for the volume to return at this point, which in my mind, will bring even more aggressive selling.

My shares of DRV have stayed pretty status quo as of this point, as I still have a stop loss in case of a run up in the markets this week. However, if data continues to be grim, I would expect to see a pull back. Earnings is the topic of conversation this week, as they kick off tomorrow. Watch out for earnings, as they are the easiest data to manipulate. CPI is another big indicator to be on the look out for this week.

I expect to see the dollar start to make a turn around shortly as gold begins to fall from its highs. Gold call options have significantly decreased in price, signaling investors feel that we have falling prices in the future. The market still remains very unstable and volatile, however, fundamental data remains right in line with my expectations. Happy Trading.

    FF there have been 3-4 False sell signals or reversal patterns that have not panned out. Each time the bulls/buyers have violently disregarded these previous reliable technical patterns. Yesterday set up for another bearish reversal which will not materialize again. The Intel earnings manipulated or not will be the first of many nails in the bear case this earning season. This should be a good indicator of what to expect in the days and weeks ahead. More new highs and buyers on every pullback. Extremely confusing and frustrating. There is no stopping it. The government has succeeded in saving the markets and it appears certain sectors of the economy are in a v shape recovery. A painful lesson learned the last months, never fight the fed. I am all cash. One dead bear here. 0 Logic in investing.
