Indices Barely Salvage Gains In Volatile FOMC Announcement Session

Thu, 05 Nov 2009 00:38:47 GMT

The indices ended a bit positive on FOMC announcement day, but there were some wild gyrations in between. They gapped up at the opening, backed off, and then ran hard in the morning, reaching over 1700 on the Nasdaq 100 and just above 1060 on the S&P 500. Those were key resistance levels. At that point they drifted lower in a corrective looking pattern until the FOMC announcement, but shortly afterward had some wild gyrations, including a sharp drop and then a sharp rally back. At that point it looked like the rally might take out the early morning highs, but they stalled right at them and rolled over hard into the close, giving back most of the gains, but still managed to close a bit positive on the day.[More...]

Choppy Session Ends Positive

Tue, 03 Nov 2009 00:48:59 GMT

The indices ended to the plus side, but it was very choppy. The day started out with a down move and then an immediate reversal. When the Nasdaq 100 made new lows and the S&P 500 didn’t, that caused a positive divergence. They then snapped back very sharply on positive economic news, with the NDX jumping from1657 to 1689, or 32 points in about 35-40 minutes. The SPX rallied from 1037 to 1052.[More...]

Innovative Drug Companies Headline The Gainers

Mon, 02 Nov 2009 20:44:13 GMT

For all the debate about possible reform to the U.S. medical system, it is easy to forget that the majority of major innovations in drugs and medical devices come from America. It is worth remembering that even with all the problems troubling the health care system, innovation continues to be a bright spot. Three of the biggest gains among individual stocks on Monday were from U.S. companies in the pharmaceutical sector largely because of this sort of innovation.[More...]

Sharp Rally Reclaims Much Of Recent Decline

Fri, 30 Oct 2009 00:11:36 GMT

The market had a very strong snapback rally on Thursday from a deeply oversold condition. The day started with a gap up. They pulled back, tested the intraday moving averages successfully and then exploded to the upside. At that point they settled into a shallower angle of ascent, but nevertheless stair-stepped their way higher all day. They did pull back in the last hour, but in the last 10 minutes snapped back once again to close not far off the session highs.[More...]

Closing With A Bang!

Thu, 22 Oct 2009 21:42:07 GMT

The indices ended with a bang on Thursday, but they started out much differently. The indices dropped sharply at the opening and went to new pullback lows. They were short-term oversold at that point, at key trendline support on the Nasdaq 100 and just below key initial support on the S&P 500. They rallied back in a 5-wave advance, with the 5th wave being the sharpest that took the indices to key overhead resistance, only backing off in the last half hour.[More...]
