New 2009 Highs For Nasdaq, While Blue Chips Stay Flat

Wed, 10 Jun 2009 04:22:00 GMT

The indices ended up marginally higher, although the Dow did slip into the negative column right near the close on a late-afternoon pullback. The day started out with a move up, and then a retest of support, which was successful. That triggered a steady rise all through late morning and mid-day into mid-afternoon when they finally reached their session peaks near 1510 NDX and 947 SPX. At that point they got a last hour pullback that pulled them off the highs to pare the gains. Net on the day the Dow lost 1.43, the S&P 500 was up 3.29, and the Nasdaq 100 up 13.06. That was chiefly fueled by the Philadelphia Semiconductor Index (SOXX), jumped 12.05 today, or about 4 1/2 percent. The technicals were positive by 3 to 2 on advance-declines on New York and a like amount on Nasdaq. But up/down volume was the story today on Nasdaq, with nearly 4 to 1 positive on total volume of more than[More...]

Thursday Snapback Session

Fri, 05 Jun 2009 00:14:28 GMT

The indices had a real good snapback session after yesterday’s losses, moving higher from the get-go, consolidating all morning, and then moving higher mid-day. A subsequent mid-afternoon consolidation held support, and they came back up in the last hour to close near the session highs. Net on the day the Dow was up 74.96 at 8750.24, the S&P 500 up 10.70 at 942.46, and the Nasdaq 100 up 17.30 to 1492.74. Advance-declines were just under 4 to 1 positive on New York and 2 1/2 to 1 positive on Nasdaq. Up/down volume was about 3 to 1 positive on New York on total volume of 1 1/4 billion. Nasdaq traded over 2.4 billion and had a better than 4 to 1 positive volume ratio. TheTechTrader.com board was nearly all higher today. Only a few issues were down just small fractions. Leading the way to the upside was portfolio position OncoGenex Pharmaceuticals (OGXI), up[More...]

Technically Significant Day As Indices Make Large Gains

Tue, 02 Jun 2009 00:30:50 GMT

The indices started the week with a bang and ended with big gains on the day. The session started out with a big gap to the upside. They ran very sharply higher and hard early on, eased into a lower angle of ascent, but continued higher all morning, backed and filled mid-day, and reached their mid-day and session peaks with about 3 hours to go. Then they rolled over to do a serious test in late afternoon that held at 1470 NDX and 940 SPX. The last hour saw a sharp snapback towards the session highs, and then they pulled back a little into the close. Net on the day the Dow was up 221.11 at 8721.44, the S&P 500 up 23.73 at 942.87, and the Nasdaq 100 up 41.55 at 1477.12. The Philadelphia Semiconductor Index (SOXX) had a monster day, up 14.40, nearly 5 percent, at 285.71. Advance-declines were 5 to 1 positive on New York and about[More...]

Stocks Hang Around In A Tight Trading Range Consolidating The Gains Of Yesterday On Lower Volume

Thu, 18 Dec 2008 13:47:00 GMT

Today was a pretty boring session for those that stare at their computer screens all day as major stock indexes stayed in a tight volatile range as most pulled back around 1% on lower volume. This was taken to mean two different things for two different class of traders. The bulls championed today’s action because they were able to hold onto the gains after retaking the 50 day moving average. However, on the other end, I heard bears say that the inability of the market to rally further on the gains shows lack of confidence and confirmation on yesterday’s gains. I on the other hand have no opinion and take the market for what it was today. A tight ranged inside day (basically an inside day. A few indexes went a little outside yesterday’s price range) on lower volume. It was neither bullish or bearish. It just was what it was. Now, there was one thing that happened today that has not happened yet during this entire[More...]

Stocks Resume Selloff As Distribution Day Rattles Investors Who Bought Last Weeks LAME Rally

Tue, 02 Dec 2008 05:33:00 GMT

Do people not pay attention to volume at all? I am starting to begin they don’t after listening to all the typical talking loud-mouths this weekend. They all clamored and were happy the indexes were up 15% to 20% last week. Yet not a single person anywhere mentioned that volume was lower and lower each day as the rally went along. They also did not mention that we were right near/at the 50 day moving averages which are in a downtrend on all the indexes. Leaving these two key facts out made anything they said irrelevant. There was always a possibility of waking up and seeing a market running away today but the truth is this market is predictable yet insanely impossible to trade unless you are a daytrader. After my initial short positions before the selloff really started, things have been harder to manage as shorts are not going down in a smooth line like they should in a bear market. This is making for a very difficult trading environment and why unless[More...]

Stocks Put In A Very Bullish Session Across The Board With One Big Problem: No Volume

Thu, 27 Nov 2008 04:54:00 GMT

Stocks put in a very impressive drive higher as another round of short-squeezing hit investors who were a little too heavily short coming into today. The reason why I would call this another short-squeeze rally is that, once again, volume has fallen on a day where the market rallies an extreme amount. If you are playing the indexes on an intraday or very short term basis, the volume is not important and all you will need to focus on is the price action. Then you either move with the trend and/or use support and resistance on price charts to implement your methodology. However, when it comes to wanting to build stock/option positions over a period of time and reap the huge rewards that come to those who invest with those, you need to see volume expand on the rallies and retreat on the pullbacks before you can feel confident to go all-in long with full margin. Until we find volume showing up on the rallies on the indexes, with pullbacks[More...]

Long Picks For Wednesday

Wed, 05 Nov 2008 14:45:00 GMT

For today's short ideas, go here. Most of the best action continues to be in the commodities and energy. Investors are likely to continue to buy dips and breakouts in these sectors. While the following charts are more focused on stocks that are not yet too extended, I will also be looking intraday for stocks that are pulling back to support on low volume. - SD was higher with volume yesterday, and looks like it may rally off of this base.

Thursday Watchlist

Thu, 30 Oct 2008 15:22:00 GMT

I am finding more charts that look good on the long side, although most would benefit from a low volume pullback. Here is the my watchlist, all long: TNH, APWR, PXP, PDO, MTL, DO, SMH, AG, ZEUS, CLS, RRC, RIO, CNQ, FCX, AUY, TBSI, EXM, GPOR, XEC, CCJ, CHL, CRS, BEAV, WAG, ATI, PCP, APA, WW, EGLE, MPEL, RAH, ADCT, EGY, RIG, ENER. While the watchlist is dominated by long picks, I am not fully in the bullish camp yet. Yesterday's end of day selloff created some long upper wicks on candlestick charts, generally a bearish indicator. Let's take at the SPY chart as an example: [More...]

The Struggle Continues

Tue, 28 Oct 2008 14:33:00 GMT

In the last two weeks, the stock market has transitioned from a steep decline to a situation of two-sided, volatile trading. There are clearly buyers interested at this level. However, up until now, the sellers have retained the upper hand, perhaps due to a prevailing sense of fear and insecurity, or maybe due to forced selling. In the premarket this morning, we have a likely gap higher on the heels of a big day in overseas markets. Looking at the SPY chart, we can see that price is sitting at the prior low. If we can rally off of this level on high volume, we have a good chance for a sustained move higher. [More...]
